Dear County Commissioners and Planning Commission
At various BOCC meetings and with each of you individually last year, I explained the rationale and need to amend the County Code regarding marijuana facilities being named as a condition use in Rural Residential Zones in Jefferson
County. During those conversations each of you acknowledged that we raised legitimate issues regarding the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process as currently administered by DCD in regards to marijuana grow and processing
facilities. It’s now time to take action to fix the problem and save the County time and money.
To appropriately serve and protect the quality of life for the citizens of Jefferson County, the BOCC needs to make the revision of the CUP process as it relates to marijuana facilities a priority and place it on this years docket for
revision. Anything less will continue to result in costs (both monetary and personnel time) to the county, wasted energy and funds by potential applicants, utilization of community/citizen resources (which could be better spent
improving community amenities, and creating anti-business publicity/anti-business perception of Jefferson County. Having a process that works is better for business and better for the community. It’s time to fix the “rules”
Sincerely
Ron Rempel
