BOULDER — Medical marijuana dispensaries and growing operations that want to do business in rural Boulder County will now be restricted to a relatively small area where industrial and retail uses are already allowed.
The county commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday morning to approve a new set of land use rules for “medical marijuana centers” that limit the operations to districts in the unincorporated county that are zoned for business, transitional, commercial, light industrial and general industrial uses.
The regulations will also ban medical marijuana centers from operating within 1000 feet of educational facilities — including daycare centers and schools with children younger than college age — and drug and alcohol treatment centers. The centers are also prohibited from being within 500 feet of each other, except in industrial zoning districts.
