BANNING, CA — A business-to-business cannabis manufacturing facility was recently approved for Banning, and the company projects annual cannabis cultivation tax revenue to reach $250,000 once the operation is up and running.

With a 4-0 vote during the Sept. 27 Banning City Council meeting, councilmembers approved

a conditional use permit to allow for commercial cannabis manufacturing — using non-volatile methods — within an existing industrial building at 195 East Lincoln Street.

The long-vacant 6,310-square-foot building is located within the city’s industrial zoning. The permit applicant was Jeffrey Michael Martinez of Tres Jotas Properties, LP.

According to the conditional use permit, the company will be manufacturing three main cannabis products: live resin, cannabis oil and distillate.

“The activity [at the Banning site] will include the extraction of oil from raw cannabis flower using a low-pressure, closed-loop, non-volatile solvent-based extraction machine,” according to city documents. The applicant aims to get six extraction machines.

As a business-to-business operation, the facility will be closed to the public. More than 99% of sales will be outside of Banning, according to the applicant.

Security measures on site will include 22 cameras, steel-reinforced doors with bars, and barred windows, according to the applicant.
