Background

According to the city's explanatory statement, Estacada currently allows marijuana production, processing, wholesaling and retail businesses as conditional uses, and state law lets a city ban such businesses if the city's voters approve.

The statement says the Estacada City Council adopted a local ban on new marijuana production, processing and wholesaling businesses and referred it to voters for approval.

If approved, existing businesses could continue operating, retailers and dispensaries would not be affected, and the ban would take effect when election results are certified.

Put on the ballot by Estacada City Council (referral date and vote not stated); notice dated August 3, 2026.
