A public hearing on a comprehensive ordinance to govern the operation of medical and adult use cannabis establishments in Raritan was removed from the agenda and split into two.
Raritan Borough has now introduced two separate ordinances on cannabis use, and, with expected guidance from the State of New Jersey likely to arrive by late August, an “Opt-Out” ordinance to prohibit any class of “cannabusiness” within the borough is set for a public hearing in July.
Raritan Borough Attorney William Robertson noted the two separate ordinances that were ultimately introduced June 22 – one permitting medical marijuana alternative treatment centers as a conditional use in the borough, the other prohibiting the operation of any class of cannabis businesses within the borough’s geographical boundaries and amending section 207-73 of the borough code.
