The Sacramento City Council will hold a hearing Tuesday on whether to ban cannabis cultivation in an East Sac district set aside as a "Center for Innovation," intended to foster technology and innovation.
The council will vote on the issue after the hearing at its regular meeting, which starts at 5 p.m.
Cannabis cultivation would be inconsistent with the plan for the Sacramento Center for Innovation, planners said in a supporting document for the agenda item.
“Cannabis cultivation is a low intensity use that does not foster an environment of collaboration that links university research with private enterprise, nor does it help attract and retain innovative businesses that employ Sacramento’s workforce,” the document said.
