Fortuna to hold first reading of proposed cannabis ordinance

FORTUNA, CA. – Fortuna City Council will hold a first reading of their proposed cannabis ordinance at their upcoming meeting.

It’s been a long process to hash out the details and rules, and council has taken a restrictive stance on the substance – prohibiting all medical and commercial marijuana back in January 2016.

However, with state laws incoming January, the city has been making amendments to prepare for changes, such as the allowance of personal cultivation of up to six plants.

Some of the rules in their ordinance, as they continue to update it include:

– indoor cultivation only – except in kitchens, bedrooms or bathrooms
– limits on grow lights and electrical connections
– requirement of ventilation
– requirement for fire extinguisher in any room used for cultivation
– and, no deliveries of marijuana (Adjusted to allow for medical deliveries)

Council continues to consider the permit fee for personal cultivation.

The meeting begins Monday at 6PM in Fortuna City Hall.
