Staff memo

Date: October 3, 2017 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Rob Brown, 5th District Supervisor · Subject: Consideration and Discussion of the Need for Development of Standardized Language which would allow Local Disaster Survivors to Reside (or Continue to Reside) in RV's, MHU's (Manufactured Housing Units) Purchased from FEMA, and other Types of Non-Standard Housing for a Time Limited Period EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: During our September 26, 2017 agenda under Public Input, concern was raised about disaster survivors' needs to reside or continue to reside in RV's, MHU's or other types of non-standard housing. Staff has also been contacted by CalOES/FEMA very recently about the apparent barriers to the permitting process experience by disaster survivors who have purchased FEMA MHU's.

I am requesting an opportunity to engage in discussion on this topic with the full Board, to consider solutions and give possible direction to staff. In light of the housing shortage resulting from the wildfire disasters and the time it takes to rebuild, I believe we need to develop standardized language to allow for such non-standard housing for a time limited period. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): None STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion and possible direction to staff.

Staff memo

Date: October 3, 2017 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Robert Massarelli, AICP Prepared by: Mireya G. Turner, Associate Planner

RE: SECOND READING - Consideration of Ordinance Amending Article 72 of the Lake County Code to Allow the Outdoor Cultivation of Medical Cannabis in "RL" Rural Lands and to Create a Certification of Compliance Process for Cannabis Cultivation ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed Ordinance 2. Public Comments During the March 21, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board directed staff to create a self-certification process for residents currently cultivating medical cannabis in conformance the Article 72. Additionally, the Board recommended the addition of the Rural Lands base zoning designation for non-commercial collective cannabis cultivation, which would enable additional parcels to be certified in conformance with the article. Article 72 currently allows for no more than forty-eight (48) mature cannabis plants on "A" Agriculture zoned parcels over twenty (20) acres in size, with established setbacks and other requirements. On May 11, 2017, the Planning Commission adopted a Resolution of Intent to Amend Article 72 of the Chapter 21 of the Lake County Code, regarding cannabis cultivation. They passed a recommendation of approval of those amendments during their May 25, 2017 meeting. The proposed amendments include the following: * Amend certain definitions to reflect the voter-approved commercial cannabis tax * Allow medical collective cultivation in the "RL" Rural Lands zoning district * Create a Certification of Compliance process for Article 72 compliant cannabis cultivation The Board of Supervisors held public hearings on the proposed ordinance on June 27, August 1, September 19 and September 26, 2017, making various amendments. On September 19, 2017, the Board approved the first reading of the proposed ordinance, advancing the item to September 26, 2017. An additional amendment was made on September 26th, resulting in an additional first reading and an advancement of the ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The Rural Lands zoning designation allows for agricultural activity to be a primary or secondary use of a parcel. Staff asserted it is reasonable for the County to assume that the addition of the "RL" base zoning designation for collective cultivation will not have a significant effect on the environment. At the May 25, 2017 meeting, the Planning Commission found that the proposed text amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to �15061(b)(3). ..Recommended Action Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed ordinance.
