Summary
Beaverton's Development Code keeps new retail marijuana sales 1,000 feet from any existing dispensary or retailer: a business-spacing rule, not a school or park buffer.
Retail Marijuana Sales shall: a. be subject to the provisions of ORS 475B.109-119 and OAR Chapter 845, division 25; b. be located 1,000 feet from any existing Marijuana Dispensary or Retail Marijuana Sales use, except for instances of colocation within the same premises of Marijuana Dispensary and Retail Marijuana Sales uses when such colocation is permitted by state law.
Full Breakdown
Development Code § 20.10.20 footnote 16 requires Retail Marijuana Sales uses to sit at least 1,000 feet from any existing Marijuana Dispensary or Retail Marijuana Sales use in Beaverton's commercial zones, unless the two are co-located on the same premises as permitted by state law. That is a retailer-to-retailer spacing rule, not a buffer from schools or parks: the code separately subjects retail marijuana sales to ORS 475B.109-119 and OAR Chapter 845, division 25, the state rules that set any school-proximity requirement. Retail marijuana sales may also operate only between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. This applies inside Beaverton city limits in Washington County, Oregon, not the surrounding unincorporated county.
Violations & Fines
A new retail marijuana sales use sited within 1,000 feet of an existing dispensary or retailer, without qualifying co-location, violates Development Code § 20.10.20 and is subject to code enforcement.
