Klickitat County Adopts Marijuana Moratorium Again

Klickitat County Commissioners have adopted for a second time a moratorium on marijuana production, processing, and retail sales in unincorporated areas of the County.  A moratorium adopted a year ago had lapsed, but Commissioners say marijuana facilities are being proposed for locations within the County that may be incompatible with surrounding uses.  They also contend since the Washington Liquor Control Board licenses marijuana facilities without written notice to individual owners of properties that surround proposed site, landowners who are most affected may not be aware of the new use until the marijuana facility is operating.  Commissioners are also concerned about a proposal to raise the total square footage of marijuana production operations from a statewide total maximum of 2 million square feet to 8.5 million square feet, which could result in expansion of current facilities and a new round of applications.  Commissioners plan a public hearing on the issue at 6:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Klickitat PUD meeting room in Goldendale.
