Document Description
The Cannabis Program Update would result in a series of zoning changes that may retain, replace, expand on, or eliminate existing provisions of the current cannabis ordinance. The primary goals of the Cannabis Program Update are to consider the need for expanded or new cannabis land uses within the unincorporated County, further enhance neighborhood compatibility and environmental protections (which could result in restriction or elimination of cannabis land uses), and streamline the cannabis permitting process. The Cannabis Program Update is currently being developed consistent with County Resolution No. 22-0088, “Cannabis Program Update Framework” (Framework).
