Alameda Hemp, CBD, and Cannabis Business Resources
The Alameda Regulatory Ordinance currently limits cannabis businesses within the City of Alameda to one nursery, two medicinal dispensaries, four manufacturing (and distribution) businesses, and two testing labs. Nursery operators are also required to obtain a distribution license.
Retail medicinal dispensaries and their delivery of medicinal cannabis is permitted; However, delivery only licensees from an Alameda location are prohibited.
Delivery from medicinal cannabis dispensaries in the City of Alameda to an address within the City of Alameda is permitted with a permit. Delivery by off-island cannabis businesses is also allowed with a permit. Adult use dispensaries and delivery only licensees from an Alameda location are prohibited.
On April 23, 2018 the City published a Request for Proposals (RFP) in order to allocate this very limited number of permits.
For dispensaries only, before applying for a cannabis business license, a person was required to secure one of the designated slots for a cannabis business awarded through the RFP process to obtain the right to apply (1) first for a land use permit, and (2) then for an operator’s permit.
Testing labs, nursery, and manufacturing permits were to be awarded on a first-come/first serve basis.
One RFP phase was completed in July 2018; a subsequent RFP phase for retail dispensary businesses was completed on April 22, 2019.
The industry standard sensitive use considerations apply. No commercial cannabis activity can occur on publicly owned land. No dispensary or nursery (cultivation) may be located within 1,000 feet of a sensitive use and no other cannabis business may be located within 600 feet of other cannabis businesses. In addition, the dispensaries are required to be separated by a distance of at least one-mile in order to avoid over-concentration.
The City maintains an email list of people interested in receiving City of Alameda cannabis information. To be added to this list, please email your request to lbutler@alamedaca.gov.
