§ 22.40.010. Purpose of Chapter.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this Chapter is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, enact strong and effective regulatory and enforcement controls in compliance with State law and federal enforcement guidelines, protect neighborhood character, and minimize potential for negative impacts on people, communities, and the environment in the unincorporated areas of San Luis Obispo County by establishing minimum land use requirements for cannabis activities. Cannabis activity, as defined in Chapter 22.80 of Title 22, includes the cultivation, possession, manufacturing, processing, storing, laboratory testing, labeling, transporting, distribution, delivery, or sale of cannabis or a cannabis product. Therefore, this Chapter recognizes that cannabis activities require land use controls due to the unique federal and State legal constraints on cannabis activity, and the potential environmental and social impacts associated with cannabis activity. These standards cannot be waived or modified through Conditional Use Permit approval, except as specifically noted.
