Willow Creek Area
Organic Liberty CA, LLC operates a permitted outdoor cannabis cultivation operation located near the junction of Friday Ridge Road and California State Route 299, south/southeast of the community of Willow Creek. The existing project approval (PLN-12376-CUP) consists of four Conditional Use Permits (CUP16-656, CUP17-042, CUP17-043, and CUP17-044) that allow for ?3.3 acres (143,748 square feet) of outdoor full-sun cannabis cultivation.

In addition, Organic Liberty CA, LLC requests Zoning Clearance Certificates for commercial cannabis nursery, cannabis processing, and cannabis distribution, and a Special Permit for non-flammable cannabis manufacturing, all within new steel buildings (?11,700 square feet). Water is sourced from three wells and 12 5,000-gallon rain catchment tanks. 2,264,664 gallons of water will be required each year for irrigation.
