Marijuana odor emanating from a north Boulder marijuana grow facility has earned the grow's owner a $10,000 penalty from the city, which says it tried to negotiate better compliance but levied the fine when that outreach failed.
The facility, just west of the corner of Broadway and Lee Hill Drive, is registered as Dandelion Grow and is owned by the same group representing Native Roots Dispensary, the largest pot chain and license holder in Colorado.
It's Dandelion's second violation this month related to odor, which in total has cost the grow $14,000 in fines — more than any other single fine the city has administered since recreational marijuana became legal Jan. 1, 2014.
"We went through a two-month process with this business, attempting to mentor them and address the concerns the community had" about the smell of marijuana that frequently drifts to nearby homes, said city spokeswoman Sarah Huntley.
