Title
HEARING - Consider recommendations regarding an extension of the Nonmedical Marijuana Interim Urgency Ordinance that the Board of Supervisors adopted on April 4, 2017, as follows: (EST. TIME: 30 MIN.)
a) Receive and file a report that describes the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Nonmedical Marijuana Interim Urgency Ordinance, pursuant to Government Code section 65858(d);
b) Adopt the urgency Ordinance which extends the Nonmedical Marijuana Interim Urgency Ordinance by 22 months and 15 days, thereby extending the temporary moratorium on any activities associated with the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), including the cultivation, distribution, transportation, storage, manufacturing, processing, and selling of nonmedical marijuana, nonmedical marijuana products, and industrial hemp, and on personal outdoor cultivation (Case No. 17ORD-00000-00004);
c) Determine that the Nonmedical Marijuana Interim Urgency Ordinance is not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3) as it has no potential for causing a significant impact on the environment, and 15308 as a regulatory action that will protect the environment; and
d) Direct staff to return to the Board 10 days prior to the expiration of the urgency Ordinance, or at the adoption of a superseding Ordinance, to issue a report that describes the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the extended Nonmedical Marijuana Interim Urgency Ordinance, pursuant to Government Code section 65858(d).
