Las Vegas cannabis establishments must sit a minimum distance from schools, daycares, parks, and houses of worship. Title 19 zoning enforces 1,000-foot setbacks for dispensaries and shorter buffers for cultivation, production, and lounges.
Under Las Vegas Municipal Code Title 19 and NRS 678B, marijuana retail establishments must locate at least 1,000 feet from any public or private school and 300 feet from licensed daycares, parks, or community facilities frequented by minors. Houses of worship typically have a 300-foot buffer. Cultivation and production sites face industrial-zone restrictions but smaller residential buffers, while consumption lounges authorized under AB 341 must follow dispensary-style separations. Buffer measurement runs from property line to property line, and special-use permits require neighborhood notice and Planning Commission review.
Operating inside a buffer, misrepresenting distances, or failing to maintain buffer compliance after a sensitive use opens triggers license review by the Cannabis Compliance Board and city revocation.
