A Conditional Use Permit (CUP-I6-582) for 5,000 square feet of new mixed-light cannabis cultivation and a Special Permit (SP-16-460) for 1,600 square feet for indoor cultivation in an existing nonresidential structure. The water source would be the Willow Creek Community Services District and two hard plastic rainwater catchment tanks with a total capacity of 5,000 gallons. The projected water usage is approximately 276,000 gallons a year. Once dried on-site, the cannabis will be transported and processed off-site in a County-approved processing center. The applicant will have no additional employees. PGE will provide service to the indoor cultivation and the applicant will purchase carbon offsets from Terrapass to meet the indoor cultivation requirements for renewable energy.
