LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A formal appeal has been filed with the county of Lake that’s seeking to overturn the Lake County Planning Commission’s decision last month to permit a large cannabis operation near the Hidden Valley Lake community, with a hearing set before the Board of Supervisors next month.

At its April 22 meeting, the commission voted unanimously to approve a major use permit and initial study sought by Zarina Otchkova, owner of WeGrow LLC.

Otchkova is planning the commercial cannabis cultivation operation on a portion of a 309-acre property she purchased in 2020 at 16750 Herrington Road, 17610 Sandy Road and 19678 Stinson Road in Middletown.

The project calls for 35 greenhouses, four 50-foot by 100-foot drying buildings, a 200-square-foot shed, four 2,500-gallon water tanks and fencing. The total cultivation area will cover nine acres.

The commission received input from numerous community members concerned about the project’s potential impact on quality of life and water supply, among other issues.

The Lake County Zoning Ordinance provides for a seven calendar day appeal period.

The Lake County Community Development Department’s Planning Division received the appeal on April 28, with the required $1,136.30 appeal fee, according to county documents.

The appellant is the Shadow Ridge Subdivision.

The appeal document — which says it is also filed on behalf of the Dohnery Ridge, Shadow Hills and Rim Ranch subdivisions, as well as numerous residents of Hidden Valley Lake and the Ranchos — cites numerous issues, chief among them, unpermitted building, inadequate water analysis, road maintenance, lighting, a site plan map that doesn’t match the one in the agenda for the commission’s public hearing, energy usage, sewage disposal, air quality and conformity with the Middletown Area Plan.

Otchkova’s consultant, Lake County Planning Consultants, did not respond to an emailed request for comment.

Johanna DeLong, assistant clerk of the Board of Supervisors, said the appeal will go before the board at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 8.
