Members of the Fairfax Planning Commission appear willing to relax some of the conditions under which the county's oldest medical marijuana dispensary operates.
Thursday's straw polls suggest a majority of commissioners may be willing to allow the Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana to deliver marijuana to patients' homes and to allow underage patients to enter the dispensary if accompanied by a parent, guardian or medical professional.
But the commission has tabled a request by dispensary director Lynette Shaw to allow the School Street Plaza club to grow its own product, since the alliance has not yet identified where the growing would take place.
"This is a very conscientious commission doing what they can to accommodate the dispensary's wishes to reduce the restrictions placed on it in light of the evolution of the topic matter," said Fairfax Planning Director Jim Moore.
Shaw asked the commission in February to relax some of the 84 conditions imposed upon the Marin Alliance in 1997, when it became California's first legally sanctioned medical marijuana dispensary.
Commissioners could make a final ruling on the club's conditions at their June 17 meeting.
