At 11 a.m., the board will consider an ordinance adding Article 73 to Chapter 21 of the Lake Zoning Ordinance to address commercial cannabis permitting activities and enforcement.
Community Development Director Mary Darby’s memo to the board explains, “Cannabis projects are becoming more controversial in our communities. The growing number of acres already approved, illegal cannabis grows, drought concerns, and the proximity to communities has aided in increasing public participation in questioning these projects.”
She said the Community Development Department will present proposed changes to the revised commercial cannabis ordinance at the meeting and follow up with scheduled interactive cannabis workshops with the cannabis industry and the general public on May 25 and 26 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the supervisors’ chambers.
In an untimed item, the board will consider awarding a bid for $1,117,449.60 the Middletown Multiuse Path Project to Argonaut Constructors of Santa Rosa.
Public Works Director Scott De Leon’s report to the board said the project is to construct a Class 1 multiuse path along Highway 29 from the intersection of Rancheria Road to the intersection of Central Park Road.
Argonaut’s was the lowest of five bids submitted to the county, said De Leon.
He said the project is fully funded through the Active Transportation Program and Public Works road funds.
