The Green Park Board of Aldermen passed a resolution approving a final development plan for a marijuana dispensary at 5600 S. Lindbergh Blvd. – the site of the former Regions Bank on the corner of Lindbergh Boulevard and Tesson Ferry Road – at its Feb. 24 meeting.
The meeting – originally scheduled for Feb. 18, as the third Monday of the month, when the board typically meets, was President’s Day – was postponed a week due to snow.
The resolution, submitted by Organic Remedies MO, Inc., passed by a vote of 5-1, with Ward 2 Alderman Ron Slattery voting opposed. This closely mirrored the preliminary development vote held at the board’s January meeting in which Ward 2 Alderman Ron Slattery voted opposed, while Ward 1 Alderman Carol Hamilton, Ward 2 Alderman Tammy Witzig and both Ward 3 Aldermen – Joe Monteleone and Marty Finn – voted in favor. Ward 1 Alderman Michael Broughton did not vote in January as he was absent.
It should be noted that the city has a restriction on how close marijuana dispensaries can be to each other, maintaining that there must be 1,000 feet between locations. Organic Remedies MO, Inc. –who does business as “CODES Dispensary” – currently operates another dispensary at 11420 Concord Village Ave., just 800 feet from the new site at 5600 S. Lindbergh Blvd. Because the final development plan passed, the existing CODES will close before the new CODES opens.

The new CODES will operate in a two-story, 6,384 square foot building. The first floor will be utilized for the comprehensive marijuana dispensary, while the second floor will be used for offices, a break room, storage and/or an ancillary work area. No customers will have access to the second floor.
