Chapter 17.94 — CANNABIS-RELATED USES

The purpose of this chapter is to establish land use restrictions for cannabis-related businesses licensed pursuant to Title 14 . Cannabis-related land uses can be successfully integrated into specified areas of the community, provided they adhere to the restrictions set forth in this chapter. Nothing in this chapter is intended to authorize any activity that is contrary to State law. (Ord. 1323 § 7, 8/28/17)

Unless otherwise provided herein, the terms used in this chapter have the same meanings as set forth in Title 14 .

(Ord. 1323 § 7, 8/28/17)

• A. No cannabis-related business may operate on any property in the City unless a valid Conditional Use Permit authorizes the cannabis-related use on the subject property.

• B. Notwithstanding any other part of this title including, without limitation, Section 17.96.060 , a Conditional Use Permit approved pursuant to this Chapter only becomes effective if the cannabis-related business accepts all conditions of approval for the Conditional Use Permit, and pays all related fees for the Cannabis Business Permit under Title 14 of this Code, within 30 calendar days after the public hearing approving the Conditional Use Permit, and commences operations as determined by the City Manager. Failure to activate the Conditional Use Permit in accordance with this section renders the Conditional Use Permit approval void.

• (Ord. 1323 § 7, 8/28/17; Ord. 1351 § 2, 3/12/18; Ord. 1353 § 2, 2/26/18)

Not more than 12 Conditional Use Permits for cannabis-related businesses may be issued and active at any given time.

(Ord. 1323 § 7, 8/28/17)

• A. Cannabis-related businesses are conditionally permitted in the C-G (General Commercial) and M-1 (Light industrial) zones and are prohibited in all other zones.

• B. Conditional Use Permits for a cannabis-related business must comply with Section 14.08.020 of this Code as to distance requirements. It is unlawful for a Conditional Use Permit to be issued for any parcel that is:

  1. Within 600 feet of any other parcel containing a school. For purposes of this section, "school" includes a pre-school, transitional kindergarten, K-12 school, whether public or private.

  2. Within 300 feet of any other parcel containing a religious facility; park (except those designated as primarily a pedestrian walkway rather than for recreational purposes); Stateor County-licensed child daycare facility; youth center; or licensed drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.

  3. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.08.020 , within 1,000 feet of any other parcel upon which a cannabis business is operating.

• (Ord. 1323 § 7, 8/28/17; Ord. 1342 § 2, 9/11/17; Ord. 1351 § 2, 3/12/18; Ord. 1353 § 2, 2/26/18)

The distance between parcels will be the horizontal distance measured in a straight line from any property line of the sensitive use to the closest property line of the parcel on which the cannabisrelated business is to be located, without regard to any intervening structures. (Ord. 1323 § 7, 8/28/17)

In addition to any other conditions of approval deemed necessary and appropriate by the approving authority, an operations plan, including a detailed cash management plan is required as a condition

of approval for any cannabis-related use. In addition to any other practices demonstrated in the Operations Plan, the cash management plan must include a kiosk based system at the facility to eliminate the cash transfers between employees and customers. Any cash management plan must provide detailed records of all transactions to the city and comply with all regulations promulgated by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control, when they become effective. If the operations and/or cash management plan include confidential and/or proprietary information the City will respect the confidentiality of the information submitted by the applicant. The required content of the operations plan is set forth in Chapters 14.12 and 14.16 .
