Agenda Item – Staff Report
AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND COMMISSIONERS FROM: JEFFREY O’NEAL, AICP, CITY PLANNER SUBJECT: APPLICATION NO. 20-23, THE VALLEY AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS, LLC COMMERCIAL CANNABIS PROJECT DATE: DECEMBER 29, 2020 ISSUE In the matter of Application No. 20-23, the Valley Agricultural Holdings LLC project, shall the Planning Commission: 1. Make a determination pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, make a determination of General Plan consistency for the disposal of real property, and approve a conditional use permit; and 2. Make recommendations to the City Council regarding a general plan amendment, rezone, and development agreement? BACKGROUND The State of California’s Medical and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) is the primary statute that regulates personal, medicinal, and commercial cannabis activity in the state. In addition to MAUCRSA, Chapters 8.37 (Commercial Cannabis Businesses) and 17.99 (Commercial Cannabis Overly District) of the Mendota Municipal Code (MMC) provide regulations applicable to non-personal cannabis activities at the local level. Pursuant to these local regulations, an applicant wishing to undertake commercial cannabis activities must meet certain location criteria, receive approval of a conditional use permit, and enter into a development agreement with the City. Dating to early 2019, the City has been in discussions with various entities regarding development of a commercial cannabis facility on a portion of a City-owned parcel (APN 013-030-68ST) adjacent to the City’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In October 2019, the City entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Valley Agricultural Holdings, LLC. On October 13, 2020 the Planning Department received an application from Valley Agricultural Holdings, LLC requesting a variety of entitlements and actions to facilitate the construction and operation of a commercial cannabis facility as discussed. -

On appeal to the Board, Appellant argues that the Regional Director failed to consider potential conflicts of land use that would result from taking the land in trust in light of past conflicts over access and use of Appellant’s easement. Appellant contends that due to the possibility of future conflicts regarding use of its easement, the Regional Director erred in failing to place any “enforceable conditions” on the trust title. Appellant also contends that the Regional Director failed to comply with the tribal consultation requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), 54 U.S.C.
