Florida preempts local regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries: cities must either allow MMTCs in any zone permitting pharmacies or ban them entirely. Temple Terrace follows the statewide framework.
Under FL §381.986(11), local governments have a binary choice: permit Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers under the same zoning rules as pharmacies (generally commercial and professional office zones) or ban them outright within city limits. The state preempts any middle-ground zoning. Several Hillsborough County cities have enacted bans while others allow dispensaries with pharmacy-equivalent zoning. Temple Terrace in practice has no operating MMTCs within city limits, with the nearest stores in unincorporated Tampa and the City of Tampa. Any future dispensary would require siting consistent with pharmacy zoning, typically CG (Commercial General) districts along Bullard Parkway or 56th Street.
