1 CITY OF LOMITA PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT TO: Planning Commission January 11, 2016 FROM: SUBJECT: Alicia Velasco, Principal Planner Zone Text Amendment (Marijuana Prohibition) PROJECT DESCRIPTION A City-initiated text amendment to the Lomita Municipal Code adding Part 9 to Chapter 1 of Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code, as well as Proposed Amendments to Sections , , , , , , and , to prohibit the Cultivation, Delivery and Dispensing of Medical Marijuana. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending City Council approval of Zone Text Amendment No BACKGROUND In 1996, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 215, entitled the Compassionate Use Act, the intent of which was to enable persons who are in need of medical marijuana to use it without fear of prosecution under limited, specified circumstances. In 2004, the Legislature enacted Senate Bill 420 (referred to as the Medical Marijuana Program) to clarify the scope of Proposition 215 and to provide qualifying patients and primary caregivers who cultivate marijuana with a limited defense to certain specified State criminal statutes. Assembly Bills 2650 (2010) and 1300 (2011) amended the Medical Marijuana Program to expressly recognize the authority of counties and cities to [a]dopt local ordinances that regulate the location, operation, or establishment of a medical marijuana cooperative or collective and to civilly and criminally enforce such ordinances. In 2013, in City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Patients Health and Wellness Center, Inc. 1, the California Supreme Court held that [n]othing in the [Compassionate Use Act] or the [Medical Marijuana Program] expressly or impliedly limits the inherent authority of a local jurisdiction, by its own ordinances, to regulate the use of its land. Additionally, in Maral v. City of Live Oak 2, the Court of Appeal affirmed the ability of local government entities to prohibit the cultivation of marijuana under its land-use authority, holding that there is no right and certainly no constitutional right to cultivate medical marijuana Cal.4 th Cal.App.4 th 975

2 Planning Commission: January 11, 2015 ZTA: Page 2 On October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed three bills into law Assembly Bills 266 and 243, and Senate Bill 643 collectively referred to as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act ( MMRSA ). Prior to the passage of the MMRSA, State law provided no legal mechanism for commercial cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes and Federal law prohibited all cultivation of marijuana. Until the MMRSA was passed, cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes in California was restricted to individual qualified patients or their primary care givers for non-commercial purposes and limited to personal quantities. The MMRSA becomes effective on January 1, 2016 and contains provisions that govern the cultivating, processing, transporting, testing, and distributing of medical marijuana to qualified patients. The MMRSA also contains new statutory provisions that: Set up a dual licensing scheme which requires dispensaries and cultivators to obtain a local license prior to requesting and obtaining a license from the State; no dispensary or cultivation activity may lawfully operate without both a State and local license. Allow the City to completely prohibit the delivery of marijuana by requiring a local government that wishes to prevent marijuana delivery activity 3 from operating within the local government s boundaries to enact an ordinance affirmatively banning such delivery activity (see Business & Professions Code 19340(a)). Preserves the ability of a qualified patient and/or primary caregiver to cultivate for personal, non-commercial purposes, sets new limits on such cultivation, and excepts such personal cultivation from State cultivation licensing requirements. Furthermore, the MMRSA allows local governments to enact ordinances expressing their intent to prohibit the cultivation of marijuana and their intent not to administer a conditional permit program for the cultivation of marijuana (see Health & Safety Code (c)(4)). Expressly provide that the MMRSA does not supersede or limit local law enforcement activity, enforcement of local ordinances, or enforcement of local permit or licensing requirements regarding marijuana (see Bus. & Prof. Code 19315(a)). Expressly provide that the MMRSA does not limit the authority or remedies of a local government under any provision of law regarding marijuana, including but not limited to local governments right to make and enforce within its limits all police regulations not in conflict with general laws (see Bus. & Prof. Code 19316(c)). The MMRSA, however, also states that if a city or county has not adopted land use regulations by March 1, 2016, to either regulate or ban cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes, the State will be the sole authority that issues cultivation licenses in that jurisdiction, meaning no local license will be required. Specifically, Health & Safety Code (a)(4) states: If a city, county, or city and county does not have land use regulations or ordinances regulating or prohibiting the cultivation of marijuana, either expressly or otherwise under principles of permissive zoning, or chooses not to administer a conditional permit program pursuant to this section, then commencing March 1, 2016, the division shall be the sole licensing authority for medical marijuana cultivation applicants in that city, county, or city and county. Commercial medical marijuana activities, as well as cultivation for personal medical use as allowed by the Compassionate Use Act and the Medical Marijuana Program, can adversely affect 3 As defined in Business and Professions Code (m)

3 Planning Commission: January 11, 2015 ZTA: Page 3 the health, safety, and well-being of City residents. Further, as recognized by the Attorney General s August 2008 Guidelines for the Security and Non-Diversion of Marijuana Grown for Medical Use, marijuana cultivation or other concentration of marijuana in any location or premises without adequate security increases the risk that surrounding homes or businesses may be negatively impacted by nuisance activity such as loitering or crime. The limited immunity from specified State marijuana laws provided by the Compassionate Use Act and Medical Marijuana Program does not confer a land use right or the right to create or maintain a public nuisance. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED REVISIONS Until now, the City s land use regulations were not required to expressly prohibit commercial cultivation of medicinal marijuana because it was not legal pursuant to State or Federal law and because such commercial cultivation is not recognized as a specifically allowed use in the City s land use districts. Prior to the effective date of this ordinance, the cultivation, processing and distribution of medical marijuana in the City is prohibited to the extent such activities are prohibited by the Federal Controlled Substances Act, or other law. Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code (the City s Zoning Ordinance) expressly provides that uses which are not specifically permitted are prohibited. As medical marijuana dispensaries are not permitted by right or with a conditional use permit, they are prohibited. Because the Lomita Municipal Code does not currently expressly and separately prohibit the cultivation of marijuana or the delivery of marijuana within the City of Lomita, Chapter 1 of Title XI has historically been applied to prohibit or preclude these types of activities. In order to ensure full local control over regulation of commercial cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes in the City is preserved, the MMRSA requires the City to adopt an express commercial cultivation ordinance by March 1, 2016 to ensure the State is not the sole regulator of cultivation activities. Additionally, the MMRSA also contains language that requires delivery services to be expressly prohibited by local ordinance, if the City wishes to do so. Attached to this staff report is a proposed addition of Part 9 to Chapter 1 of Title XI, as well as proposed amendments to sections , , , , , and , to prohibit the cultivation, delivery and mobile dispensing of marijuana in all zones throughout the City. Alternatively, as opposed to an outright ban, the City may consider regulating medical marijuana deliveries, cultivation and dispensation. For instance, the City may elect to permit cultivation entirely; prohibit only commercial cultivation; or prohibit only personal cultivation. Additionally, the City may wish to allow and regulate the delivery of medical marijuana. For example, such a regulation may permit deliveries to be conducted only within City limits and among City patients and dispensaries. Lastly, the City may choose to allow dispensaries to operate within the City pursuant to the procurement of a State and City license; regulation of dispensaries may include limitations as to the proximity, number and location of such operations. The proposed resolution attached to this report is but one option the City may consider with regard to the regulation of medical marijuana. If adopted, the ordinance will: Add a definition for the terms collective and cultivation, and amend the definition of medical marijuana dispensary, to reflect the newly updated definitions of these terms provided by the MMRSA;

4 Planning Commission: January 11, 2015 ZTA: Page 4 Prohibit the cultivation of marijuana in all zones within the City by expressly listing cultivation as a non-permitted use; Add Article 83 to Part 9 of Title XI ( Zoning ) of the Lomita Municipal Code to extensively regulate the delivery, cultivation and dispensing of marijuana within the City. Specifically, Article 83 will: o Prohibit mobile marijuana dispensaries 4 from operating within the City; o Expressly prohibit deliveries of marijuana both within the City, as well as deliveries to and from the City; o Expressly prohibit the cultivation of marijuana for commercial and noncommercial purposes by any person (including qualified patients and primary caregivers) anywhere in the City; and o Regard any violation of the ordinance to be a nuisance subject to summary abatement, and/or administrative citation, among other enforcement remedies Environmental Determination In accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, adoption of this ordinance is exempt in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of the proposed ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of the proposed ordinance does not have such potential as it is prohibiting uses from development. Therefore, staff has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. Public Notice Notices of this hearing dated December 29, 2015 were published in the Daily Breeze Newspaper, and posted at City Hall, the Lomita Library, and at Lomita Park. As of the date this staff report was prepared, staff has not received any correspondence either for or against the proposed project. Recommended by: Gary Y. Sugano Assistant City Manager Prepared by: AliciaVelasco Alicia Velasco Principal Planner 4 The MMRSA identifies a new business model for the distribution of marijuana: mobile dispensaries. Mobile dispensaries involve the commercial transportation of medical marijuana to qualified patients or caregivers by a dispensary or via any technology platform, which may be independently licensed or owned by the dispensary. According to the provisions of the MMRSA, mobile dispensaries must be expressly identified and banned in order to be prohibited.

6 RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LOMITA RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING CULTIVATION, DELIVERY AND MOBILE DISPENSING OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA BY AMENDING LOMITA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION TO ADD DEFINITIONS FOR COLLECTIVE AND CULTIVATION; AMENDING LOMITA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION TO EXPAND THE DEFNITION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY; AMENDING SECTIONS , , , , AND TO INCLUDE A PROHIBITION ON CULTIVATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA AS A SIMILAR USE; AND ADDING PART 9 TO CHAPTER 1 OF TITLE XI OF THE LOMITA MUNICIPAL CODE TO EXPRESSLY PROHIBIT ALL COMMERCIAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA USES IN THE CITY AND PROHIBITING CULTIVATION FOR MEDICAL USE BY QUALIFIED PATIENTS OR PRIMARY CAREGIVERS THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LOMITA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Recitals A. The City filed the project application Zone Text Amendment with the Planning Department to expressly prohibit all commercial medical marijuana uses in the City and prohibit cultivation for medical use by qualified patients and primary caregivers by amending sections , , , , , , and ; and adding Part 9 to Chapter 1 of Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code (the Project); B. The Project was reviewed by the City s Planning Department for consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the Lomita Municipal Code, among other things; C. The Project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, and it has been determined that the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment. D. On January 11, 2016, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and accepted public testimony. E. The Planning Commission considered the information provided by City staff, public testimony and other evidence regarding the Project. This Resolution, and its findings, are based upon the evidence presented to the Commission at its January 11, 2016 hearing, including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Planning finds that the Developer agrees with the necessity of, and accepts all elements, require Department. Section 2. The Planning Commission does hereby find and declare as follows: A. On October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed three bills into law Assembly Bills 266 and 243, and Senate Bill 643 collectively referred to as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act ( MMRSA ). The MMRSA becomes effective on January 1, 2016 and contains

7 Resolution No. Page 2 provisions that govern the cultivating, processing, transporting, testing, and distributing of medical marijuana to qualified patients. B. The MMRSA, however, also states that if a city or county has not adopted land use regulations by March 1, 2016, to either regulate or ban cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes, the State will be the sole authority that issues cultivation licenses in that jurisdiction, meaning no local license will be required. C. Commercial medical marijuana activities, as well as cultivation for personal medical use as allowed by the Compassionate Use Act and the Medical Marijuana Program, can adversely affect the health, safety, and well-being of City residents. Further, as recognized by the Attorney General s August 2008 Guidelines for the Security and Non-Diversion of Marijuana Grown for Medical Use, marijuana cultivation or other concentration of marijuana in any location or premises without adequate security increases the risk that surrounding homes or businesses may be negatively impacted by nuisance activity such as loitering or crime. D. The Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) does not currently expressly and separately prohibit the cultivation of marijuana or the delivery of marijuana within the City. In order to ensure full local control over regulation of commercial cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes in the City is preserved, the MMRSA requires the City to adopt an express commercial cultivation ordinance by March 1, 2016 to ensure the State is not the sole regulator of cultivation activities. Additionally, the MMRSA also contains language that requires delivery services to be expressly prohibited by local ordinance, if the City wishes to do so. E. The Zoning Ordinance text amendments are consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan because the Project is in the public interest and there are community benefits resulting from the regulation of medical marijuana. F. The Zoning Ordinance text amendments promote the health, safety, and welfare of Lomita residents and serve the goals and purposes of LMC Title XI by ensuring compliance with the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act. G. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that the environmental impacts of the action be assessed. The proposed amendment will not in itself result in any environmental impacts nor will the amendment result in any changes in the physical conditions that exist in the City. Staff has determined the project to be Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines per (b)(3). Section 3. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the Zoning Ordinance text amendments as set forth in Attachment A, which is incorporated by reference. Section 4. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. Section 5. The Planning Commission s analysis and evaluation of the Project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and

8 Resolution No. Page 3 perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the Planning Commission s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework. Section 6. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact. Section 7. The Secretary is directed to transmit the Resolution to the City Clerk for scheduling the matter for consideration by the City Council. Section 8. This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent resolution. PASSED and ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Lomita on this 11 th day of January 2016 by the following vote: AYES: NOES: Commissioners: Commissioners: ABSENT: Commissioners: Jacob Hoy, Chair ATTEST: Gary Y. Sugano Assistant City Manager Any action to challenge the final decision of the City made as a result of the public hearing on this application must be filed within the time limits set forth in Code of Civil Procedure Section
