MEASURE Y PASSAGE COULD BE CURE FOR SONOMA DAWDLING

Following countless delays, in August the City of Sonoma agreed to let SPARC have the first legal, tax-generating dispensary within the city, on Highway 12. Then in October Sonoma’s city council paused, leaving the city with no prospective dispensary candidate.

That’s where industry-sponsored Measure Y comes in. If passed on Tuesday, it will upend Sonoma zoning rules and expand local cannabiz opportunities.

  • Sonoma itself has Measure X, which would let it levy 4% in taxes on gross receipts from its first storefront. The city could attempt to reissue a permit to SPARC in the future or go with another operator.
