Under Fla. Stat. 381.986(11), Venice must zone Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC) dispensaries the same as pharmacies. The City cannot ban MMTCs while pharmacies are allowed, but can apply the same buffer rules.
Florida's 2017 MMTC zoning law requires that any city that does not ban MMTCs entirely must treat them as a pharmacy land use. Venice does not have a citywide ban, so MMTCs may locate in any zoning district where a pharmacy could locate, subject to the same 500-foot buffer from public/private schools (the buffer the Florida Legislature optionally permits cities to impose).
Operating an MMTC without state licensure is a state crime under Fla. Stat. 381.986. Local zoning violations are Code offenses under Sec. 1-14 with fines up to $500/day.
