At their May 25 public meeting, the Missoula County commissioners allowed the withdrawal of the proposal for cannabis zoning in unzoned areas of the county following the governor’s signing of  House Bill 128. HB 128  extends the date for new growing operations to open to July 1, 2025. Staff plan to bring this proposal back closer to that date. ,The proposal would have required a 500-foot separation between dispensaries and energy conservation measures for indoor cannabis cultivation, which are the same regulations that already apply within the zoned areas of the County.

Missoula County Planning, Development and Sustainability was proposing zoning regulations pertaining to cannabis cultivation and dispensaries for unzoned areas of Missoula County.

The proposal would have required a 500-foot separation between dispensaries and energy conservation measures for indoor cannabis cultivation reflecting Missoula County’s goal of 100% clean electricity for the Missoula urban area by 2030. These regulations already apply to zoned areas (shown in red on the map) in Missoula County. The City of Missoula also has its own cannabis-related zoning within city limits.

See the “Important Links” section for links to more information on the already established regulations for zoned portions of the County and read the proposed regulations in the “documents” section.

The Missoula Consolidated Planning Board held a public hearing on this proposal on April 18, 2023, and voted to approve it.
