The applicant is seeking a Modification to a Special Permit to construct a one-million-gallon rainwater catchment pond, and Zoning Clearance Certificates for off-site commercial processing, off-site commercial propagation, distribution and non-volatile manufacturing of infused pre rolls, and a Special Permit for hosting farm tours.

Farm tours will be conducted exclusively by a licensed Tour Group Operator and will comply with local and state Performance Standards for Public Accommodations. Water for onsite operations will come from rainwater catchment. There is an existing 450,000 gallon pond, a proposed 1,000,000 gallon pond, an existing permitted groundwater well. Irrigation is estimated to require 350,000 gallons of water per year. The site has an ADA accessible, commercial restroom.
