One SP is requesting the approval of an existing 9,300 square-foot (sf) cultivation area consisting of 6,600 square feet of mixed-light and 2,700 square feet of outdoor cultivation. The second SP is requesting the approval of a proposed 2,500-sf indoor commercial medical cannabis operation on an approximately 40-acre parcel. The third SP is to allow a relaxation of the six-hundred-foot (600’) setback requirement from the King Range National Conservation Area. Water for cannabis irrigation will be provided by a 300,000-gallon rainwater catchment pond. The applicant estimates a total of 135,000 gallons of water will be required annually. There is 87,500 gallons of water storage in hard-sided tanks that are filled with water from the pond. Processing, including drying, curing, trimming, and packaging, will occur on-site. Electricity is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric.
