Commissioners Meeting Minutes of April 27, 2015
Chairman Sullivan stated that by listing marijuana as a separate use, neighbors who are concerned about
other agriculture, would not be able to voice their concern. Ms. Zmolek stated there were three organic
farm owners who spoke at the last Planning Commission meeting and noted that combining marijuana
with other agricultural use, would affect them negatively. The Planning Commission is concerned about
the unintended consequences on existing farms.
Director Smith reviewed the materials to be handed out at the next Planning Commission meeting with
the Board. Commissioner Kler suggested aligning some of the terminology in the materials. Director
Smith agreed that consistency is important and stated that they will update the materials.
Director Smith reviewed the Planning Commission timeline. County Administrator Morley stated that if
the BOCC would like to amend the moratorium before it expires, time would be tight, but it could be
done by June 8, 2015.
