Press Release

Yolo County is conducting community meetings throughout the county to receive input regarding a zoning ordinance for licensed medical cannabis cultivation in the unincorporated areas of the county. Since first announced, there have been the following revisions to the schedule:

• The meeting previously scheduled to be held in South Davis on November 16 has been postponed. A new date will be announced as soon as it is scheduled.

• The West Davis meeting has been set for December 4 at 6:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Church.

Yolo County allows licensed indoor and outdoor cultivation of medical marijuana in the unincorporated areas of the county in compliance with the county’s Interim Medical Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance. However, the county is now developing modifications to the County’s Zoning Ordinance to require a discretionary Use Permit, the process for which would include noticing of neighbors and a public hearing, prior to approval or renewal of a marijuana cultivator’s license. The ordinance will also establish approved zoning for licensed marijuana cultivation.
