Record Number PLN-2019-15749 (filed 12/19/2019)
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 223-111-006
Garberville area
Modify of an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to change the approved square footage. Resolving an error in the original site plan that was utilized for the staff analysis and issuance of the original Conditional Use Permit. The previously approved project (PLN-12043-CUP) was approved for a total cultivation amount of 9,960 square feet of outdoor cannabis cultivation however the cultivation area on the original site plan utilized the definition of cultivation area under the State Licensing process. The cultivation amount sought by the applicant would have correctly been identified as 13,800 square feet of cannabis cultivation consistent with County prepared Cultivation Area Verification and the adopted definition of cultivation area in the CMMLUO. While a change in listed cultivation area this modification does not result in any additional footprint of the cultivation on the ground than what was already permitted. | | |
