Project Description:  A Special Permit and seven Zoning Clearance Certificates for a total of 183,560 square feet (sf) of outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation to be relocated to the site through the Retirement, Remediation and Relocation (RRR) program. Three of the seven proposed Zoning Clearance Certificates (PLN-12719-ZCC, PLN-12713-ZCC and PLN-2018-15294) will be processed separately.  There is 10,000 sf of existing permitted outdoor cannabis cultivation on site. Irrigation water will be supplied by rainwater catchment and a groundwater well. There is a total of 770,000 gallons of rainwater catchment storage proposed at full build-out. The applicant proposes to propagate plant starts on site. Cannabis will be processed off site at a licensed processing facility. There will be 14 full-time operators.

Recommendation

Find that the Zoning Administrator has considered the Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report adopted for the Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, make all of the required findings for approval of the Special Permit and Zoning Clearance Certificates based on the evidence in the staff report and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Black Bear Farms, LLC project subject to the recommended conditions.
