DCR CORE RECORD NO. 200020

The project involves the operation of a small indoor cannabis cultivation facility at 14742 W Calvert Street in Van Nuys, California, under the licensing authority of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation. The facility, operated by Vita Viridis, Inc., is licensed as a Type 2A small nursery-only cultivation site with an immature canopy under 5,000 square feet and does not engage in flowering. Operations are strictly confined to existing structures without expansion of footprint or impervious surfaces, and are conducted on a limited schedule from Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The project is environmentally benign and qualifies for Class 1 and Class 32 Categorical Exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, as it uses existing facilities within an urbanized area with adequate infrastructure and presents no significant environmental impacts, including no identified seismic, methane, or hazardous material hazards. No further environmental analysis is required, and a Notice of Exemption has been duly filed. The facility utilizes 100% LED lighting operating at 60% capacity, recycles or composts all organic waste, and disposes of cannabis waste through licensed third parties, aligning with state and local environmental and waste management codes. Vehicle traffic is limited to 6–10 trips per day, supplemented by 1–2 UPS or mail deliveries daily and one weekly plant shipment. The approval process was not competitive but rather regulatory, based solely on compliance with CEQA exemptions and adherence to zoning under the M2-1 classification, consistent with the City’s General Plan and municipal codes. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, payment terms, invoicing method, or accounting data provided, as this is a municipal licensing and environmental compliance action rather than a traditional procurement contract. No Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contract deliverables, inspection protocols, packaging requirements, or contracting officer designations are applicable or included, as the document lacks the structure of a federal contract and instead serves as a land use and environmental approval record. The point of contact for the project is Jason Killeen, Assistant Executive Director of the Department of Cannabis Regulation, with Edward Chavez serving as Neighborhood Liaison. The facility operates under a California Department of Cannabis Control provisional license, and all activities are subject to oversight by local agencies including the Department of Building and Safety and the State Water Resources Control Board, but no formal acceptance
