Wasco County Commissioners Approve Marijuana Regulations

In a unanimous vote, Wasco County Commissioners adopted amendments to the County land use ordinance to regulate the time, manner, and place of marijuana production and processing operations in the County.  The panel adopted the recommendation of the County Planning Commission, allowing growing and processing in farm zones…and growing but no processing in forest zones, which accounts for nearly all of the lands in unincorporated areas of Wasco County.  Commissioners had considered for a time sending a measure to County voters that would allow them to opt out of allowing marijuana business to take place in the County, as state voters approved in November 2014.  But Commission Chair Rod Runyon says as they continued to consider the matter, he started to doubt voters would decide to opt out.  Runyon noted a petition to put an opt-out measure on the ballot can still come from the citizens.
