Record Number: PLN-11066-CUP (filed 8/31/2016)
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 221-011-021
Miranda area
A Conditional Use Permit for 18,300 square feet (SF) of existing mixed-light cultivation within seven (7) greenhouses and 1,830 SF of ancillary propagation. Estimated annual water usage is 200,000 gallons (11.11 gal/SF). Irrigation water is sourced from one (1) point of diversion on an unnamed Class II tributary of Salmon Creek. A gutter rain catchment system will also be developed to capture rainwater off the 40’x50’ (2,000 SF) barn to reduce reliance on the diversion. Existing available water storage is 15,000 gallons in a series of hard-sided tanks, with an additional 190,000 gallons proposed, for a total of 205,000 gallons of onsite water storage. One (1) 2,500-gallon fire storage tank is also present on the site. Drying will occur in an existing a 40’x50’ barn, with all other processing occurring offsite at a licensed processing or manufacturing facility. Power is provided by a generator. A maximum of six (6) employees will be onsite during peak operations. The proposed project also includes Special Permits for development within the Streamside Management Area (SMA) for the continued use and maintenance of the one (1) point of diversion on the project parcel and for removal of portions of existing greenhouses located within the SMA and associated restoration.
