Alameda AA proximity no barrier to dispensary PDF Print E-mail
Written by Justin Baker   
Wednesday, 08 February 2006

Alameda County Supervisors agreed that proximity to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting site is not an obstacle to issuing a cannabis permit; but a school still is.

At issue at the January meeting of the Public Safety Committee were appeals on two permit applications. The sheriff’s department and a county panel had earlier rejected both applications.

The ordinance states that no dispensary may be closer than 1,000 feet from a school, public park, playground, drug recovery facility or recreation center. The Health Center lost its bid to have that limit waived for two school grounds.

The Alameda County Resource Center, however, did convince the supervisors that having an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting hall located next to its outlet doesn’t meet the restriction. The two have coexisted for years without problems. The decision did not award the ACRC a permit; the dispensary is still competing with two other applicants for a slot in the county.

    County supervisors voted to reduce the six outlets in the unincorporated areas to only three, each located in a distinct geographical area. We Are Hemp is expected to get the permit covering San Lorenzo and western Cherryland. A Natural Source has appealed the denial of its application for eastern Ashland and Castro Valley. The Garden of Eden, Compassionate Collective and ACRC are vying for the permit covering eastern Cherryland and most of Ashland.
