A proposal by Denver City Councilwoman Robin Kniech laying out new regulations for marijuana sales in Denver advanced from a council committee Monday to a first reading in the council’s regular meeting on April 11.

The proposal moved ahead after a council member unsuccessfully tried to add several provisions to it.

Councilwoman Debbie Ortega suggested nine amendments to the proposal Monday. Her proposals included:

A ban on locating future recreational marijuana stores and medical pot dispensaries together;
A prohibition on further licensing of marijuana-products manufacturing facilities;
Restricting the move of any marijuana sales or cultivation license into “saturated ZIP codes.” [Read more at the Denver Business Journal]
