Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Kittitas County Board of Commissioners in the 2014 Docket Session amended the matrix in Kittitas County Code 17.15 to provide greater limitation on the growth and production of marijuana. Within the adopted ordinance marijuana growth and production are now limited to lands zoned "Light Industrial" and "General Industrial" after an Administrative Conditional Use permit is approved. The production of marijuana will be allowed to occur inside or outside a building and must meet the requirements of the State Liquor Control Board. A decision to deny or approve the administrative conditional use permit can be appealed to the Board of County Commissioners for their final decision.
Previous to the adoption of this ordinance, production of marijuana was allowed upon lands zoned "Commercial Agriculture," Agriculture 20," or "Forest and Range" as long as such lands were greater than 10 acres in size. When lands proposed for growth or production of marijuana is less than 20 acres in size, approval of a conditional use permit was necessary. Production of marijuana in lands zoned "Commercial Agriculture," "Agriculture 20," and "Forest and Range" is no longer allowed.
