Hello Neighbors,
As many of you are aware, there is a application being processed by the County Planning Department for a cannabis farm in our neighborhood. Specifically, this would be located at end of Sutliff Road, directly adjacent to Camp Roberts. Some of the negative impacts of this operation on our neighborhood are:
1. Increased road traffic on Nygren Rd, Bridge Canyon and Sutliff Rd. The applicant estimates this grow site will add approximately 24 trips per day on our privately maintained road. The applicant is under no obligation to pay increased road fees or contributions to the Nygren Road Co-op as a result of this new business venture.
2. Increased dust and air pollution. The increased road traffic outlined above will increase the dust/pollens in the air along the entire length of our community. In their application, it is stated that the daily dust created with the additional road traffic exceeds county standards of what is deemed healthy and acceptable.
3. Decreased property values in the area. Realtor.com has published an article relating to cannabis and property values stating that the estimate in Colorado has been that home/property values decline approximately 10% when a cannabis farm is in the area. This is something that homeowners must disclose to any potential buyers of property in the area.
4. Potential for increase in crime. Having this large (2 acre) grow of cannabis at the end of our road could be a target for anyone looking to steal crops of this nature. As we have all seen, people get lost in our neighborhood and drive to the wrong house all the time. Imagine what could happen if one of these "wannabe criminals" drives up to your home, how would this put you and your family at risk?
5. Water concerns to the area. This project estimates the crop would need approximately 2 acre feet per year. All water is going to be pumped from our shared aquafer, meaning this will impact all of our water supplies. Many in our community are are already experiencing issues with our wells that require us to treat our water for high levels of arsenic. A new business pulling 650,000 gallons of water every year is only going to make this problem worse.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
On February 8, there is a Planning Commission Meeting at 9am. We need as many residents as possible to attend to show our united opposition to this project. There is an opportunity to speak at the beginning of the meeting (each speaker is limited to three minutes). Speaking is not mandatory, but the option is available to everyone in attendance. If we can get enough community members to show up at the meeting, this will send a message to the Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors, and the applicant that we are not interested in having a cannabis farm in our neighborhood.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO INDICATE YOUR OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT. We want as many neighbors as possible to sign this petition opposing this grow. This will allow everyone to have a voice in this matter, even if they can't be at the meeting in person. If possible, sign the petition and come to the meeting. When signing the petition, please indicate in the notes that you are a resident who lives off of Nygren Rd.

The County Planning Department continues to ignore the blatant health risks this facility poses to our homes. They think we will just roll over while they prioritize a corporate cannabis farm over the safety and property values of the people living on Nygren Road.

This type of activity is not compatible with the community's values and also violate the CC&Rs recorded with the county on 1985-11-06.
This proposed commercial cannabis operation is incompatible in our family neighborhood. Skunk Odor, our Paso Groundwater Basin in severe overdraft, high value crop that attracts criminal element, security (SLO Sheriff's department has only one patrol car during night shift that covers all of N. County SLO 1700square miles), increased worker traffic on our private dirt road generating dust emissions that exceeds SLO County Air Quality standards, applicants site has a history of illegal cannabis operations on file with county, detrimental effect on property valuations as families do not want to live next to a commercial cannabis operation.
Yes! Definitely!
We strongly oppose this grow. This is a family oriented neighborhood
It is imperative that this project but further examined. The applicant has been less than forthcoming to this point and the project is not a good fit for this neighborhood due to safety, pollution, use, order, and maintaining the family oriented community we have fostered. Please reconsider on behalf of our community.
I oppose marijuana farming in any family neighborhoods. This will bring unwanted criminal activities. Quality of life effected by the (odor) from grow. We all need enough water to live. Marijuana is not a necessity Please help keep our neighborhood safe.
Look at what has happened in Santa Barbara County when foolish Supervisors approved Cannabis grows! They were enticed by the money they thought they were to received and it is costing the county more to manage than they receive. The prices have drastically dropped. The people of that county are enraged by reduced property values, horrible odors that make them sick and a visual blight on the land. These growers do not follow the laws and significantly harm all surrounding neighbors. Vote to deny this use in our county, look south to our neighbors and see the damages done by Cannabis grows for the citizens and the reputations of the supervisors who made very bad decisions. I personally suffered from the all the negative effects of Cannabis grows near my home and nothing good will come of any approvals.

The proposed marijuana outdoor farm in our established, family oriented neighborhood is a terrible idea. I urge the county officers at SLO not to approve it. My property borders the proposed development and we are very concerned! This belongs in further away areas, not in family neighborhoods.
