These Tehama County rules apply to projects in Corning, on top of any city-specific Corning requirements.
The county prohibits all commercial cannabis cultivation and operations — a local policy that affects how rural agricultural parcels can be used and creates due diligence requirements for buyers expecting to operate commercially.
The Dixie Fire burned into portions of eastern Tehama County, and post-fire erosion, debris flow risk, and habitat recovery requirements apply to projects in the affected burn scar — constraints that do not apply to the rest of the county.
The county adopted its first comprehensive noise ordinance only recently — projects that were analyzed under the prior condition of no formal ordinance may need to revisit noise findings if permits haven't been finalized under the new rules.
