SDMC §141.0614 requires 1,000 feet between any Marijuana Outlet and a school, public park, library, child-care center, playground, residential care facility, church, or another marijuana outlet, measured property line to property line citywide.
Under SDMC §141.0614, every Marijuana Outlet in San Diego must sit at least 1,000 feet from any K-12 school, public park, public library, licensed child-care center, playground, residential care facility, church, or another Marijuana Outlet. Distances are measured property line to property line. The buffer is stricter than California's 600-foot baseline under Business and Professions Code §26054 and applies citywide regardless of zone. Pre-existing legally permitted outlets generally continue when a sensitive use opens later, but new applications and relocations are denied if any buffer is breached on the application date. The Development Services Department verifies compliance during permit review.
Operating within a buffer triggers denial or revocation of the conditional use permit and Cannabis Business Tax certificate. Continued operation brings civil penalties under SDMC §11 and state Department of Cannabis Control action against the state license.
