The project would continue utilizing 10,000 square feet (sf) of existing small mixed light tier 1 cannabis cultivation. Permitted Greenhouses were erected in 2017 ((1) 30’x100’) and 2018 ((1) 20’x50’, (1) 30’x100’) over the pre-existing cultivated area. Three (3) 10’x100’ outdoor light deprivation canopy areas were employed over the rest of the pre-existing cultivated area on parcel 015-410-52. A permitted 1400 sf processing building (30’x50’) was built in 2017 that houses cannabis drying, processing, and agricultural inputs, and a storage building (8’x10’) built in 2012 is used for trash and petroleum storage. The pre-existing cultivation flowering canopy is 10,000 sf and the pre-existing cultivation support infrastructure totals 1,480 sf. The graded cultivation areas were built over gently sloping topography with an average slope of less than 10 percent. The pre-existing disturbed area of this project covers 25,000 sq. ft. Stage 1 expansion would involve the addition of (1) 22’x24’ storage building on parcel 015-410-51 and an additional (3) 10’x100’ greenhouses over the 3 outdoor light deprivation canopy areas on parcel 015-410-52. These structures would all be placed over previously disturbed ground and no trees would be removed. The storage building would be placed over 2 pre-existing storage sheds, one of which is currently used for trash and petroleum storage; these areas were disturbed prior to December 2018 and no trees or vegetation outside of the disturbed area would be impacted or removed by the addition of this structure. The (3) greenhouses would be built over pre-disturbed canopy area that was established prior to December 2018 and no trees or vegetation outside the pre-existing disturbed area would be removed or impacted. SPECIAL NOTES: The project proposes a second phase of development, “Stage 2 expansion”, that would be implemented in the event of future availability of a second small mixed light license. This approval does not include “Stage 2 expansion” and is only applicable to pre-existing conditions and stage 1 expansion. Should a second small mixed light license become available, either through stacking or separation of the parcels into individual cultivation operations, additional environmental review pursuant to the Trinity County Cannabis Programmatic EIR will be necessary prior to commencing any development activities identified in “Stage 2 expansion”.
