REPORT IN BRIEF: Staff solicited proposals from qualified cons ultants for Professional Engineering Services for the Measure F-14 2016/2017 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. Five proposals were received, reviewed and ranked. Staff determined Pavement Engineering, Inc. was the most qualified firm to complete this project, and has negotiated a final scope and fee for the work. The project schedule for this design work is approximately four months, with Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) to be completed and ready to bid by the beginning of March. Staff intends to bid the project in March with construction taking place Summer 2017. A separate Measure F-14 2016/2017 Maintenance Project is currently being designed by City staff and will be bid and constructed separately. DISCUSSION: Sales Tax Measure F-14 was approved by voters in November 2014, to fund the repair and maintenance of neighborhood roads and other roadways. A five year project list has been developed based on the City-wide Pavement Management System roadway inventory and “Critical Point Managemen t” methodology. For the 2016/2017 Fiscal Year, the following roadway segments have been identified for rehabilitation. (See Exhibit A for a map of locations) Page 35 ITEM NUMBER: A-3 DATE: 10/25/16  Alcantara Avenue – From Marchant Avenue North to Marchant Avenue South  Carmelita Road – From Curbaril Avenue to Portola Road  Carmelita Road – From Portola Road to San Gabriel Road  Cortez Avenue – From Maleza Avenue to Curbaril Avenue  Monterey Road – From Campo Road to San Anselmo Road A total of 4.6 lane miles are included as part of this rehabilitation project. Through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process, staff solicited proposals from qualified consultants for Professional Engineering Services for the Measure F-14 2016/2017 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. As part of the design contract the engineering consultant will provide necessary topographic survey services and survey monument research, pavement engineering analysis, complete final Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E), and provide engineering ass istance during the bid process. In addition to pavement rehabilitation, the engineering consultant has included work scope to provide drainage design necessary to preserve and protect the roadway surface. This work may include storm drain inlet and culvert repair or replacement, and installation of new or repaired edge treatments such as asphalt dike and shoulder backing. Localized areas of pavement failure are often the direct result of saturated subgrade soils caused by standing water. To remedy these issues, segments of the roads need to be re-profiled to provide positive drainage of surface water. As part of the RFP for this year’s project, staff identified several areas where significant drainage issues currently exist, and PEI has included in their scope the work to design solutio ns at these areas. Staff advertised the RFP on September 6, 2016, with proposals due September 22, 2016. A total of five proposals were received, from Pavement Engineering Incorporated (PEI), Diversified Project Services International (DPSI), North Coas t Engineering, Rick Engineering Company, and Stantec. The firms were ranked according to experience with similar projects, responsiveness to City needs, experience of key personnel and other factors. The City was fortunate to receive excellent proposals from all five companies, but agreed that PEI should be selected for this project. PEI submitted an estimated Project Fee of $85,550 for this project. Engineering Design fees for this project are typically in the range of 5-10% of total project cost for this type of work. This engineering contract is calculated to be 5.4% of total project cost, which is within the typical range and is considered reasonable. Staff is recommending that PEI be selected to perform the consulting services for the Measure F -14 2016/2017 Rehabilitation Project. Staff was in agreement that PEI is the most qualified consultant, with particular strengths that best fit this project. These strengths include a strong local project manager with extensive pavement rehabilitation exper ience, significant company experience with public works, and a thorough understanding of the process to prepare a biddable and buildable set of construction plans. Page 36 ITEM NUMBER: A-3 DATE: 10/25/16 FISCAL IMPACT: This action will result in the expenditure of up to $85,550 in budgeted Sales Tax Measure F-14 funds. The Sales Tax Measure has been collecting fees since April 1, 2015, and currently has a sufficient balance for this work. If necessary, the City will execute a separate contract or contract extension for the Construction Support Services with the engineering consultant once the Construction Contract has been awarded. Additionally, the City will execute a separate contract with a materials testing firm for Quality Control/Quality Assurance during project construction. These additional fees are reflected in the budget below.

Council may reject staff’s recommendation and direct staff to reconsider the design firm choice or re-advertise the RFP. Staff does not recommend this action as delaying the schedule will likely push the construction bidding outside the window for lowest bid prices and the selected firm is highly qualified.

Direct staff to pursue the development of a City Local Area Management Plan (LAMP) and contract services with a qualified professional consultant to assist with this effort. 2. Authorize the Administrative Services Director to amend the current Budget by appropriating $50,000 from the General Fund Reserves to cover the costs in developing a City LAMP. REPORT IN BRIEF: The State Water Resources Control Board adopted the Water Quality Control Policy for Siting, Design, Operation, and Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS Policy) which mandates local permitting agencies to comply with these new requirements. The OWTS Policy will significantly alter the allowable use and design of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) in Atascadero. If the City were to implement the OWTS Policy, approximately 3,100 developed and undeveloped parcels within City limits would be non-compliant in meeting the new requirements. Installation of new septic systems or repair of existing failed septic systems on these sites would either not be allowed or would require expensive supplemental pre-treatment. Additionally, even permitted new systems on conforming lots will be subject to increase significantly in size and cost. The OWTS Policy allows local agencies the option of developing a Local Area Management Program (LAMP) to establish their own septic system design requirements or obtaining coverage with a separate local agency that has an approved LAMP . Staff has been monitoring the County of San Luis Obispo’s progress in developing a Draft Page 39 ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 10/25/16 LAMP, however, staff has determined that the County LAMP is still too restrictive and recommends that the City budget and contract services for the development of a LAMP specific to the unique conditions in Atascadero. DISCUSSION: Background: Atascadero has a total of 9,890 residential parcels, of which 4,610 are served by the City municipal sanitary sewer system. The remaining parcels are served by OWTS. Currently, the City follows State regulations identified in the Water Quality Control Plan for the Central Coast Basin (Basin Plan) for minim um lot sizes and septic system design for subdivisions and previously entitled parcels. In general, this results in one acre minimum lot sizes for new non-sewered subdivisions. This regulatory framework also permits secondary units provided a minimum lot size of 1-acre is achieved. Site specific conditions are reviewed and an approved engineering design is required to receive permits for new or replacement systems. Under the OWTS Policy, site-specific conditions are not considered when determining feasibility of a septic system. Instead, a boilerplate approach is identified where minimum lot sizes are determined based on average yearly rainfall totals. If a parcel is less than the minimum requirement (two acres for Atascadero given historical rainfall averages), supplemental pre-treatment systems will be required to be installed. While these systems are slowly coming down in price, at the present time they range from $40,000-$75,000. It should be noted that these supplemental pre-treatment systems would be required for both new and failed existing systems on lots not meeting the OWTS Policy. The OWTS Policy also defines very conservative design requirements which staff believes are not applicable for the City of Atascadero. The OWTS Policy was written primarily to deal with the issue of multiple private wells in close proximity to septic systems – which may be applicable to areas in the County. However, the City is in a unique situation since the vast majority of septic tanks discharge far from the Atascadero Mutual Water Company well field and are geologically separate d from that groundwater basin. Also, the City has a history of conservative septic design and staff believes that the current City ordinances in place exceed the requirements of the OWTS with regard to protection of water quality. Local Area Management Program (LAMP): The OWTS Policy allows for a local agency to develop a management plan for new and replacement septic systems. This LAMP document “provides an alternate method from Tier 1 programs to achieve the same policy purpose, which is to protect water quality and public health. In order to address local conditions, Local Agency Management Programs may include standards that differ from the Tier 1 requirements for new and replacement OWTS contained in Sections 7 and 8. Once the Local Agency Management Program is approved, new and replacement OWTS that are included Page 40 ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 10/25/16 within the Local Agency Management Program may be approved by the Local Agency.” (OWTS Policy) In meeting with representatives from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), it has been stated that if the City can demonstrate that the proposed requirements for OWTS design and lot sizing sufficiently protect water quality, those ordinances may be used. While th e RWQCB has not stated specifically what they will require to demonstrate the protection of water quality, staff believes that a City LAMP demonstrating the historical protection of water quality under existing septic loads and an analysis of Citywide hydrogeological conditions will meet the requirements. While comparable municipal LAMPs were not found , most counties have submitted draft LAMP documents. City staff has reviewed multiple County documents, (San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Barbara, San Diego). However, these County LAMPs do not reflect the “small urban, large rural” character of Atascadero and the comprehensive public water supply system that Atascadero Mutual Water Company manages over the City limits. Therefore, it is unrealistic to “piggyback” on developing a LAMP similar to one of these County LAMPs or obtain coverage under SLO County’s LAMP. Planning Impact of the OWTS Policy: If the OWTS Policy were implemented, the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance would require amendments in order to remain consistent with State Law. Minimum lot sizes would need to be modified to reflect a new 2-acre minimum standard where sewer service is not available and many existing parcels that currently meet zoning standards would become non-conforming. In addition, policies and regulations related to secondary units would need to be modified. The minimum lot size would need to be increased to 4-acres from the current 1-acre minimum size to accommodate second units. Additionally, the OWTS Policy is more restrictive on the type of underlying soils suitable for OWTS whereby requiring pre-treatment systems even on larger lots in compliance with the OWTS Policy. Estimated Scope and Schedule for a City LAMP: At a minimum, the proposed City LAMP will address existing groundwater and hydrogeological conditions, and will establish OWTS siting and design requirements for different areas within the City based upon allowable wastewater loads. It is reasonable to expect that the LAMP may identify specific areas within the City that will be required to incorporate pre-treatment due to soil types, proximity to AMWC well fields, or parcel density. The intention of the LAMP is to define these impacted areas and demonstrate that the remaining parcels can protect groundwater quality with traditional, cost-effective septic systems. City staff has contacted several local qualified consultants to discuss this project. Based on their experiences developing LAMPs and similar documents, consulting fees to prepare a LAMP for Atascadero are expected to be in the range of $40,000 -$50,000. Significant staff time will also be required during the preparation of the LAMP, as well as during the RWQCB review. In addition, additional staff time will be required to provide Page 41 ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 10/25/16 annual reports for OWTS activities, regardless if the City defaults to the OWTS Policy or adopts a City LAMP. The City will default to the requirements of the State OWTS in May 2018 unless a City LAMP is adopted by Council and approved by the RWQCB before that date. Staff expects that a draft LAMP can be prepared and submitted to the RWQCB for review and comment by April 2017. The goal of staff is to either have the LAMP approved by May 2018 or to show significant completion such that the City can continue to implement the current OWTS ordinance until the LAMP is formally adopted. FISCAL IMPACT: Development of a LAMP is not funded in the current budget cycle and is expected to cost in the range of $40,000 to $50,000. Staff recommends amending the current Budget and appropriating $50,000 from the General Fund Reserves to cover the costs to adopt a City LAMP. ALTERNATIVES: There are several alternatives to developing a City LAMP, including doing nothing and implementing the OW TS Policy requirements or contracting with SLO County to implement their LAMP within City limits. However, both of these alternatives are not recommended due to the restrictive impact on future development and given the unique characteristics of Atascadero. ATTACHMENTS: None. Page 42 ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 Atascadero City Council Staff Report – City Attorney Proposition 64 The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act RECOMMENDATION: Council receive and file report on Proposition 64, The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use Of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”). DISCUSSION: On November 8, 2016, California voters will consider Proposition 64, The Control Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”). If passed, this measure will legalize and regulate recreational marijuana in California and establish a regulatory system that is very similar to the medical marijuana regulatory system created by the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”), which was passed into law last year. Under the AUMA, marijuana cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and testing laboratories will need to obtain a state license to operate. For cities, key features of Proposition 64 include: 1. Cities may completely prohibit all marijuana businesses if they so choose; 2. The state will not issue a license to a marijuana business if the proposed business would violate a local ordinance; 3. The state is not going to issue licenses for recreational marijuana businesses until January 1, 2018; 4. Individuals may possess limited amounts of marijuana and marijuana products and/or cultivate up to six plants; 5. No more than six plants may be cultivated at any given time at a private residence; 6. Cities may “reasonably regulate” private indoor cultiva tion, but may not completely prohibit it; Page 43 ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 7. Cities may completely prohibit private outdoor cultivation; and 8. Cities may impose local taxes on marijuana retailers and cultivators. One question which has arisen is when cities adopt ordinances to address recreational marijuana. At this point, we do not know whether California voters will pass Proposition 64. A city can wait until after the election to adopt an ordinance regarding recreational marijuana. An ordinance passed after the election will be effective and enforceable. As noted, the state is not going to issue licenses for recreational marijuana businesses unti l January 1, 2018. Cities that wait until after the election to address private cultivation will not be preempted by state law from adopting reasonable regulations regarding private cultivation. The AUMA expressly recognizes the authority of local governments to adopt reasonable cultivation regulations, which may include a complete ban on private outdoor cultivation. (Health and Safety Code §11362.2) There is no deadline by which cities must adopt such local regulations. Next Steps Last winter when Council reviewed and adopted the medical marijuana ordinance, it was expected that a recreational marijuana ordinance would be on the November ballot. At that time, Council directed staff to revise the City’s ordinances related to marijuana once it was known whether the recreational marijuana ballot measure had passed. The timeline outlined below begins the process of analyzing marijuana issues after the marijuana ballot results are in and allows time for staff to research and analyze the issues and gather technical data. It would also allow staff to conduct an extensive public outreach process to hear from community members on the needs and issues related to medical marijuana. This timeline is intended to provide for a long -term solution that takes into account any potential changes that may arise from the November ballot initiative. 1. Staff research on marijuana legislation. (October 2016-January 2017) 2. Gather technical data on marijuana cultivation including indoor and outdoor grow cycles. (January 2017) 3. Evaluate zoning and land use implications of cultivation . (February 2017) 4. Hold community meetings to hear concerns from citizens on marijuana cultivation. (February-April 2017) 5. Adopt an ordinance potentially revising current the medical marijuana ordinan ce and potentially addressing adult-use marijuana in the City. (May- June 2017) As discussed last winter, should Proposition 64 be passed staff will continue implementation of the timeline.

If passed, the AUMA will legalize the nonmedical use of marijuana by persons 21 years of age and over, and the personal cultivation of up to six marijuana plants. In addition, the AUMA will create a state regulatory and licensing system governing the commercial cultivation, testing, and distribution of nonmedical marijuana, and the manufacturing of nonmedical marijuana products. The regulatory system governing these commercial marijuana activities largely mirrors the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (“MMRSA”), but there are key differences. This memorandum will provide an overview of the AUMA, highlight the ways in which the AUMA differs from the MMRSA, and identify the issues that cities will need to take action on if the AUMA passes. I. Overview of the AUMA A. Personal Nonmedical Marijuana Use The AUMA makes it legal for persons 21 years of age or older to: (1) smoke or ingest marijuana or marijuana products; (2) possess, process, transport, purchase, obtain, or give away to persons 21 years of age or older, without any compensation, 28.5 grams of marijuana, or 8 grams of concentrated marijuana, including as contained in marijuana products; and (3) possess, plant, cultivate, harvest, dry or process up to six living marijuana plants for personal use.1 The AUMA requires that marijuana in excess of 28.5 grams that is produced by plants kept pursuant to the personal cultivation provision of the Act be kept in a locked space on the grounds of a private residence that is not visible from a public place.2 Although persons 21 years of age or older may use and possess nonmedical marijuana under the Act, their ability to engage in these activities is not unfettered. The AUMA prohibits the smoking of marijuana: (1) in any public place, except where a local jurisdiction has authorized use on the premises of a retailer or microbusiness in accordance with Business and Professions Code 1 Health & Saf. Code § 11362.2(a). 2 Health & Saf.

Personal Cultivation The AUMA provides that local governments can reasonably regulate, but cannot ban, personal indoor cultivation of up to six living marijuana plants within the person’s private residence.6 The Act defines private residence as “a house, an apartment unit, a mobile home, or other similar dwelling unit.”7 This includes cultivation in a greenhouse on the same property as the residence that is not physically part of the home, as long as it is fully enclosed, secure, and not visible from a public space.8 The AUMA completely protects the ability of local governments to regulate, and to ban, personal outdoor cultivation operations.9 However, it purports to repeal any ordinance that bans outdoor cultivation upon the California Attorney General’s determination that nonmedical use of marijuana is lawful under federal law.10 B. Commercial Nonmedical Marijuana Activity Under the AUMA, California will have a comprehensive state regulatory system for nonmedical marijuana that governs the industry from “seed to sale.” The Bureau of Marijuana Control, currently the Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs, will have primary responsibility for administering and enforcing the AUMA.11 The AUMA divides state licensing and enforcement responsibilities among three agencies: (1) the Department of Consumer Affairs, which will issue licenses for marijuana the transportation, storage, distribution, and sale of marijuana;12 (2) the Department of Food and Agriculture will issue marijuana cultivation licenses, which will administer the provisions of the AUMA related 3 Health & Saf.

Local Control All nonmedical marijuana businesses must have a state license.19 A state license cannot issue to an applicant whose operations would violate the provisions of any local ordinance or regulation.20 However a state applicant need not provide documentation that the applicant has a local license or permit. The AUMA does not limit the authority of a local jurisdiction to adopt and enforce local ordinances regulating or completely prohibiting state-licensed marijuana businesses.21 Local jurisdictions may establish “standards, requirements, and regulations regarding health and safety, environmental protection, testing, security, food safety, and worker protections that exceed state standards.”22 2. Local Enforcement Like the MMRSA, the AUMA establishes a dual enforcement scheme for commercial marijuana activities that violate either state or local laws. The state licensing authorities will enforce state statutes and regulations. State authorities can suspend or revoke state licenses,23 pursue civil penalties against violating businesses in an amount equal to three times the applicable licensing fee per violation,24 or may prosecute violators criminally.25 Local authorities will be responsible for enforcing local ordinances and regulations.26 For state-licensed facilities operating within a 13 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26012(a)(2). 14 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26012(3). 15 Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 26012(c), 26013 (a). 16 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26050(c). 17 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26055(c). 18 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26053. 19 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26038.) 20 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26055(e). 21 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26200(a).

Key Differences Between the AUMA and MMRSA A. Licensing The MMRSA established dual licensing of medical marijuana businesses, requiring both local approval and a state license in order for a business to operate legally.28 Specifically, the MMRSA requires applicants to provide the relevant state licensing entity with documentation proving their compliance with local ordinances and regulations.29 The AUMA does not require an applicant to provide evidence of local permission prior to being issued a state license.30 Instead, the AUMA prohibits state licensing entities from approving licenses for activities that would violate local ordinances.31 Thus, state licensing officials bear the onus of evaluating local regulatory compliance. Under this system, the AUMA allows a nonmedical marijuana business licensed by the state to operate within city limits unless the city’s municipal code prohibits the use. Cities that wish to regulate or prohibit nonmedical marijuana businesses will need to do so before the State begins issuing licenses, either by enacting a nonmedical marijuana ordinance/regulation or by amending an existing medical marijuana ordinance/regulation to include nonmedical marijuana within its scope. B. License Revocation Under the MMRSA, revocation of a local license or permit unilaterally terminates the ability of the medical marijuana business to operate in the jurisdiction issuing the permit, until such time as the local permitting entity reinstates it.32 Under the AUMA, if a local jurisdiction revokes a local license, permit, or authorization for a licensee to engage in commercial marijuana activity within the local jurisdiction, the Bureau of Marijuana Control must initiate proceedings to determine whether the state license issued should be suspended or revoked within ten days of being notified by the local jurisdiction of the local revocation.33 Note, however, that, even if the state license is not suspended or revoked immediately, the business cannot operate within the local jurisdiction once local revocation occurs. 27 Bus. & Prof. Code § 23202(a). 28 Bus. & Prof. Code § 19320(b). 29 Bus. & Prof. Code § 19322(a). 30 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26056. 31 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26055(e). 32 Bus. & Prof. Code § 19320(d). 33 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26200(c).

Personal, Indoor Cultivation Under the MMRSA, local governments possess the power to regulate and completely ban personal, indoor cultivation.34 Under the AUMA local governments can “reasonably regulate” indoor cultivation of up to six marijuana plants for personal use, but cannot ban it.35 D. Personal Outdoor Cultivation Under the MMRSA local governments can prohibit all outdoor cultivation. Under the AUMA local governments can prohibit all outdoor cultivation, until such time as the Attorney General determines that the use of nonmedical marijuana is lawful in the State of California under federal law.36 Upon such determination, the AUMA purports to repeal all local bans on outdoor cultivation.37 E. Amendment Any portion of the MMRSA can be amended at any time, if there is sufficient political support within the Legislature for making substantive changes to the regulatory structure. Under some circumstances, an amendment to the MMRSA by the Legislature might arguably violate The Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (adopted by the voters as Proposition 215), which decriminalized the personal use of medical marijuana.38 Under the AUMA, the Legislature may amend Sections 5 (relating to the use of medical marijuana for medical purposes) and 6 (relating to state licensing) and the provisions relating to penalties by majority vote. The Legislature may amend any other provision of the Act by a 2/3 vote. Any amendment must further the purposes and intent of the AUMA. The purpose and intent of the Act include allowing local governments to ban nonmedical marijuana businesses. F. Taxation The AUMA imposes new state taxes on medical and nonmedical marijuana in the following manner:  Effective January 1, 2018, the AUMA imposes an excise tax at the rate of 15% of gross retail sales receipts.39 o This tax will be in addition to existing state and local sales tax.40 Given that state and local sales taxes can range from 7-10%, the combined excise tax + sales tax at the retail level could approach 25%; 34 Health & Saf.

ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 1 Page 50 6  Effective January 1, 2018, the AUMA imposes a separate cultivation tax on all harvested marijuana as follows:41 o $9.25 per dry-weight ounce on all marijuana flowers; o $2.75 per dry-weight ounce on all marijuana leaves;  The AUMA prohibits imposition of state and local sales taxes on medical marijuana.42  The AUMA exempts marijuana cultivated for personal use from taxation.43 The AUMA does not pre-empt local taxation.44 However, the AUMA’s estimated cumulative tax rate of nearly 35% on the purchase of nonmedical marijuana has potentially troubling implications for local governments. A high state tax rate by itself may depress sales and stimulate the black market. Any local taxation of marijuana should be governed by an awareness that a high retail sales tax rate, imposed on an industry that, until recently, has not been regulated at all, might stimulate black market activity and compromise the anticipated yield of revenue. In order to avoid such a result, cities might consider imposing an excise tax on discrete commercial nonmedical marijuana activities rather than on retail sales. New taxes on marijuana require compliance with Proposition 218. 1. Allocation of State Tax Revenues After repaying certain state agencies for marijuana regulatory costs not covered by license fees, and making certain grants to universities for research and development and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, the AUMA distributes the remaining tax revenue as follows:  60% for youth programs, substance abuse education, prevention and treatment;  20% for environmental cleanup and remediation; and  20% for state and local programs that reduce DUI and grant programs designed to reduce negative health impacts resulting from marijuana legalization G. Deliveries Under the MMRSA, medical marijuana deliveries can only be made from a state-licensed dispensary in a city, county, or city and county that does not explicitly prohibit it by local ordinance.45 A delivery person must carry a copy of the dispensary’s state-issued license, a government ID, and a copy of the delivery request.46 The patient or caregiver requesting the delivery must also maintain a copy of the delivery request.47 Dispensaries and delivery people who comply with MMRSA are immune from prosecution for marijuana transportation.48 41 Rev. & Tax Code § 34012. 42 Rev. & Tax Code § 34011(g). 43 Rev. & Tax Code § 34012(j). 44 Rev. & Tax Code § 34021. 45 Bus. & Prof. Code § 19340(a). 46 Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 19340(b)(2), 19340(d). 47 Bus. & Prof. Code § 19340(e). 48 Bus. & Prof. Code § 19317(f). ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 1 Page 51 7 Under the AUMA, deliveries can be made by a state-licensed retailer, microbusiness, or nonprofit unless they are prohibited by local ordinance.49 Although the AUMA does require a customer requesting delivery to maintain a copy of the delivery request, there is no express requirement that delivery people carry or maintain any records.50 Moreover, unlike the MMRSA, the AUMA does not require that deliveries come from a dispensary. Instead, it states that “Deliveries, as defined in this division, may only be made by a licensed retailer or microbusiness, or a licensed nonprofit under Section 26070.5.”51 Thus, there is at least some question regarding whether deliveries may be made from non-retail locations by retail employees. Under both the MMRSA and the AUMA, local jurisdictions can ban or regulate deliveries within their borders.52 However, local jurisdictions cannot prevent a delivery service from using public roads to simply pass through its jurisdiction from a licensed dispensary to a delivery location outside of its boundaries.53 III. Local Regulatory Options54 The AUMA preserves the authority of a city to adopt business regulations and land use regulations for nonmedical marijuana activities.55 A. Personal Marijuana Cultivation Under the AUMA local governments can regulate or prohibit all personal, outdoor cultivation, until such time as the Attorney General determines that the use of nonmedical marijuana is lawful in the State of California under federal law. In addition, local governments can “reasonably regulate” personal, indoor cultivation. Nothing in the AUMA requires a city to enact a regulatory scheme or ban by a certain date. However, assuming that the AUMA passes, if a city does not have a ban or regulatory scheme governing personal cultivation in place before November 9, 2016, a person may legally engage in personal cultivation of up to six marijuana plants within the person’s private residence. 49 Bus. & Prof. Code §26090(a). 50 Bus. & Prof. Code §26090(b). 51 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26090(a). 52 Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 19340(a), 19316(a), 26200 . 53 Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 19340(f), 26080(b), 26090(c). 54 For a thorough discussion of the various marijuana regulatory options that a city may consider, see McEwen, Medical Marijuana-Revisited After New State Laws (Spring 2016) <http://www.cacities.org/Resources - Documents/Member-Engagement/Professional-Departments/City-Attorneys/Library/2016/Spring-2016/5-2016- Spring-Medical-Marijuana-%E2%80%93-Revisited-After>. In addition, sample ordinances may be found on the League’s website, at: http://www.cacities.org/Policy-Advocacy/Hot-Issues/Medical-Marijuana. But note: the regulatory schemes discussed in the McEwen paper and posted on the League’s website pertain to medical marijuana businesses under the MMRSA and may need to be modified to comply with the requirements of the AUMA. 55 Health & Saf. Code § 11362.2; Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 26201, 26200(a). ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 1 Page 52 8 B. Nonmedical Marijuana Businesses The AUMA recognizes a range of businesses, including dispensaries, cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, transporters, and testing laboratories. Cities may expressly ban, adopt business regulations, or adopt land use regulations pertaining to any or all of these businesses. Again, the AUMA does not require a city to enact a regulatory scheme or ban by a certain date. However, assuming that the AUMA passes in November, if a city wishes to regulate or ban marijuana businesses before marijuana businesses may legally operate within the city, the regulations or ban will need to take effect before the state begins issuing nonmedical marijuana business licenses. The League anticipates that cities have until January 1, 2018 to enact bans or regulations relating to nonmedical marijuana businesses, because: (1) nonmedical marijuana businesses cannot operate in any city without a state license;56 (2) the state licensing agencies in charge of implementing the AUMA have stated that they anticipate that they will not begin issuing licenses under the MMRSA until January 2018, and it is unlikely that said agencies will be able to begin issuing licenses under the AUMA before they begin issuing licenses under the MMRSA; and (3) the AUMA does not require state agencies to issue licenses until January 1, 2018.57 It is not the League’s position that state licensing agencies cannot issue licenses before January 1, 2018, just that it is unlikely that they will do so. C. Caution Against Use of Permissive Zoning Under a permissive zoning code, any use not enumerated in the code is presumptively prohibited, unless an authorized city official finds that the proposed use is substantially the same in character and intensity as those land uses listed in the code.58 Although the MMRSA upheld a city’s authority to rely on permissive zoning to prohibit medical marijuana land uses, it is unlikely that cities will succeed in arguing that nonmedical marijuana land uses are prohibited by permissive zoning under the AUMA. This is so because: (1) the statutory language in the AUMA regarding local control seems to anticipate that a city will adopt an ordinance explicitly prohibiting and/or regulating nonmedical marijuana businesses (rather than relying on the silence of its Code to argue for a prohibited use);59 (2) the AUMA does not contain the same protective language as the 56 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26038. 57 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26012 (c). 58 See City of Corona v. Naulls (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 418, 433-436. See also County of Los Angeles v. Hill (2011) 192 Cal.App.4th 861, 871 [holding that “medical marijuana dispensaries and pharmacies are not ‘similarly situated’ for public health and safety purposes”]; City of Monterey v. Carrnshimba (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 1068, 1091 [holding that a medical marijuana dispensary was not substantially similar to the listed commercial use classifications for personal services, retail sales, pharmacies and medical supplies]; County of Tulare v. Nunes (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 1188, 1205 [holding that a medical marijuana collective did not qualify as an “agricultural” land use because “marijuana is a controlled substance and is not treated as a mere crop or horticultural product under the law”]. 59 Bus. & Prof Code § 26200 [“Nothing in this division shall be interpreted to supersede or limit the authority of a local jurisdiction to adopt and enforce local ordinances to regulate businesses licensed under this division, including, but not limited to, local zoning and land use requirements, business license requirements, and requirements related to reducing exposure to second hand smoke, or to completel y prohibit the establishment or operation of one or more types of businesses licensed under this division within the local jurisdiction.”] (emphasis added). ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 1 Page 53 9 MMRSA with respect to permissive zoning;60 and (3) the AUMA explicitly designates nonmedical marijuana as an agricultural product—thus if a city’s permissive zoning code authorizes agricultural uses, the city may be precluded from arguing that marijuana is prohibited.61 Therefore, cities that wish to ban all or some nonmedical marijuana activities should adopt express prohibitions, even if they operate under a permissive zoning code. IV. What actions need to be taken? At this time city officials should: (1) review the city’s municipal code; (2) consider whether they wish to regulate the personal cultivation of nonmedical marijuana indoors; (3) consider whether they wish to regulate or ban the personal cultivation of nonmedical marijuana outdoors; (3) consider whether they wish to enact business regulations of nonmedical marijuana businesses; (4) consider whether they wish to enact land use regulations of nonmedical marijuana businesses; and (5) consider whether they wish to enact local taxes on marijuana. Cities should prioritize considering or enacting ordinances regulating personal nonmedical marijuana cultivation, because it will be legal under state law on November 9, 2016 if the AUMA passes, whereas nonmedical marijuana businesses will not be able to operate lawfully until the state licensing system becomes operational (likely in late 2017). New taxes on marijuana require compliance with Proposition 218. 60 Compare Health & Saf. Code § 11362.777(b)(3) [a “person or entity shall not submit an application for a state license . . . if the proposed cultivation of marijuana will violate the provisions of any local ordinance or regulation, or if medical marijuana is prohibited by the city, county, or city and county in which the cultivation is proposed to occur, either expressly or otherwise under principles of permissive zoning”] with Bus. & Prof Code § 26205(e) [“Licensing authorities shall not approve an application for a state license under this division if approval of the state license will violate the provisions of any local ordinance or regulation adopted in accordance with Section 26200.”]. 61 Bus. & Prof. Code § 26067(a). ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 1 Page 54 1 September 12, 2016 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Adult Use of Marijuana Act1 Proposition 64 Question#1: If passed, when will the AUMA take effect? Answer: The AUMA will take effect November 9, 2016, the day after the election. But note, the AUMA requires a state license to engage in commercial nonmedical marijuana activity. Licensing authorities are required to begin issuing licenses by January 1, 2018 and the League anticipates that the issuance of licenses will not occur much in advance of January 1, 2018. Thus, the AUMA provisions legalizing commercial nonmedical marijuana activity will not become operational until the state begins issuing licenses (likely in late-2017). The AUMA provisions legalizing personal use and cultivation of nonmedical marijuana take effect November 9, 2016. Question #2: Assuming the AUMA passes, can private individuals cultivate nonmedical marijuana at home beginning November 9, 2016? Answer: Yes, within a residence by a person 21 years and older for personal use. The AUMA provides that local governments can reasonably regulate, but cannot prohibit personal indoor cultivation of up to six marijuana plants. This includes cultivation in a greenhouse that is on the property of the residence but not physically part of the home, as long as it is fully enclosed, secure, and not visible from a public space. Because this activity is not subject to state licensing requirements, private individuals may cultivate up to six living marijuana plants indoors beginning November 9, 2016—unless a city enacts an ordinance imposing a reasonable regulatory scheme that would preclude them from doing so before complying with the city’s regulatory requirements. Cities cannot adopt or enforce bans on private indoor cultivation of six living nonmedical marijuana plants on or after November 9, 2016. Local governments may regulate or ban all outdoor personal cultivation. However, the AUMA includes language purporting to repeal any ordinance that bans personal outdoor 1 Please consult your City Attorney before taking action to implement the AUMA. The answers to these FAQs may be different in your city based upon your municipal code, regulations, and policies. The answers do not constitute legal advice from the League of California Cities®. ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 2 Page 55 2 cultivation upon the California Attorney General’s determination that nonmedical use of marijuana is lawful under federal law. Question #3: What does the AUMA say about possession, transporting, purchasing or giving away of non-medical marijuana? Answer: A person 21 years of age or older may possess, process, transport, purchase or give away to persons 21 years of age or older not more than 28.5 grams of marijuana in the non-concentrated form and not more than 8 grams of marijuana in a concentrated form including marijuana products. If the AUMA passes, these activities will be lawful under state law and cannot be prohibited under local law. Question #4: Do cities that ban or regulate medical marijuana businesses need to update their ordinances to include nonmedical marijuana? Answer: Yes. The AUMA prohibits state licensing authorities from issuing a license to a commercial nonmedical marijuana business if operation of the business violates a local ordinance of the jurisdiction in which the business will operate. This means that a city wishing to adopt business or land use regulations prohibiting or regulating commercial nonmedical marijuana businesses must adopt an ordinance prior to the date the state begins issuing licenses, which the League anticipates will be in late 2017.2 Question #5: Can cities be confident that a permissive zoning code, by itself, provides sufficient protection against nonmedical marijuana businesses setting up shop without local approval? Answer: No. It is unlikely that cities will succeed in arguing that nonmedical marijuana land uses are prohibited by permissive zoning codes under the AUMA, because the AUMA does not contain the same protective language as the MMRSA with respect to permissive zoning. Therefore, cities that wish to ban all or some nonmedical marijuana activities should adopt express prohibitions, even if they operate under a permissive zoning code. Question #6: Are cities at risk of losing the opportunity to impose bans on personal outdoor cultivation if they don’t act until after the November election? Answer: No. A city may adopt an ordinance banning or regulating personal outdoor cultivation at any time. However, if a city does not adopt a ban or regulatory scheme before November 9, 2016, individuals will be able to cultivate marijuana outdoors for personal use until such time as the city enacts a ban or regulatory scheme. Because the logistics of enforcing a ban after an individual’s outdoor cultivation operations have begun, the best practice may be to adopt an ordinance before November 9, 2016. Question #7: Are cities at risk of losing the opportunity to impose bans on nonmedical marijuana businesses, if they don’t act until after the November election? 2 Please see Question #8 regarding the use of public roads for transportation and delivery. ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 10/25/16 ATTACHMENT: 2 Page 56 3 Answer: No. However, if a city does not adopt an ordinance expressly banning or regulating nonmedical marijuana businesses before the state begins issuing state licenses nonmedical businesses, a state-licensed nonmedical marijuana business will be able to operate within its jurisdiction without local permission or permitting. This is due to a provision in the AUMA that provides that state licenses cannot be issued where the activity would violate a local ordinance. If a jurisdiction has no ordinance regulating nonmedical marijuana businesses, then the local regulatory scheme is silent on that type of activity, and the state can unilaterally issue a license under terms fully compliant with the AUMA. Cities may adopt an ordinance expressly banning or regulating such operations after the state begins to issue licenses, but it will be difficult to terminate the state licensee’s operations until the state license is up for renewal. Therefore, the best practice is to adopt an ordinance before the state begins issuing state licenses. Question #8: Can cities ban deliveries under the AUMA? Answer: Yes. Cities can ban deliveries within their territorial limits. However, cities cannot prevent the use of public roads for the delivery of marijuana. For example, if a licensed delivery company located in City A must travel on public roads through City B to make an authorized delivery in City C, City B cannot prohibit the licensed delivery company from travelling on public roads in City B to get to City C. In addition, cities may not prevent the use of public roads within its jurisdiction to transport nonmedical marijuana. Question #9: What is the best way for cities to notify the state licensing agencies of their local ordinances that regulate and/or prohibit commercial non-medical marijuana activities within their jurisdictions? Answer: Unless the state licensing agencies indicate otherwise, cities should mail copies of their local ordinances that regulate or prohibit commercial nonmedical marijuana activities within their jurisdictions to the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the Department of Public Health. Cities should regularly check each Department’s website to ensure that this practice complies with any regulations the Departments may pass regarding notice of local ordinances. In addition, Cities should ensure that any updates or amendments to local ordinances that regulate or prohibit commercial nonmedical marijuana activities are promptly submitted to each Department.
