4. Update and Recommended Changes to Measure BB—Candida Neal, Planning Manager
and Alvaro Nunez, Code Enforcement Manager, Planning & Building {Strategic Plan
Goal No. 1, lc}
Planning Manager Candida Neal addressed the Council Committee regarding comments made at
the last City Council meeting on May 2nd on how to proceed with Measure BB. Issues were
brought up regarding permitted dispensaries: hours, delivery, signage, testing/R&D, and cash
limits. The Planning Department believes the permitted dispensaries should be treated similar to
other uses as long as there wouldn't be any secondary impacts around surrounding
neighborhoods. These uses are located in industrial areas. In regards to administrative items,
Manager Neal suggests an amendment to the Ordinance to include a revocation process. She
also suggested modifying the Ordinance to allow the sale of the permit to a single owner since
there is nothing in the Ordinance prohibiting someone from buying out the shares of other
owners. Manager Neal asks the Committee to consider whether they want to increase or
decrease the number of medical marijuana collectives allowed. In addition, if the City wants to
expand uses in light of the statute passed in November allowing recreational use.
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio directs Staff to bring Ordinance amendment discussion to the City Council
meeting in June. Bring a list of questions/policy issues to the Public Safety Meeting in July.
Chairman Solorio asks for a special Public Safety meeting in mid-to-late June to discuss
manufacturing/cultivation/distribution.
ACTION:
Chairman Solorio asks the City Manager's Office to consider putting a second City Attorney
position in the budget on the enforcement side and to reach out to Code Enforcement to see if
they need additional personnel.
City Attorney Tamara Bogosian asks Chairman Solorio if he is making a motion for the work-
study session in June. She informs that her office has started preliminary drafts of revising the
Measure BB Ordinance which is articulated in Section 18 of the SAMC.
Chairman Solorio makes a motion to have a study session for Public Safety Committee to
be scheduled for mid-to-late June.
MOTION: Solorio SECOND: Villegas
VOTE: AYES: Villegas, Solorio, Tinajero
NOES: None (0)
Motion carries.
