The applicant is seeking a Special Permit for 10,000 square feet of existing full-sun outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation. One harvest is obtained annually. Water for irrigation was historically sourced from a registered spring diversion from Pine Creek, however, the applicant is transitioning to entirely rainwater catchment. The applicants projected annual water usage is 37,500 gallons. Water storage onsite totals 37,500 gallons. Processing such as drying and curing occurs onsite in an existing 770 square foot structure, further processing occurs offsite at a licensed third-party processing facility. The project is owner operated; therefore, no employees are required. The minimal energy required for the project is sourced from a generator however alternative energy will be required. The Humboldt County Planning Commission will consider an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration and has been prepared for consideration per §15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
