A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is sought for an existing 42,000 square foot (sf) outdoor and an existing 1,800 sf mixed light commercial medical cannabis cultivation. The applicant estimates 35,429 gallons of water were used in 2016 and 97,637 gallons of water was projected to be used in 2017 to meet cultivation needs on the 94 acre parcel. There are fourteen water storage tanks totaling 62,300 gallons. An Initial Statement of Water Diversion for Small Domestic Use and a Stream Alteration Permit have been filed for the only water source on the site, a Class II diversion. This permit allows no more than 150 gallons of water diverted per day for strictly domestic use. The applicant is pursuing an amendment to this agreement to reflect the diversion for cannabis cultivation. To meet the water demands of the commercial cultivation operation the applicant has applied to install a well and to increase water storage to 150,000 gallons in 2018. Additionally, appurtenant processing of cannabis product grown on-site will occur inside an existing 1,800 sf multi-use building. There will be a total of six seasonal and one full time employee at full operation. Portable toilets, hand washing stations, and potable water is to be provided until an onsite septic system is permitted. Electricity is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric. In addition to the multi-use building, there is also a storage shed and two dilapidated buildings that are to be removed. Construction of one additional storage shed is planned. The Applicant has provided a WRPP prepared by Timberland Resource Consultants and a Cultural Resources Survey prepared by Alta Archaeological Consulting. No cultural resources were found within the area of potential effect.
