St. Paul City Council unanimously approved a zoning ordinance for cannabis businesses with 300ft school buffer & 24/7 surveillance.

The St. Paul City Council unanimously approved a zoning ordinance for cannabis businesses, requiring them to be at least 300 feet from schools and mandating 24/7 video surveillance. This distance is shorter than the state's maximum of 1,000 feet. The ordinance aims to balance public safety with support for the cannabis industry, with dispensaries expected to open in 2025 following Minnesota's legalization of recreational cannabis in August 2023.
