Full Breakdown
Section 5.58.126(c) restricts commercial cannabis manufacturing to two mapped subareas: North Perris (north of Perry Street to the city limits, between the Perris Valley Storm Drain Channel and the I-215 Freeway) and South Perris (north of Watson Road, south of Ellis Avenue, between the storm drain channel and the Santa Fe Railroad). A Light Industrial or General Industrial address elsewhere in the city is not automatically eligible, the parcel must fall inside one of these two subareas, clear the 600-foot buffer, and, for Type 7 solvent manufacturers, sit outside March Air Reserve Base Accident Potential Zones.
Violations & Fines
Manufacturing outside the two approved subareas has no path to a valid city permit; operating there is an unpermitted commercial cannabis operation subject to nuisance abatement and permit denial.
