Title
Daydream Enterprises, LLC; Special Permit
Record Number PLN-12488-SP
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 208-231-013.
Dinsmore Area
A Special Permit for 9,000-square-feet (SF) of existing outdoor cannabis cultivation in three cultivation areas, with 1,280 square feet of ancillary nursery space in two greenhouses. The applicant proposes onsite relocation of 2,800 SF from Cultivation Area 2 to a new area adjacent to the agricultural storage area per recommendations from Timberland Resource Consultants to improve water conservation and decrease erosion potential. Irrigation water is sourced from a 168,000-gallon rain catchment pond and annual estimated water usage is 120,000 gallons. Total water storage is 14,850 gallons in six tanks. Processing is currently done onsite in the drying sheds, which include drying and machine trimming. The applicant plans to construct a commercial building for all future processing activities. Additionally, the adjacent property (APN: 208-231-011, App# 12493) utilizes the drying sheds on the subject property for processing but the applicant plans to construct its own onsite commercial processing building in the future (project will be routed under a different cover). Power for the operation is provided by a 400-watt solar array system, two gas generators which have a noise level rating of less than 60 decibels and a diesel generator which is enclosed in a trailer for noise reduction. A Special Permit is also requested for restoration work within Streamside Management Areas (SMA) associated with the removal of cultivation areas and ancillary facilities within SMAs.
