County Of Sonoma Seeks Public Input On Cannabis Ordinance
Balancing Growth and Responsibility: Sonoma County's Cannabis Land Use Regulations.
Sonoma County Seeks Feedback on Proposed Cannabis Ordinance Changes for Neighborhood Compatibility and Environmental Stewardship.
How should cannabis land use be regulated in Sonoma County? County officials are seeking feedback on proposed policy changes to the Sonoma County Cannabis Ordinance. Specifically, they want input on neighborhood compatibility and environmental stewardship before the project moves forward to the environmental impact report process.
The proposed ordinance would allow most cannabis operations to be permitted by right, and not subject to review, in areas zoned as industrial and commercial. Among other things, the ordinance would also eliminate term limits and permit renewals, apply land-use regulations uniformly to medical and adult-use cannabis, and allow on-site retail consumption, subject to relevant health ordinances.
