Supervisors to consider extending marijuana dispensaries moratorium

LAKEPORT – When it meets on Tuesday the Board of Supervisors will consider extending a temporary moratorium on the opening of new medical marijuana dispensaries.


The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. TV Channel 8 will broadcast the meeting live.


The agenda can be downloaded at www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/BOS_Agendas.htm .


The discussion on extending the interim urgency ordinance – adopted in September – to prohibit the establishment of new medical marijuana dispensaries and enforcement actions against existing medical marijuana dispensaries in the county will take place at 10 a.m. Tuesday.


The board adopted the ordinance in response to a growing number of dispensaries and collectives opening around the county since spring, when the county began discussing how to account for the establishments under the current zoning ordinance.


Last week Community Development Director Rick Coel reported to the board that the 45-day urgency ordinance will run out on Oct. 30, and that the law allows for it to be extended for 10 months and 15 days if it can be proved that there's a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare, as Lake County News has reported.


County staff is requesting that the ordinance be extended as they continue working on a draft ordinance on zoning dispensaries and collectives that's expected to be completed within the next few months.


Other items on the agenda include the following.
