West Roxbury could get second marijuana emporium, this one with home delivery

The Zoning Board of Appeal next month considers an application for a marijuana grow facility and home-delivery center at 1457 VFW Parkway in West Roxbury, where Party City and Chair Fair used to be.

One of the issues the board will have to consider is whether to grant Injaga Delivery's proposed Zazazooom (yes, with three Os) an exemption from the city's little observed marijuana buffer-zone ordinance, which was supposed to keep at least a half mile between marijuana establishments. UpTop, the place with the "Why Not? It's Legal!" billboard, operates on the other side of the parkway, in the "fun" mall with the sex-toys and smoke shops and liquor store at 1524 VFW Parkway.

Zazazooom co-owner Shalair Armstrong had a zoning hearing set for yesterday, but asked for a deferral because she only got a formal traffic study for her proposed shop on Friday and wanted more time to look it over and present it to the zoning board, which typically asks operators of proposed marijuana operations about parking and traffic, as well as security and queue management. The board rescheduled its hearing for April 30.

The city signed a "host community agreement" with Injaga in October.
