[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Sacramento County Introducing Medical Marijuana Ordinance for Unincorporated Areas
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Sacramento, CA., -- Sacramento County is bringing an urgency ordinance to the Board of Supervisors on June 21 that will set in place a temporary process for marijuana dispensaries to be permitted and operate in the unincorporated areas within specific conditions.
The Ordinance regulates the cultivation and dispensing of medical marijuana and addresses concerns within unincorporated Sacramento County communities about the proliferation of illegal and unpermitted medical marijuana dispensaries.
"Currently, these dispensaries are operating illegally and we want to provide a method for them to operate under controlled circumstances, and in a way that balances the needs of the communities with the business interests and their customers," said Steve Szalay, Interim County Executive. "We are suggesting an urgency ordinance because of the proliferation of businesses and complaints from communities."
There are approximately 50 illegal dispensaries currently operating within the unincorporated County. Code enforcement has issued numerous notices of violations, and the dispensaries or collectives have been ordered to cease operating.
If approved by the Board of Supervisors, the Interim Urgency Ordinance will become effective immediately, but must be extended within 45 days from adoption with required noticing (legal notifications in the media). The hearing to extend the Ordinance is tentatively scheduled for July 26

[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Informational presentations will be scheduled with the County’s Community Planning Advisory Councils through the summer.

Now the last meeting I can find is in August of 2011 where these issues where discussed. I even called the Board and was told that it's fedrally still illegal but the state has regulated guidlines outlined in prop 215/ SB420. (avoiding my questions). So @ present these conditions have not been implemented yet & still up for debate. Rancho has measure "O" and E.G has already adopted these conditions W/ stricter guide lines & permits trying to set the standerd for placer,eldorado, & surrounding areas.

Anyone w/ up to date info or have a link to it would be much apreciated. Seasons about to start & if we can''t grow outside no more its gonna be F#$%&^ for those who don't know..

Thanks for this post- was looking for this info for quite some time concerning outdoor growing in the county since they started cracking down on the dispensaries within the county.

this link seems to be recently updated( concerning sac county/elk grove growing regulations now) it's the only thing I have been able to come across relating to this. Cracking down on anything "federally" illegal.

also- dec 2011 gets more detailed, I'd expect a updated moratorium by the end of the grow season.

All of the talk in the Sac County area really has been about the dispensaries. The average outdoor grower/patient still isn't something that they have focused on......... yet.

I was a lot more in tune last season with the dispensary being my main source for meds. Now I just take care of myself in my small area. :)

Yea I'm planning a small grow. Because it seems like its the same old song and dance "squeeze the big fish". if we keep it out there face and know the loop holes of grey areas of 215 & sb420 we'll be alright. its going to be @ least 2 years b4 the CSC hears the peck case so @ least till then I'm staying under the radar. Just want to give my fellow growers a heads up & Blessin's for a good season be it outdoor or forced indoor.

I dont understand the reasoning far as banning outdoor but allowing indoor. Outdoor growers are smart enough to keep their grows discreet so neighbors or potential rippers don't see them. And many folks can't afford the cost of indoor.....the equipment and SMUD bills....and many just don't have a suitable area or space indoors.

The odor is being considered a public nuisance to the nieghbors. It's way out but placer is sticking to there guns on that 1 so is elk grove and Rancho. I agree w/ you about discreet and honestly I don't think the bird is going to trip on your outdoor gardens if there small and discreet but if you got enough legal knowledge to stop them @ the door it helps out alot, @ the least study the loop holes so you know how to give them a run for the money

I just noticed the date on the story, it's from last year! Had me scared for a moment. The supes basically dumped that when the banned dispensaries in the county because it's illegal under federal law. Nothing was said about outdoor growing, and the Feds aren't concerned with medical patients growing for their own use. So unless the county enacts something else to address outdoor growing, personal use grows if you have a scrip are fine

It's all a big dick pull w/o a nut. How can you voluntarily compromise your security to have the right to follow constantly changing regulations? I'm glad to see what has changed but not enough to trust in a system unable to iron out rights we received 20 yrs ago. Be legal live like the criminals we are made to be.

Correct. If you live in one of the surrounding or outlying cities you can grow UNLESS the city you live in has adopted a similar ordinance. Sacramento County is complaint driven and will likely bring health and safety code violations as well as building code enforcement if you are caught. Depending on the amount the police can cite if the amount grown exceeds what you should be growing for your condition (officers discression :( ).
