Title
Jason Nottingham, Special Permit
Record Number PLN-12647-SP
Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 208-271-002
Dinsmore area
A Special Permit (SP-16-787) for an existing 8,325 square foot (SF) outdoor cannabis cultivation operation. The project entails relocating the existing outdoor cultivation footprint within a proposed five (5) 1,600 SF and one (1) 325 SF greenhouses for a total outdoor cultivation footprint of 8,325 SF. As the previous cultivation footprint has been relocated greater than 200 feet from a watercourse, the approval of a Special Permit (SP) for work performed within the Streamside Management Area (SMA) per the Streamside Management and Wetlands Ordinance (SMAWO) requirements as well as an SP for cultivation shall be required. Ancillary propagation is proposed in a 1,200 SF greenhouse. Irrigation water is sourced from a point of diversion (POD). Drying, machine trimming, and curing will occur onsite in a 160 SF Conex box, where all small buds will be crushed and transferred to an off-site licensed processing or manufacturing facility. One (1) to two (2) full-time employees will perform all processing via machine, forgoing the need for additional seasonal employees. Power is provided by a 6500-watt and 3000-watt gasoline powered generators and solar.
