• Wildomar Cannabis Ordinance Initial Study-Neg Dec: Planning

Below is from the official email from the city on the commercial cannabis ordinance. There is a link takes you to a 122 page document that includes the proposed ordinance.
===========
The City of Wildomar (City) is the lead agency for the preparation and review of an Initial Study/Negative Declaration (ND) for the proposed Cannabis Ordinance project (ZOA No. 2020-04). 
The cannabis ordinance will establish a regulatory framework for the licensure and operation of cannabis businesses in the City and includes modifications to the text in the City of Wildomar Municipal Code.
A new code section, Chapter 5.76 (Commercial Cannabis Licensing) would be added to the City of Wildomar Municipal Code, and modifications to the existing Title 17 (Zoning) would be made. Cannabis retailers would be allowed with the approval of a conditional use permit within the C-1/C-P (General Commercial), and C-P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial) zones.
Cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and testing laboratories would be allowed with the approval of a conditional use permit in the I-P (Industrial Park and M-SC (Manufacturing-Service Commercial) zones. No cannabis business is allowed to be located within 600 feet of a public/private school, a day care center, youth centers, and parks.
The City is requesting comments for the Cannabis Ordinance project IS/ND. The public comment period for the IS/ND will begin on Thursday, January 30, 2020 and conclude on Friday, February 28, 2020.

  1. The Wildomar Cannabis Ordinance Initial Study-Neg Dec by the Planning department likely represents a preliminary assessment of the potential environmental impacts of a proposed cannabis ordinance in Wildomar. The "Neg Dec" designation suggests that the Planning department has determined there will be no significant adverse effects from the ordinance, based on their initial study. This document is a standard part of the regulatory process for implementing new ordinances and indicates a step towards potentially allowing cannabis-related activities in Wildomar, subject to regulatory approval.
