Proposed Sutter Creek Cannabis Dispensary
Summary
Sutter Creek is considering the county's first THC marijuana dispensary at the vacant club bank building on Ridge Road, near two high schools and the Valley View Commons housing. The county must comment on mitigation by May 29; supervisors heard hours of testimony on youth access, impaired driving, and impacts to social services, public health, and the Sheriff's Office before opposing the project.

Impact analysis
The city could collect 8-9% in added sales tax on projected $2-6 million in sales, while the county would bear the service costs with no revenue.
Currently no one locally — the dispensary would benefit its operators and the city's budget if approved.
Opponents say youth, foster children, and county health, safety, and social services budgets would bear the costs.
