Document Description
The applicant, Monte Cristo Vineyards, LLC, is requesting approval of a Major Use Permit for commercial cannabis cultivation, to allow up to twenty-two (22) A-Type 3 “Medium Outdoor” licenses, with a combined outdoor canopy area of 958,320 ft2. Proposed ancillary facilities include a 120 ft2 Security Center/Shed, a 6,000 ft2 Processing & Harvest Storage Facility, two 3,000 ft2 Immature Plant Areas/Greenhouses, and two 120 ft2 Pesticides & Agricultural Chemicals Storage Areas. The cultivation operation will be established within an existing vineyard in the western half of the Project Property. Cultivation areas will be secured with six (6) foot tall wire fences with privacy mesh where necessary to screen the cultivation/canopy area(s) from public view. All water for the cultivation operation will come from five existing onsite groundwater wells and an existing onsite 20-acrefoot off-stream water storage reservoir. Lake County Zoning Ordinance, Article 27, subsections (at) in part regulates cannabis cultivation in the County. The 452-acre property is large enough to support the proposed cannabis licenses; 20 acres per license is required (minimum lot size requirement of 440-acres). The property is pre-enrolled with the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The applicant must meet all applicable local, state, and federal requirements for cannabis cultivation.
