This is a press release from the County of Humboldt:

Humboldt County Seal 2017 featureOn Thursday beginning at 6:00 pm, or as soon thereafter as possible, the Humboldt County Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing to consider making a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on the county’s Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (CCLUO)  and Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the proposed ordinance.

  • Providing for a greater diversity of areas where cannabis cultivation will be allowed to expand or occur
  • Developing performance standards for controlling odor impacts from cultivation
  • Special requirements/limitations for projects located within spheres of influence or community areas

Without the cole memo protection for following state and local laws . Any attorney advising clients to go forward with a business plan is engaged in malpractice in my opinion. A legal malpractice action, however, is not likely to succeed if the lawyer committed an error because an issue of law was unsettled or debatable.

Afterwards can the county have a free bbq and offer a symbolic “key to the county” to anyone who wants to come and blow up a scene in our upslope watersheds? Perhaps they can tack on a property tax break to this ordinance to entice the best and brightest from other states to try their luck. We clearly need more incentives for attracting growers.

Lol, they want to take more money from more applications that won’t be approved.Not surprising they decided to make one last quick cash grab before sessions starts busting everyone that signed those papers admitting to a federal felony.For those that went legal it was a bad move as of now, why would more people rush in to admit guilt in the face of upcoming federal invation ?BTW do you really think the state is going to approve the permits knowing the feds view on this just went back to what it had been?

The CHANGES they NEED to make are the tax and fee rates they are charging people who are trying to do the right thing. Those rates were set when pot as selling for at least 50% more than it is now. They should make the tax rates float, tied to the price the farmer can sell his crops for.
THEY ARE KILLING THE GEESE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGGS in Humboldt county!!
