Summary

In the City of Moore, Oklahoma, a medical marijuana dispensary may operate only after obtaining a retail dispensary business license and locating within the C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, C-6 or I-1 zoning district. The Community Development inspector must approve the site before the city issues a license, and on-premises marijuana use is banned entirely.

Medical marijuana dispensaries are hereby allowed within the municipal boundaries of Moore, Oklahoma upon compliance of the above general requirements, issuance of a retail medical marijuana dispensary business license and the following additional provisions: A medical marijuana dispensary shall only be located within one of the following zoning districts: C-2, Neighborhood Commercial District. C-3, General Commercial District. C-4, Planned Shopping Center District. C-5, Automotive and Commercial Recreation District. C-6, Central Business District. I-1, Light Industrial District.

Full Breakdown

Sec 8-1203 of the Moore Code of Ordinances allows medical marijuana dispensaries anywhere in the city's C-2 Neighborhood Commercial, C-3 General Commercial, C-4 Planned Shopping Center, C-5 Automotive and Commercial Recreation, C-6 Central Business, or I-1 Light Industrial districts, but nowhere else. Before opening, the operator must first hold a valid Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority license, then apply to the city clerk for a retail dispensary business license under the general requirements of Sec 8-1202. Community Development schedules a property inspection, which the applicant must attend, to confirm the structure, equipment and apparatus meet current state and Moore building and fire codes.

The retail establishment must also carry a valid Oklahoma sales tax permit and remit all required state and city sales tax. No on-premises use of marijuana or its derivatives is allowed at the dispensary, and any violation of Sec 8-1203's conditions results in revocation of the retail license. The city manager or a designee may also revoke or suspend the underlying medical marijuana business license for fraud in the application, any violation of a city ordinance, state law or Department of Health rule, or conduct amounting to a public nuisance, after notice and an opportunity to be heard before the city manager.

Revocation of the Oklahoma-issued license triggers automatic revocation of the city license. A nonrefundable license fee and an annual renewal fee, set by the city's fee schedule, apply to every dispensary. Smoking or vaping marijuana on any city property, including parks, vehicles and buildings, is separately prohibited citywide.

Violations & Fines

Operating a commercial medical marijuana facility, including a dispensary, without a current Moore business license is punishable by a fine of up to $500.00, with each day of continued operation charged as a separate offense under Sec 8-1202. On-premises marijuana use, a fraudulent license application, or any ordinance or state-law violation is grounds for the city manager to suspend or revoke the dispensary's city license after a hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What zoning districts allow a marijuana dispensary in Moore, Oklahoma?
Sec 8-1203 limits dispensaries to the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial, C-3 General Commercial, C-4 Planned Shopping Center, C-5 Automotive and Commercial Recreation, C-6 Central Business, and I-1 Light Industrial districts; a dispensary cannot be licensed anywhere else in the city, including any residential or agricultural zone.
Does Moore require its own dispensary license on top of the state license?
Yes. Sec 8-1202 requires every applicant to hold a valid Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority license first, then apply separately to the Moore city clerk for a business license, pay a nonrefundable fee, and pass a Community Development property inspection before opening.
What is the penalty for running a Moore dispensary without a city license?
Sec 8-1202 sets a fine of up to $500.00 for operating a commercial medical marijuana facility without a current municipal license, and treats each additional day of unlicensed operation as a separate offense, so fines can accumulate quickly.
