Riverside County Ordinance 348.4801 limits commercial cannabis activities to specific industrial and commercial zones in unincorporated areas, with conditional use permits required and minimum buffer distances enforced.
Ordinance 348.4801 added cannabis activity standards to County Land Use Code 348. Retail dispensaries, cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and testing are allowed only in designated zones (typically M-SC, M-M, or C-P-S) with a Conditional Use Permit. Sites must comply with state Bureau of Cannabis Control licensing under Prop 64. Coachella Valley unincorporated parcels host most permitted operators. Operators must obtain both county permits and state Type-10 retail or appropriate cultivation licenses before opening. Most unincorporated areas remain off-limits.
Operating without county CUP and state license: shutdown order, daily fines, criminal referral under MAUCRSA, permit revocation.
