Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Amending Section 30-10 (Cannabis) to (1) Add Cannabis Retail Businesses as Conditionally Permitted Uses in the C-1, Neighborhood Business, and C-M, Commercial-Manufacturing Zoning Districts, (2) Amend Certain Portions of the Zoning Code to Enable Cannabis Retail Businesses to Dispense Non-medicinal or “Adult Use” Cannabis, and (3) Amend Certain Portions of the Zoning Code to Remove the Dispersion Requirement
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Alameda:
Findings.
In enacting this Section, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The amendment maintains the integrity of the General Plan.
The proposed Zoning text amendments update the City’s cannabis regulations in light of the City’s semi-annual report on cannabis in a manner that complies with State law enacted through the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), and any implementing regulations. Specifically, the amendments add provisions further regulating cannabis businesses in the city. The proposed amendments to regulate cannabis activity are necessary to ensure a balance between the rights of cannabis businesses, providers, and users with the obligations of the City under the General Plan to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community through land use regulations and processes. Furthermore, the proposed amendments establish additional land use regulations for cannabis businesses, a new industry that would support an overarching General Plan goal to provide adequate businesses and services to Alameda residents. For these reasons, the proposed amendments maintain the integrity of the General Plan.
2. The amendment will support the general welfare of the community.
The primary purpose and intent of the proposed Zoning text amendments is to regulate cannabis activities in a manner that protects the public health, safety and welfare of the community. The proposed Zoning text amendments support the general welfare of the community by establishing land use regulations for cannabis business activity and personal use and cultivation. Absent appropriate regulation, cannabis business activities including, but not limited to, unregulated cultivation, manufacturing, processing, and distribution have been documented throughout communities in California to pose a potential threat to the public health, safety and welfare. The proposed amendments allow the City to ensure that land use decisions regarding cannabis business activity are made according to specific rules and regulations and through a public process. The proposed rules and regulations ensure that cannabis business activities in the city will be conducted in an orderly manner, avoiding potential public nuisance, land use conflicts and adverse impacts to the public health, safety and general welfare that may occur in the absence of these regulations.
3. The amendments are equitable.
The proposed Zoning text amendments are equitable in that they balance the rights of cannabis businesses, providers, and users with the obligations of the City to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community through land use regulations and processes. The proposed regulations enable cannabis businesses to operate, and personal consumption and cultivation to occur, under the rights and privileges provided under State law while establishing rules and regulations that protect the general public from potential adverse impacts of cannabis business activity and personal consumption and cultivation. The proposed Zoning text amendments are also equitable in that they establish appropriate processes and procedures for the review of cannabis business activity that balance the community’s need for local cannabis businesses, but also provides appropriate oversight and discretion for individual applications.
