Oregons Marijuana Laws 845-025-1115). All recreational marijuana facilities (including grows) are prohibited from locating: On federal property; At the same physical location or address as a medical marijuana facility that has maintained its medical registration with the OHA; or At the same physical location or address as a liquor licensee. (OAR 845-025-1230) Recreational marijuana growers are additionally prohibited from locating on public land or on the same tax lot or parcel as another licensed grower under common ownership. (OAR 845-025-1115) In addition to location restrictions, state law and rule places limitations on the number of plants that a medical marijuana grower can grow in residential zones on the size of recreational marijuana grow canopies. Generally, a medical marijuana grow site may have up to 12 mature plants if it is located in a residential zone, and up to 48 mature plants if it is located in any other zone. However, there are exceptions for certain grow sitesthat were in existence and had registered with the state by January 1, 2015. For those grow sites, the number of plants is limited to the number of plants that were at the grow site as of December 31, 2015, aslong as that number does not exceed 24 mature plants per grow site in a residential zone and 96 mature plants per grow site in all other zones. A grower loses the right to claim those exceptions, however, if the grower’s registration is currently suspended or revoked. Those medical limits, however do not apply to grow sites that are converting to recreational grows under the provisions of SB 4014 and are reapplying through the OLCC to become a recreational and medical grow site. Medical Processing Sites and Recreational Processors Processors that produce medical marijuanaextracts may not be located in an area zoned for residential use. The OHA has defined “zoned for residential use” to mean “the only primary use allowed outright in the designated zone is residential.” (OAR 333-008-0010(64)). Processors that make recreational marijuana extracts may not be located in an area zoned exclusively for residential use, and they are also subject to the general location restrictions in the OLCC rules outlined above. Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Under state law, medical marijuana dispensaries may not locate in residential zones, may not be located at the same address as a grow site, and may not be located within 1,000 feet of another dispensary. In addition, dispensaries may not locate within 1,000 feet of a public elementary or secondary school for which attendance is compulsory under ORS 339.020, or a private or parochial Local Government Regulation of Marijuana in Oregon League of Oregon Cities | 13 May 2016 (Third Edition)
