The Las Vegas City Council adopted land use regulations for Medical Marijuana Establishments at the May 21 meeting. The regulations require at least one dispensary for each sector of the city (Centennial Hills, Southeast and Southwest). The council also expanded the areas where dispensaries can be located to include commercial districts (C-1 and C-2) as well as industrial districts (C-M and M). Dispensaries will be allowed on Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street east of Eighth Street. Clark County has allocated 12 dispensary licenses to the city of Las Vegas.
At the June 4 meeting, the City Council adopted licensing regulations for medical marijuana establishments. The City Council reduced the surety bond requirement from $500,000 to $250,000. Some of the other regulations include:
• Dispensaries will be allowed to have operation hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Delivery will be permitted to Nevada card holders at residential locations
• If it is determined an inadequate supply of medical marijuana exists, products can be obtained from other parts of Nevada
• Advertising cannot be appealing to minors, and must conform to an approved sign and advertising plan as a condition of the license
• Licenses will be reviewed every two years by City Council
