Commissioners to hold second public hearing on proposed land use regulations related to psilocybin businesses

On Wednesday, Nov. 30, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will conduct a second public hearing to receive testimony on proposed land use regulations related to psilocybin businesses in the unincorporated County. The hearing will occur at 6 p.m. at the Deschutes Services Building, which is located at 1300 NW Wall Street in Bend. Virtual testimony will also be accepted.

In the November General Election, a majority of residents voted to allow psilocybin manufacturing and service centers in the unincorporated County. As a result, amendments that were heard by the Planning Commission in late September will move forward to be heard by the County Board of Commissioners.

Additional information on proposed land use regulations and the submission of written or virtual testimony is available at www.deschutes.org/cd. Written testimony will be accepted until Friday, Dec. 2 at 4 p.m. and can be emailed to tanya.saltzman@deschutes.org.
