MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: ANITA L. GRANT, County Counsel
DATE: March 26, 2019
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Possible Limited Moratorium Relating to the Acceptance of Pre-applications and Applications for Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Use Permits to Allow for the Expeditious Processing of Applications Already Submitted and to Allow for Review of Possible Changes to the Zoning Ordinance to more Efficiently Coordinate the Processing of Such Permits
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As requested at your Board’s meeting of March 19, the attached rough draft is presented for discussion and consideration. Subsequent to a meeting with the Community Development Director, this draft attempts to limit the acceptance and processing of pre-applications and applications for use permits for commercial cannabis cultivation to those already received by that department at the time the urgency ordinance is adopted, but to also allow a limited number of such applications to continue to be submitted each month.
This approach may allow the County both to efficiently process those pre-applications and applications already submitted and to consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to more effectively coordinate the process of such applications in the future.
