Placer County staff will host three drop-in meetings in May to answer questions about rules for cannabis cultivation, and the county’s compliance and enforcement process.

Placer’s cannabis ordinance, allowing limited cultivation for personal use only, became effective in January 2017. It allows cultivation of up to six non-medical plants on 50 square feet or cultivation of 50 square feet of medical cannabis for personal use, but bans all commercial activity related to cannabis including cultivation, processing, manufacturing, delivery and distribution.

Fines for non-compliance range from $500 per plant over the six plant limit up to $5,000 a day for commercial activities including cultivation, manufacture or distribution.

Session details:

Sheridan — May 4, noon-3pm, Stewart Hall, 6005 Camp Far West Road, Sheridan

Auburn — May 11, noon-3pm, Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, Cypress Room
3091 County Center Drive, Auburn

Alta — May 18, noon-3pm, Alta Community Center, 33950 Alta Bonny Nook Road, Alta.

An evening session will be scheduled in the near future to accommodate those working traditional business hours.
