Marijuana Facilities in Sherwood

The Planning Commission and Police Advisory Board are in the process of creating legislation regarding recreational marijuana should the ban be lifted by Sherwood voters after the November 2016 election.  See what has been done so far to the prepare rules. 

The Council wants us to be prepared with recreational marijuana facilities rules in case voters give the OK for allowing these facilities in Sherwood. The ban does not impact medical marijuana dispensaries which are allowed in the industrial zones.

Your opinion matters.  Thank you for your help by letting us know which zones marijuana facilities should be located in.   

For more information on the types of licenses and locations see below.
