Gravenstein Highway/Meier Road

The Gravenstein Highway/Meier Road project involves the operation and development of an outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation facility located at 2515 Gravenstein Highway South and 2409 Meier Road in Sebastopol, California. Managed by the Department of Cannabis Control and the applicant Patchwork Farms, the project encompasses a total of 50,000 square feet of mature canopy across two contiguous parcels. The facility utilizes water provided by the City of Santa Rosa and does not use electricity or natural gas. The project is governed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act, which ensures that the operation will not have a significant environmental effect, provided specific mitigation measures are followed. Key operational requirements include strict adherence to the California Fire Code and the use of ADA-compatible portable restrooms. Environmental protections focus on biological and tribal cultural resources, requiring cultural awareness training and tribal monitoring. The project must follow specific best management practices for erosion, sediment control, and water pollution. Additionally, all materials must be stored in original containers on pallets and covered during the rainy season. All cannabis products must be tested by a licensed laboratory prior to sale in accordance with state regulations. The project was officially approved on June 2, 2026, following a comprehensive environmental review and a public comment period.
