September 12, 2023 Cannabis Study Session Results
As a result of litigation El Dorado County Growers Advocacy Alliance v. El Dorado County Board of Supervisors (BOS), the BOS held a study session at the 9/12/23 meeting.
The results are that the Board directed staff to bring back a Resolution of Intention to change the operational concerns that were brought up during the study session, such as the tax structure, tax rate, aligning the annual permit with the start of operations, only requiring changed application materials for renewal, and allowing multi-year permits.
Additionally, the BOS did not have enough data to make decisions regarding changes to setbacks, canopy size, propagation and lighting, and allowing nonvolatile manufacturing. Those items were sent to the Planning Commission to provide data and recommendations on those issues.
During the study session I raised concerns about reducing the setbacks that were approved by the voters in 2018. There is not conclusive evidence showing that reduced setbacks will not create a nuisance for the neighbors. I do remember the testimony in 2017 from families stating that they could not enjoy their yard or open their windows because the odor was overwhelming from the grows.
During the study session it was mentioned many times that other counties have less restrictive regulations regarding cannabis grows and dispensaries. However, there is not clarity on what the impacts are to residents in those counties. The State of California has an interactive map to show which counties and cities have legalized cultivation and dispensing of cannabis: https://cannabis.ca.gov/cannabis-laws/where-cannabis-businesses-are-allowed/ After the study session an article was sent to my office regarding the conflicts in Santa Barbara County between cannabis and grape growers: https://www.sfgate.com/cannabis/article/santa-barbara-wine-industry-vs-cannabis-18365066.php. More articles will likely be gathered as the process for the Cannabis Ordinance update unfolds.
Please participate in upcoming meetings and make your voice heard. My office will share meeting and workshop information in our newsletter when it becomes available.
