Saint Paul Title 7 and Title VIII zoning code restrict cannabis retail, manufacturing, cultivation, and testing facilities to specific commercial and industrial zoning districts, consistent with Minnesota's local-control framework under Minn. Stat. §342.13.
Under Saint Paul's post-HF 100 cannabis ordinance, cannabis retail and lower-potency hemp edible retail are permitted in commercial corridors and traditional neighborhood districts, while cultivation, manufacturing, and testing are limited to industrial districts. On-site consumption events require event-specific permits and are not permitted as ongoing uses. Cannabis businesses cannot co-locate with pharmacies or alcohol retailers in some district overlays. Title VIII zoning conditional-use review may apply for sites near sensitive uses. Minn. Stat. §342.13 caps the number of retailers cities must allow at one per 12,500 residents, which Saint Paul applies as its retail registration cap.
Locating a cannabis business outside permitted districts violates zoning and Title 7 and can result in denial of registration, stop-work orders, and zoning enforcement by DSI.
