MENDOCINO CO., 9/10/24 — The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted on Tuesday not to alter the current cannabis density allowed in Mendocino County under code section 10A.17.070(D).
The proposal to reinterpret the ordinance, led by a supervisorial advisory committee called the General Government Committee as well as County Counsel, would have changed ordinance 10A.17.070 (D) to increase the allowable size of cannabis cultivation sites in certain zones. If the board had decided to adopt this proposal, a grower could technically double the size of commercial cannabis cultivation on a single parcel.
First District Supervisor Glenn McGourty said during the meeting that many citizens he’s spoken to are against increasing the density of cannabis cultivation sites. “Ninety percent of the constituents I’ve talked to want to keep it at 10,000 square feet,” said Supervisor McGourty. “The overwhelming support is against increasing the size of the grow.”
