Record Number PLN-11710-CUP
Assessor Parcel Number (APN): 217-255-002.
Blocksburg area
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an existing 43,560 square foot (SF) cannabis cultivation operation of which 21,560 SF is full-sun outdoor and 22,000 SF is mixed light. Ancillary propagation is proposed in two 2,160-square-foot greenhouses, with housing of genetic stock proposed in another three 2,160-square-foot greenhouses. Irrigation water is sourced from a permitted groundwater well. Estimated maximum annual water usage to support three (3) cycles of cultivation is 2,877,000 gallons (22.0 gal/SF). Drying and storage occurs onsite in two existing 3,000-square-foot buildings. A new 10,000-square-foot processing facility is proposed for all drying, storage, and processing activities. Until the applicant can permit an on-site processing building, the applicant will process cannabis at a licensed off-site processing facility. The applicant is also proposing a 6,000-square-foot structure to be used for employee facilities and storage. Power is provided by three generators. P. G. & E. improvements are proposed to move to grid power in the future. The project includes a Special Permit for development within a Streamside Management Area for remediation of a historic cultivation site as initially authorized by an emergency Special Permit issued in 2019.
