Chinatown, one of San Francisco’s densest and most colorful neighborhoods, is home to everything from vast banquet halls to tiny dim sum parlors, a fortune cookie factory to traditional medicine shops. One thing it doesn’t have? A cannabis dispensary.
And it could stay that way if the Board of Supervisors passes an ordinance Tuesday that would ban marijuana retailers from Chinatown.
“Our zoning laws have always respected the desires of local neighbors ... and this is no different,” said Supervisor Aaron Peskin, the sponsor of this ordinance whose district includes Chinatown.
