Westland opted in to allow a limited number of adult-use marijuana retail and related establishments under MRTMA, restricted to specific commercial and industrial zones with buffer requirements from sensitive uses.
The City of Westland adopted a local ordinance under MRTMA Section 9 to authorize a capped number of adult-use marihuana establishments, including retailers, processors, growers, secure transporters, and safety compliance facilities. Permitted locations are limited to designated commercial and industrial zoning districts and require buffer setbacks from schools, public parks, religious institutions, and residential zones (commonly 1,000 feet for schools). Operators must hold a state Cannabis Regulatory Agency license, obtain a Westland local permit through a competitive application or scoring process, pass a background check, comply with security, lighting, ventilation, and odor-control standards, and pay annual local fees of up to 5,000 dollars per the statutory cap. On-site consumption lounges require a separate license type. Home-occupation marijuana businesses are prohibited.
