Full Breakdown
Beaverton's Downtown Use Regulations flatly prohibit Marijuana Dispensary and Retail and Wholesale Marijuana Sales uses in all four Downtown Regional Center zoning districts, RC-BC, RC-OT, RC-MU, and RC-DT, per Table 70.15.20.A of Development Code § 70.15.20. The Residential Zoning Districts table at § 20.05.20 likewise lists these uses as Prohibited in the MR, RMA, RMB, and RMC zones. Outside downtown and residential areas, the Commercial Zoning Districts table at § 20.10.20 does allow marijuana dispensaries and retail marijuana sales, permitted or conditional depending on the zone. Beaverton has not adopted a local opt-out ordinance; its code instead channels these businesses into specific commercial zones inside city limits, Washington County, Oregon.
Violations & Fines
Operating a dispensary or retail marijuana business in a residential or downtown zone, or without required Conditional Use approval in a commercial zone, is a Development Code violation subject to enforcement.
