Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On May 6, 2025 the Board of Supervisors directed that Planning and Building Services and the Cannabis Department review opportunities and identify limitations related to microbusiness licenses and explore alignment of County processes related to Microbusiness Licenses with State Regulations; and refer these Cannabis Microbusiness License issues to the General Government Committee.                                           

 

Summary of Request/Referral

As directed by the Board of Supervisors, Planning and Building Services and the Cannabis Department has compared the existing local microbusiness license regulations to the State regulations and prepared a memorandum reflecting some of those key differences and highlighting some of the local regulation requirements. The purpose of the item is to discuss opportunities and limitations associated with microbusiness licenses primarily as it relates to alignment with State regulations.  

 

Coming out of the General Government Standing Committee meeting, Planning and Building Services and the Cannabis Department hope to have a list of potential Ordinance Amendments identified that can then be discussed with the full Board of Supervisors.
