Trinity County's supervisors tonight will discuss a 45-day moratorium on large-scale medical marijuana growing in the county's residential neighborhoods.
Hundreds are expected to attend the 6 p.m. meeting inside the Trinity County Library at 351 Main Street in Weaverville. County officials recommend those wishing to guarantee a spot inside come early since the room will quickly fill up.
Though pot growing has become a major source of income for the economically depressed rural county about an hour's drive west of Redding, the county's planning commission last month voted to recommend the supervisors temporarily ban large grow operations in neighborhoods county-wide after complaints they were becoming too large and unsafe.
There are also complaints that many of the grows are really just farms that sell pot to out-of-towners "whose status as qualified patients is questionable," county documents show.
The hope was the moratorium would allow more time to come up with a plan that would allow county officials to regulate and issue permits, county planners say.
County planning staff members recommend the supervisors approve the moratorium.
