Cannabis Cultivation at 30 Hegenberger Loop

The project at 30 Hegenberger Loop in Oakland, California, involves the operation of a cannabis cultivation facility utilizing approximately 13,000 square feet of an existing 13,050 square foot commercial building. The applicant, IVXX Gardens I, Inc., has obtained environmental compliance approvals under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically relying on categorical exemptions for use of an existing facility and consistency with local zoning and community plans. Administrative filings, including a Notice of Exemption and a Mitigated Negative Declaration, have been submitted and accepted, confirming the project’s classification as exempt from detailed environmental review. Fees totaling $4,227.50 for state filing, $50.00 for county handling, and an additional $3,043.75 for a prior environmental review have been paid to the Alameda County Clerk, with payments made via check or cash and tied to receipt number 01-03/27/2026-090 and accounting reference 3955260. Oversight and permitting authority rests with the City of Oakland’s Planning and Building Department, with Erica Baptiste serving as the primary point of contact and Ed Manasse acting as the Environmental Review Officer. There is no formal contract or procurement process; instead, the activity is governed by local municipal code chapters 5.80 and 5.81, which regulate commercial cannabis operations. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, solicitation numbers, contract types, evaluation factors, or delivery schedules are applicable, nor are there requirements for packaging, inspection criteria, or performance metrics beyond adherence to environmental exemptions and zoning compliance. All submissions are made in physical paper form to the Alameda County Clerk or Oakland Planning Department, with no electronic submission options available, and no term, delivery schedule, or financial value is defined beyond the one-time administrative fees paid for regulatory compliance.
