In accordance with the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA), CEQA is not applicable
to the zoning and regulatory Ordinances (1400 & 1401) pursuant to Section 15061.13.3 as the Ordinances will
not have the potential for causing a significant impact upon the environment. Since there is no possibility that
the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

LEGAL HISTORY OFwCANNABIS
In 1996, the voters of the state of California approved Proposition 215 (codified as Health' and Safety Code
Section 11362.5 and entitled "The Compassionate Use Act of 1996"). The intent of the Compassionate Use Act
("CUA") was to enable persons in need of marijuana for medical purposes to obtain and use marijuana without
the threat of criminal prosecution under limited and specific circumstances. Under the CUA, "qualified
caregivers" are exempted from being prosecuted under Health and Safety Code Section 11357 (possession of
marijuana) and 11358 (cultivation of marijuana) for specified amounts.
On January 1, 2004, the California State Legislature enacted Senate Bill 420 (the "Medical Marijuana Program
Act" or "MMPA") to clarify the scope of the CUA to allow cities and other governing bodids to adopt and to
enforce rules, regulations, and laws consistent with Senate Bill 420.
The California Supreme Court has made it clear that neither the CUA or MMPA expressly or impliedly
preempts the authority of cities or counties, under their traditional land use nor police powers, to allow, restrict,
limit or entirely exclude marijuana cultivation or distribution within their jurisdictions. The MMPA allows
cities and counties to adopt local ordinances that regulate the location, operation or establishment of medical
marijuana collectives and to enforce such ordinances. The safe distribution of marijuana, as contemplated by
the CUA and the safe the safe distribution of marijuana edibles should include consideration of the safety of all
residents and businesses, not just the users of marijuana or the consumer of marijuana edibles. The proposed
ordinance is designed to address safety and professional management in the operation of any proposed cannabis
business.
On October 9, 2015, the Governor signed three pieces of state legislation which comprise the "Medical
Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act" ("MMRSA"): Assembly Bill (AB) 266, Assembly Bill (AB) 243, and
Senate Bill (SB) 643.
1. AB 266 Establishes a dual licensing structure requiring a state license and a local license or land use
permit. The Department of Consumer Affairs will coordinate the overall regulatory structure
establishing minimum health and safety and testing standards.
2. AB 243 establishes a regulatory and licensing structure for cultivation sites under the Department of
Food and Agriculture.
3. SB 643 establishes criteria for licensing of medical marijuana businesses, regulates physicians, and
recognizes local authority to levy taxes and fees.
Generally and altogether, the MMSRA governs the licensing and control of all medical marijuana business in
the state and approves criminal immunity for licensees. The legislation protects local control in several ways: it
requires dual licensing; local governments may enforce state law in addition to local ordinance (upon request by
the local jurisdiction); and civil and criminal penalties are available for unlicensed activity.
PROPOSITION 64 AND ITS AFTERMATH
In November 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, hereafter referred to as the "Control, Regulate &
Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act" ("AUMA"'), allowing the use and cultivation of recreational marijuana in
certain circumstances. On November 8, 2016, the AUMA was approved by California voters with the passage
of Proposition 64.
Medical Cannabis Ordinance Nos. 1400 and 1401
August 10, 2017
Page 4
The AUMA legalizes for persons 21 years or older the right to: (1) smoke or ingest marijuana or marijuana
products; (2) possess, process, transport, purchase, obtain, give away without compensation to persons 21 years
or older, 28.5 grams of marijuana or 8 grams of concentrated marijuana; and (3) possess, plant, cultivate,
harvest, dry, or process up to six (6) living marijuana plants per legal dwelling unit for personal use.
The AUMA permits local jurisdictions to reasonably regulate, but not ban, indoor cultivation of up to six living
marijuana plants within a private residence for personal use. Private residences include a house, apartment unit,
mobile home, or similar dwelling unit. Permitted cultivation activities are not limited to the residence, but may
also be in a greenhouse on the same property, provided it is fully enclosed, secure, and not visible from a public
space. Smoking remains illegal while driving a vehicle, anywhere where smoking tobacco is illegal, and in all
public spaces.
Businesses may sell cannabis for recreational use by acquiring a state and local license. However, under the
proposed zoning and regulatory Ordinances, all dispensaries remain trohibited in Baldwhi Pai°k.
The measure creates two new taxes, one on cultivation and the other on retail price. Revenues from these taxes
will be 'used on research, treatment, enforcement, health and safety grants addressing marijuana, youth
programs, and preventing environmental damage caused by illegal cannabis production. The tax is $9.25 per
ounce for flowers and $2.75 per ounce for leaves, with the exception of some medical marijuana sales and
cultivation. The second is a 15 percent tax on the retail price of marijuana. Taxes will be adjusted for inflation
starting in 2020.
The United States Justice Department, in 2013, proclaimed it would not target lawful marijuAna businesses or
cannabis use in states that legalized marijuana use and also enacted and enforced "robust" regulations
permitting marijuana industries. Local jurisdictions are permitted to regulate and ban outdoor cultivation, until
such time as the United States Attorney General determines that the use of non-medical marijuana is lawful in
California under Federal law.
Additionally, the AUMA creates a California regulatory and licensing system governing the commercial
cultivation, testing, distribution, transportation, manufacturing, and sale of non-medical marijuana and non-
medical marijuana products. No firm timeframe has been established for this licensing system, however,
January 1, 2018, has been indicated as the date by which the State will begin to issue licenses. Additionally,
under the AUMA, the State will have a comprehensive regulatory system for commercial activities (versus
personal) related to non-medical marijuana. The State-run Bureau of Marijuana Control, currently known as the
Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation, will have primary oversight for enforcing the AUMA. A State
marijuana license will be valid for one year. A separate State license will be required for each commercial
marijuana business location. With the exception of testing facilities, any person or entity licensed under
AUMA may apply for and be issued more than one type of State license.
On April 28, 2017, the State released draft regulations for businesses to track medical marijuana and medical
marijuana products from seed to sale, for how medical marijuana can be transported, and required security
measures for medical marijuana dispensaries. The comment period is a minimum of 45 days and staff
anticipates it will take some time before the regulations are finalized. Additionally, the Bureau of Medical
Cannabis Regulation is in the process of developing the State's first Cannabis Advisory Committee, which will
help to finalize regulations for medical and non-medical marijuana. As of May 2017, there were 56 pending
State laws regarding marijuana.

MEDICAL AND ADULT -USE CANNABIS REGULATIONAND SAFETYACT
Recently, the Governor signed a new bill, SB 94, entitled the "Medical and Adult -Use Cannabis Regulation and
Safety Act" ("MAUCRSA"), which took effect immediately. MAUCRSA melds the State's medical -only
regulations passed by the legislature (a.k.a. MCRSA) with the adult -use rules approved by the voters under
Prop. 64. For the most part, MAUCRSA follows the more flexible, industry -friendly rules of AUMA, such as
allowing applicants to get licenses in different phases of the industry—cultivation, manufacture, distribution
and retailing — rather than restrict so-called "vertical integration" by allowing just a single kind of license, as
under MCRSA. It also eliminates MCRSA's independent distributor requirement, authorizes the issuance of
temporary special -event licenses, and drops the California residency requirement for license applicants.
Under MAUCRSA, applicants have the choice of applying for a medical "Type M" or adult -use "Type A"
license in any category (cultivating, manufacture, etc.). It requires medical and adult -use businesses to operate
separately, however a provision to allow co -location of adult and medical use facilities has been incorporated in
a separate regulatory clean-up bill. AB 64 would: (1) allow medical and adult -use licenses,to operate on the
same premises; (2) amend California's Model State Trademark Law to allow trademarks for cannabis products;
and (3) allow existing medical collectives, which must still operate as not -for -profits under SB 420 pending
state regulation, to operate on a for-profit basis immediately.
Currently, California Business & Professions Code §26000, et seq., provides the State's comprehensive system
to control and regulate the cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, processing, and sale of medical marijuana
and adult use marijuana for persons 21 years old and over.
CITY'S REGULATION OF CANNABIS
In addition to adding Medical and Adult Use Cannabis to Industrial and Industrial Commercial zones with a
Permit and Development Agreement, the City is proposing adding Chapter 127 of Title XI of the Municipal
Code. The ordinance contains many safeguards to assure that the City and its citizens are protected and that any
marijuana licensees conduct their businesses safely. Among the safeguards are:
a) No manufacturing or cultivation site will be located with six hundred (600) feet of a school, daycare
center, or youth center. No manufacturing or cultivation site will be within fifty (50) feet of a residential
zone;
b) All manufacturing and cultivation sites will be limited to certain city Industrial (I) and Industrial
Commercial (IC) zones;
c) All manufacturing and cultivation will occur in enclosed, locked structures;
d) All manufacturing and cultivation sites, and operations therein, and all equipment .used, must be in
compliance with all applicable state and local laws, including all building, electrical, and fire codes;
e) The use and storage of hazardous materials, including flammable gas, flammable liquefied gas, and
combustible materials, must comply with all the Fire Code standards;
0 All manufacture and cultivation sites are required to be fire sprinkled under the Fire Code standards;
g) From. a public right-of-way, there should be no exterior evidence of the manufacture or cultivation of
cannabis, except for any authorized signage;
Medical Cannabis Ordinance Nos. 1400 and 1401
August 10, 2017
Page 6
h) All transportation of cannabis must comply with state law;
i) High standards for granting permits, with many grounds for denial of a permit;
j) Requirements for security cameras to be installed and maintained on sites;
k) Alarm system requirements for sites;
1) Requirements that licensees implement a system to track the cultivation and manufacturing of cannabis,
in order to prevent the licensee from diverting or transporting cannabis to any location not authorized by
state law;
m) Video surveillance requirements;
n) All applicants must execute an agreement indemnifying the City from any claims, damages, injuries, or
liabilities of any kinds associated with operation of the marijuana facilities;
o) Requirements that the facilities maintain insurance, in amounts and types acceptable to the City,
including naming the City as an additional insured;
p) Requiring inspections by the Chief Executive Officer or his designee, law enforcement or their
designees, of the facilities;
q) Control and regulation of noxious odors; and
r) Provide the City-wide powers to summarily suspend or revoke permits, or disqualify an applicant from
the registration process.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
It is important that the City begin the processes related to permitting businesses to manufacture and cultivate
cannabis within its jurisdiction as soon as possible. The City has adopted an aggressive schedule to get the
ordinance effective because any cannabis businesses with a local permit and in operation by January 1,. 2018
will receive preferential treatment by the State when the State begins issuing licenses on January 1, 2018. If a
cannabis business does not have a local permit and be in operation by January 1, 2017, that business will go to
the back of the line for State permits and could wait 12-24 months after January 1, 2018 before getting a State
permit to operate. Therefore, it is critical to have the systems in place for selecting permittees and for issuing
permits by mid-September in order to allow our applicants to get "up and running" by January 1, 2018. It is
believed that the applicants will need several months to build their facility, install cameras and ventilation
systems and perform all the necessary tasks to allow the business to be "in operation."
REVENUE TO CITY
The expected revenue to the City is estimated to be approximately $330,000.00 for each 22,000 sq, ft. license
for cultivation and manufacturing of cannabis for a total of $4,950,000.00. This estimate is based on 15 permits
being issued by the City, with each cannabis facility covering 22,000 sq. ft.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may choose to reject the proposed Ordinances altogether or to revise the Ordinances, however, since
the process is timeline for publication, public hearings and approval can be lengthy, completing the process
prior to the January 1, 2018, timeline of the State could be jeopardized by any delays.

ORDINANCE NO. 1400
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER
127, MEDICAL AND ADULT USE COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS, OF TITLE XI, BUSINESS REGULATIONS TO
THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Baldwin Park ("City") and Baldwin Park Municipal Code
(BPMC) currently does not allow medical and adult commercial cannabis cultivation,
manufacturing, and distribution uses; and
WHEREAS, since early 2017, in several City Council Study Sessions, there has
been discussion about amending the City's Municipal Code to allow and regulate
Cannabis Cultivation, Manufacturing and Distribution uses within the City of Baldwin
Park, provided development standards and a Development Agreement are included;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Baldwin Park held five (5) educational and public
outreach sessions at various locations throughout the City to bring awareness to the
community; and
WHEREAS, the educational and public outreach sessions were held at the
Baldwin Park Senior Center, the Baldwin Park Performing Arts Center, and the Baldwin
Park Arts and Recreation Center; and
WHEREAS, each educational and public outreach session had speakers from
the City as well as industry experts who presented information and were available to
answer any questions; and
WHEREAS, Sections 153.120.330.0 and 153.120.330.D should be deleted
because they are in conflict with the proposal to allow Medical and Adult Cannabis
Cultivation, Manufacturing and Distribution uses as proposed; and
WHEREAS, Section 15061(b)(3) of Chapter 3, Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations (the "CEQA Guidelines") describes the general rule that CEQA only applies
to projects which "have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment";
where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question
may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA;
and zoning regulations do not constitute the approval of any development project, and
will therefore not result in any physical change in the environment; and
WHEREAS, on August 9, 2017, after conducting a properly noticed public
hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 17-13 recommending
that the City Council update the BPMC as it pertains to Medical and Adult Cannabis

ORDINANCE NO. 1401
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING BALDWIN
PARK MUNICIPAL CODE, TABLE 153.050.020 AND THE
DELETION OF SUBSECTIONS 153.120.330.0 AND
153.120.330.D OF THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Baldwin Park ("City") and Baldwin Park Municipal Code
(BPMC) currently does not allow medical and adult cannabis cultivation, manufacturing,
distribution uses; and
WHEREAS, since early 2017, in several City Council Study Sessions, there has
been discussion about amending the City's Municipal Code to Cannabis Cultivation,
Manufacturing and Distribution uses within the City of Baldwin Park, provided
development standards are included; and
WHEREAS, the City of Baldwin Park held five (5) educational and public
outreach sessions at various locations throughout the City to bring awareness to the
community; and
WHEREAS, the educational and public outreach sessions were held at the
Baldwin Park Senior Center, the Baldwin Park Performing Arts Center, and the Baldwin
Park Arts and Recreation Center; and
WHEREAS; each educational and public outreach session had speakers from
the City as well as industry experts who presented information and were available to
answer any questions; and
WHEREAS, Sections 153.120.330.0 and 153.120.330.D should be deleted
because they are in conflict with the proposal to allow Medical and Adult Cannabis
Cultivation, Manufacturing and Distribution uses as proposed; and
WHEREAS; Section 15061(b)(3) of Chapter 3, Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations (the "CEQA Guidelines") describes the general rule that CEQA only applies
to projects which "have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment";
where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question
may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA;
and zoning regulations do not constitute the approval of any development project, and
will therefore not result in any physical change in the environment; and
WHEREAS, on August 9, 2017, after conducting a properly noticed public
hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 17-13 recommending
that the City Council update the BPMC as it pertains to Medical and Adult Cannabis
Cultivation, Manufacturing and Distribution Uses; and
Ordinance No. 1401
