Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Right to Farm Ordinance, as follows:
a) Make the required findings for approval of amendments to the Right to Farm Ordinance, including California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings;
b) Consider the adoption (Second Reading) of an Ordinance (Case No. 18ORD-00000-00008) of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara amending Section 3-23 of the Santa Barbara County Code, the Right to Farm Ordinance, to address cannabis;
c) Determine for the purposes of CEQA that:
i) Approval of the amendment to Farm Ordinance (Case Nos. 17ORD-00000-00019 and 18ORD-00000-00008) is within the scope of the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance and Licensing Program, and the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance and Licensing Program Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) [Case No. 17EIR-00000-00003, State Clearinghouse No. 2017071016] adequately describes this activity for the purposes of CEQA; and
ii) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a), after considering the PEIR certified by the Board of Supervisors on February 6, 2018, that no subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is required because: i) no substantial changes are proposed which require major revisions of the PEIR; ii) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Ordinance is undertaken which require major revisions of the PEIR; and iii) no new information of substantial importance concerning the Ordinance’s significant effects or mitigation measures, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time that the PEIR was certified, has been received.
