A. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter, this chapter incorporates the requirements and procedures set forth in the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”).

D. Except as expressly stated in this chapter, cannabis operations (as defined below) must comply with all other County codes and regulations. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as permitting a cannabis operation to operate at any time in a manner that is in violation of other applicable state and local laws.
E. The license requirement set forth in this chapter shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other licensing and permitting requirements imposed by any other federal, state, or local law.

It is intended that the provisions of this chapter will supersede any other provisions of the Yolo County Code found to be in conflict and shall apply regardless of whether the activities existed or occurred prior to the adoption of the Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance, initially codified at Chapter 20 of Title 5 of the Yolo County Code, effective August 23, 2018.
