Camarillo prohibits commercial cannabis businesses including dispensaries, cultivation facilities, manufacturing, and delivery services within city limits under CMC Chapter 9.50. The city has opted out of commercial cannabis licensing under California Business and Professions Code Section 26200.
CMC Chapter 9.50 (Cannabis Regulations) prohibits all commercial cannabis activities within the city of Camarillo. This includes retail dispensaries, delivery services, cultivation facilities, manufacturing, distribution, testing laboratories, and microbusinesses. California Business and Professions Code Section 26200 allows cities to prohibit or regulate commercial cannabis within their jurisdictions, and Camarillo has exercised its authority to impose a complete ban. No zoning district in CMC Title 19 lists cannabis businesses as a permitted or conditionally permitted use. The prohibition includes both storefront dispensaries and delivery-only operations. However, state-licensed delivery services based in other jurisdictions may deliver to Camarillo addresses under California law (BPC Section 26090), as the city cannot prohibit delivery from outside its borders. Camarillo residents must travel to jurisdictions that allow retail cannabis sales (such as Port Hueneme, Oxnard, or unincorporated Ventura County areas) to purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries.
Operating any commercial cannabis business in Camarillo violates CMC 9.50 and is subject to code enforcement, nuisance abatement, and criminal prosecution. Violations are misdemeanors. Contact Camarillo Police at (805) 388-5100 or Community Development at (805) 388-5360.
