Commercial Cannabis To Be Discussed At Los Gatos Council Meeting

LOS GATOS, CA — The Los Gatos Town Council is set to discuss whether to allow commercial cannabis in a June 21 council meeting.

While marijuana is legal across California, cannabis for retail, manufacturing or cultivation is not allowed in Los Gatos as each municipality can enact its own regulations on cannabis.

Several Bay Area cities, including San Jose, Mountain View, Foster City and San Carlos have allowed for commercial cannabis operations.

The town received approval in January to hire a cannabis consultant to study the fiscal impacts of allowing commercial cannabis. In an informal Zoom poll conducted during a May community meeting, 55 percent of respondents believed that cannabis businesses should not be allowed in Los Gatos.

The consultant, ETC Institute, is working on a scientific cannabis community service and mailing it out to 2,100 households in Los Gatos.

The Los Gatos Town Council initially began obtaining community feedback on cannabis in January 2021.
