Adelanto planning commission approves permit for cannabis cultivation at Panther and Joshua
Summary
On June 5 the Adelanto Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit and location development plan allowing a commercial medical and adult-use cannabis cultivation facility on roughly 2.8 acres at Panther and Joshua avenues, adopting a mitigated negative declaration and subjecting the project to conditions of approval.
The Adelanto Planning Commission on June 5 approved a conditional use permit and location development plan that would allow a commercial medical and adult-use cannabis cultivation facility at the northeast corner of Panther Avenue and Joshua Avenue.
Project planner Naika Allen told the commission staff recommended adoption of Resolution 24-06 and the associated mitigated negative declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2024050089) and approval of Conditional Use Permit 23-09 and Location Development Plan 23-11. Allen said the proposal calls for seven prefabricated buildings — two manufacturing buildings of about 3,500 square feet each and five greenhouses of about 4,960 square feet each — totaling approximately 31,800 square feet of floor area on about 2.8 acres. She said the site plan shows 23 parking spaces including ADA parking and that the development meets the light-manufacturing zone’s standards.
According to Allen, the project would include 24/7 security, gated entries and cameras, and the applicant has indicated an employment goal of about 50% Adelanto residents. Allen summarized staff’s recommendation: “Staff recommendation is to adopt Resolution 24-06 to adopt the mitigated negative declaration, State Clearinghouse number 2024050089, and approve Conditional Use Permit 23-09 and Location Development Plan 23-11…subject to conditions of approval.”
Commissioners asked whether Southern California Edison (SCE) transmission-line easements that run near the site would restrict access or prevent paving and parking beneath transmission lines. Allen said the applicant must receive and satisfy any conditions from SCE and that those conditions were not available for the staff report. An applicant representative told the commission the applicant had proposed access under the lines previously and that SCE declined to allow access roads under its transmission lines.
Chair Wagner moved to adopt Resolution P24-06 and approve CUP 23-09 and LDP 23-11; Commissioner Terry seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote recorded as three ayes and no nays. The commission’s approval was made subject to the findings and standard conditions in the staff report.
The commission did not specify an appeal deadline on the record during the meeting; staff noted conditions of approval will need to be satisfied and SCE conditions addressed before final permits are issued.
