Baumgartner Paz Williamson Act compatible use (outdoor cannabis cultivation)

Description

A request to allow outdoor cannabis cultivation (about 55 acres across two phases, ~6% of a 911-acre preserve) as a compatible use on Williamson Act land; continued to June 23 to check it against the cannabis ordinance.

Impact summary

Would allow cannabis growing on preserved ag land while the rest stays in grazing; final approval also depends on a separate cannabis project permit.
