Eagle Mountain, UT Cannabis Regulations: Buffer Zones (2026)

040 sets the setbacks for the Warehouse Farming Overlay Zone. Subsection A requires ordinary warehouse farms to follow the underlying zone's setback provisions unless the city council approves a modification. Subsection B adds a stricter rule for a cannabis production establishment: in addition to complying with the underlying zone's setbacks, the facility must also be set back a minimum of 1,000 feet from six protected uses: public or private schools, religious buildings of any faith (churches, synagogues, mosques, or any other place of worship), daycares or preschools, any public or private park, any property zoned predominantly for residential uses, and the nearest dwelling unit, which counts even if that dwelling sits in a zone not primarily meant for residential development.

The section specifies how the buffer is measured: distances are taken "following the shortest route of ordinary pedestrian or vehicular travel," not a straight-line radius, so an operator has to map actual travel paths to the six protected uses rather than draw a simple circle. 010, the 1,000-foot buffer functions as a second, independent layer of separation on top of that zoning restriction, meaning even an otherwise-eligible industrial parcel can be disqualified if a school, park, church, daycare or home sits within the buffer distance.
