Title

Humboldt Cannabis Tours

Case Number: SP 17-004

Assessor Parcel Number: 000-000-000 (County-wide)

 

Humboldt Cannabis Tours is applying for a Special Permit pursuant to Section 311-4 Humboldt County Code for the Planning Director's interpretation of unclear provisions to allow for an agricultural tourism operation that will tour existing and compliant cannabis businesses, as well as traditional tour destinations.  Example destinations are cannabis farms, concentrate manufactures, retail outlets, breweries, the redwoods, and local beaches.  Tour destinations will include those within the incorporated cities but the permit will apply only to the unincorporated areas of the county.  The applicant will obtain a County business license (either a home occupation or address of convenience), and State Transportation Charter Party license from the Public Utilities Commission.  Vehicles for tour transport will be stored at a location approved for commercial vehicle storage.  The business's administrative functions will be run out of the applicant's home office located in his residence.  Employees and customers will not visit or meet at the home office of the applicant.  Tour destinations in the unincorporated areas shall meet performance standards for access, parking, ADA compliance, and sanitation whereby the use could be considered an accessory and appurtenant to principal use.

Recommendation

Move to make all of the required findings for approval of the Special Permit based on evidence in the staff report and any public testimony, and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Humboldt Cannabis Tours  project subject to the conditions of approval.
