History

Medical Marijuana: In November 2014, Federal Heights residents voted to permit the operation of regulated medical marijuana centers (dispensaries) within the City. City Council approved a total of four locations in the City.

Retail Marijuana: In November 2016, Federal Heights residents voted to permit the operation of regulated retail marijuana stores within the City. City Council adopted an ordinance in January, 2017 that defines retail marijuana as marijuana that is cultivated, manufactured, distributed, or sold by a licensed retail marijuana establishment. The ordinance established that the maximum total number of licensed retail marijuana stores and medical marijuana centers in the City shall not exceed five, though a co-located retail marijuana store and medical marijuana center shall count as one establishment.
