This includes rural residential, ag, and rangeland zoning districts – tens of thousands of acres of the County – though there are some added restrictions on the rangeland areas.
If qualified, such referenda would then go to the BOS which can either adopt one or both of them OR can schedule a special election to be brought to the voters.
The two groups call themselves “Small is Beautiful” to repeal just the 10 percent provision; and “The People’s Referendum to Save our Water, Wildlife & Way of Life” to repeal the whole ordinance.
The ‘total repeal’ group feels that an EIR is essential to understanding the impacts before any major expansion of cannabis grows, in acreage and through new permits in rural zoning districts where it is currently prohibited.
This would stop all expansion until & unless we know the consequences and enforce the rules! I believe rejecting the BOS phase 3 ordinance is the appropriate remedy.
