Plan approved for “skunky” smell at Phoenix marijuana business

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A city zoning adjustment officer approved a plan for a marijuana business to address numerous complaints about a smell coming from the facility in an industrial park along Interstate 10 near Sky Harbor Airport.

Arizona’s Family Investigates first reported on the issue with the Trulieve marijuana facility in April 2023.

The “skunky” marijuana smell is most prevalent on Interstate 10, near the Interstate 17 interchange.

A city zoning adjustment officer approved a plan where the business “shall install and maintain per manufacturer’s specifications an odor control system within one year of today’s hearing. Applicant shall submit an odor control plan identifying contact person for odor complaints to the Planning and Development Department.”

Neighboring businesses complained to the city’s neighborhood services department about the smell. In a July 2023 hearing, the company stated that it had made significant improvements since the complaints came in, adding air scrubbers, charcoal filters and repairing holes in the facility’s ceiling.
