Valley Farms cannabis dispensary relocation (CCP 2025-004 / amendment to CCP 2024-009)
Salinas
Description
The dispensary wanted to move from Moffett Street to a Northridge Plaza shopping center space near North Main and Boronda Road. The site measured 995 feet from a school — 5 feet inside the city's 1,000-foot buffer — so the council upheld the denial.
Impact summary
The City Council denied it on Aug 4, 2026.
The dispensary stays closed and the North Main Street site near the mall and apartments remains cannabis-free. The council signaled it may revisit how the city handles cannabis relocations after the process breakdown.
