LAKEPORT >> Lakeport’s City Council and Planning Commission will hold a joint workshop to review possible amendments to the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance (LMC, Chapter 17) on October 3 at 5 p.m. The workshop covers the development of procedures for the allowance of commercial cannabis uses within the City of Lakeport.
The changes would reflect state regulations associated with the recently approved Proposition 64 that legalized the personal use of cannabis (Marijuana) in the State of California and other recent legislative changes concerning cannabis over the past couple of years.
At that meeting, the City Council and Planning Commission will discuss:
• Discussion of recently approved legislation concerning commercial cannabis,
including Prop 64 and SB 94.
• Reviewing and developing standards for commercial cannabis uses including:
cultivation, manufacturing, testing, retail, etc.
• Appropriate zoning districts for the allowance of commercial cannabis uses.
• Consideration of potential fees and taxes related to associated commercial
cannabis uses.
The public is encouraged to attend and participate. Following the workshop City staff
will develop a draft ordinance for the regulations of commercial cannabis to be
considered for adoption. For further information on potential commercial cannabis
regulations please visit the City of Lakeport’s website or utilize the link below:
