1) Approximately 715,000 square feet of canopy area for commercial cannabis cultivation/nursery in existing greenhouses within reconstructed greenhouses;
2) Approximately 10,000 square feet of processing/manufacturing operations, including drying, trimming, curing, and nonvolatile manufacturing within an existing building.
