This is a no brainer. If Santa Barbara wants to be number one in cannabis tax collection it needs to understand Hoop houses have been used for all other crops and this is no different. Could have been broccoli, cauliflower, or any number of smelly and manure needing crops.

Why can’t people let things be? Everyone that works taking care of crops so you can feed you pie hole and your family! Work Hard!!! I don’t know why they use them but if it helps the crops and let the workers have shade from the hot sun!!! I’m all for it

Why would my own state do this, unless they do not want to have some good California grown produce

One of many crazy examples of California’s overregulation, and they wonder why people are leaving to other states... protect the farmers and support them, darn it, we depend on them for food!

A covered canopy is a key piece of farming equipment for all agricultural whether it be Cannabis, Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries or flowers. It protects from off spray from wind drifts from neighboring farms, frost, powdery mildew, water evaporation, birds, butterflies that lay eggs , etc. The protection of the crop from these elements means a huge reduction in pesticides, herbicides, water usage, nutrients and product loss. The off spray in this County is a huge challenge for farmers. A covered canopy is the only piece of equipment to protect against a neighboring farm that is not OMRI certified.

Please rethink this ordinance as it will put a lot of farmers in a hard spot, after already jumping through many hoops(pun intended) and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on local requirements. Thank you.
