3598 Thomas Road , Whitethorn area
Project Description: A Zoning Clearance Certificate for 5,000 square feet of existing full-sun outdoor cannabis cultivation. Water for irrigation is sourced from a 250,000-gallon off-stream rainwater catchment pond. The applicant's estimated annual water use is 82,350 gallons. Processing activities, including drying, trimming, and packaging will occur offsite at a permitted third-party processing facility. The cultivation activity does not require any power use. Power to a residence on the site is provided by an existing solar array with a backup generator. No employees work on site. The project requires a Special Permit for an area with cultivation on slopes greater than 15% and a Special Permit for minor site reconfiguration.
Recommendation
Find that the Zoning Administrator has considered the Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (CCLUO) pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, make all of the required findings for approval of the Special Permit based on evidence in the staff report, and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Alyeska 707, LLC Special Permits subject to the recommended conditions.
