DATE: February 26, 2018
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council .through City Manager
FROM: Ingrid Alverde, Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending the Text of the Implementing Zoning
Ordinance to Accommodate Commercial Cannabis Businesses in Business Park
and Industrial Zones
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council Introduce an Ordinance Amending the Text of the
Implementing Zoning Ordinance to Accommodate Commercial Cannabis Businesses in Business
Park and Industrial Zones. Subject to and in Accordance with Chapter 10.15 of the Petaluma
Municipal Code, the City of Petaluma Commercial Cannabis Permit Regulations, and Other
Applicable Law.
BACKGROUND
On December 4, 2017, the City Council adopted an ordinance banning medical and adult use
cannabis - related activities in the City with exceptions allowed for cultivation and specified
manufacturing, testing and retail delivery operations . On December 18, 2017 the City Council
approved a resolution adopting comprehensive regulations providing for how commercial
cannabis businesses would be permitted and regulated within the City of Petaluma.
The City's Cannabis Ordinance provides that limited commercial cannabis activity permitted
under the Cannabis Ordinance may only be conducted in areas of the City where the City's
zoning regulations permit such uses. Because the City's zoning regulations currently do not
address commercial cannabis activity, a zoning text amendment is needed to identify where such
businesses can locate before commercial cannabis permits can be issued. Staff proposed a
zoning text amendment, based on discussion with the City Council that limits commercial
cannabis activity to business park and industrial zones. On January 26, 2018, the Planning
Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council approve text amendments
to the Implementing Zoning Ordinance to accommodate commercial cannabis businesses in
Business Park and Industrial Zones.
DISCUSSION
Zoning text amendments are governed by Chapter 25 of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance and
by California Government Code Section 65853. Chapter 25 provides that the Planning
Commission may recommend zoning text amendments for approval to the City Council based on
Planning Commission findings that the proposed amendments are in conformance with the City's
General Plan and consistent with the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare.
The Planning Commission agreed with staff's recommendation that cannabis businesses are most
appropriately located in Business Park (BP) and Industrial (I) zones in the City because the
operational impacts most resemble light manufacturing, laboratory testing, and warehousing and
distribution — uses that are currently allowed in the BP and I zoning districts.
As a result of a number of features included in the City Council's adopted Cannabis Regulations,
it is sufficient to permit commercial cannabis activity in Business Park and Industrial districts by
right (subject to compliance with the City's Cannabis Regulations) without also requiring
cannabis business operators to obtain conditional use permits. Under the City Council's adopted
regulations, commercial cannabis permits will be issued annually — providing a 1 -year
entitlement to conduct a commercial cannabis activity. If a business does not meet program
requirements, the City's Cannabis Regulations can be enforced using Petaluma's code
compliance process or by denying a renewal of the permit for the following year. Permit
renewals can be denied if it is found that a commercial cannabis business presents one or more of
the following characteristics:
• Would threaten the public health, safety or welfare by continuing to operate
• Provided incorrect or misleading information on their application
• Failed to operate in accordance with all local, state and federal laws
• Has had its state commercial cannabis license revolted
• Closed for three consecutive months
• Is no longer a permitted use under state law
• Would subject the City and /or its officials to federal enforcement
• Should have its cannabis business permit suspended, revoked or modified to protect the
public health, safety and welfare due to changed circumstances from the time the permit
was issued
• Has not remained current on applicable City taxes or fees
Accordingly, under the City's Cannabis Regulations, permits for cannabis businesses can be
revolted if the business is causing adverse impacts to the community or is otherwise violating the
City's Cannabis Regulations. The City's commercial cannabis permit program will be managed
by the Petaluma Police Department, which will have substantial regulatory tools available under
the City's Cannabis Regulations to protect public safety even without conditional use permit -
type requirements for commercial cannabis businesses under the City's Zoning Ordinance.
State law prohibits commercial cannabis businesses from operating on property located within
600 feet of a school or a childcare center. The recommended resolution and ordinance
establishes additional buffers to separate cannabis businesses by at least 200 feet from pants,
youth centers, and libraries, and 100 feet from residential districts. This recommendation is
incorporated in footnote 18 in the attached resolution and draft ordinance. Attachment 3
illustrates the locations where commercial cannabis businesses could locate consistent with the
staff recommendation.

In addition to changes to the text and use matrix of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance, changes
to Chapter 28 — Glossary are needed to define the new uses referenced in the use tables. The uses
to be added and defined are:
• Laboratory — Cannabis — testing laboratories that offer or perform testing of cannabis or
cannabis products in accordance with Petaluma Municipal Code sections 10. 15.020 and
10.15.040, and the current City of Petaluma Commercial Cannabis Permit Regulations.
• Manufacturing — Cannabis - businesses that manufacture and sell topical or edible
cannabis products using cannabis infusions, infusion processes, or cannabis concentrates
only business to business (non - retail) in accordance with Petaluma Municipal Code
section 10. 15.040 and the current City of Petaluma Commercial Cannabis Permit
Regulations. Excludes manufacture of cannabis products involving volatile solvents, and
repackaging cannabis or cannabis products or re- labeling cannabis or cannabis product
containers.
• Retail Sale and Delivery — Cannabis — businesses that sell cannabis and cannabis
products using a delivery -only method at a maximum of two different locations in the
City, with no sale of cannabis or cannabis products to customers, primary care givers or
qualified patients occurring at the business location, no customers, primary care givers or
qualified patients permitted at the business location at any time and no signage at the
business location or on the delivery vehicles indicating the presence of cannabis or
cannabis products or that the seller sells cannabis or cannabis products in accordance
Petaluma Municipal Code sections 10.15.040 and 10.15.060, and the Current City of
Petaluma Commercial Cannabis Permit Regulations.
The Planning Commission made the necessary findings that the proposal conforms to the
Petaluma General Plan, and is consistent with the public necessity, convenience and general
welfare in accordance with Section 25.050(B) of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance. This
proposal is consistent with and supports the City of Petaluma General Plan's Economic Health
and Sustainability Element by fostering economic vitality, diversity and opportunity for local
businesses such that they will provide meaningful employment for Petaluma residents. Allowing
Petaluma businesses to participate in a new economic sector created by state law legalization of
adult use and medicinal cannabis will support fiscal soundness for the City of Petaluma.
Also, this action supports Section 9.1 of the General Plan, Economic Opportunity, by allowing
the community to capitalize on local assets and eliminate the conditions that discourage
businesses from remaining in or relocating to the City.
These text amendments will also provide an array of employment opportunities to existing and
future residents by assuring diversity in Petaluma's industry and enterprise mix. Manufacturing,
testing and delivery of commercial and medicinal cannabis will also support local businesses that
rely substantially on local inputs to produce the products that they export to the rest of the region
and elsewhere as outlined in General Plan Section 9.2, Economic Sustainability.

The Planning Commission found that the proposed amendments are consistent with the public
necessity, convenience and welfare of the City in that they:
• Ensure Petaluma's land use and zoning regulations provide for safe and appropriate
locations where testing, manufacturing and delivery -only retail sales of Adult and
Medical Cannabis can occur consistent with Chapter 10.15 of the Petaluma Municipal
Code Section and the current City of Petaluma Commercial Cannabis Permit
Regulations; and
• Comply with the Medicinal and Adult -Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act
(MAUCRSA) adopted by the California legislature; and
• Comply with government code sections 26000 — 26231.2 that establish a comprehensive
system to control and regulate the cultivation, distribution, transport, and storage of adult
use and medicinal cannabis products for patients with valid physician's recommendations
and adults 21 years of age and over; and
• Provide for buffers to assure that establishments testing, manufacturing or selling
cannabis products are a safe distance from schools, child care centers, parks, and
residential land uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed zoning text amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15061(b) (3), 15183, 15301, 15302, and 15303 as follows:
Section 15061(b) (3), General Rule, of the CEQA Guidelines is applicable as there is no
possibility that the activity may have a significant impact on the environment in that specified
uses are limited to those expressly permitted under the proposed zoning text amendments and the
permitted uses are subject to compliance with all applicable state laws including the Medical
Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act and all provisions of the California Department of Toxic
Substance Control.
Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines provides an exemption for projects that are consistent
with the General Plan. The subject zoning text amendments will direct commercial cannabis
businesses to appropriate business park and industrial zones where similar uses are already
permitted, such as allowing cannabis manufacturing or cannabis testing uses where non - cannabis
manufacturing or testing facilities are currently allowed.
Sections 15301, 15302, and 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines, are applicable in that the proposed
zoning amendments will allow commercial cannabis businesses with a City of Petaluma issued
Commercial Cannabis Permit to: 1) re- tenant existing commercial and industrial facilities
designed to support such uses; 2) replace, modify or otherwise reconstruct existing commercial
and industrial facilities with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose and capacity;
and /or 3) construct new small structures including fences, gates, greenhouses, and small scale
Page 4
commercial and industrial facilities. There are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances or
other factors that would make the exemption inapplicable.
For the above reasons, the proposed amendments are exempt from environmental review
