April 10, 2018 I Volume 12 I Issue 7 Zoning Bulletin <br />MASSACHUSETTS <br />Worcester City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. reportedly <br />"wants to ban recreational marijuana retail stores, cultivators, <br />manufacturers and related establishments from all residential -zoned <br />areas and preclude them from being located within 500 feet of <br />schools, public parks, playgrounds, licensed day care centers and <br />public libraries." Augustus has proposed zoning amendments that <br />would allow recreational marijuana establishments only by special <br />permit in areas zoned for manufacturing and business uses, as well <br />as in Institutional -Hospital zones and in the Airport zone. Municipali- <br />ties are moving forward on marijuana -related zoning regulations as <br />Massachusetts' Cannabis Control Commission is scheduled to begin <br />accepting applications for recreational marijuana establishments on <br />April 1. <br />Source: Worcester Telegram; www.tele2ram.com <br />NEW JERSEY <br />The City of Woodbury's City Council has "unanimously ap- <br />proved" making permanent what had been a two-year pilot program, <br />allowing property owners to keep chickens.

The ordinance also continues a Chicken Advi- <br />sory Board to ensure chicken owners comply with the ordinance. <br />Source: NJ. coin, www.ni.com <br />12 ©2018 Thomson Reuters <br />
