Star Buds officials have made enough changes to their plans for a new dispensary in town to earn a stamp of approval from Riverside’s planning and zoning commission. At its Aug. 6 special meeting, the commission voted to recommend approving four petitions from Star Buds for its plans to build a 4,090-square-foot dispensary building and an adjacent 1,400-squarefoot retail space. The buildings would be constructed on village land that the company is slated to purchase by next summer. The commission first heard Star Buds’ petitions at a meeting in June but tabled its vote after the commissioners took issue with parts of the development’s design; rather than voting to recommend denying the petitions, the commissioners allowed Star Buds to address the issues before bringing its petitions back before them last week. Riverside trustees will review the development plans in their entirety at the village board’s Aug. 15 meeting before voting to approve or deny them. The village board has the final say on the matter, reSee STAR BUDS on page 5
