Title
PLN160801-AMD1 - VALLEY MIST LLC
Consider a Minor and Trivial Amendment to previously approved Use Permit (PLN160801) allowing 89,376 square feet of canopy area for mixed-light cannabis cultivation within existing greenhouses, 65,556 square feet of canopy area for nursery operations within existing greenhouses and non-volatile manufacturing within an existing 5,301 square foot metal building in the Farmland zoning district. This amendment would increase the canopy area by 65,000 square feet and result in a total canopy square footage of approximately 220,000 square feet, which will be within the existing greenhouse footprint.
Project Location: 145 Zabala Road, Salinas, Greater Salinas Area Plan
Proposed CEQA action: Find the project Categorically Exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301.

This amendment would increase the canopy area by 65,000 square feet and result in a total canopy square footage of approximately 220,000 square feet, which will be within the existing greenhouse footprint. All previously approved components would remain.
