Cannabis Ordinance Update

Based upon the tremendous amount of constructive public input during the four public workshops, to include comments received via electronic methods, Trinity County is announcing a new timetable for the overall Cannabis Ordinance Update. 

 

The county is grateful for all the input received to date and a strong message was a desire for future opportunities to provide input to the next ordinance update draft (version 2) – before it goes to the Planning Commission.  Embedded within the overall Cannabis Ordinance Update is a county obligation to introduce for Board of Supervisor consideration, changes associated with stacking certain license types.  In order to balance the existing county obligation related to stacking and the desire to provide more opportunities for public engagement on the overall Cannabis Ordinance Update, the county has decided to introduce an amendment to the existing cannabis ordinance to address this obligation. 

 

The county will work an ordinance amendment to address the county obligation relating to stacking, based upon the following tentative timeline:

 

Draft document available to public:  approximately Nov 3, 2023

PC Meeting:  Nov 16, 2023

BOS hearing/mtg:  Dec 5, 2023
