At 9:05 a.m., the commission will hold a public hearing to consider a parcel map to divide a 6.57-acre property to create two new parcels, and consideration of a categorical exemption to the California Environmental Quality Act.
The owner, Castlewood Estates LLC, is proposing a two parcel land division at 6763 Collier Ave., APN 031-071-18.
The staff report said the parcel would be divided into two equally-sized parcels, each at 3.26 acres. The first parcel contains an orchard, the second contains a high density dwelling development. There is no new development proposed or contemplated by the developer.
At 9:10 a.m., commissioners are scheduled to hold a public hearing to consider a major use permit for 12 commercial cannabis licenses sought by BG Property Management LLC for an operation to be located at 9200, 9100 and 8722 Highland Springs Road, Lakeport, APNs 007-006-45, 10 and 43.
The project consists of 346,667 square feet of outdoor cannabis cultivation, 48,000 square feet of indoor (greenhouse) cannabis cultivation, a 10,000 square foot drying building, an A-Type 4 nursery license, a Type 13 self-distribution licenses and consideration of adoption of a mitigated negative declaration.
The staff report said that, according to water use studies of Northern California, cannabis plants use approximately 5.99 gallons of water per day. “It has also been documented through CalCannabis’ Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report that outdoor cannabis uses between 25-35 inches of water per year. Based on these ranges, the project’s Water Use Management Plan included as part of the Property Management Plan estimates that the project’s water demand would be between 4,860,640 to 6,075,801 gallons (best case) and 7,290,961 to 8,506,121 gallons (worst case) with an average estimate of 4,860,640 gallons per year.”
The report said water consumption would vary, with the highest consumption occurring during the summer months — June, July, August and September.
