Full Breakdown
Marijuana production, processing, testing-laboratory, and wholesale-sales facilities may locate only in Hillsboro's I-G General Industrial, I-P Industrial Park, SC-BP Station Community Business Park, and SCI Station Community Industrial zones, in buildings meeting construction and building-age standards set in § 12.40.194.D.1. Retail marijuana sales are zoned separately and limited to the I-G zone alone. Every facility still needs a state OLCC or OHA license plus City Development Review approval under § 12.80.040; the code's detailed siting and security standards show Hillsboro regulates rather than has exercised its ORS 475B.804 option to opt out of licensing cannabis businesses.
Violations & Fines
Operating a marijuana production, processing, testing, or wholesale facility outside the I-G, I-P, SC-BP, or SCI zones, or without Development Review approval and a state OLCC/OHA license, is a code violation.
