FROM: KURT CHISTIANSEN, FAICP, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR
DATE: JUNE 5, 2016
SUBJECT: FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 88.42.035 (MEDICAL
MARIJUANA USES) OF CHAPTER 88 (DEVELOPMENT CODE) OF AZUSA CODE
TO REGULATE THE PERSONAL, MEDICAL AND COMMERCIAL USE OF
MARIJUANA
SUMMARY:
On November 8, 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, also known as Adult Use of
Marijuana Act (AUMA), which legalized recreational use of marijuana for adults over 21 years of age,
beginning on November 9, 2016. As of that date, AUMA immediately legalized possession, transport,
purchase, use, and transfer of recreational marijuana for individuals 21 years of age or older. Under
AUMA, adults can possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana, up to 8 grams of marijuana in the form of
concentrated cannabis, which may be present in marijuana products such as edibles, and up to six living
marijuana plants, and any marijuana produced by those plants. It also legalized the cultivation of
marijuana, marijuana delivery services, and recreational marijuana retail services.
However, AUMA allows for local control of marijuana uses. It allows local governments to:
Ban all marijuana-related businesses outright, including marijuana dispensaries, delivery
services, and any recreational marijuana retail services.
Ban outdoor cultivation of marijuana, unless the California Attorney General determines
marijuana is no longer illegal under federal law (If marijuana is federally legalized, outdoor
cultivation could be regulated, but not prohibited).
Reasonably regulate indoor cultivation in private residences, but not ban it outright. AUMA
would allow individuals to grow up to six marijuana plants in their home, and to possess all of
the marijuana those plants provide.
Prior to the passage of AUMA by California voters, the City Council adopted a temporary
moratorium on marijuana uses pending the enactment of an update to the City’s Municipal Code.
City staff, in conjunction with the City Attorney’s Office, has drafted proposed regulations
surrounding the personal, medical and commercial use of marijuana and the issuance of Residential
Indoor Marijuana Cultivation (RIMC) permits. The proposed action introduces for first reading by

first reading, by title only, Ordinance No. 2017-02, amending Section 88.42.035 (Medical
Marijuana Uses) of Chapter 88 (Development Code) of the Azusa Municipal Code to regulate
the personal, medical, and commercial use of marijuana; and
3) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-C35:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING FEES FOR
RESIDENTIAL INDOOR MARIJUANA CULTIVATION (RIMC)
PERMITS
4) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-C36:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING USE OF LIVE SCAN
TECHNOLOGY TO ASSIST WITH RESIDENTIAL INDOOR
MARIJUANA CULTIVATION (RIMC) PERMITS
DISCUSSION:
On October 17, 2016, the City Council passed an urgency ordinance prohibiting marijuana dispensaries,
manufacturers, cultivation, delivery, and all other commercial marijuana activities in all zones of the
City of Azusa. Last November, the voters approved Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of
Marijuana Act (AUMA), which legalizes recreational marijuana use, cultivation and businesses. While
AUMA does set some minimum standards for cities and counties regarding recr eational marijuana, it
preserves significant local land use authority. This includes the ability to permit and regulate or ban
marijuana businesses.
On November 21, 2016, the City Council passed to extend an urgency ordinance prohibiting marijuana
dispensaries, manufacturers, cultivation, delivery, and all other commercial marijuana activities in all
zones of the City of Azusa. The ordinance was extended for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15)
days, the temporary moratorium on marijuana uses pending the enactment of an update to the City’s
Municipal Code. The moratorium expires on October 6, 2017.
City staff, in conjunction with the City Attorney’s Office, has drafted proposed regulations surrounding
the personal, medical and commercial use of marijuana and the issuance of Residential Indoor
Marijuana Cultivation (RIMC) permits. Attached to this report is a proposed Ordinance that would
Code Amendment Regulating Marijuana Uses
June 5, 2017
Page 3 of 6
amend Section 88.42.035 of the Municipal Code (Development Code) to regulate the personal, medical
and commercial use of marijuana and to provide procedures for City issued RIMC permits.
On May 10, 2017, the City of Azusa Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing,
upon hearing all testimonies from the public, the Commission recommended to City Council, approval
of proposed Ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
As noted above, the City currently bans medical marijuana dispensaries, delivery services, and outdoor
cultivation through its urgency ordinance. The City now wishes to codify those regulations and indoor
cultivation regulations in its Municipal Code. These regulations are permissible because AUMA
authorizes cities to “reasonably regulate” indoor cultivation of marijuana in private residences, ban
outdoor cultivation of marijuana entirely unless it is federally legalized, and prohibit any marijuana-
related business entirely.
The City’s effort to “reasonably regulate” indoor marijuana cultivation is to codify procedures in the
Municipal Code for Residential Indoor Marijuana Cultivation (RIMC) permits. The RIMC permit will
require that any persons cultivating marijuana within residences be subject to certain regulatory
standards, including a limitation to no more than six marijuana plants. For example, permit applications
will not be approved unless the applicant is 21 or older, has no history of drug-related felonies, has no
pending or past code enforcement actions in the City, and has paid all City taxes, fees, and other
charges. The residence where the cultivation occurs must be the applicant’s primary dwelling (i.e.,
“grow houses” are prohibited) and must not be substandard; the cultivation area must be indoors and
secured, must not be accessible to minors, must not be visible or detectible from the outside.
Commercial transactions related to marijuana may not occur at the residence. Finally, violations of any
permit requirements are grounds for permit revocation and enforcement actions.
Live Scan
Live Scan is a system for the electronic submission of applicant fingerprints and the subsequent
automated background check and response. Live Scan technology replaces the process of recording an
applicant’s fingerprints manually through a rolling process using ink and a fingerprint card by allowing
fingerprints to be digitized and instantaneously transferred to central computers at the Department of
Justice.
Once fingerprints and data are received by the Department of Justice (DOJ), they are electronically
processed by the DOJ, and an automatic response is generated if no criminal history matches are
processed. Live Scan transmissions requiring analysis of a criminal record take slightly longer, but can
be responded to by email as soon as a full analysis of the criminal history is conducted.
The Live Scan process is a faster and more efficient means of conducting background checks, and
provides the City with only the information it is requesting. For purposes of the RIMC Permit, the City
will only learn whether an applicant has a conviction for selling, manufacturing, transporting, or
cultivating a controlled substance within the last five years.
Once the City has passed a resolution and completed the necessary applications to begin processing Live
Scan data, the cost for any individual background check can be charged to the applicant as part of their
Code Amendment Regulating Marijuana Uses
June 5, 2017
Page 4 of 6
application process, meaning the cost to the City of processing any Live Scan application will be
minimal.
NOTICING:
A legal notice of the public hearing on the pending Ordinance was published in the legal advertisement
section of San Gabriel Valley Tribune newspaper on May 18, 2017. This notice was posted in three
public places and posted on the City’s website at www.ci.azusa.ca.us. As of the date of this Staff
Report, no public correspondence has been received
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff has reviewed the project for conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and determined that the activity is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3)
and 15061(b)(3). The activity is not subject to CEQA because it will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; the activity is not a project as defined in
Section 15378, and the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only 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 may have a significant effect on the environment,
the activity is not subject to CEQA.
ZONING CODE AMEDMENT FINDING OF FACTS:
In order to approve the Zoning Code Amendment, the Planning Commission must make the following
Finding of Facts as described per Azusa Municipal Code 88.51.060 – Zoning Amendments:
A. That the proposed zoning code amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and
objectives of the General Plan, any applicable specific plan, development agreement, owner
participation agreement or disposition and development agreement.
The Municipal Code amendment conforms to the goals, objectives and policies of the General
Plan, which provides for orderly, functional patterns of land uses, sensitive to the natural
environment and meeting the long-term social and economic needs of the community. This City
is exercising its police power granted under California Government Code Section 65800 et. seq.
in regulating personal, medical, and commercial marijuana activities in the City.
The proposed Municipal Code amendment is necessary to implement the General Plan and to
provide for public safety, convenience and/or general welfare. This amendment is proposed and
enacted to protect and preserve the public health, safety, welfare and convenience, and to
enhance the quality of life of the citizens of the City. California cities that have permitted
unregulated cultivation, marijuana dispensaries and delivery services have experienced negative
affects to the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens.
Cities that have permitted unregulated marijuana activities have experienced an overabundance
and overconcentration of such uses, burglaries and takeover robberies, robberies of customers, an
increase in crime in the vicinity of the dispensaries, illegal re-selling of marijuana obtained from
dispensaries, physicians issuing apparently fraudulent recommendations for the use of marijuana,
Code Amendment Regulating Marijuana Uses
June 5, 2017
Page 5 of 6
dispensary staff selling marijuana to customers with obviously counterfeit patient identification
cards, street dealers attempting to sell marijuana to dispensary customers, dispensary customers
using marijuana and then driving under the influence of marijuana, the selling of illegal drugs
other than marijuana in the dispensaries, and the selling of marijuana and marijuana products to
minors.
The proposed Municipal Code amendment conforms with the intent of Municipal Code,
specifically that zones are created and land uses established to protect the physical, social and
economic stability of residential, commercial, recreational and other land uses within the City to
assure orderly and beneficial development; to protect existing resident and property owners from
the adverse effects of incompatible uses; to reduce hazards to the public resulting from
inappropriate land uses; and to establish Azusa as a safe community with a high quality of life
for residents. The proposed Municipal Code amendment is consistent with provisions contained
in the Municipal Code, specifically the land use regulation is being enacted to protect residential
properties and dwellings from incompatible uses, light, glare, odors, visual blight and other
objectionable conditions; and to protect adjacent properties from incompatible uses, light, glare,
odors, visual blight, and other objectionable conditions resulting from uses having a higher
intensity.
The Municipal Code amendment is reasonable and beneficial at this time. The City desires to
regulate marijuana land uses within the City limits. Although the City has adopted regulations, it
is recommended that the language in the Municipal Code be updated to clearly meet the City’s
desire to retain local control over these land uses in light of AUMA being passed by the voters.
B. That the proposed zone change will not adversely affect surrounding properties.
A zone change is not proposed as a component of this Code Amendment. Therefore, the
proposed Development Code Amendment would not adversely affect surrounding properties
because current land use and zoning designations will remain as they are.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is recommending the City establish a related permitting fee to process the RIMC Permits.
The total for each RIMC Permit fee shall be $426.00 and renewal fee for each permit shall be $213.00
plus associated fees for Live Scan. This amount, as required by law, represents the reasonable
relationship between the fees to be collected and the cost incurred by the City for processing permit
applications. The data compiled by City staff to calculate the estimated hours and costs for processing
per applications is shown in Attachment 4.
The proposed recommendation will increase the General Fund permit revenues by $2,127 ($425.3816 X
5) under a conservative forecast of five permits annually since this is brand new program, and each
subsequent annual renewal will increase the General Fund revenues by an estimated amount of $1,064
($212.6905 X 5) plus the actual cost of Live Scan.
The City has the authority to impose fees, charges and rates under the police power granted by Article
XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution. The City will follow the procedures outlined in the
California Government Code to implement the permit fee.

health, safety, and welfare are likely to occur, and continue to occur, in the City due to the
establishment and operation of marijuana cultivation, processing, and distribution uses; and
WHEREAS, the City believes a Recreational Indoor Marijuana Cultivation (“RIMC”)
permit is a reasonable requirement to ensure that all marijuana grown in the City is grown in
code-compliant structures that reduce the risk of fire, mold, or other structural damage and
contamination; and

significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance would amend section 88.42.035 of the Municipal Code to
clarify the substantive objectives of the Municipal Code regarding the City’s regulation of
marijuana within its City limits.
