A Southern California Edison transmission line easement extends along the project site’s north side. Water lines are available in Holly Road to the west of the site and sewer lines are located near Holly Road and Verbena. Off-Site Improvements. The applicant will be required to construct all street improvements including sidewalk, curd, and gutter for proposed A street and a portion of Holly Road and Daisy Road where the project site maintains frontage and will be required to provide paved access to meet any and all Fire Department requirements. Security. On-site security will be provided twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week by security guards. In addition, security fencing, cameras, and shielded security lighting that would conform with all municipal lighting regulations will be installed on the premises. The entire project would employ an estimated 152 full-time equivalent employees over three shifts, seven days a week. The hours of on-site operations for the proposed new development will be Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and 24-hours a day security. The analysis assumes that the facility, in its entirety, will operate as a cannabis facility and will be operated by a single operator. The scope of the IS/MND addresses the construction of the proposed project in its entirety. The California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) requires an annual-license applicant to provide operation-specific evidence of exemption from, or compliance with, CEQA (4 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15010). If a local jurisdiction prepares a site-specific CEQA compliance document, or record of decision for the conclusion that no further CEQA documentation is required, it improves the efficiency with which DCC can issue annual licenses for projects located within that jurisdiction. The facility will be closed to the public at all times. Non-employees such as vendors, delivery persons, and maintenance personnel, will only be allowed to enter the facility with a permitted escort. The proposed project requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish the commercial cannabis adult and medical use cultivation/manufacturing/distribution within the Manufacturing Industrial (MI) Zoning District; a Location and Development Plan (LDP) for the design and layout of the proposed project; and a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the property into nine (9) lots and (1) dedicated public street “A” street. CONSTRUCTION PHASING: The project is proposed to be developed as one phase with TPM No. 20590 being completed first. Each proposed parcel will be required to submit and go through its own plan check and review process and comply with all zoning and development standards as proposed.

The project will expand the necessary MI uses contemplated by the City’s Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan and General Plan.

More specifically, the project implements Chapter 3 (Economic Development) by providing for job creation, infrastructure expansion and revenue generation. As conditioned, the project is also consistent with the surrounding zoning land uses. The project is in compliance with the applicable MI development and design standards, policies and guidelines outlined in the City’s Zoning Code.

The property is currently vacant and undeveloped land containing a few Joshua Trees and high desert scrub vegetation. The site has been disturbed with unauthorized off-road vehicle activity that has left a number of paths on the site. No significant drainages are present on the site. Fire Lanes will be

CUP 22-14, LDP 22-11, TPM 20590 July 5, 2023 8 established around the perimeter of the buildings as required by County Fire Codes. Access to the project site will be controlled by gated entries and is proposed to be provided driveway connections from the proposed ‘A” Street and from Daisy Road and Holly Road. A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared for the project. It is estimated that the project, at build-out when all ten buildings are occupied and operational, will be generate a total of 384 Average Daily Trips (ADT). The analysis of potential impacts related to traffic and circulation indicated that no significant adverse impacts would result from the proposed project’s approval and subsequent implementation. As a result, no mitigation measures are required. OFF-SITE STREET IMPROVEMENTS: As per the conditions of approval detailed by the City Engineer, the Project applicant will also be responsible for dedicating right-of-way and constructing various off-site improvements as well as utility tie-ins, etc., as well as payment of relevant Development Impact Fees (DIF). More Specifically, the applicant is required to provide: a. Daisy Road shall be constructed to half-width and join with existing street improvements at Pansy Road, curb to centerline consisting of a minimum of 3 inches of asphalt concrete over 4 inches of Class 2 base material, or per “R” value test for a Traffic Index (TI) of 8.0, whichever is greater, 6" concrete curb and gutters, and six-foot wide sidewalks, per City Standard 109 Type C. b.

CUP 22-14, LDP 22-11, TPM 20590 July 5, 2023 9 Prior to start of construction, construction operators must obtain coverage under a NPDES permit, which is administered by the State. AIR QUALITY: The Project site is located within the Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District. The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) has established quantitative thresholds for short-term (construction) emissions and long- term (operational) emissions for the criteria pollutants. The proposed project does not present a significant adverse environmental impact and the applicant will be required to obtain any required permits from the Mojave Desert AQMD prior to any construction activities on the project site. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: An Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the project in accordance with the City’s guidelines, which implements the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The IS was undertaken for the purpose of determining whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the IS, staff concluded that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate environmental document for the project. Pursuant to §15703 (a) of CEQA, the IS/ MND was circulated for a 30-day period (SCH #2023050358) between May 5, 2023 through June 13, 2023 to Responsible Agencies, and interested parties for review and comment and no new effects were identified during the 30-day public comment period. During the draft IS/MND review period, the Draft IS/MND was available for public review at the Development Services public counter and posted on the City’s website. All potential effects of the proposed project have been reduced to less than significant levels with the implementation of mitigation measures. Therefore, a final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. Staff received comment from State of California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Their comments were addressed in the draft IS/MND.
