Salt Lake City Title 21A zoning restricts medical cannabis pharmacies to specific zones with a 600-foot buffer from schools. Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Utah; only medical pharmacies licensed by the state may operate.
Utah legalized medical cannabis through Proposition 2 in 2018, modified by House Bill 3001 into a tightly controlled framework under Utah Code §26-61a. The state issues a limited number of medical cannabis pharmacy licenses. Salt Lake City Title 21A zoning restricts these state-licensed pharmacies to commercial and manufacturing zones, requiring a 600-foot separation from K-12 schools and similar separation from residential zones. Recreational cannabis remains illegal under Utah Code §58-37. No social equity program, no delivery aside from limited state-approved courier, and no on-site consumption lounges exist anywhere in Utah.
Operating an unlicensed cannabis dispensary, locating within buffer zones, or selling recreational cannabis violates state and local law and can trigger felony charges plus zoning enforcement.
