Case Number SP 16-328
Assessor’s Parcel Number 203-231-003
210 Triple K Road, Fortuna
A Special Permit for a two-story, 20,000-square-foot (100x100 foot) wholesale commercial nursery building, two to ten 5,000-gallon water storage tanks, and parking totaling two standard and one accessible spaces, in accordance with Humboldt County Code Section 314-55.4.8.7 of Chapter 4 of Division I of Title III, Commercial Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance (CMMLUO). The wholesale commercial nursery building would be an approximately 24-foot-tall metal building on a slab-on-ground foundation which would include a “mother” room, a cloning room, and a vegetative growth (“teen”) room. The mother room would be used to maintain plants that serve as sources for cuttings (clones). Cuttings would be taken from mother plants and placed in the clone room for 5-10 days to root. Clones would be transferred to the teen room for vegetative growth prior to delivery to retailers. Cultivation activities in the nursery would take place in a continuous rotation year-round. The building would feature a heating and air conditioning system. Electricity on the property is supplied by Pacific Gas and Electricity (PG&E).
