File Number: 14-129 <br />Div. 1), the City Council decided that it would allow the moratorium to expire. The City Council <br />also directed the City Council Rules and Communications Committee to develop an ordinance <br />and amendments to the Zoning Code to allow a limited number of dispensaries to operate in <br />the City. That direction culminated in the draft proposed ordinance now before the City <br />Council. Recommended Zoning Code amendments that conform to the proposed ordinance <br />were drafted, and presented, along with the proposed ordinance, to the City’s Board of Zoning <br />Adjustments for review and comment. In accordance with State law, the Zoning Code <br />amendments were presented to the Planning Commission for review, comment, and <br />recommendation to the City Council. <br />The ordinance itself is modeled after the City of Oakland’s 2011 amendments to its medical <br />cannabis dispensary ordinance; the proposed ordinance also borrows from the City and <br />County of San Francisco Department of Public Health’s regulations related to edible cannabis <br />product handling, labeling, and distribution. The ordinance is in strict compliance with the <br />California Attorney General’s August 2008 Guidelines for the Security and Non-Diversion of <br />Marijuana Grown for Medical Use. Staff also believes that the ordinance complies with the <br />common law related to the establishment and regulations that may be imposed upon the <br />operation of medical marijuana dispensaries. <br />The proposed Zoning Code amendments were analyzed by the City Attorney’s Office and <br />found to be in conformance with the California Government Code as well as the local General <br />Plan and Zoning Code. <br />ATTACHMENT(S) <br />Attachment(s) to Staff Report <br />·Exhibit A: Eligible Medical Marijuana Dispensary Areas Map (showing zoning and buffers ) <br />·Exhibit B: Eligible Locations for One Medical Marijuana Dispensary Areas Map (showing <br />eligible locations, only) <br />·Exhibit C: Ordinance 2013-020 (for reference) <br />·Exhibit D: Excerpt of the Minutes of the Board of Zoning Adjustments meeting of February <br />6, 2014 <br />·Exhibit E: Excerpt of the Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of February 20, <br />2014 <br />Attachment(s) to Related Legislative File <br />·Exhibit A: Proposed Zoning Code Amendments to Article 3, Section 1-304 Definitions; <br />Article 6, Section 2-606 CC Districts - Use Regulations; Article 7, Sections 2-706 IG District <br />- Use Regulations, 2-708 IP District - Use Regulations, and 2-712 IG(AU) District - Use <br />Regulations; and Article 17, Section 4-1704 Off-Street Parking and Loading Spaces <br />Required <br />PREPARED BY: Sally Barros, Principal Planner, Community Development Department <br />Page 8 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/16/2014
