who we are
We are Concerned Carpinterians, a grassroots citizens group focused on protecting our quality of life in Carpinteria and the Carpinteria Valley, which is being threatened by Commercial Cannabis practices.
Negative impacts of Commercial Cannabis include but are not limited to:
1. Significant odor/air quality issues
2. Falling property values
3. Health, safety and crime issues
4. Traffic and parking congestion
5. Inestimable damage to our reputation as a famed, uniquely charming beach town
We are just beginning this journey and look forward to getting to know each other as neighbors, residents, and friends as we fight to preserve our way of life from negative impacts of Commercial Cannabis.

WHO WE ARE NOT
We are not in any way against agriculture in Carpinteria. Many of our members are multi-generational Carpinteria Valley farming families. We are not challenging the cultivation or use of medical marijuana or legal adult-use cannabis.
OUR MISSION
Within the context of legalized cannabis, our mission is to safeguard the quality of life we have historically enjoyed here in Carpinteria and the Carpinteria Valley. We will focus on regulation, enforcement and compliance. We will work with elected officials for stronger regulations where necessary. We will actively monitor and remedy Commercial Cannabis practices that adversely impact our residents.
OUR CURRENT PROCESS
We are taking steps as a group to:
1. Increase our membership
2. Reach out to our elected officials at City, County and State levels with our concerns
3. Participate in the political process
4. Challenge regulations when and if necessary
5. Educate Carpinterians on regulations, proposals for improvements, and how to report issues regarding Commercial Cannabis
6. Pursue any and all remedies, possibly seek property tax assessment reductions to compensate for falling property values
