DAJA LLC

DAJA LLC is proposing a cannabis cultivation project in Nevada City, California, operating within hoop houses using only natural light, with no artificial lighting employed. The project involves cultivating 9,996 square feet of mature cannabis and 2,448 square feet of immature cannabis, supported by on-site activities including composting, storage, processing, and packaging. All water requirements will be met by a permitted on-site well, with a cap of 150,000 gallons annually, and sewage will be handled through an existing septic system. Energy for the operation will be entirely supplied by on-site solar panels, with no reliance on PG&E or other utility providers. The project has been reviewed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which determined no Lake or Streambed Alteration Notification is required, and environmental compliance has been confirmed under Water Quality Order WQ 2023-0102-DWQ. Local CEQA approval has been secured under the categorical exemption for minor alterations to land, and the project aligns with Nevada County’s approved mixed-light cannabis zoning despite the absence of artificial lighting. An expired license held by Gaudy Farms LLC on the same property does not impact the current application. The project is associated with a forecast notice issued by the California Department of Cannabis Control, with the Place of Performance identified as Nevada City, CA, 95959. While there is no formal contract value, pricing, or delivery schedule disclosed, the application demonstrates compliance with all environmental, water, and land use requirements necessary for a Small Outdoor Commercial Cannabis License. No federal contract clauses, representations, certifications, or procurement specifications were present or applicable in this state-regulated cannabis licensing context.
