Full Pardon Farms, LLC Special Permit
Assessor Parcel Number 216-081-008
Record No.: PLN-11692-SP
New Harris area
Full Pardon Farms, LLC seeks a Special Permit (PLN-11692) for 10,000 square feet (SF) of existing outdoor cannabis cultivation. Plants are propagated in a 1,500-SF nursery on an adjacent parcel under common ownership (APN 216-083-006). Irrigation water is sourced from one (1) 1,400,000-gallon rainwater catchment pond onsite. Estimated annual water use is 104,000 gallons (10.4 gal/SF). Water is stored in the pond totaling 1,400,000 gallons. Processing such as drying, curing, and bucking down flower occurs onsite in a 2,400 SF barn located in the parcel's southeast corner. Further processing such as trimming and packaging occurs offsite at a licensed third-party facility. Besides the owners/operators, no additional full-time employees would be required. Power demand is limited as cultivation occurs without power, and drying and curing of harvested cannabis occur using natural ambient heat and circulation. A 3-kilowatt (kW) generator is used to dry and cure cannabis when temperatures are low.
