Illinois CRTA bars adult-use dispensaries within 1,500 feet of another dispensary, and Cook County Code Ch. 102 zoning amendments add 1,500-foot buffers from K-12 schools, daycares, and residential zones for cannabis retailers in unincorporated areas, measured property line to property line.
The Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act sets a statewide 1,500-foot dispensary-to-dispensary buffer and authorizes municipalities and counties to add their own sensitive-use buffers. Cook County's Ch. 102 cannabis zoning amendments require dispensaries in unincorporated areas to sit at least 1,500 feet from K-12 schools, licensed daycare centers, and residentially zoned property, plus 250 feet from public parks. The Cook County Department of Building and Zoning verifies buffer compliance during the special-use permit review by the Zoning Board of Appeals before any state license can attach to the location. Pre-existing dispensaries are generally grandfathered if a sensitive use opens later.
Operating inside a buffer voids the special-use permit, blocks state license issuance by IDFPR, and exposes operators to Ch. 102 zoning enforcement, daily fines, and abatement actions through the Cook County State's Attorney.
