Coconino County, AZ Cannabis Regulations: Dispensary Zoning (2026)

Section 3.12.B.1 makes Medical Marijuana Dispensaries 'a permitted use in the CG-10,000 (Commercial General) and CH-10,000 (Commercial Heavy) Zones, or in the PC (Planned Community) Zone in areas designated for development subject to CG-10,000 and CH-10,000 Uses.' Off-Site Cultivation and Infusion Facilities are separately permitted in the IL-10,000 (Light Industrial) and IH-6,000 (Heavy Industrial) zones, or as a Conditional Use in CH-10,000, per Section 3.12.B.2. Operationally, Section 3.12.C requires a dispensary to sit in a permanent building, never a trailer, cargo container or motor vehicle; to maintain a single secure entrance and security measures under A.R.S. § 36-2806(C); and to stay under 2,500 gross square feet.

Hours are fixed at 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., drive-through service is prohibited outright, and the facility cannot emit dust, fumes, vapors, odors or hazardous waste. Marijuana remnants must be secured and disposed of separately from the site's exterior refuse containers. On-site cultivation and infusion is allowed within a dispensary, and a dispensary may operate one additional off-site cultivation/infusion location under A.R.S. § 36-2804(B)(1)(b)(ii). Establishing either use requires an Administrative Permit issued under Section 3.12.D.1 in compliance with Section 5.1's general permit procedures, meaning the applicant clears the same administrative-completeness review, permit fee and compliance verification as any other administrative use in the county.
