Document Description
The Project proposes a GPA to change the land use designation of two parcels (APN 025-020-013 and 025-040-002) from “Rural Residential” to “Specific Plan” and a specific plan (SP) to construct and operate a commercial cannabis production, processing, and distribution facility at 23555 Highway 6 (APN 025-020-013), with the owner/operator living on site. The SP would establish permitted land uses and required development standards, and incorporate a Conditional Use Permit for commercial cannabis and an overhead utility line. Commercial cannabis totaling 8,640 square feet would be cultivated on site starting outdoors and then transitioning into three greenhouses. Greenhouses would be equipped with light-emitting diodes (LED) for supplemental light and automatic black-out curtains to prevent light leakage from dusk to dawn. A facility on-site would be used for processing and packaging the cannabis. The business would then distribute product to off-site retailers. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was certified for the project and a Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Plan was adopted.
