Adult-use dispensaries are state-licensed and operate in the Peoria area. Where they may open is a local decision: under state law, the City of Peoria and Peoria County may enact reasonable zoning limits on cannabis establishments, or bar them, but cannot prohibit lawful possession or use.
Adult-use dispensaries are licensed by the state, through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and licensed dispensaries operate in the Peoria area. Where they may open is a local decision. Under 410 ILCS 705/55-25, a unit of local government, including a home-rule unit like the City of Peoria and a non-home-rule county within its unincorporated territory, may enact reasonable zoning ordinances regulating cannabis business establishments, covering location, distance buffers, hours, and number, so long as they do not conflict with the Act. A locality may also cap or bar dispensaries, but may not prohibit the possession or use the Act allows. Peoria County zones unincorporated sites; the City of Peoria zones within its limits.
A dispensary operating outside local zoning or without the required conditional-use or special-use approval risks denial or revocation of local approval and enforcement action, on top of its state licensing conditions.
