The Department of Cannabis Control has approved a Small Outdoor commercial cannabis license for Lantern Farms of Mendocino, authorizing 9,900 square feet of outdoor cultivation under Business and Profession Code Section 26012. The operation will rely on a permitted well as its sole water source, with an estimated annual water use of 150,000 gallons. Two small sheds will be constructed on site for the storage of pesticides, agricultural chemicals, and harvested material, but no processing, packaging, or cultivation of immature plants will take place. The site requires no grading or earthwork, and all activities are confined to the licensed outdoor cultivation area. The license was submitted on February 11, 2026, and officially approved with the identifier LCA26-0000140. The project is located in Ukiah, California, with a zip code of 95482, and is under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Cannabis Control. Environmental oversight and inquiries are managed by Peter Buchman, the Environmental Scientist, who can be reached at 844-612-2322 or via email at environmentalreview@cannabis.ca.gov.

No set-aside type or NAICS code is applicable, and the project remains focused solely on compliant outdoor cultivation without expansion into other cannabis operations.
