Distance requirements

Buffer and setback rules

UnverifiedNot verified — contact us to confirm current status

The state adult-use rule separately requires 1,000 feet from a pre-existing school, measured parcel line to parcel line, unless the municipality has adopted an ordinance reducing it. Local ordinances sometimes measure door to door instead — measure both ways before you commit. See how the buffer is measured.

Operating hours, permitted districts, co-location, insurance minimums, municipal fee caps and community-benefit conditions are local ordinance terms, not state licensing conditions. They are amended more often than setbacks and they move unit economics — confirm the current text before signing.

Market read

Center Line commercial real estate context

Center Line has roughly 8,000 residents and 10 licensed retailers and microbusinesses — one of the highest per-capita retail densities in Michigan. The Van Dyke corridor works because the customer base is regional, not local: the city is a one-square-mile island inside Warren, and the stores draw from the surrounding Macomb County population rather than from Center Line itself. Underwrite that honestly. Rents on Van Dyke reflect cannabis demand, competition is immediate and visible, and if the statewide one-per-10,000-residents cap bill passes, Center Line freezes on the spot — which makes an existing operating location here scarcer, not cheaper.
