The purpose of this chapter is to establish land use restrictions for cannabis-related businesses licensed pursuant to Title 14. Cannabis-related land uses can be successfully integrated into specified areas of the community, provided they adhere to the restrictions set forth in this chapter. Nothing in this chapter is intended to authorize any activity that is contrary to State law.

Unless otherwise provided herein, the terms used in this chapter have the same meanings as set forth in Title 14.

Not more than 12 Conditional Use Permits for cannabis-related businesses may be issued and active at any given time.

The distance between parcels will be the horizontal distance measured in a straight line from any property line of the sensitive use to the closest property line of the parcel on which the cannabis-related business is to be located, without regard to any intervening structures.

In addition to any other conditions of approval deemed necessary and appropriate by the approving authority, an operations plan, including a detailed cash management plan is required as a condition of approval for any cannabis-related use. In addition to any other practices demonstrated in the Operations Plan, the cash management plan must include a kiosk based system at the facility to eliminate the cash transfers between employees and customers. Any cash management plan must provide detailed records of all transactions to the city and comply with all regulations promulgated by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control, when they become effective. If the operations and/or cash management plan include confidential and/or proprietary information the City will respect the confidentiality of the information submitted by the applicant. The required content of the operations plan is set forth in Chapters 14.12 and 14.16.
