At the April 6, 2022, regular meeting, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5064 related to including certain cannabis use licenses and regulations in the Grand Junction Municipal Code (GJMC), and Ordinance No. 5065, which articulates the uses of the special sales and use tax and excise tax of 6 percent from the City’s regular sales tax collection of 3.25 percent. The total number of stores allowed in city limits will be capped at a maximum of ten (10).
On May 4, City Council will consider a third ordinance related to cannabis business licensing land use regulations including use standards, buffering, and signage requirements following a recommendation made by the City Planning Commission at the April 12 regular meeting.
The City will begin accepting cannabis business applications in mid-May. Additional cannabis information, including FAQs, can be found on the City’s Cannabis Business Regulation webpage.
