Commercial Cannabis Cultivation and Manufacturing Regulations and Licensing Program
Document Type
EIR - Draft EIR
Received
Present Land Use
countywide commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential land uses
Document Description
Consistent with state law, the proposed program would regulate commercial cannabis cultivation and cannabis product manufacturing within unincorporated areas of the county. The Program would regulate how, where and how much cannabis and cannabis products may be commercially cultivated and manufactured to provide a reliable and high quality supply, while also protecting the environment and neighborhood quality. The EIR reviews potential environmental impacts of adoption of a new Santa Cruz County Code Chapter 7.128 regarding licensing of commercial cultivation of cannabis, and adoption of a new SCCC Chapter 7.132 regarding licensing of cannabis product manufacturing. Associated county zoning ordinance updates and GPA to support the program would also be adopted.
