The Hollister Planning Commission on Aug. 22 postponed its decision on two large cannabis growing operations at the request of the applicants.
Felipe Nine, LLC is seeking approval to construct 220,000 square feet of greenhouses for a cannabis cultivation facility on 773 San Felipe Road. Just a few hundred feet down the road, Wright Thirteen, LLC has proposed 340,000 square feet of greenhouses for another cultivation facility near the intersection of San Felipe and Wright roads.
Geary Coats, representing both companies, said there are still conditions of approval that need to be worked out with the city.
The commission voted to postpone its decision to Sept. 12.
