Last summer, the city of Lompoc issued its first commercial cannabis license. The license enables the holder to have a retail store, smoke lounge, onsite use and delivery. The city has created its own link from its webpage to deal with applications and zoning questions.
Lompoc has not capped the number of recreational or medical cannabis it will allow to operate in the city limits, although zoning laws apply for applicants wishing to open businesses.
The council also voted to allow commercial cannabis testing businesses to operate within the industrial zone.
