Victorville, CA Cannabis Regulations: Dispensary Zoning (2026)

Chapter 13.150, Commercial Cannabis Activity, was rewritten in its entirety by Ordinance 2376 in November 2017. Section 13.150.030(a) states the core prohibition: commercial cannabis activity, whether or not for profit, is prohibited in all zones, specific plan areas, and overlay zones of the city, and no person may establish, operate, maintain, conduct, allow, or engage in it anywhere within Victorville, unless exempted by Section 13.150.040. Subsection (b) extends the ban to every activity for which a state license is required under the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), and it bars the city from issuing any permit, license, or entitlement, including to nonprofit entities under Business and Professions Code Section 26070.5.

The chapter's only carve-out is delivery of medicinal cannabis from an out-of-city, MAUCRSA-licensed business into Victorville, permitted under Section 13.150.040 subject to extensive conditions: proof of the delivery business's home-jurisdiction permit and state license, criminal-history screening of drivers, unmarked delivery vehicles, deliveries restricted to qualified patients or caregivers between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., driver age 21 or older, and $1,000,000 general liability, auto liability, and workers' compensation insurance naming the city as additional insured. No physical dispensary storefront, cultivation site, manufacturing facility, distribution hub, or testing lab may lawfully operate anywhere in the city; Section 13.150.040(c) expressly bars any temporary, persistent, or fixed physical presence beyond an active delivery vehicle.

Personal adult-use cultivation of up to six plants is separately allowed indoors in residential zones under Section 13.150.050, but that provision governs personal, non-commercial cultivation, not dispensary siting, and outdoor cultivation remains banned citywide.
