The proposed cultivation project described herein (Project) includes the cultivation of up to 10,000 square feet (SF) of mixed-light mature canopy located in Trinity County on Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN): 017-440-018. The applicant is seeking a Small Mixed-Light Cannabis Cultivation License from the County (CCL-801) and currently seeking an Adult-Use Small Mixed-Light Tier 1 Cannabis Cultivation License from the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC; CCL19-0003998, Expired on 2021-12-03). Proposed activities would include the cultivation of approx. 9,840 sf of mature outdoor cannabis including the installation of twenty-nine (29) hoop house rows: three (3) 40-foot [ft] long by 6-ft wide; four (4) 50-ft long by 6-ft wide; and twenty-two (22) 60-ft long by 6-ft wide). Note that the planting boxes for 17 of the 29 proposed hoop houses have been installed; however, the hoop houses are not complete, and are not operational (shown as existing on the Site Diagram in Appendix A). These “existing hoop houses” total approximately 0.13 acre (5,820 sf; two (2) 40-ft long by 6-ft wide; one (1) 50-ft long by 6-ft wide; and fourteen (14) 60-ft long by 6-ft wide). Proposed cannabis support structures would include a 120-sf pesticide and cannabis storage shed to be located south of the immature cultivation area, a 300-sf (15’x20’) cannabis waste storage area to be located immediately south of the pesticide and cannabis storage shed, two (2) 2,500-gallon agricultural chemical mixing tanks, four (4) 5,000-gallon water storage tanks to be located north of the mature cultivation area, and portable toilets with a handwash station to be located west of the cultivation premises. Water would be provided through a connection to an existing permitted on-site well, and Electricity on the site is currently provided by a temporary, approximately 3,200-watt generator which is used to operate the well. Electricity provided by Trinity Public Utility District (TPUD) is in the process of being installed and is expected to be complete by April 1, 2024. Once TPUD power is in place, the existing generator would be removed, and all power would be provided by TPUD. Additional support facilities including operations/administration, harvest drying, processing and storage, and pesticide and chemical storage would take place at 980 S. Meadow Lane (APN 017-440-19-00) or another approved off-site facility; the dwelling requirement and project’s waste water needs are met with permitted dwelling and permitted septic on adjoining parcel with same property owner, APN 017-440-19.
