Cannabis cultivation business operations

We will ask you for the following information on the cultivation operations form of the cannabis business application.

We will ask you for the total amount of square feet you plan on using for cultivation, including vertical shelving.

For dedicated cultivators, this space cannot be over 22,000 square feet.  For microbusinesses doing cultivation, this space cannot be over 10,000 square feet.

Your nursery area does not count toward total cultivation space. However, you cannot sell your immature plants.

We will also ask you for the total wattage used by your lighting, across cultivation and nursery spaces.

We will ask if you will use a source other than City water.

If you are not using City water, we will ask for:

• Name of your water source

We will ask which of the legal pesticides you will use.

We will ask for the chemical name of any fertilizers you will use.
