The cannabis operation would employ up to 10 full-time positions, including 2 full-time security guards, an on-site manager, and up to 7 cultivation, processing, and harvest staff. The project is located on a 37.02-acre parcel. Zoning on the parcel is Land Extensive Agriculture 100-acre density, Accessory Dwelling Unit Exclusion (LEA B6 100, Z). The proposed project is located in Supervisorial District 2.
