Myers and Aquarian, LLC
Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 216-135-015
Record No.: PLN-12124-CUP
New Harris area
A Conditional Use Permit for 24,000 square feet (SF) of existing cannabis cultivation that includes 20,800 SF of light deprivation cultivation in twenty-four (24) greenhouses and 3,200 SF of outdoor cultivation that occurs in pots. Propagation will take place in one (1) nursery area (2,400 SF). Irrigation water is currently sourced from well and a surface water diversion. Existing water storage includes onsite water tanks of various capacities that total 31,000 gallons. The applicant is proposing to transition away from the use of the well by obtaining water from either a 6-million-gallon on-stream reservoir on a separate legal parcel or from rainwater catchment for at least half of the irrigation needs, with the remainder from the existing surface water diversion, with an appropriate increase in water storage to ensure adherence to the required forbearance period. Estimated onsite water use is 270,000 gallons per year (approximately 11.25 gallons/sf/year). Drying and processing occur onsite within an existing metal building (1,500 SF). The project requires up to four (4) seasonal employees. Power is provided by one (1) 36-kw Whisper Watt Super Silent mobile generator, that is used to power the metal drying building as well as existing solar panels. The applicant proposes to transition to PG&E with only backup generator use within five years or in the event that PG&E is not available to continue to build out solar capabilities on site to meet power needs.
