Marijuana-Related Uses

The city’s zoning code permits multiple types of medical-marijuana-related uses by right, subject to use-specific standards (§17.40.110). It defines “medical marijuana cultivation, infusion or manufacturing facility” and “medical marijuana dispensary” (§17.04.030).

Its use-specific standards for medical-marijuana-related uses address business licensing; documentation of affiliation between dispensaries and production facilities; operating procedures; land surveys; site, floor, and security plans; building permits; retail sales; food product sales; on-site consumption; fixed, permanent location requirements; drive-through services; waste disposal; separation from residential districts, churches, schools, childcare facilities, parks or recreational areas, family entertainment businesses, and other marijuana-related uses; facility maintenance; odor control and ventilation; staffing; and hours of operation.
