Wildomar Considers Allowing Marijuana Businesses In The City

WILDOMAR, CA — Since its incorporation on July 1, 2008, the city of Wildomar has prohibited all types of marijuana facilities and commercial cannabis businesses from operating within its borders.

Numerous cannabis operators have defied the ban and tried opening anyway — shuttering these illegal businesses has been costly for Wildomar, according to city documents.

Now the city is considering amending its code to allow some marijuana businesses in. City staff has drafted the framework for regulating commercial cannabis activity in the city, and on May 28 Wildomar City Council will take up the matter during its regularly scheduled meeting set for 6:30 p.m.

See the meeting agenda here.

During the meeting, residents and businesses are encouraged to give their thoughts on the matter via ZOOM video conferencing. (Due to coronavirus, City Council chambers will not be open to the public.) Instructions to join the ZOOM meeting are available in the meeting agenda. Comments can also be emailed before the meeting to Janet Morales, acting city clerk, at jmorales@cityofwildomar.org. Emailed comments will get distributed to city council members.

Anyone wanting to provide comments during the meeting will need to raise their hand virtually on ZOOM to be placed in the queue. Instructions to do this are located on pages 2 and 3 of the meeting agenda.
