Lakeport Planning Commission holds special Sept. 20 meeting on marijuana rules
The commission will meet beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
City officials said the meeting will focus on a review of possible amendments to the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance in order to develop procedures for the allowance of commercial marijuana, or cannabis, uses within the city of Lakeport.
The city’s goal is to reflect the changes in state law that have come about through the voter-approved Proposition 64, which legalized the personal use of marijuana, as well as laws passed by the State Legislature.
The commission’s meeting also will include a discussion on that recent legislation; potential use permit standards for uses including cultivation, manufacturing, testing and retail delivery; and appropriate zoning districts for those various uses, which staff is recommending should include service commercial and industrial zoning.
Also on the agenda will be a report from staff on projects pending Lakeport Planning Department approval.
