Taylor, MI Cannabis Regulations: Dispensary Zoning (2026)

Taylor Zoning Ordinance, Appendix A § 11.02(1)(c) prohibits a marihuana establishment from operating in any residential zoning district or in a residential unit anywhere in the City of Taylor. Section 11.02(2) layers on location criteria that apply to all marihuana establishment types except safety compliance operations: a marihuana establishment may not operate within 2,500 feet of a preexisting school (kindergarten through grade 12), a church, temple, synagogue or other place of worship, any district zoned residential, a public library, a state-licensed child care center, playground, pool, or youth center, or another marihuana establishment, measured in a straight line from the nearest structure of the protected use to the front entrance of the establishment's building.

Under § 11.02(3) through (7), growers, processors, secure transporters, and retailers are permitted only in the I-1 and I-2 zoning districts, with growing confined to fully enclosed buildings and retailers barred from co-location with liquor stores or fuel stations selling alcohol. Beyond zoning, Taylor City Code § 11-4 caps no numeric limit on the number of licensed grower, processor, secure transporter, provisioning center, or retailer businesses, but § 11-5 requires a separate city operating permit and a $5,000.00 annual nonrefundable local permit fee per business in addition to the state operating license, and § 11-6 makes zoning-ordinance compliance a precondition of any permit.
