The opening of a medical marijuana dispensary in Kankakee will be delayed. The Kankakee City Council will review the location of a facility on S. Schuyler Avenue.

Mayor Nina Epstein expressed concern about the facility being located too close to a residential neighborhood in the 900-block of Schuyler.

The City Council (Tuesday) agreed to table any vote on issuing a Conditional-Use permit for the dispensary to operate. The Council wanted time to review the planning board minutes. Zoning requirements were met for a commercial zone. It’s the nearby neighborhood that may be an issue for further discussion.
