Summary of Request

A Rezone to add a Cannabis Accommodation (CA) Combining District over fourteen (14) separate parcels (APNs: 160-150-11, 160-150-22, 160-150-39, 160-150-40, 160-190-12, 160-190-13, 160-190-14, 160-200-27, 160-200-32, 160-200-33, 160-200-34, 160-200-35, 160-200-36 and 160-200-37) totaling 27.03± acres to provide greater flexibility in development standards related to cannabis activities for existing commercial cannabis cultivation sites and suspend the ‘Sunset Provision for Residential Districts’ to facilitate continued operation. The Planning Commission, at their August 6, 2020 meeting, was not able to make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding the project or the adoption of an addendum to the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Planning Commission voted to send the rezoning (R_2019-0009) to the Board of Supervisors without a recommendation.

 

The Board of Supervisors held a noticed public hearing regarding this project on November 3, 2020, as summarized above. Staff has prepared a tentative motion for denial, as directed by the Board.
