None.
Summary of Request/Referral:
In response to an inquiry as to the application of the10,000 sq. ft. cultivation limit on non-Type 4 CCBLs, MCD and County Counsel researched the genesis of the limitation and determined that an updated procedure was warranted to interpret and implement the Cannabis Cultivation Business License (“CCBL”) density limitations found in MCC §10A.17.070(D).
In summary, the existing CCBL density limitations found within MCC allow a Person, as that term is defined in MCC §10A.17.020, to obtain a maximum of two separate CCBL types on a single parcel without obtaining a Type 4 CCBL, so long as the CCBL types are allowed in the applicable zoning district and all requirements found in the MCC are satisfied. A Person who obtains two separate CCBLs, which are not Type 4s, is not limited to 10,000 sq. ft. of total cannabis cultivation space. A Person in this instance could be allowed a maximum of 20,000 sq. ft. of total cannabis cultivation space.
This interpretation of existing language in the MCC, as has been adopted by the Board of Supervisors, will be distributed to planning staff for implementation effective April 24, 2024.
