Bridgeville Area
A Special Permit for 8,700-square-foot (SF) of existing cannabis cultivation of which 5,200 SF is mixed-light and 3,500 SF is outdoor. Applicant relocated approximately 5,200 SF of mixed-light and 1,050 SF of outdoor cultivation adjacent to the existing non-permitted residence, which is proposed to be converted into materials storage and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant restrooms. Approximately 14,868 SF of existing outdoor cultivation in multiple areas was retired and will no longer be used. A remediation inspection plan was prepared documenting revegetation from onsite retirement, remediation, and relocation of three historic cultivation areas. Irrigation water is sourced from a registered point of diversion and a rainwater catchment system that captures water from all greenhouse roof surfaces and is stored in 20 hard tanks totaling 79,200 gallons. An additional 270,000-gallon rain catchment storage tank is proposed. Estimated annual water usage for cultivation is approximately 97,000 gallons. Drying occurs onsite and all additional processing will occur offsite. Power for the operation is currently provided by two generators that will be retired and replaced with renewable (Pacific Gas and Electric Company, solar, or wind) power within 3 to 5 years of permit approval.
