Zoning rules for cannabis businesses include where cannabis businesses can open. 

Cannabis dispensaries must be

• At least 300 feet from K-12 schools
• Located in a commercial or industrial area that is at least 3 acres big and allows a dispensary.

The map shows locations that:

• Cover three connected acres
• 300 ft spacing from K-12 schools

Applicants should not rely on this map alone for land use verification. The map may not reflect the most current zoning information. Call 311 to talk to a planner about zoning rules and to find out if a location allows a cannabis business.

Understanding the map

• Colored parcels: If a parcel is red, blue, or purple, it is zoned correctly for a dispensary. These lots are in a commercial or industrial area. They cover three connected acres and allows a dispensary.
• Grey parcels: parcels shown in grey do not currently allow a dispensary.
• Blue buffers: The blue areas around schools show that dispensaries must be at least 300 feet away from K-12 schools.
  
  • Blue buffer areas do not allow dispensaries.
  • If any portion of a parcel is in the blue buffer area, that entire parcel is not eligible for a dispensary.
