In an unsurprising 3-2 vote, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors today  passed the highly controversial amendments to Mendocino County Code 9.31, extending the county's regulatory claims to include growing collectives.  The measure includes a possible exception to the 25 plants per parcel Nuisance Ordinance through which a collective may be able to get a permit to grow up to 99 mature flowering females, if the collective is able to jump through the highly complex series of 23 bureaucratic hoops in order to get their permit.

Supervisors Colfax and Pinches were the dissenting votes.

MMMAB has consistently opposed this measure, the validity of which now passes to the courts for determination.  A challenge to the existing MCC 9.31 was filed by Attorney ED Lerman on 9/11/2009 and will be heard by Judge Behnke in Superior Court on May 14.

In the meanwhile, keep your eye on Qualified Patients v. City of Anaheim, a case which is likely to impact the Mendo courts ruling on 9.31.  A decision in that case is expected around 4/20.
