Grow 9 Organic INC LCA24-0000682

Grow 9 Organic, Inc. has been approved for a Small Indoor Commercial Cannabis License by the California Department of Cannabis Control under Business and Professions Code Section 26012, with the license identifier LCA24-0000682, submitted on September 10, 2024, and publicly posted on September 25, 2025. The project involves the reconfiguration and rehabilitation of Building 9, a 12,312-square-foot facility located at 2805 Lenwood Road in Barstow, California, within a 42-acre commercial parcel zoned for mixed industrial and commercial use. The facility will support a total indoor cannabis cultivation canopy of 6,395 square feet, including 5,482 square feet of mature and 913 square feet of immature plant areas, equipped with high-energy lighting systems, HVAC infrastructure, and environmental controls necessary for compliant cultivation. The site is situated along Interstate 15 in a developed urban area with existing retail and industrial uses, but faces limitations in local electrical capacity, requiring energy-efficient design and operational planning. The operation is fully subject to state and local regulations, including DCC licensing standards and Barstow municipal ordinances, and has been determined eligible for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15332, affirming its status as an infill development with minimal environmental impact and no threat to endangered species or public utilities. Compliance with CEQA requirements mandates public availability of the environmental record, and all activities must align with the general plan and zoning designations. There is no identified contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule, or federal procurement structure, as this is a state licensing action rather than a federal contract, and no standard FAR clauses, packaging specifications, labeling requirements, or invoicing systems are applicable. The primary point of contact for environmental and regulatory oversight is Peter Buchman, Environmental Scientist with the Department of Cannabis Control, with administrative correspondence routed through the Rancho Cordova office. The company is recognized as a small business under the state’s licensing framework, though no other socioeconomic certifications are claimed, and no federal representations or contract administration mechanisms such as COR, COTR, or accounting codes are present.
