Document Description
The Project will consist of a cannabis cultivation, distribution, non-volatile manufacturing and microbusiness on an existing site zoned for light manufacturing, C2-2D-O-CPIO, at 770 East Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90021 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 5131-007-001). It will operate out of an existing 16700 SF building on a lot area of 14298 SF. The Project-Specific Information Form (LIC-4013-FORM) (Exhibit A) submitted by the Applicant indicates the project site is currently used for cannabis cultivation, and that the Applicant would add distribution and non-volatile manufacturing activities. The Applicant intends to perform minor interior alterations to approximately 16,850 square feet of cannabis cultivation and office area but would not expand existing structures. Proposed distribution activities would include the packaging, labeling and wholesale distribution of cannabis products on site. Proposed manufacturing would include extraction of cannabinoids, post-processing (refinement) of cannabis extract, infusion of extract or plant material with other ingredients, and packaging/labeling cannabis products. Proposed cultivation activities include preparing the soil and growing medium, planting seeds or clones, irrigating, fertilizing, and managing pests, harvesting plants, drying, curing and trimming plants. Micro-business licenses allow for cannabis businesses to do at least three of the following: cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and/or retail. Existing City sewer service is provided to the project site, and water and electricity are provided by the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Proposed operations would have a total of seven employees with hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with 24/7 on-site security. Pre-application review has found the project to be consistent with planning and zoning. Further project site information is provided in the Project Parcel Profile Report from the City’s Zone Information and Map Access System (ZIMAS) (Exhibit B). Compliance with Los Angeles Municipal Code Sections 104.00 et seq. and 105.00 et seq., as well as DCR’s Rules and Regulations, does not waive or otherwise circumvent any other City or State requirements or necessary permits from the City, State, or other public agencies, such as the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, the Los Angeles Fire Department, or the Los Angeles County Public Health Department.
