DCR CORE RECORD NO. 200364

The City of Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation has approved a commercial cannabis cultivation operation at 9100 N Independence Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311, under DCR CORE RECORD NO. 200364, authorizing Indy's Best, LLC to operate an indoor cultivation facility within an existing 15,000 square foot building that includes a 4,000 square foot canopy structure. The project operates Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM with minimal weekend access and averages approximately 150 kWh of daily energy use, with no expansion of the physical footprint or alteration of impervious surfaces proposed. The facility is classified under MR2-1 Light Manufacturing zoning and aligns with the City’s General Plan and local regulations, qualifying for a Class 1 and Class 32 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15332, eliminating the need for further environmental analysis. Compliance has been confirmed with multiple municipal and state agencies including the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Fire Department, Department of Public Health, and the California Department of Cannabis Control, with required permits secured or pending. The project lies within an Opportunity Zone and Los Angeles State Enterprise Zone, potentially qualifying for incentive programs, though no formal socioeconomic certifications or federal small business designations were submitted. No formal federal acquisition contract structure exists; this is a municipal licensing action under LAMC Section 104.06, not a procurement contract, and therefore lacks FAR clauses, pricing data, payment terms, inspection protocols, delivery schedules, or contract administration details typical of federal systems. Oversight and acceptance are managed by the City’s Department of Cannabis Regulation, with the operator responsible for ongoing compliance with all applicable health, safety, environmental, and licensing requirements. The approval was finalized on July 16, 2025, following submission on May 7, 2025, with no amendments or modifications indicated.
