Ettersburg area
A Conditional Use Permit for 20,400 square feet (SF) of existing outdoor cultivation that is cultivated within thirty-two (32) hoop house style greenhouses utilizing light deprivation techniques and 1,791 SF of ancillary propagation. Irrigation water is sourced from a 300,000-gallon rainwater catchment pond and a spring diversion. Existing available water storage is 447,850 gallons in the pond and a series of hard-sided (metal and HDPE) tanks. Estimated annual water usage is 345,000 gallons. Drying and curing occurs onsite in a 1,300-square-foot dry shed and a two-story, 3,000 square-foot multi-use building. All other processing will occur off-site at a licensed processing or manufacturing facility, until such time a structure is permitted onsite. A maximum of six (6) people may be onsite during peak operations. Power is currently provided by solar and a generator, with a second generator utilized for backup; however, the applicant has long-term plans to convert to PG&E power by 2026.
