Dear Planning Commissioners,
I want to thank you for again reviewing the current county code allowing recreational marijuana
facilities in Rural Residential areas of Jefferson
County.
You now have the study provided by the DCD staff for you to consider and weigh in making your
decision. It is very gratifying to realize after 4.5 years of
effort that the voices of the people you represent were heard. After considered study and time to
assess the impacts of growing and processing marijuana
the DCD has decided to recommend not only prohibitng such operations in Rural Residential zones
but also Forest Resource lands. I applaud their
reasoned decision, their willingness to look at the facts, and their patience in listening to the
concerns of their citizens.
With the above in mind I ask you also to come to the conclusion that a revision of the code allowing
marijuana processing and grow operations in Rural Residential
zones be undertaken and the will of the majority and common sense shape that policy going
forward.
As always, I am extremely grateful for the time and sacrifice you continue to give for the benefit of
our beautiful county and for those of us who have the privilege
of living here.
With Respect,
John Gonnella
