Sonoma County is trying to update its Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Ordinance.
This enormous ordinance change will affect the entire county and threaten our neighborhoods, environment, and quality of life in Sonoma County.
This new ordinance will:
- Allow up to 65,000+ acres of commercial cannabis in Sonoma County
- Move to a mostly "ministerial" permitting process, whereby the county does not notify neighbors of a permit application, nor are there any public hearings.
- Allow cannabis tourism, tastings, and events.
- Dramatically affect water usage
- And more...
