Humboldt County CA : Public Hearing on Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance

On Thursday beginning at 6:00 pm, or as soon thereafter as possible, the Humboldt County Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing to consider making a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on the county's Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (CCLUO) and Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the proposed ordinance.

A sampling of the principal changes to County code being considered in the ordinance include:

• Repeal of the current permit application deadline (12/31/16) to allow for submittal of applications for commercial cannabis activities, including cultivation
• Broadening the scope of the current regulations to encompass commercial cannabis activities for recreational users authorized under the recent passage of the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA)
• Providing for a greater diversity of areas where cannabis cultivation will be allowed to expand or occur
• Developing performance standards for controlling odor impacts from cultivation
• Special requirements/limitations for projects located within spheres of influence or community areas
