Appeal Denied: Oakley Issues $106k Fine for Cannabis Grow
The City Council denied an appeal by a property owner after receiving a $106k fine for an illicit cannabis grow operation. The property owner will now pay $2,963 each month over the next 3-years.
The move comes on the heels of a cannabis bust back in December 2023 at 404 Malicoat Ave—Oakley Police had been conducting surveillance at the residence on 6-7 separate occasions over several months for cannabis operations. In the December 15 search warrant, the Oakley Police Department discovered a total of 1,075 marijuana plants. Appellant was cited for 1,069 plants since Oakley Municipal Code section 9.1.1230 (c)(2) allows for up to 6 indoor plants per parcel.
