SLO County’s Coast Targeted For Potential Brick-And-Mortar Cannabis Dispensaries
“We don’t need to go balls-out”
SLO County’s unincorporated coastal towns are more likely to see retail cannabis dispensaries before its inland areas do thanks to what 4th District Supervisor Jimmy Paulding called the historical “go slow approach in SLO County.”
Currently, the county allows for cannabis cultivation and delivery. But that could change after a November Board of Supervisors meeting, where the board opted 3-2 to direct staff to develop a way to revise the coastal zone land use ordinance to allow for storefront retail dispensaries in the coastal zone.
According to 3rd District Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg, the county needs to be delicate with this first step toward establishing brick-and-mortar cannabis stores.
“We don’t need to go balls-out like Santa Barbara [County] did or something, but we want to bite it piece by piece,” she said during the Nov. 12 meeting.
