PUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda. 15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT - TEMPORARY PLACEHOLDER BAN ON COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION OF MEDICAL CANNABIS - FILE NO. REZ15-007 BACKGROUND: On October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 266, Assembly Bill 243, and Senate Bill 643, which together establish a framework for regulating medical marijuana. This item was prepared in response to a March 1, 2016 deadline stipulated in Assembly Bill 243 and provides the City with an opportunity to retain local control over medical cannabis cultivation by responding by the deadline. The proposal would add Chapter 20-46, titled Medical Cannabis Cultivation, to the Santa Rosa City Code to implement a temporary placeholder prohibition of commercial cultivation of medical cannabis until September 1, 2016, or until such time as the Legislature acts to eliminate the deadline to have a permissive local land use ordinance in place regarding commercial cultivation of marijuana. The prohibition would not apply to personal cultivation which is exempt by state law. Adoption of this temporary ordinance will serve as a placeholder, retaining local control over the land use, and allowing sufficient time to City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report Page 8 of 9 City Council JANUARY 19, 2016 prepare local regulations with input from the Council subcommittee and the public. The City Council and staff may also discuss if there are alternative actions that could be taken rather than a ban that would still allow the City to maintain local control over regulation. If direction is given to pursue an alternative action, said action would be noticed and brought back to the Council for further action. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department and the City Attorney’s Office that the Council adopt an ordinance adding Chapter 20-46, Medical Cannabis Cultivation to the Santa Rosa City Code, to retain local control and implement a temporary placeholder ban on commercial cannabis cultivation until September 1, 2016, or provide direction for staff to bring back an alternative ordinance that would preserve local control for approval. It is further recommended that the City Council, by resolution, initiate an amendment to Title 20 (Zoning) of the City Code to comprehensively address medical cannabis as a land use.
