DRC2019-00189 Estrella River Farms LLC Minor Use Permit (ED20-175)

A request by Estrella River Farms LLC for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2019-00189) to allow for the phased establishment of 3 acres of outdoor cannabis cultivation area within hoop structures on two parcels, totaling 79 acres. The project includes the use of an existing 2,170-square-foot structure for office and security monitoring uses. The project would result in approximately 130,680 square feet (3 acres) of site disturbance. Proposed earthwork would be limited to the installation of fencing and improvements to the existing driveway approach. The project would require the modification of the fencing standards set forth in LUO Section 22.40.050 to allow for the use of livestock fencing with no-climb mesh wiring and barbed wire to enclose four of the five cultivation areas. The project site is located within the Agriculture land use designation at 5165 Estrella River Road, approximately 1 mile northwest of the community of Whitley Gardens and 4 miles east of the city of Paso Robles in the El Pomar-Estrella subarea of the North County Planning Area.
