Amendment to Riverside County Ordinance No. 348, To Allow Medical Marijuana Cooperatives in the C-O Zone (Commercial-Office)
Amending Ordinance No. 348 to allow medical marijuana cooperatives in the C-O Zone (Commercial-Office) with a conditional use permit. Ordinance No. 348.4403, the proposed amendment, would establish minimum development standards for medical marijuana cooperatives within unincorporated Riverside County. These standards are designed to provide appropriate development of medical marijuana cooperatives pursuant to the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5) and Senate Bill 420 (2003) (Health and Safety Code Sections 11362.7-11632.9). As stated therein, the purposes of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 are in part to ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person’s health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief and to ensure that patients and their primary caregivers who obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes upon the recommendation of a physician are not subject to criminal prosecution or sanction. The Riverside County Planning Department has determined that Ordinance No. 348.4403 is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
