Grand Rapids permits licensed adult-use and medical marihuana retailers in specified commercial and industrial districts under Title 5, with city approval layered on Michigan CRA state licensing required by MCL Section 333.27951.
The Grand Rapids Cannabis Code (Title 5) authorizes retailer, processor, grower, microbusiness, and safety compliance facility licenses, but only for state-licensed operators regulated by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency. Applicants must locate in eligible zones, secure a special land use approval, and meet capacity caps. Equity applicants from disproportionately impacted communities receive preference. Retailers must maintain security plans, odor control, and age-verification systems. The state Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act preempts outright bans but allows reasonable local zoning.
Operating without both a state CRA license and a Grand Rapids cannabis establishment permit can trigger civil infractions, license revocation, injunctive closure, and forfeiture of inventory.
