Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Title XIII permits marijuana establishments only in C-2 and C-3 commercial zones with a Conditional Use Permit. Cultivation and infusion are limited to the IND-1 and IND-2 industrial zones, subject to setbacks, screening, and air-quality requirements.
Maricopa County Planning and Development Department implements Title XIII chapter 12 to govern marijuana establishments in unincorporated areas. Retail dispensaries are a conditional use in the C-2 Intermediate Commercial and C-3 General Commercial zones, requiring a Board of Adjustment hearing, neighborhood notice within 1000 feet, and findings on traffic, parking, and security. Cultivation, processing, and infusion facilities are conditional uses in IND-1 Light Industrial and IND-2 Heavy Industrial zones, with carbon-filter odor control and Maricopa County Air Quality Department permit compliance. Hours are limited to 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Drive-through sales are barred. Outdoor cultivation is generally prohibited except in IND-2 with screening.
Operating a dispensary outside an approved commercial zone or without a Conditional Use Permit triggers stop-work orders and daily civil penalties up to seven hundred dollars under Title XIII chapter 16, plus risk of ADHS license action.
