The City of Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation has issued an approval and determination record for Vita Viridis, Inc. to operate a commercial cannabis plant nursery at 14742 W Calvert Street, Van Nuys, California. This project involves the conversion of an existing indoor small cultivation application into an annual license.

The operation is located in a Light Manufacturing M2-1 zone and is classified as an environmentally benign infill project, granting it a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15332. Operational specifications include the use of LED lighting operating at 60 percent power, walls with a minimum R-value of 20, and a commitment to recycle all soil and organic waste. All cannabis waste must be handled by a licensed third party in compliance with Public Resources Code section 40191 and Health and Safety Code section 25117. Logistics involve UPS trips occurring daily or every other day and plant deliveries once per week. The licensee must maintain compliance with Los Angeles Municipal Code Sections 104.00 and 105.00 and obtain necessary permits from various agencies, including the Los Angeles Fire Department, Department of Building and Safety, and the California Department of Cannabis Control.
