HR County Reaches Consensus On Marijuana Business Ordinance

After three hours of testimony and deliberation, the Hood River County Commission reached consensus on a time, place, and manner ordinance for placement of marijuana businesses.  Most in attendance sought changes in the document that was before the panel, and the Commission made changes in a number of areas.  That included allowing multiple operations within one business on one lot, indoor growing in industrial zones, allowing processing on exclusive farm use lands, and making setbacks 50 feet from the property line and 80 feet from homes.  They left in a prohibition on new marijuana businesses in rural residential zone, with current medical marijuana businesses grandfathered in.  Commissioners will receive the final document for approval on November 21.  They extended a moratorium on marijuana businesses in rural residential zones during the meeting.
