A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an existing cultivation of 10,000 square feet of outdoor and 2,000 square feet of mixed-light cannabis cultivation (12,000 square feet total). Plants are harvested and dried in the shop, and then they are machine trimmed outside and returned to the shop for curing. All processing is completed by the applicant and no employees are utilized. The applicant is also seeking an off-site, licensed, processing facility for future use. Water is currently sourced for irrigation from the applicant's point of water diversion from Anton Creek on the property. The applicant will be abandoning the diversion from Anton Creek in 2018 and transitioning to the use of a rainwater catchment system to supply water to the cultivation for future use.

The applicant has 25,000 gallons of hard tank storage and 50,000 gallons of bladder storage, and is proposing to expand water storage to 100,000 gallons by January 1, 2018.
