File ID: 2017-01333 Public Hearing Item 18 Description/Analysis Issue Detail: Over the past two years the City Council has adopted a series of ordinances creating a set of regulations to allow cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and testing in the City of Sacramento. The State of California, with the adoption of the Medicinal Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) on June 27, 2017, provided clear direction to local governments in the area of cannabis regulations as the State prepares to start the licensing of cannabis businesses in 2018. On July 25, 2017, the Law and Legislation Committee directed staff to prepare draft ordinances to amend Titles 5 and 17 of the City Code to refine existing City regulations and implement provisions of MAUCRSA. Title 5 amendments have been submitted under a different agenda item. The proposed ordinance related to Title 17 modifies, deletes, and adds regulations for cannabis production and testing in the agricultural, commercial and industrial zones in the Planning and Development Code. Staff recommends that the City Council review the proposed amendments to Title 17 and adopt the attached ordinance. Policy Considerations: City Code governing cannabis businesses in Sacramento can be found in Title 17, as well as in Title 5 (Business Licenses and Regulations) that has been submitted under a different agenda item. The proposed ordinance is consistent with City policies related to the regulation of cannabis and address land use policy aspects as directed by the Law and Legislation Committee. Economic Impacts: Not applicable. Environmental Considerations: This action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is the adoption of an ordinance by the City that requires discretionary review and approval of permits to engage in commercial cannabis activity (Cal. Bus & Prof. Code Section 26005 (h)); and it involves only general policy and procedure making and does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines, sections 15002(d), 15378, 15061 (b)(3).) Sustainability: Not applicable. Commission/Committee Action: On July 27, 2017, the Law and Legislation Committee considered recommendations on a variety of cannabis related items found in Title 5 and Title 17 of the City Code. The committee directed staff to prepare an ordinance to make modifications to the cannabis distribution, manufacturing and testing regulations found in Title 17 and prepare an ordinance for the Planning and Design Commission for their review and recommendation to the City Council.

File ID: 2017-01333 Public Hearing Item 18 The Planning and Design Commission heard the proposed ordinance on September 21, 2017. By a vote of six ayes, two noes, and five absent the commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance with the additional recommendation that applications be analyzed and staff reports be prepared such that uses that are not applied for are expressly excluded from approved conditional use permits and that staff reports be developed in such a manner that discrete uses are separate and distinct so that the hearing body has the ability to consider and adjudicate each use separately as part of the combined production application. Rationale for Recommendation: The proposed ordinance is consistent with existing City of Sacramento cannabis policy and updates the code to be consistent with Title 5 provisions. Financial Considerations: Not applicable. Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable. Background: The proposed ordinance consists of six changes: Cannabis is now the accepted term for the industry. The ordinance changes the word marijuana to cannabis throughout Title 17 for consistency with the City Code and State of California regulations. The Fire Department has determined, if properly regulated, ethanol can be a safe method of extraction in the manufacturing of cannabis products. The ordinance modifies the definition of volatile solvent to exempt ethanol from the definition of volatile solvent. The distribution of cannabis will require a state license. The ordinance requires a conditional use permit for cannabis distribution in the Heavy Commercial (C-4), Light and Heavy Industrial (M-1, M-1S, M-2, M-2S), Manufacturing, Research, Development (MRD),and Manufacturing, Industrial Park(MRD) zones with a conditional use permit. It also allows cannabis distribution in the General Commercial (C-2) zones with a conditional use permit, if it is not the only cannabis use of the site and if the site is limited to 6,400 square feet. Creates a new category of cannabis production, which includes cultivation, distribution, and non-volatile manufacturing. May eliminate the need for separate conditional use permits if an applicant proposes more than one type of marijuana business at a site. Exempts small manufacturers from the conditional use permit requirements. A small manufacturer is one that complies with the following; City of Sacramento October 24, 2017 powered by Legistar Page 3 of 36
File ID: 2017-01333 Public Hearing Item 18 o The use is limited to only packing and labeling of cannabis or cannabis products, or producing edible or topical cannabis products using an infusion process; o Extraction processes are not to be conducted; or o The gross revenue of the use is under $100,000 annually. Allows cannabis testing by right if certain criteria are met. The use currently requires a conditional use permit. No changes to the permitted zones is proposed. A testing facility would be permitted by right if it complied with the following: o The cannabis testing site is not located within 600 feet of a school; o Cannabis testing must comply with applicable state and local laws; and o A cannabis testing site cannot exceed 6,400 square feet in area in the C-2 zone. Planning Division staff is part of a citywide team that is developing regulations for cannabis. The City s Cannabis Policy and Enforcement Division holds regular meetings with stakeholders in the City Council chambers and is holding a series of workshops in each of the council districts to inform residents on cannabis related policies and regulations.
