Task force says cannabis permittees may apply for farm labor housing; RV living left to existing code

Mar 4, 2025

The task force voted to let commercial cannabis permittees apply for farm labor 0.25 dwellings and farm labor camps under existing county standards; members declined to create a new carve-out allowing permanent on-site RV residence and emphasized health/safety and permit size criteria.

The full story

After public testimony and staff input the task force considered whether cannabis permittees should be eligible to apply for farm labor 0.25 and farm labor camps. Staff noted the county already allows temporary travel coaches as part of farm labor 0.25 uses and that a farm labor 0.25 classification requires specific agricultural thresholds. Members debated whether to base eligibility on acreage, revenue equivalence, or number of workers; several members urged using workforce needs rather than crop value alone.
