Production will take place entirely inside a 10,080 square foot, 23 foot tall greenhouse to control light, odor and sound, under building permit BLD17-00093. Project shall comply with all applicable JCC sections, including JCC 18.20.295 Recreational Marijuana, and JCC 18.40.530 Conditional Use criteria.

The project is exempt from SEPA review under WAC 197-11-800(1)(d) and JCC 18.40.750(1)(d).
