Cannabis Committee Continues to Seek Consensus on Licensing Process

Jim Coffis

The Santa Cruz County Cannabis Cultivation Choices Committee (SCCC4) meets for their 10th time Tues 9am at the Simpkins Center.  While they’ve yet to make any recommendations - the 13 members  have come to a couple of unanimous decisions including pursuing some kind of licensing scheme and signalling they are against plant counts in favor of canopy size or sq footage as a measure.- they are getting closer to crafting specific recommendations around the kinds of restrictions that should be enforced to protect neighborhoods and the environment.  

They will continue to discuss those issues and others like who can get a license and how that process might work.

They’ll also hear about a public meeting held Friday in  Bonny Doon.

The Board of Supervisors has asked for recommendations from the group as well as from County staff to be presented at their December 8th meeting

Note: There will be a public meeting in Ben Lomond Wed night 6pm at the Highlands Park Senior Center to learn more about the new state law and the progress of the C4
