California State Appeals Court Supports Tehama County’s Medical Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance

Sierra Sun Times
Earlier this week, the 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Tehama County’s cultivation ordinance which: 1) declares it a public nuisance to grow marijuana anywhere within 1,000 feet of a school, school bus stop, church, park, or youth-oriented facility; 2) restricts gardens to no more than 12 mature or 24 total plants on parcels of 20 acres or less; 3) requires outdoor gardens to be surrounded by an opaque fence at least six feet high and located 100 feet or more from the property boundaries; and 4) requires every patient garden to be registered with the county health services agency for a fee.
