Cannabis nursery permanence in Briceland
Plant Humboldt has operated on an interim permit since 2012; the new special permit and rezone give it a permanent path — but the applicant says a required streamside fence could sink this season's planting.
Streamside management area reduction for cannabis projects
Plant Humboldt's approval cuts the required stream buffer from 100 feet to 20 feet along Redwood Creek, a fish-bearing stream in an impacted watershed. It sets a precedent for how far the county will bend setbacks on small cannabis parcels.
