Penman Springs is not the place for a cannabis farm. It is a place where people live, go wine tasting, and ride horses. There are children taking riding lessons next to where they are wanting to put this in. They do not need to be exposed to a cannabis farm nor should anybody else in that area.

I live on Penman Springs Road. Water is a huge problem here. We had to truck in water to irrigate the small vineyard to not risk the available water for the residents. Due to the drought, we lost our well. We don't want the odor and we don't want strangers coming on the ranch.

I have been a San Luis Obispo resident for 48 years. Even though I reside in the South County I see the extreme water usage for all of the cannabis projects throughout the County. We are now in a State of Emergency for water! It's time to stop these projects from ruining our depleting water tables!!

My wife and I are totally opposed to this or any of the cannabis operations within close proximity to residential communities. Not to mention the extreme fire danger this type of manufacturing and harvesting process in known to create.

Two leading issues (of many) with a cannabis grow sited like this one: Odors, which even with indoor grows, cannot be sufficiently mitigated; stress on the groundwater basin, also not mitigated as cannabis is not held to the same offset requirements as other crops.

The East side of Paso is not able to plant grapes due to water shortage however they are allowing cannabis farming which takes significantly more water than vines. In addition to the rest of the objections, which are completely valid, how is this acceptable?

We are shocked as neighbors for the negativity this brings to our neighborhood on so many levels.

Please Please!! Do not allow this cannabis farm in this area. We have our children riding horses enjoying this property and enjoying the freedom it provides. I have boarded in other areas not far and the homeless are coming in the riverbed close to these properties bringing needles and syringes I have seen sexual activity in the bushes riding by the bridge north of this area. We have seniors living close by. It does not seem like a good fit.next to so many private homes. Please, reconsider other options in other areas away from private homes.
