At 9:05 a.m., the commission will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed major use permit and categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act for Esther Formula USA Corp.
The report to the commission explains that the company is seeking to amend an existing major use permit to discontinue the permitted commercial cannabis manufacturing and distribution and commence processing, manufacturing and distribution of dietary supplements at 4615 Work Right Circle in Lakeport.
Esther Formula began in Korea, and the US corporation was established in 2022, according to the company’s five-year business plan included in the agenda packet.
The staff report explained that while the amendment of the major use permit will not include commercial cannabis uses, the company’s plan does include incorporating cannabidiol — or CBD, a nonpsychoactive compound derived from hemp — products within the product line.
“CBD derived from hemp is not regulated by the County of Lake, rather the manufacturers are required to register with the California Department of Public Health for testing and labeling requirements of CBD products,” the staff report explains.
