The Department of Cannabis Control approved a Specialty Cottage Indoor Cultivation License for 5D 1S LLC, operated by Patrick Barros, to conduct cannabis cultivation at 2857 Niagara Ave in Colusa, California. The licensed operation includes up to 500 square feet of indoor canopy within a 7,200-square-foot commercial building and 12,000 square feet of mixed-light canopy across four 3,000-square-foot greenhouses, with no changes proposed to the building’s exterior or total square footage. All operations will rely on grid-supplied electricity and retail water services, and the project has been determined eligible for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under California’s Environmental Quality Act, confirming minimal environmental impact and alignment with local zoning and land use plans. The license was submitted on June 6, 2025, and the public forecast notice was posted on January 30, 2026, with environmental review handled by the Department’s Environmental Evaluation Office in Rancho Cordova.
