A Conditional Use Permit for an indoor commercial medical cannabis operation. The operation will occupy a 10,000 square foot (SF) space inside an existing commercial structure, and is the second phase of a two phase project for an indoor commercial medical cannabis operation. Phase 1 was a Zoning Clearance Certificate (ZCC-16- 006) for 5,000 SF of cultivation and was approved on August 25, 2016. The subject property is served by an existing on-site sewage disposal system and water from the McKinleyville Community Services District. The applicant's cultivation methodology will employ a water recirculated system using a series of interconnected four (4) 5,000 gallon tanks. Per the applicant's submitted information, the water and nutrient delivery system will produce zero effluent during operations. The water recirculation tanks will be located inside the existing structure. The operation includes the following two uses that are ancillary and appurtenant to the described 10,000 square foot medical cannabis operation: 1) a 2,800 SF nursery/propagation space; and 2)a 2,250 SF production room to be used for on-site processing, both of which were approved as part of ZCC-16-006. Per the applicant, there will be an average of 10 employees, and 15 employees at peak operations.
