Record Number PLN-11169-SP
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 107-232-005
2480 Panther Gap Road Honeydew area
Project Description: A Zoning Clearance Certificate for 5,000 square feet of existing mixed-light commercial cannabis cultivation. Cultivation occurs in two greenhouses using supplemental light to achieve up to three harvest cycles. The irrigation water source is a groundwater well. Approximately 50,000 gallons is required for irrigation annually. Water storage totals 60,000 gallons in hard-sided tanks. Propagation occurs in a 500 square foot hoop house. Drying and processing occur in an existing shed and a proposed 20’ x 60’ (1,200 SF) building. Up to four employees are needed. The power source is P.G.&E with a backup generator. The Special Permits are requested to reduce the setback from the King Range National Conservation Area and to authorize work within the Streamside Management Area to decommission a Point of Diversion. The Humboldt County Zoning Administrator will consider an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Recommendation
Find that the Zoning Administrator has considered the Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted for the Commercial Medical Marijuana 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 Certificate based on evidence in the staff report and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Mattole Acres, LLC project subject to the recommended conditions.
