operate a 116,320 square foot cannabis cultivation facility on

APN 059-110-024 on the south side of Avenue 344 between Road 196 and State

Route 216. The project requires a zone change and annexation before the facility

can be considered for cannabis cultivation.

The proposed cannabis project will require the annexation of APN 059-110-024

into the City of Woodlake. The 7.72-acre parcel is currently outside the City of

Woodlake limits but within the City of Woodlake Sphere of Influence and is

consistent with the City’s General Plan with the Industrial land use designation.

The site is currently an abandoned packing house.

In addition to the above-mentioned annexation, the City of Woodlake is proposing

to include APNs 059-090-022, 059-110-029 and -002 in the annexation

application.

Tenant improvements to an abandoned citrus packing facility will accommodate:

• Approximately 91,229 square feet of cultivation

• 11,600 square feet of drying space

• 2,260 square feet for storage.

• Installation of curb, gutter, and 5’ sidewalk along the frontage of the facility on

Avenue 344.

• Installation of a new drive approach with security gate on Avenue 344,

approximately

60 feet east of the existing drive approach to be removed. 2

• Install a security gate on the existing western ingress/egress along Avenue 344.

• Installation of perimeter security, including lighting, fencing and an alarm system,

in accordance with Chapter 5.48 of the Woodlake Municipal Code.

• Annexation into the City of Woodlake

• Zone Amendment from Tulare County Industrial (M-1) to City of Woodlake

Light

Industrial (LI)

• Conditional Use Permit to operate under a Cannabis Business License

A notice was circulated for the IS/MND and the City received comments from

Caltrans requesting City coordination and that considerations be made regarding

the size and locations of the drive approaches.

The proposed project was found to not have a significant effect on the

environment because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by

the project proponent. Mayor Mendoza opened the meeting for public comment.
