Board narrows processing approval with sourcing, water and access limits

Aug 31, 2026

Josephine County added four specific conditions to a cannabis processing approval, including a 25% sourcing requirement from Tax Lot 314, a ban on water for processing (except emergencies), limiting commercial access to Dick George Road, and mandatory carbon filtration; OLCC tracking and county compliance will be used to verify sourcing.

The full story

The Board’s additional conditions focus on limiting off-site impacts from the proposed cannabis processing facility and on methods to verify compliance. Planning Director James Black told commissioners the County can use Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) tracking information and the County’s annual compliance process to confirm that at least 25 percent of the material processed at the facility originates from Tax Lot 314; Black emphasized the requirement applies to the source of processed inputs, not the percentage of the farm’s own crop that must be processed.
