A Conditional Use Permit for an existing 13,884-square-foot commercial cannabis cultivation consisting of 6,300 square feet of outdoor and 7,584 square feet of mixed-light cultivation. Cultivation activities extend from February to November. The applicant estimates 88,640 gallons of water is required annually for irrigation. Water for irrigation is provided by a rainwater catchment system that collects runoff from roof structures and road side drainage. Water for domestic uses is sourced from an on-site spring. There is 12,750 gallons of existing water storage. The applicant is proposing to install 50,000 gallons of additional water tanks to hold rainwater collected from roof tops and roadside drainages. Processing, including drying, curing and trimming of cannabis will occur on-site in a proposed 800-square-foot processing facility. The power source is two small generators. The applicant is in the processing of bringing conventional grid power from P. G. & E. to the subject parcel.
