“Only paying clubs that are supervised within a limited period of time can use it.” The site of Diablo Valley Farms’ intended marijuana grow, as shown to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors at a meeting on Tuesday. “It is not just a facility where youth and teens can come and use it at will,” Zovod said. Diablo Valley Farms’ attorney Shawn Zovod pointed out at a meeting Tuesday that the facility is available for use only upon reservations, and is otherwise gated and locked. It’s a decision that hinged on whether Sunset Park counts as a “youth center” that primarily hosts recreational activities for minors, which would disqualify a marijuana farm from being within a thousand feet of it.īut Diablo Valley, whose application was previously denied by the county Planning Commission, successfully appealed to the supervisors that the city-owned complex is just a park, not a youth center. They can now add marijuana to their list of crops after the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously granted the farm a permit to cultivate commercial cannabis. The owners of Diablo Valley Farms, off Sellers Avenue just outside Brentwood’s city limits, already raise vegetables and have orchards of fruit trees. A 37-acre farm in unincorporated Brentwood will be allowed to grow small marijuana plants for profit, despite worries from some residents and officials that it’s too close to the Sunset Park athletic complex, a frequent site of youth sports.
