Title
Mattole River Farms, LLC,
Record Number PLN-11752-CUP
Assessor’s Parcel Number 108-161-034-000
Whitethorn area
A Conditional Use Permit for 17,000 square feet existing outdoor cultivation and a 4,800 square foot mixed-light greenhouse. Propagation occurs in a 2,172 square foot nursery. The applicant expects one outdoor harvest and two mixed light harvests annually. Existing cultivation claimed to have occurred between orchard rows would be reorganized into five (5) proposed 3,400 square foot greenhouses (100’ x 34’). Irrigation water is provided by a 1-million-gallon off-stream rain catchment pond. An existing water right to the Mattole River would be used for domestic purposes only with no nexus to the cannabis permit. Estimated annual irrigation use is 275,000 gallons. Processing includes drying and trimming and occurs with the existing agricultural building, garage and containers on-site. Power is provided by P.G.&E. and solar panels. The Planning Commission will consider an Addendum to a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Recommendation
Find that the Commission 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 Conditional Use Permit for 6,600 square feet of outdoor cultivation and 4,800 square feet of mixed-light cultivation based on evidence in the staff report and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Mattole River Farms, LLC, project subject to the recommended conditions.
