California requires a 600-foot buffer between licensed cannabis businesses and schools, daycares, and youth centers. Moorpark's full commercial ban makes the buffer largely moot, but the rule still affects delivery routing.
Business and Professions Code Section 26054 prohibits any state-licensed cannabis business from operating within 600 feet of a K-12 school, daycare center, or youth center existing at the time of license application. Local jurisdictions may extend the buffer. Because Moorpark bans commercial cannabis citywide, no licensed premises exist locally, but delivery drivers still cannot consume on the job near these sensitive uses, and personal cultivation cannot occur at home daycares per state law. The buffer protects schools like Moorpark High School, Mesa Verde Middle School, and Moorpark College from proximate cannabis commerce.
Operating a licensed cannabis premises within the 600-foot buffer or cultivating at a licensed daycare home brings state license revocation and fines from the Department of Cannabis Control.
