City Council - Sep 1, 2026
Council finalized zoning rules spelling out where medical/adult-use cannabis facilities could locate and their operating hours (10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily). It passed 5-2 — opponents stressed the rules are strict but said they still oppose dispensaries in town.
City Council - Aug 4, 2026
Council advanced zoning rules for medical marijuana and adult use cannabis shops — 1,000-foot buffers from schools and parks (stricter than the state's 500 feet), with hours set at 10 a.m.-8 p.m. to match liquor stores. No business has applied yet; likely areas would be near Country Charm, Lighthouse Way and part of Levis.
City Council - Jul 7, 2026
The city is writing rules that would allow one adult-use/medical marijuana dispensary, at least 1,000 feet from schools, churches, daycares, libraries, playgrounds and parks, open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday plus Sundays. Committee members pushed to extend hours and allow Sunday sales so it works like alcohol rules. Three ordinances got first readings.
Planning and Zoning Committee - Jun 23, 2026
Perrysburg is laying the ground rules for cannabis dispensaries: one store max, 1,000 feet from schools, churches, parks and libraries, stricter security, and tightly restricted signage. The committee softened the proposed hours to 9am-7pm with Sunday sales before sending it to Council. The final decision lands July 7.
City Council - Jun 2, 2026
Planning and Zoning is weighing how strictly to regulate adult-use and medical marijuana dispensaries — buffer zones from schools and churches, signage, lighting, security, and hours (state allows 7 a.m.–9 p.m.; the city can be stricter). Draft legislation is expected June 23, with possible council first reading July 7 and final vote by September 1.
Planning and Zoning Committee - May 26, 2026
The city is drafting rules for cannabis dispensaries: how close they can be to schools, churches and libraries, plus restrictions on signage, lighting, security and hours. The state allows 7 a.m.–9 p.m., but Perrysburg could go stricter. Residents are split — some worry about kids, one business owner worries over-restrictive signage rules will keep operators away.
City Council - Apr 21, 2026
