Dates Changed For Medicinal Marijuana Hearings

MARIN COUNTY, CA - From Marian County Community Development Agency: After receiving extensive public feedback in the past week, the County of Marin has decided to allow more public review time for its new draft ordinance about medicinal cannabis delivery-only retail business regulations for the unincorporated area of Marin County.

The ordinance, prepared by the Marin County Community Development Agency (CDA), was scheduled to be brought before the Marin County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 26 and for a final hearing on Oct. 10. Instead, the County will conduct a public workshop and hear public comment during the regularly scheduled Oct. 10 Supervisors meeting. The public is invited to comment before the first reading of the ordinance Oct. 31. A final public hearing is set for Nov. 14.

All three meetings before the Board of Supervisors will start at 1:30 p.m. in the Board chamber, Suite 330, 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael.

In addition, a separate Q&A session with CDA staff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 19 in the Board chamber; that is unchanged from a previous notice.

If the ordinance is approved Nov. 14, a license application period would begin.

The public may review the draft ordinance on the County’s website. For more background on the ordinance, see the County’s September 8 news release.
