Templeton Area Advisory Group expresses discomfort in cannabis grow buffer distances
–At a regular meeting of the Templeton Area Advisory Group held Oct. 18, the TAAG board considered several aspects of the current provisions of the county code relating to cannabis cultivation and heard comments from 12 citizens.
After further board discussion, the TAAG board considered and approved the following motion unanimously (7-0):
That a letter be drafted to the County Planning Commission for its consideration at the Nov. 8 hearing scheduled on this subject indicating TAAG’s discomfort with existing buffer distances between residences and cannabis operations (and associated structures).
The Templeton Area Advisory Group (TAAG) was established in the early 1990s to help represent Templeton and the North County on issues of development within the community. TAAG and its purposes were formally recognized by Resolution 94-144 of the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors on April 5, 1994. The area for which TAAG provides comments is the same area as the Templeton Unified School District (TUSD), and has the same boundaries as the TUSD – a land area of close to 100 square miles. TAAG is composed of nine volunteers – seven delegates and two alternates. They are residents of the Templeton area who are selected by registered TAAG-resident voters in annual elections held on the first Thursday of March. TAAG has no staff but these volunteers.
