Cannabis retail near daycare — distance variance

Rio Rancho

Summary

The board let Oasis Cannabis locate about 251.5 feet from a daycare, under the 300-foot rule, because Highway 528 separates the sites. Staff argued property-line measurement is the legal standard, but the board sided with the applicant.
