At the January 11, 2018 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission voted 3-2 to recommend a re-zoning request for Mercer Fraser property APN 504-161-010 and a special use permit for a 5,000 square foot cannabis extraction manufacturing facility to be sent to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.

Our Board and staff believe heavy industrial development adjacent to our source water intake infrastructure on the Mad River is not protecting the health and safety of Humboldt County residents.
