A dispensary had its plans to open in Costa Mesa shot down on appeal Aug. 1 by the Costa Mesa City Council after the city’s planning commission rejected the marijuana shop in May.

The council backed the planning commission’s denial in a 5–2 vote, with Mayor John Stephens and Councilman Jeffrey Harlan voting in favor of the dispensary’s approval.
