CALIFORNIA COUNTIES CANNABIS SUMMIT Joseph M. Nicchitta, Countywide Coordinator CALIFORNIA COUNTIES CANNABIS SUMMIT July 19, 2017 SUBTITLE

PINK AREAS = UNINCORPORATED LA COUNTY

COMMERCIAL CANNABIS BUSINESSES ARE CURRENTLY PROHIBITED IN LA COUNTY 2006: LA County adopts ordinance allowing medical cannabis dispensaries with a conditional use permit. No medical cannabis dispensary was ever permitted. 2010-2017: LA County adopts series of ordinances/urgency ordinances prohibiting all medical and “adult-use” commercial cannabis activities. Currently, all commercial cannabis activity is prohibited in unincorporated areas. February 2017: LA County Board establishes the Office of Cannabis Management and directs the preparation of regulations to allow all medical and “adult-use” cannabis business types.

LA COUNTY’S CURRENT APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL CANNABIS REGULATION Board of Supervisors Directs Departments to Prepare Regulations With respect to land use, Board motion directed: No outdoor commercial cultivation cultivation, distribution, and manufacturing in industrial and commercial manufacturing zones All other associated medical and commercial cannabis related enterprises in heavy commercial zones (C-3) or higher Special attention to community plan areas and sensitive uses, as well as avoiding overconcentration and unfair burdens to some communities Emphasis on public engagement.

LA COUNTY’S CURRENT APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL CANNABIS REGULATION What we are asking the public… Before drafting regulations: 18 public listening sessions throughout LA County from July 13 to August 12. Seeking input on the following land use questions: Should the County prohibit cannabis businesses from locating near certain places or “sensitive” land uses, such as schools? If so, why are you concerned about cannabis businesses locating near those places or land uses? Do you think cannabis businesses should be located away from other cannabis businesses? If so, why are you concerned about cannabis businesses locating near each other? Which type of cannabis business (retailer, cultivator, manufacturer, distributer, testing laboratory) most concerns you, if any?

A lot of people are afraid of dispensaries. LA COUNTY’S CURRENT APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL CANNABIS REGULATION What have we noticed… A lot of people are afraid of dispensaries. Frequently proposed buffers: schools, day cares, parks, residences, places of worship, libraries, liquor stores, senior centers, senior housing, drug treatment facilities, group homes, affordable housing developments How far? 2,500 feet to one mile are common responses.

Belief that a ban will make problems go away. LA COUNTY’S CURRENT APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL CANNABIS REGULATION What have we learned… Big difference between a “yes” vote on Proposition 64 and being okay will commercial cannabis in neighborhoods. Fear and apprehension. Belief that a ban will make problems go away. Many concerns stem from perceptions about unlicensed cannabis businesses or belief that business owners are gang members or criminals. More education is needed.
