Cannabis cultivation, production, distribution, and retail are restricted to specific zoning districts in Las Vegas. Title 19 caps the number of city dispensary licenses, requires special-use permits, and bans operations in residential zones.
Las Vegas Title 19 zoning and Title 6 business licensing govern where each cannabis license type can locate. Retail dispensaries are limited to commercial corridors with special-use permits, with a city-set cap on total dispensary licenses originally allocated through Cannabis Compliance Board lotteries. Cultivation and production typically require industrial M-1 or M-2 zoning. Consumption lounges require their own SUP under AB 341 implementation. All cannabis uses are prohibited in residential, mixed-use, or office zones, and Title 19 setbacks must coordinate with state buffer rules.
Operating outside permitted zones, exceeding the city license cap, or running unlicensed lounges leads to CCB and Las Vegas Department of Business Licensing closure orders and license revocation.
