Marijuana-Related Uses

The city’s zoning code permits multiple medical- and recreational-marijuana-related uses either by right or with a discretionary use permit, subject to use-specific standards (§17.30.030).

It defines two permissible types of “medical marijuana business”: “medical marijuana center” and “medical marijuana-infused products manufacturer” (§17.08.321). And it defines four types of “retail marijuana establishment”: “retail marijuana cultivation facility,” “retail marijuana products manufacturing facility,” “retail marijuana store,” and “retail marijuana testing facility” (§17.08.406). Of these, only retail marijuana stores and testing facilities are permitted in the city.

The code’s use-specific standards for medical marijuana businesses address use permissions; separation from other medical-marijuana-related uses, schools, playgrounds or pools, outdoor education facilities, alcohol or drug treatment facilities, college campuses, and residential child care facilities; prohibition in specific zoning districts; maximum floor area; prohibitions on outdoor or transient vendors (§17.16.235).
