A new retail cannabis store was denied a location at 2001 Harbor Boulevard on Nov. 28 after a 4–2 vote by Costa Mesa’s Planning Commission, with commissioners Russell Toler  and Diane Russell dissenting, and commissioner Jon Zich absent.

The denial comes after commissioners raised concerns about the location of a counseling center, which, in part, treats those with substance abuse, near the proposed store’s desired location.
