MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2015

Contract Letter for Carnival Events and Services at the Annual County
Fair.

2. Discussion of MOU with Deschutes Public Library for Law Library
Services.
Erik Kropp gave an overview of the item, how the Law Library is funded and.
the benefits of having this service at Deschutes Public Library.
He spoke about the proposal, which will allow an expansion of hours to the
public, and an expansion of books available digitally. The Law Library is
staffed with a .5 FTE librarian, and attorneys can access other hours through a
key service. The public library allows for about 39 hours per week, and they
will assign a lead librarian for this service who has suitable qualifications. The
previous law librarian has retired.
Todd Dunkelberg, Library Director, stated the most exciting piece is the
expanded access to the public from facilities that are located throughout the
county. This allows them to expand on the legal document subscriptions. The
goal is to have the librarian train others on how to use this information.
Mr. Kropp stated that Columbia County experienced a recent flood and may be
able to use some of the books that are not needed with this change. David
Doyle said that most law offices do not have volume of books anymore, with
most of their research being done electronically.
Commissioner Unger asked if this service is geared towards attorneys or the
h it is to be available to both, but
public. Mr. Dunkelberg stated that is o this change
will make it friendlier to the general public. They can book a librarian as well,
who can help individuals with specific research one-on-one. However, they
cannot provide legal advice,just some guidance with the research.
Mr. Kropp said this is State funded, so if funding was jeopardized in the future,
the County would work with the Library to make this equitable.
UNGER: Move approval.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Yes.
DEBONE: Chair vote yes.

3. Work Session regarding HB 3400 (Marijuana Businesses).
Nick Lelack referred to a memorandum and backup on the permissible uses in
relation to zoning, and whether and how to allow this in certain zones. If uses
are allowed, they need to look at the time, place, and manner of use. Staff
needs to know the schedule moving forward.
The key is to have Planning Commission meetings, and they need a 35-day
meeting notice and some content for them to address. An aggressive but
realistic timefrarne is necessary.
They are looking at the big picture, with other smaller issues, such as home
occupations that are not addressed by the law, as the County may have some
discretion.
Chair DeBone said that generally, rural neighborhood conflicts are a key issue.
He wants to know what is too narrow for the law. The question is when they
will have something for the public. Mr. Lelack said they need it by about the
end of next week. He stated that Columbia and Clackamas counties are
working on their draft legislation, but those are not yet adopted.
Commissioners Baney said there are some things they might want the Planning
Commission to examine. She could not glean from the other counties'
documents if they are opting out of some of this. Mr., Martin said he has not
evaluated their documents. Commissioner Baney asked if the general public
understands what has been opted out and what has not. Mr. Martin noted that
they will have to make it clear to all and carry it forward. Mr. Lelack added
that they could choose not to opt out if something is already not allowed in
some zones, like retail sales. Commissioner Baney noted that they do not want
to bring undue restrictions, but it has to make sense.
Chair DeBone asked about the emergency adoption. Mr. Lelack said that they
cannot do anything until it is effective. Having to wait would make it very
difficult. Mr. Doyle said that it should be by emergency or they would end up
with a 90-day period where things are in limbo, with the OLCC and others. Mr.
Doyle stated that most jurisdictions routinely adopt by emergency so appeals
can begin on a timely basis.

The group referred to page 3, when OLCC will begin accepting license
applications. Mr. Martin said the tables identify the uses today, outright or
conditionally. Those that are not permitted today were removed. Mr. Lelack
stated they did not list home occupations.
Commissioner Unger asked what the State requires them to permit. Mr. Martin
said that HB 3400 recognizes this as an outright farm use. Commissioner
Baney stated that the LUCS is where they can provide guidance on others. Mr.
Martin said the same applies for processing, Commissioner Unger stated that
there could be some dangerous situations with processing. Mr. Martin indicated
they could allow baling but not the use of chemicals. Processing could include
everything from packaging for retail to extracting and making edibles.
Commissioner Baney likes how Washington County differentiated this. She
asked if the State has clarified step 1 from other steps, to mitigate the fire
danger and other hazards. Mr. Martin noted that the OLCC has not drafted
rulemaking, but they are differentiating the more benign from the more volatile
or commercial activities.
Commissioner Unger asked for clarification on tiers 1, 2 and 3 for Cowlitz
County. Mr. Martin said this has to do with the density of production and the
size of the footprint of the grow operation —basically the canopy at maturity.
Hunter Neibauer, citizen, was asked, and replied that it would be the footprint
of the plants. He is on the OLCC rulemaking advisory committee.
Mr. Martin said that he did further research, and regulations of medical
marijuana can be considered as well. Exiting facilities for that would be
grandfathered in either case.
Commissioner Baney said that people are not currently differentiating, so it
would add clarity to treat them the same. Commissioner Unger noted that there
are licenses for medical growers and he would like to see the State have these
rules conform to others. Commissioner Baney said that the bad actors at this
point make it harder on the others. There was no LUCS or land use review
under the Oregon Health Authority.
The question is whether to not opt out of EFU or rural industrial. Others would
be permitted uses. Commissioner Baney would like to keep this in EFU with
others needing a conditional use permit.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, September 21, 2015
Page 4 of 10 Pages
Mr. Lelack said that forest use is permitted with 10 acres or more, with a CUP
for under that, and not allowed on five acres or less. They can consider criteria
for greenhouse structures as well.
Commissioner Baney asked if the resources on a surface mining location are
exhausted, could the people rezone it. Open space or a conservation easement
does not fit.
Chair DeBone said that he likes the five or 10-acre minimum concept. Mr.
Lelack said this is possible. It could be permitted on 10 acres or larger and not
under that. Or they would need a CUP needed for less.
Commissioner Baney stated that she does not want to see this allowed on
parcels less than five acres. Chair DeBone and Commissioner Unger agreed. It
was decided that this would be a recommendation to the Planning Commission,
who will then hear about the challenges.
Commissioner Baney noted that this would help with buffering. She wants to
see a LUCS for the medical marijuana component when possible. The other
Commissioners agreed.
Regarding rural industrial, this involves Deschutes Junction and a couple of
other locations. Commissioner Baney does not want to see any grow within
1,000 feet of a school. The others agreed.
Mr. Martin stated that in Sunriver and other zones, production is not permitted
since it is not EFU land. Rural Commercial, Service Center properties are
isolated properties, too small for production anyway.
They spoke about the Alfalfa Service District and the residential district around.
it. Probably it is all five acres or less. Beyond that is EFU.
Commissioner Baney stated she wants to see consistency. Five acres or less is a
`no'. More than five would require a CUP. She would like to see how the
Planning Commission goes with this.
It was decided that the area around Tumalo is five acres or less, so production
would not be allowed. The same applies for Terrebonne; plus there is a school
nearby.

In regard to the Bend Airport Development Zone, the airport proper, which the
County owns, it would not be allowed.
Title 19,the urban reserve outside city of Bend, has 10-acre minimum areas
west, east and north of town, there are also 2.5-acre subdivisions. The Board
indicated parcels would have to be more than five acres.
Commissioner Unger noted that if this was permitted and grandfathered in at
annexation, there could be a lack of compatibility. Annexation generally means
a change in zoning. This could compromise the use. Chair DeBone said that a
minimum of more than ten acres could do this. He suggested asking the cities
what they think.
Commissioner Unger would like to see residential-type properties protected,
with this not permitted at all.
Regarding wholesale and storage, a recreational wholesaler would sell to
retailers. The question is whether this could take place in conjunction with
storage, or from something like a brokerage office. The County is waiting for
OLCC licensing information. Often both have to be in one location.
Mr. Martin said that Table 4, town center, is probably just a permitted office
use. It was agreed there would be no storage or product.
Rural commercial may still allow this, where a town center has not been
established. This was created when
they talked about the redevelopment of
Sunriver Village. It is also close to a school. Commissioner Baney stated that
across the board, there should be nothing within 1,000 feet of a school. The
other Commissioners agreed.
It was determined this would not be allowed in rural service centers. Where
allowed, there could be recreational marijuana wholesaling or warehousing.
The group addressed dispensaries and retailers. One is medical, with the other
retail. There would need to be a CUP for both in all zones. The City of La Pine
has opted out, Sisters and Redmond have placed some limitations, and Bend has
a committee working on this.
Tom Anderson pointed out that the State indicates there is to be no commercial
use in conjunction with farm use. They need to match this up with medical
marijuana dispensary use, resulting in one set of rules.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, September 21, 2015
Page 6 of 10 Pages
Mr. Martin asked about allowing retail in the MUA-10 zone, the urban holding
zone of Redmond, and the Bend urban reserve. There are other variations, and
dispensaries could be allowed in the Tumalo industrial and rural industrial areas
with a CUP.
In regard to medical and recreational processing, Commissioner Baney said
they should establish tiers for processing. Perhaps a LUCS would work or
otherwise provide for adequate fire protection. For example, twenty acres of
EFU that is not in a fire district could have tier 1 (drying) but not distilling.
Greater processing needs a good fire response. This is more of a commercial
type use, and a lot of areas are not well protected.
Mr. Lelack said that they could have guidelines on how close tier 2 processing
could be to a residence. Commissioner Baney noted that they need to consider
a LUCS, setbacks, road conditions, easements, odor and traffic. Sideboards are
needed for this to set limits on EFU and MUA-10. It would be a very unique
property where someone could do it all. Tiers 1 and 2 should be a conditional
use.
Commissioner Unger stated he is concerned about the southeast area of Tumalo
that is outside the school zone area. Mr. Martin said there have been no
inquiries on that area at this point.
Mr. Martin said the next step is to come up with development standards, such as
time, place and manner. Commissioner Unger suggested that they check with
Columbia County and others to see how they compare. Mr. Lelack stated they
could update the tables, see what Clackamas and Columbia Counties came up
with, and provide some choices.
In regard to home occupation uses, Commissioner Unger said that if it is a
home, they could allow for some kind of activity, but he does not want to see
children present. Chair DeBone noted that someone can grow their four plants
but not have a business activity.
Mr. Anderson stated that there has been a lot of work and effort on the others,
and he would just say `no' to home occupation. It could involve retail,
processing and wholesaling. Mr. Martin noted that production where otherwise
allowed probably would have a home on it in many cases.

4. Draft Update of County Cellular Phone Reimbursement Policy (BLDG-2).
Erik Kropp said that the previous policy is very dated. He would like
clarification on the categories to provide better guidance to the departments. He
would like this to be effective on November 1 so they can begin to transition.
UNGER: Move approval of the Administrator's signature.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Yes.
DEBONE: Chair vote yes.
5. Other Items.
Tom Anderson said the 911 User Board meeting is tomorrow, which is an
important one regarding the strategic plan and the radio project. They will also
talk about levy numbers. The City of Bend may not support the 911 levy
because they want to push their gas tax instead. The campaign for 911 may
need to begin much earlier.
Steve Reinke said part of the concern is they did not have a lot of information
on the reserve fund. The contingency is a required carryover and cannot be
used for other things. All of the funding on hand will be needed for various
projects and the costs of doing business. You do not wait for things to fail to
replace them. They need to start the replacement equipment fund for
replacement in 15 years as well. Also, they have asked about bonding it to
spread it out, but there is cash for this and bonding costs more money.
There are 14 jurisdictions that are depending on this, and it needs to be
supported unanimously to move forward in early December. They need two-
thirds of the agencies on board, on a population basis, and Bend has half of the
population. The City talked about pushing it out another year, but if it does not
pass then, then they will have nothing.
Mr. Anderson wants to see support in advance. They got things together to
scope out the project. After spending everything, to wait a year to find out
whether it can be maintained does not make sense.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, September 21, 2015
Page 8 of 10 Pages
The Board can make this choice, but it is a risk. There might be a way to have
this vote on a non-presidential year but it takes a double majority vote.
Commissioner Baney said then another partner may decide that they have another
issue to push. There will always be competition, but they need the support of all
agencies. It would be very self-serving to Bend to pull back support.
Mr. Anderson stated that the City folks do not want to have to make that
decision except outside of the public arena. Every other agency will have the
City in the cross hairs if they do this in a visible way. She asked Mr. Reinke to
sit down with Councilors if he can, to explain the importance. Commissioner
Baney said she stuck her neck out for the City twice for their levies. Mr.
Reinke stated that the composition of the City Council always seems to be
different.
He provided a handout detailing the background, goals, capital costs, levy
components and maintenance costs, and reserves. The key is the assessed value
growth assumptions, the CPI and medical premium increases.
May is the preferred timeframe, and it needs to be clear to the City what the
other partners want. The County and partners have already made a huge
commitment. This has been communicated the entire time to everyone
involved.
Mr. Anderson presented the results of the employee survey. It was good
overall, but similar to one in the past. The Board has both versions. There were
Reponses from about half. In the 2010 version, `no opinion' was included.
This time it was shown as `neither agree nor disagree', but this made it hard to
compare with the other. It is positive as a whole.
He provided the response by department, with the smaller ones grouped
together. He will share this with the department heads and eventually with all
employees. There were some notes and comments submitted which are not
included but he can share those with the Board as well.
Chair DeBone asked if the problem issues can be narrowed down. Mr.
Anderson said that some were examined and might be addressed. Some of it
requires just education

Malheur County does not want Owyhee country designated as a national
monument. The Board was asked if they support this. Commissioner Unger
said he already signed a letter at AOC. Commissioner Baney said she would
approve of a letter being sent to Representative Greg Walden's office.
The Board went into executive session at this point, under ORS 192.660(2)(h),
pending or threatened litigation.
Being no other items discussed, the meeting was adjourned at 3:55 p.m.

Re: Draft Update to Cell Phone Reimbursement Policy—BLDG-2
Attached is a draft update to the County's Cell Phone Reimbursement Policy—BLDG-2.This
item is scheduled for your September 21,2015 Work Session.
The current policy provides for five different reimbursement amounts: $25,$40,$75,$100,and
$125.When the policy was originally adopted in June 2003,cell phone plans charged on a per-
minute basis.This billing structure led to the options for higher reimbursement amounts.
Much has changed in cell phone technology and pricing structure since June 2003.The draft
changes to the policy provide better guidance to determine the amount of the cell phone
reimbursement and eliminate the higher reimbursement amounts($100 and$125). To allow for
transition to the new policy,staff recommends an implementation date of November 1,2015.

CELLULAR TELEPHONE POLICY
STATEMENT OF POLICY
It is the policy of Deschutes County to provide for flexible, cost-effective use of cellular
telephones.
APPLICABILITY
This policy applies to all County employees who use cellular telephones for county business.
POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Deschutes County employees who use cellular telephones for county business use the phones
with different frequency, varying from occasional use to frequent use. There will be two types of
cellular telephone plans available to Deschutes County employees who use cellular telephones for
county business.
Plan A. Deschutes County Supplied TelepPhones.
Manyest employees with a business need for a cellular telephone will be
assigned a County-owned phone. Use of cellular telephones supplied by
the County is restricted to County business. Personal calls (outgoing or
incoming) will only be allowed infrequently for limited duration in
instances of family emergencies if these calls cannot be made from a
land line phone within a reasonable period of time. These cellular
telephones remain county property and will be on the cellular telephone
plan provided by Deschutes County as established by the Property and
FacilitiesBuilding Services Department.
Plan B. Personal Cellala-r TelePPhone
The County recognizes that, due to the nature of some positions, it may
be more cost-effective and provide more flexibility to provide some
employees with a cellular telephone allowance in lieu of providing the
employee with a County-owned cellular telephone. Under this plan, the
County, in conjunction with the Department Head, may designate
employees who, in lieu of being provided with a County-owned cellular
telephone, will be provided with a monthly allowance to obtain a
personal cellular telephone to be used- compensate him/her for County-
related and personal business of the employee.
Under this plan, there are no restrictions to an employee's use of his or
her cell phone. -• . . _. • . -. - •. .. .. ' - . .- •- .
• - . Employees on this plan may not seek
separate reimbursement from County of any cell phone charges incurred.
Each employee receiving a cell phone allowance is responsible for
obtaining their own phone and usage plan
Policy#BLDG-2,Cell Phone Page 1
The amount of this allowance will be one of the following, depending on
past history of cellular telephone usage and business needs of the
department. The amount of the allowance will be based upon a
recommendation from the employee's Department Head and review by
the County Administrator's Office. - - • .•- •-• •
Monthly Allowance
Category 1: $ 25.00
Category 2: $ 40.00
Category 3: $ 7.5.00
Category 4: $100,00
Category 5: $ 00
Listed below are general guidelines to determine the amount of the cell
phone reimbursement amount:
Category 1 — infrequent, but necessary cell phone use required during
work hours.
Category 2 -- frequent/daily cell phone contact and use during work
hours and any on-call periods (if applicable). Cell phone includes text
capability.
Category 3 — frequent daily cell phone use du rin g and aft er work hou rs.
Phone must have text and email capability and be connected to the
County's email system. Cell phone number provided to County staff and
customers, as appropriate. After hour use is expected, Non-exempt
eBmployees 'positions are not eligible for this category due to
FLSA implications for performing work during non-work hours.
The amount of the monthly allowances may be adjusted periodically by
the County Administrator to attempt to conform generally to
commercially available cellular telephone usage plans.
Personal smart phones used to connect to County data systems are
subject to the mobile computing device provisions contained in Policy
IT-1. A lost or stolen smart phone that is connected to County data
systems must be reported to the Information Technology Department.
For data security issues the County reserves the right to perform a remote
wipe or "brick" on the device. This includes the possible erasure of
employee purchased add-on software and digital media. Deschutes
County is not responsible for any form of recovery.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 16,2015
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Matthew Martin,Associate Planner
Nick Lelack,Community Development Director
RE: Marijuana Related Business Land Use/Zoning Decisions Continued
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to assist the Board of County Commissioners(Board) in providing
direction on the following potential text amendments to Deschutes County Code, including a timeline:
I. Permissible Uses:
Identify zones or geographic areas where marijuana business may be permitted or prohibited,
including whether home occupations for marijuana businesses should be allowed.
II. Reasonable Regulations:
Draft reasonable time, place,and manner regulations for marijuana related businesses.
III. Draft Timeline:
Review the draft schedule to prepare, process, and adopt amendments to County Code.
SUMMARY
At the work session on September 2, 2015,the Board did not"opt out"of any marijuana related businesses
at this time as allowed by HB 3400. Instead,the Board decided to work with staff to propose regulations
addressing marijuana businesses,and to begin the process immediately.
I. Permissible Uses
The County is responsible for regulating land uses, including those related to recreational and
medical marijuana, pursuant to the Deschutes County Code(DCC). Marijuana production,
processing and sale are no different than any other land use when it comes to administering the
zoning ordinance.As with other land uses,the appropriate zoning district(s)to locate these
businesses will be based on characteristics of the business (growing, processing,wholesaling,
retailing or a combination thereof).
House Bill (HB) 3400 identifies the following six (6) marijuana related businesses that require
registration or licensing by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) prior to being
established:
Quality Services Performed with Pride
• Medical Marijuana Processing Site • Recreational Marijuana Processors
• Medical Marijuana Dispensaries • Recreational Marijuana Wholesalers
• Recreational Marijuana Producers(Growers) • Recreational Marijuana Retailers
Please note that HB 3400 identifies which business types/land uses are permitted in the EFU zone
and which are not. Specifically, medical and recreational marijuana processing is outright
permitted in the EFU zone unless the County opts out of these businesses.'Recreational marijuana
production (grow) is outright permitted as a farm use. HB 3400 prohibits farms stands and
commercial activities in the EFU zone, meaning retail sales are not allowed.
The Board will need to decide if and how to allow a business type/land use in each zone:
• Permitted use: The business type/land use is approved, approved with conditions, or denied
subject to compliance with clear and objective standards (Site Plan Review or an Administrative
Determination may be required);or
• Conditional Use: The business type/land use is approved, approved with conditions,or denied
subject to compliance with compatibility standards(DCC 18.128.015) and other applicable
standards;or
• Prohibit: The use in the zone is disallowed.
For your information, Staff has prepared a series of tables that identify the marijuana related
business and the zones were such a use would be allowed under the current standards of the DCC,
either permitted outright or as a conditional use. If a zone is not included on the table then the
related use is prohibited. Also included are comments that provide addition information. The
tables included are:
• Table 1—Dispensaries and Retail
• Table 2—Processing
• Table 3—Recreational Production
• Table 4—Recreational Wholesaling
Home Occupations:
Outside of the standard use categories, home occupations are a unique type of commercial use
that warrants attention. A home occupation is an occupation or profession carried on within a
dwelling and/or a residential accessory structure by a resident of the dwelling or employees and is
secondary to the residential use of the dwelling and/or the residential accessory structure.
Some marijuana businesses(i.e.,small processing) might be permitted as a home occupation under
current standards. The tables do not list home occupations because home occupations are
permitted in all zones.
1
Processing facilities require a land use permit in the EFU zone under Deschutes County Code 18.16.025(1).
-2-
BOARD DIRECTION:Staff seeks direction from the Board on:
1. In what zones and/or geographic areas will be proposed to permit marijuana businesses,either
outright or conditionally,or to prohibit?
2. Should marijuana businesses be proposed to be permitted as home occupations and, if yes,
should they be limited to specific businesses, zones, standards, etc. (to be discussed at a
subsequent work session).
II. Reasonable Regulations
The provisions of HB 3400,Sections 33,34,and 89 provide an opportunity for the County to
establish"reasonable regulations"addressing the time, place and manner characteristics of
marijuana related uses. Compliance with"reasonable regulations" must be demonstrated by the
applicant prior to the issuance of a Land Use Compatibility Statement(LUCS). These regulations can
apply to outright permitted uses or conditional uses.
The attached Table 5 contemplates time, place,and manner regulation of marijuana related business.
The criteria and standards included are provided as starting points for the Board to consider and
comment. These criteria and standards have been identified by Staff through review of adopted
ordinances in Washington(see attached)and comments received locally.
BOARD DIRECTION: Staff seeks direction for the Board on these initial uses standards including
recommendations for retention,refinement,or elimination.
III. Draft Timeline
The OLCC will begin accepting applications for marijuana business licenses on January 4,2015. To
have regulations in place by that date the timeframe for development, review,and adoption of the
regulations is very limited. Below is a tentative schedule:
9/21 BOCC Work Session

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
COUNTY OF COWLITZ,STATE OF WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 14 067
Repealing Chapter 18.01 interim regulations and adopting Chapter 18.76
"Recreational Marijuana"of the Cowlitz County Code establishing permanent
official controls on the production,processing and retailing of recreational marijuana
WHEREAS,pursuant to Article 11, Section 11 Washington State Constitution and RCW
36.70.010 & -.750, RCW 36.32.120, RCW 69.51A.140, and other lawful authority the Board of
Cowlitz County Commissioners, the Board has the authority to enact zoning controls and
development regulations pertaining to the production, processing, or dispensing of cannabis or
cannabis products within its jurisdiction;and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said laws and authority, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 13-
154 by emergency enactment, and Ordinance 14-016 and Chapter 18.01 of the County Code
establishing interim land use controls on recreational marijuana production, processing and retail
sales; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to such laws and interim enactment, the Board establishing a
working group to develop permanent controls to present to the Planning Commission to consider
extending,amending or rescinding these interim land use controls; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the working group
work product and has recommended adoption of permanent land use controls on recreational
marijuana production,processing and retail sales;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COWLITZ COUNTY AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. General Findings.
1. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish zoning regulations related to the siting of
marijuana businesses allowed under Initiative 502 in unincorporated Cowlitz County.
2. Initiative 502 was passed by the voters of the State of Washington in November 2012,
providing a framework under which marijuana producers, processors, and retailers can
become licensed by the Washington State Liquor Control Board.
3. The SEPA Responsible Official issued a threshold decision for these proposed permanent
regulations on July 2,2014 and comments were accepted through July 16,2014.
4. On June 25,2014,the Cowlitz County Planning Commission held a workshop and public hearing
on the proposed permanent regulations and on July 11, 2014, transmitted the Commission's
adopted findings on and recommendation of adoption of permanent regulations.
5. Marijuana remains illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act,21 U.S.C. §801 et
seq. State and local regulations do not preempt federal law. Individuals and businesses
involved in the production, processing, sales, and possession of marijuana could still be
subject to prosecution under federal law. Local zoning and other regulations are not
Ordinance Adopting CCC 18.76 Page 1
Recreational Marijuana

associated with and are not a defense against a violation of federal law, and are not
associated with and are not a defense against violation of state law or administrative
licensing of recreational marijuana.
6. While marijuana is still classified as a controlled substance under state law in RCW
69.50.204(c)(22), the adoption of Initiative 502 allows it to be produced, processed and
sold under the strict licensing program established by the Washington State Liquor
Control Board. Recognizing that the State is proceeding with licensing and regulation of
the production, processing and retail of marijuana, the Board believes it necessary to
adopt permanent local regulations for these facilities to further protect the public health,
safety and welfare of its citizens. Cowlitz County makes no representations or
commitments about the lawfulness of the facilities and leaves all issues relating to the
legality and licensing of such facilities to be determined by the federal and state
governments in the exercise of their lawful authority, as finally determined by a court of
appropriate jurisdiction.
7. This ordinance provides reasonable regulations to address compatibility of uses,
screening, safety standards and other requirements consistent with the County's desire to
provide efficient and effective development and reduce conflicts with other uses.
8. Nothing in this ordinance is intended nor shall be construed to authorize or approve
medical marijuana collective gardening or medical marijuana cooperatives.
9. Nothing in this ordinance is intended nor shall be construed to authorize or approve of
any violation of federal or state law.
Section 2. Repeal and Adoption.
Ordinance Nos. 13-154 and 14-016, and the official interim controls of Chapter 18.01 of the
Cowlitz County Code, entitled "Recreational Marijuana" are hereby repealed, and a new
Chapter 18.76, entitled "Recreational Marijuana", attached hereto as "Exhibit A" and
incorporated herein by this reference, is hereby adopted in its entirety.
Section 3. Codification.
Only the Code amendments in Chapter 18.76 and its sections 18.76.010 through and
including 18.76.090, as set forth in "Exhibit A" attached hereto, shall be codified from this
Ordinance and that Chapter 18.01 shall be repealed and redacted from the Code.
Section 4. Savings Clause.
Such repeals and amendments shall not be construed as affecting any existing right acquired
under the ordinances or portions of ordinances repealed or amended, nor as affecting any
proceeding instituted thereunder, nor any rule, regulation, or order promulgated thereunder,
nor the administrative action taken thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing actions,
obligations under such ordinances or permits issued thereunder and in effect on the effective
date of this ordinance shall continue in full force and effect, and no liability thereunder, civil
or criminal, shall be in any way modified. Further, it is not the intention of these actions to
reenact any ordinance or portions or sections of ordinances previously repeal or amended,
unless this ordinance specifically states such intent to reenact such repealed or amended
ordinances.

Summary of Proposed Amendments TA 15-01 Zoning Ordinance Marijuana Use Amendments Page 5 of 23
A new Section,"1803 Marijuana Uses" within,Article IX(Special Use Standards)is proposed to be added to the
Zoning Ordinance as part of this amendment. Section 1803 addresses State and local County standards specific
to marijuana uses which are in addition to those applicable in individual zoning districts in which those uses are
located. These standards incorporate State law requirements related to land use and add County reasonable time,
place and manner regulations of the nuisance aspects of medical and recreational marijuana uses. Findings
justifying the proposed additional County standards in terms of the need to address related potential adverse effects
of marijuana uses are contained in the Staff Report available one week prior to the October 5, 2015 Planning
Commission hearing.
A summary of State standards to be included in Section 1803 and proposed additional local special use standards
are summarized in the table below:
