The county’s suggested regulations call for a maximum of six plants on 2 to 5 acres, and 16 plants on more than 20 acres. ASA’s recommendations for agricultural, forest and timberland production zones call for 12 plants on property up to 5 acres, 18 plants on property up to 10 acres and 50 plants on 20 or more acres. County Counsel Alison Barratt-Green said she feared an ordinance that allowed large grows could trigger the California Environmental Quality Act, called CEQA. The act requires local governments to identify environmental impacts and mitigate them, if necessary.
Barratt-Green said that limiting the number of plants allowed under the ordinance could exempt it from the CEQA process. A 50-plant allowance could trigger the act, she said. Grow supporters also chafed at a proposed monetary fine for having plants over the allowed amount. Jonathan Collier, chairman of the Nevada County California Growers Association, noted growers already were about halfway through the grow season. He suggested delaying any fines until next year. http://www.theunion.com/news/226815...mittee-discusses-proposed-grow-regulations-in
