Banning cannabis businesses in Darien and prohibiting fuel tanks in front of buildings don’t have anything to do with each other — except that the Planning & Zoning Commission is asking public to comment on each on Tuesday in separate public hearings.
— an announcement from the Planning & Zoning Commission
Cannabis Businesses
The Commission has put forth a proposal to prohibit Cannabis Establishments in Darien. This includes, but is not limited to: dispensaries, growers, manufacturers, or retail establishments.
The current zoning regulations do not permit Cannabis establishments as part of a broader category of business. This proposed amendment addresses Cannabis establishments specifically.
The proposed amendment can be found in the OpenGov portal at—PL-24-69…or viewed in the Planning & Zoning Department during regular office hours Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
New Regulations on Propane Tanks and Other Fuel Tanks
This proposal would amend the zoning regulations to prohibit placement of new above-ground propane and other tanks in the front of a building (either commercial or residential). Above ground tanks can be placed to the side or rear of a building only.
New below ground tanks will need to meet current Building Code setbacks.
The regulation amendment regarding propane and other fuel storage tanks can be found in the OpenGov portal at—PL-24-70 … or viewed in the Planning & Zoning Department during regular office hours, Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
