Nevada sets statewide minimum setbacks for licensed cannabis retailers from schools, parks, and similar uses under NRS 678B.250, while authorizing cities and counties to impose additional zoning conditions within those statutory floors.
Under NRS 678B.250 and NAC 678B, retail cannabis stores must be located at least 1,000 feet from any public or private K-12 school and 300 feet from a community facility such as a public park, playground, child care center, or place of worship. The Cannabis Compliance Board verifies setbacks during licensing. Local governments may adopt stricter buffers, cap the number of dispensaries, require conditional use permits, restrict hours, and impose design standards, but cannot reduce the state minimums. Cities and counties may also opt out of allowing dispensaries entirely. Distance is measured property line to property line via the shortest pedestrian route.
Operating outside approved setbacks may lead to license revocation by the Cannabis Compliance Board, civil penalties up to $20,000 per violation, and forced closure.
