Aurora cannabis retail stores must maintain 1,000-foot buffer from schools, daycares, and residential treatment facilities under Title 13 licensing rules and Colorado state minimum buffer law.
Aurora Code Title 13 establishes location restrictions for retail marijuana stores. Cannabis dispensaries cannot operate within 1,000 feet of schools, alcohol or drug treatment facilities, or child care centers. The buffer is measured from property line to property line. Aurora caps total retail marijuana licenses citywide and zones cannabis retail to specific commercial corridors. Buffer reductions are not permitted by variance. State law CRS 44-10-313 sets a 1,000-foot statewide minimum, and Aurora retains its stricter zoning overlay. New license applications must include a survey verifying the buffer.
Operating a dispensary inside the buffer zone results in license denial, license revocation, and potential closure orders from Aurora Marijuana Enforcement Division. Repeat zoning violations carry municipal fines.
