Date: March 18, 2025
To: The Honorable E.J. Crandell, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Mireya Turner, Community Development Director
Subject: Consideration of Update on Accomplishments and Conclusion of Cannabis Ordinance Task Force
Executive Summary:
The Board of Supervisors established the positions for the Cannabis Ordinance Task Force (COTF) as an ad hoc committee on June 7, 2022 by motion. As an ad hoc committee, it is understood that the committee would disband when their temporary function is accomplished. The Members were appointed to those positions on July 22, 2022, and have met regularly for more than two years. Community Development Staff has received sufficient input from the Task Force and the Board to draft the Ordinance to establish Article 73 of Chapter 21 of the Lake County Code for cannabis regulation. This draft Ordinance will follow the state mandated process, with future noticed public hearings at both the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meetings. No further COTF meetings are necessary.
The Department extends its appreciation to the COTF members for their dedicated service.
