Cannabis shop rejected

A proposed retail cannabis dispensary in southeast Fresno was rejected by the Fresno City Council in a unanimous 7-0 vote on Thursday, July 25, 2024. The decision overturned an earlier Fresno Planning Commission approval of the dispensary.

The dispensary operator, Yuma Way Cannabis Co., has already received a license from the California Department of Cannabis Control, but the City of Fresno has local authority for approval through zoning and land-use permits.
