Summary
Clark County confines cannabis cultivation, production, testing, distribution, retail and consumption-lounge uses to specific zoning districts and bars them outright from the Las Vegas Boulevard Gaming Corridor.
This category includes uses that are engaged in the consumption, cultivation, processing, manufacturing, testing, and sale of adult-use cannabis per NRS 678A through 678D... 1,000 feet from a school for pre-school through grade 12 except that cannabis consumption lounges shall maintain a minimum separation of 1,500 feet... The facility shall not be located within the Las Vegas Boulevard Gaming Corridor.
Full Breakdown
Title 30 treats cannabis cultivation, production, testing, distribution, retail sale and consumption lounges as separately regulated commercial uses, most requiring a Special Use Permit rather than by-right approval. Facilities must sit at least 1,000 feet from any pre-K-12 school (1,500 feet for consumption lounges), 300 feet from a community facility, and 1,500 feet from a nonrestricted gaming property, measured lot line to front door. Cultivation and production facilities also need 660 feet of separation from residential adjacency areas. No cannabis facility of any kind may locate within the Las Vegas Boulevard Gaming Corridor, even though most of the Strip itself sits in unincorporated county land.
Violations & Fines
Operating outside an approved zoning district, without a required Special Use Permit, inside a barred separation distance, or anywhere in the Gaming Corridor violates Title 30 and can void the county land-use approval and business license.
