Community Briefs from page 2 The Question from page 3 plans to build California’s first large-scale marijuana greenhouse in Desert Hot Springs, according to reports. CalCann Holdings will apply for a mega license and plans to hire 40 employees who will begin work in 2018. The operation will generate $400,000 in local taxes per year for Desert Hot Springs, the holding company estimates. Will the smell of marijuana plants be wafting over South Bay cities and in the industrial areas anytime soon? Probably not because cities have the authority to ban the cultivation of marijuana within their borders. Homeowners can grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use under the newly approved law. However, growing outdoors can be banned in cities and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Numerous cities in California banned marijuana growing ahead of last week’s statewide vote. With or without ordinances, many commercial building owners don’t welcome marijuana-growing operations because of the lingering odors created even after the business closes down. John Erickson, senior vice president with commercial property firm Colliers International, has fielded numerous inquiries over the past 20 years from medical marijuana companies looking for warehouse space. The answer he has given them time and time again is no. They bring too many problems, including odor and water damage from broken pipes, he said. Still, a growers association thinks there could be 50,000 places available to grow marijuana within California. While the demand for space to grow will be high by 2018, the supply of available space in urban areas will remain low. Growers persuasive enough to sign a lease pay dearly for it too. They’re renting space at higher-than-market rates, according to one commercial broker. Ron Berndt with Daum Commercial estimated that a pot business will pay $1.25 per square foot for a space that would normally rent for about 85 cents. The amount of power needed to grow the crop requires upgrades, which can take Edison six months to schedule and install, he said. Growing outdoors remains illegal under the strict wording of Prop 64, which means that law enforcement will continue to monitor national forests and rural areas for illegal pot farms. Environmental protection - and cleaning up California’s pot industry - seems to have been on the minds of voters this time around. A ballot measure to legalize pot failed in 2010. Though public attitudes have softened about prosecuting minor crimes for selling and possessing marijuana, large-scale growing operations in national forests and on public land remain a concern. Law-enforcement officials say that pot farms in remote areas are a danger to fauna, wildlife and unsuspecting hikers who stumble across the illegal grows. Prop 64 includes money for law enforcement. People convicted of marijuana crimes are eligible for immediate re-sentencing under the less-harsh Prop 64. Jail sentences could be shortened and marijuana offenders could petition to have a conviction removed from their records if, for example, their crime was possession of marijuana and the amount would be legal under the 2016 user-friendly version of the law. • Apartment For Rent 1.Bd. 1.Bth.Upstairs Apt. for rent in E/S.
