The Garden at Red Bank, a cannabis business, needs a conditional-use OK from the board for its plan to build a one-story, 2,542-square-foot structure on site at the town’s northern gateway, where Route 35 (Riverside Avenue) meets Rector Place and Bridge Avenue.
The plan calls for 31 parking spaces, landscaping improvements and more.
A January filing with the New Jersey Secretary of State identifies the management of Garden at Red Bank LLC as Jamie Dinar, of “Long Beach, NJ,” though the zip code included is for Long Branch.
The business joins a budding race to be the first legal marijuana dealer to open in town. So far, three cannabis shops have cleared reviews by the planning board and the borough’s new Cannabis Review Board, leading to the issuance of licenses last month by the council. They are:
• Monteverde NJ at 45 North Bridge Avenue, a former dry cleaner’s shop
• The Frosted Nug, planning to open in the space formerly occupied by the China Moon Restaurant in the Crate’s Liquors strip mall, also on North Bridge
• Canopy Crossroad, which would abut Red Bank Liquors at 9 West Street.
