Zoning compliance and regulatory safety permit requirements. <br />Commercial cannabis activities are expressly prohibited in all zones in the City of Santa <br />Ana; however, specific commercial cannabis businesses are permitted in the Light <br />Industrial (M1), Heavy Industrial (M2), and select Specific Development and Professional <br />zoning districts of an industrial nature in areas as specified on the Commercial Cannabis <br />Eligible Areas Map as adopted by resolution of the City Council. The allowed current <br />permit types are described in Table 40-5 and the City of Santa Ana's zoning ordinance <br />as a requisite for obtaining a Regulatory Safety Permit.
