The Redding City Council has approved zoning that limits cultivation to 100 square feet of plant canopy per qualified patient, with exceptions for medical need. The council voted 4-1 on Tuesday, according to this Record-Searchlight article, with Mayor Patrick Jones the lone dissenter.
Indoor gardens can take up no more than 10 percent of a home and outdoor gardens must not be visible from the street under the ordinance, which the Planning Commission recommended for council approval Dec. 8 after conducting three public hearings.
The council also approved zoning that would limit new medicinal cannabis clubs to heavy commercial areas, mainly along Airport Road and South Market Street, the Record-Searchlight reported.
Redding late last year adopted regulations for cannabis clubs that go into effect this month. Medical marijuana patient advocates speaking Tuesday called the regulations too restrictive under Prop. 215, the voter-approved Compassionate Use Act. Some threatened litigation.
