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.

Size limits should not be imposed on these inoffensive structures.

Hoops should continue to be exempt from permits as they fit size limitations already in place. Supporting SB County's specialty agricultural crops including berries and Cannabis should be of importance. Respectfully, Todd Mitchell

Please let the farmers keep their hoop houses. I have farmed in the Santa Barbara county for a few years on and off and it is pertinent that some crops get this extra protection. There is no reason not to allow this?! Thank you

Why would we ban something that helps us in a state of consistent drought.

These restrictions are not necessary nor are they a good balance with the needs of small farmers. Please do not impose these business destroying regulations. Thank you.

Hoop houses. Are a tool used in all forms of agriculture to help protect our vital crops. We are a compliant regulated agricultural crop that relies on our freedom to produce crops for our livelihood. Taking away hoophouses would damage all farmers United together to grow.
