Home MenuAdult-Use Cannabis Zoning Ordinance
On August 1, 2022 the City of New Haven Board of Alders approved an amendment to the New Haven Zoning Ordinance to establish criteria for permitting Adult-Use Cannabis Establishments.
This Ordinance is consistent with the Connecticut Responsible and Equitable Regulation of Adult Use Cannabis Act of 2021 and creates a new Section 42.6 of the New Haven Zoning Ordinance to address and align zoning provisions with state law and licensing procedures.
The amendments are intended to ensure the sale, production or manufacturing of Adult-Use Cannabis occurs within certain business and industrial zoning districts with a special permit. The Cannabis Permitted Locations Lookup Tool* can be found here.
