Oregon City Regulations

All marijuana businesses shall comply with OCMC 17.54.110 (Ord. Number 16-1008). Please refer to OCMC 17.04 for business type definitions. Additional restrictions may apply. These regulations took effect on December 31, 2016.

Pursuant to State Law, cities may impose reasonable regulations on the following:

• The hours of operation of retail licensees and medical marijuana grow sites, processing sites and dispensaries;
• The location of all four types of recreational licensees, as well as medical marijuana grow sites, processing sites and dispensaries, except that a city may not impose more than a 1,000-foot buffer between retail licensees;
• The manner of operation of all four types of recreational licensees, as well as medical marijuana processors and dispensaries; and
• The public's access to the premises of all four types of recreational licenses, as well as medical marijuana grow sites, processing sites and dispensaries.

The law also provides that time, place and manner regulations imposed on recreational licensees must be consistent with city and county comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and public health and safety laws, which would be true of any ordinance imposed by a city.
