The City Council denied two appeals aimed at preventing the city's second medical marijuana dispensary from opening.

Council members denied the appeals by a 6-1 vote Tuesday night.

K.E. Sampson, a Corralitos resident and medical marijuana patient, plans to turn an empty office building on Limekiln Street into The Santa Cruz Patient Collective.

Several neighbors and business owners said they were concerned about parking, lighting and litter removal, but most people in the overflow crowd at Tuesday-s meetings supported the project.

Sampson said the business will improve the neighborhood, where homeless people live, and provide access to the drug for the county's estimated 3,000 medical pot patients.
