The project consists of 4,320 ft² of mixed-light cannabis cultivation, 4,800 ft2 of outdoor cannabis cultivation, and construction of associated support buildings totaling 1,320 ft². Cannabis support areas currently total 1,496 ft². Eventually, the outdoor garden will be converted to a mixed-light garden by installing PVC frame hoop tunnels by hand and using light deprivation, such that all 9,120 ft2 of mature canopy will be mixed-light. Water for the project is provided by an on-site groundwater well. An on-site septic system serves the project’s domestic wastewater needs. Access to the project site is via Mad River Road, which is a county maintained road.

Reasons for Exemption
The Department of Cannabis Control has determined that the project is consistent with the local jurisdiction community plan and/or zoning designations. CEQA mandates that project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified and shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. The project activity fits within the parameters included in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and the activity does not require additional CEQA analysis.
