History of Marijuana Regulation in Longmont

• On April 22, 2025, Longmont City Council considered an ordinance to implement marijuana hospitality licensing, including changes to: Section 9.40.040 LMC to allow smoking indoors; Section 6.70.105 to limit the size to a maximum of 5,000 sq. ft.; and Title 15 updates to the Table of Allowed Uses to codify the allowed zoning districts. The ordinance did not pass first reading and therefore died, leaving the changes necessary for implementation incomplete.
