Full Breakdown
Marysville Municipal Code § 22C.020.070(68) excepts marijuana (cannabis) dispensaries, collective gardens, and marijuana cooperatives from the city's permitted-use tables, stating such facilities and uses are prohibited in all zoning districts of the city. A related development condition, § 22C.020.070(69), separately bars producing, growing, manufacturing, processing, or selling marijuana concentrates, marijuana-infused products, or usable marijuana within commercial, industrial, recreation, and public institutional zones, except for activity in strict compliance with the state medical cannabis provisions at RCW 69.51A.210 and 69.51A.260. Retail marijuana stores licensed under separate state rules are not addressed by this exception language and are governed by their own local licensing chapter, not this provision.
Violations & Fines
Operating a dispensary, collective garden, or cooperative anywhere in city limits is a zoning code violation subject to code enforcement action, civil penalties, and an order to cease operations.
