COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY and
ORDINANCES FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending Article
6.1, Chapter VI of the Los Angeles Municipal Code to amend the Multi-
Family Bulky Item Fee, the Solid Waste Collection, Transfer, Recycling,
Recovery of Waste Resources, and Disposal Fee, and the Low Income
Customer Assistance Program, and amending Subsections (a) and (m)
of Section 5.121.5 of Article 7, Chapter 6, Division 5 of the Los Angeles
Administrative Code to change the fund administrator for the Solid
Waste Resources Special Revenue Fund and the Multi-Family Bulky
Item Fee Special Revenue Fund.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. FIND that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
does not apply to the creation of government funding
mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not
involve any commitment to any specific project that may result
in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment;
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4). The draft
Ordinances are, therefore, not subject to CEQA because they
do "not involve any commitment to any specific project which
may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the
environment." Any CEQA-defined projects constructed from the
funds received from the enactment of these ordinances will be
subject to a project-specific CEQA process before construction.

September 7, 2025, amending Subsections (a) and (d) of

Los Angeles Municipal Code, to amend the Solid Waste

Program, and amending Subsection (a) of Section 5.121.5 of

Administrative Code to change the fund administrator for the
Solid Waste Resources Special Revenue Fund.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
September 7, 2025, adding Subsections (f), (g), (h), and (i) to
Section 66.40 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI, and amending

Section 66.41 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the Los Angeles
Municipal Code to amend the Multi-Family Bulky Item Fee, and

(LAST DAY FOR COUNCIL ACTION – OCTOBER 7, 2025)
10 VOTES REQUIRED
Summary:
On October 7, 2025, your Committee considered a September 29, 2025 Cannabis
Regulation Commission report relative to asserting jurisdiction over the Cannabis
Regulation Commission’s action of September 4, 2025 in approving a Commercial
Cannabis Activity Annual License for the Business Premises located at 8122 North
Sepulveda Boulevard pursuant to Charter Section 245. According to the Motion, on
September 4, 2025, the Cannabis Regulation Commission approved an Annual License
for a Type 10 Storefront Retail Commercial Cannabis Activity at the Business Premises
location 8122 North Sepulveda Blvd.
The property currently houses a liquor store in the first unit that, according to the Los
Angeles Police Department and community accounts, has a long history of public drinking
on and around the site. Less than 1,000 feet south is Marson Park, which also faces
persistent issues with public drinking and related quality-of-life impacts. The unit was
once an illegal dispensary location approximately seven to eight years ago.
Lifelong residents have shared that while the illegal shop was open, littering of cannabis
products, such as cartridges and packaging, was at an all-time high. Additionally, Lopez
and Monterroso Child Day Care is approximately 350 feet from the site. This 18 year
business has witnessed inebriated individuals loitering around their business, and at
times, scaring the patrons. The proposed business does not enhance public safety nor
improve the neighborhood's quality of life. After consideration and having provided an
opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend the veto of the
CRC’s September 4, 2025 action and to note and file the September 29, 2025 CRC report.
This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,

GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to amending the Los
Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to extend the limited grandfathering period for Existing
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries.
Recommendation for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Padilla – Hernandez):
1. REQUEST the City Attorney, with the assistance of the Department of Cannabis
Regulation (DCR), to prepare and present an Ordinance to amend LAMC Section
105.03 to extend the limited grandfathering period for Existing Medical Marijuana
Dispensaries only through December 31, 2029.
2. RESCIND the June 25, 2025 Council action in this matter.
Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative
Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.
Community Impact Statement: Yes
Against:
Studio City Neighborhood Council
Summary:
On October 7, 2025, your Committee considered an Motion (Padilla – Hernandez) relative
to amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code to extend the limited grandfathering period
for Existing Medical Marijuana Dispensaries. According to the Motion, in 2013, the voters
of the City of Los Angeles passed Proposition (Prop) D which established a framework
for limiting Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, exempting them from zoning requirements
as long as they observed certain standards. Those standards included: forbidding minors
from entering the premises; ensuring that each location is not within a 1,000-foot radius
of a school or within a 600-foot radius of a public park, public library, religious institution,
child care facility, youth center, alcoholism/ drug abuse recovery or treatment facility,
among other restrictions.
After the passage of Measure M in 2017, these businesses received limited
grandfathering under LAMC Section 105.03. These businesses, also known as Existing
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries (EMMDs) were permitted to continue operating, so long
as they applied for a license under the newly created DCR and the regulatory structure
created by Articles 104 and 105 of Chapter X of the LAMC. Currently, LAMC Section
105.03 states EMMDs are exempt from the distancing and sensitive use requirements
under Section 105.02 until December 31, 2025.
The vast majority of EMMDs have successfully completed the Annual Licensing process
and have been operating continuously since 2007 in a manner consistent with the Los
Angeles Municipal Code and the DCR’s Rules and Regulations. As required by State law,
these businesses are located at least 600 feet from State-designated sensitive uses.
Additionally, the current economic climate and high State cannabis taxes is already
causing many cannabis businesses to struggle or close their doors. As a result, EMMDs
forced to relocate during this challenging time may not survive the added costs of leasing
new commercial property, moving, and/or construction to bring a new location into
compliance. An extension of the EMMD grandfathering period would ensure consumers
continue to have safe access to tested cannabis products and the City continues to
receive the maximum tax revenue from these sales, especially in advance of the 2026
World Cup and 2028 Olympics. Given that the current EMMD grandfathering period
expires on December 31, 2025, City Council should approve an extension of location
grandfathering for EMMDs only. Therefore, this request supersedes the prior request of
Council in Council File No. 20-1125-S1 for an Ordinance to extend grandfathering to all
licensed businesses which will require a longer administrative process and may not be
enacted before December 31, 2025. After further consideration and having provided an
opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend approval of the
Motion and to rescind the June 25, 2025 Council action in this matter. This matter is now
submitted to Council for its consideration.

PUBLIC COMMENT AND LIVE BROADCAST

https://clerk.lacity.gov/calendar, and on YouTube.
Written public comment may be submitted at LACouncilComment.com.
Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the
Americans with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 978-1133. For
Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.
Telecommunication Relay Services
Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to
advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are
deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating
to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay
service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with
hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone
companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to
the TRS user.
What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and
the equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-
English Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video
Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-
relay-service-trs.
Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello.
This is the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS
provider, to a person who is deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.
For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with
disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES
AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council
meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are
available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.gov or lacouncilcalendar.com.
Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an
item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the
posting of an Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may
be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on
the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public
has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.
The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example,
all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed
agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or
more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this
section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote.
PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda
items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the
Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak
for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative
total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular
meeting.
The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be
limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The
Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.
If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms
with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.
NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at
(213) 978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized
by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the
original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a
question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited
to a maximum of three (3) minutes.
A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this
motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.
Tuesday - October 7, 2025 - PAGE 3
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council
(8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the
agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes
to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on
first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week.
The votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical
ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.
When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must
vote for or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any
member of Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the
Rules, or where an intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally
voted on the prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and
once during the next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present
the agenda number, Council file number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not
debatable and shall require an affirmative vote of eight (8) members of the Council.
When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the
matter, or has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular
meeting for the purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.
The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other
designated officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the
Council action. A motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires
the City Clerk to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.
RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it
having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member)
during a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

ORDINANCES FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending Article
6.1, Chapter VI of the Los Angeles Municipal Code to amend the Multi-
Family Bulky Item Fee, the Solid Waste Collection, Transfer, Recycling,
Recovery of Waste Resources, and Disposal Fee, and the Low Income
Customer Assistance Program, and amending Subsections (a) and (m)
of Section 5.121.5 of Article 7, Chapter 6, Division 5 of the Los Angeles
Administrative Code to change the fund administrator for the Solid
Waste Resources Special Revenue Fund and the Multi-Family Bulky
Item Fee Special Revenue Fund.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
Tuesday - October 7, 2025 - PAGE 7
1. FIND that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
does not apply to the creation of government funding
mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not
involve any commitment to any specific project that may result
in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment;
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4). The draft
Ordinances are, therefore, not subject to CEQA because they
do "not involve any commitment to any specific project which
may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the
environment." Any CEQA-defined projects constructed from the
funds received from the enactment of these ordinances will be
subject to a project-specific CEQA process before construction.
2. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
September 7, 2025, amending Subsections (a) and (d) of
Section 66.40, Subsections (a) and (b) of Section 66.41, and
Subsection A of Section 66.48, of Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the
Los Angeles Municipal Code, to amend the Solid Waste
Collection, Transfer, Recycling, Recovery of Waste Resources,
and Disposal Fee and the Low Income Customer Assistance
Program, and amending Subsection (a) of Section 5.121.5 of
Article 7, Chapter 6, Division 5 of the Los Angeles
Administrative Code to change the fund administrator for the
Solid Waste Resources Special Revenue Fund.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
September 7, 2025, adding Subsections (f), (g), (h), and (i) to
Section 66.40 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI, and amending
Subsections (c) and (e), and repealing Subsection (f), of
Section 66.41 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the Los Angeles
Municipal Code to amend the Multi-Family Bulky Item Fee, and
amending Subsection (m) of Section 5.121.5 of Article 7,
Chapter 6, Division 5 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code to
change the fund administrator for the Multi-Family Bulky Item
Fee Special Revenue Fund.
