Agenda Item
4 21-1377 9:20 A.M. Public Hearing on Consideration of Major Use Permit (UP 20-74) and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS 20-87). The applicant Mountain Green Farms, LLC/Cheryl Forberg is proposing for a cannabis cultivation operation to allow 21,000 square feet of mixed-light canopy area (Located within seven 3,000 square foot greenhouses) and 43,560 square feet of outdoor canopy area located within a total of 67,080 square feet cultivation area. The project includes a processing/drying building, a shed for fertilizer and pesticide storage, four 2,500 gallon water tanks, security, and a perimeter fence. The project is located at 7661 State Highway 29, Kelseyville, CA; and further described as APN(s): 009-022-33.
a full environmental impact report should be required of the applicant before further consideration of a Major Use Permit is allowed. So many cumulative environmental impacts are not addressed. Cannabis is Not an agricultural crop - this does not match with the IS. Air quality and odors are not addressed fully. Hydrology and water quality needs to be updated and more extensive. An EIR should be done before permitting. Thank you.

Hi Rich
Today we received a copy of the letter you sent to the Planning Commission and to our County Planner, Victor Fernandez.
When we applied for our cannabis permit in August of 2020, you were the first neighbor I informed. You didn't express any concerns at the time, and we are surprised that you didn't express any concerns to us now. We could have answered most of your questions and would appreciate the opportunity to do so. There are multiple misconceptions in your letter and we would appreciate the opportunity to clarify several points.
Can we please set up a call to talk about this?
thanks alot
Cheryl
