AN INITIATIVE MEASURE PERMITTING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF CANNABIS
BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY INCLUDING STOREFRONT RETAIL, DISTRIBUTION, TESTING,
CULTIVATION, DELIVERY, MANUFACTURING SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LAWS, REGULATIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS
This Ordinance amends and, to the extent a conflict exists,supersedes the Huntington Beach Municipal

cannabis adult use and medical businesses in the City subject to the issuance of merit-based permits.
Cannabis businesses are required to pay the City a one-time fee of$2,500.00(unless manufacturing
cannabis products using volatile solvents) and a 3%sales tax on gross sales.
The Ordinance requires the City to permit up to ten storefront retail cannabis businesses("Retail
Cannabis Business') in any area of the City zoned Commercial Visitor,General, Office and Specific Plans
5, 13 and 14. The number of Retail Cannabis Businesses will proportionally increase if the population of
the City Increases, according to a ratio of one Retail Cannabis Business per increase in 19,000 residents.
Citywide retail delivery of cannabis by Retail Cannabis Businesses will also be allowed without
restriction.
Ten additional cannabis businesses that provide for manufacturing, cultivation, testing, and distribution
of cannabis ("Non-Retail Cannabis") must be allowed in any area of the City that is zoned Industrial
General or Limited.
Retail and Non-Retail Cannabis Businesses cannot be located within 600 feet of schools, daycares or
youth centers. There are no distance restrictions from any other uses.
Retail and Non-Retail Cannabis Businesses must operate in a manner consistent with State law; obtain a
business license or permit;comply with sign codes; and install, maintain and operate video surveillance,
fire and burglary, and ventilation systems. Retail Cannabis Businesses must also follow State laws
(including limiting access to the Retail Cannabis Business), maintain separate storage facilities for
cannabis and cash, prohibit consultation by medical professionals,and prohibit smoking on the
premises.
Retail and Non-Retail Cannabis Businesses must obtain a cannabis business permit. The permit
application process begins by submitting an application to the City Clerk containing, in part, the
applicant's corporate status, business addresses, permission of property owner and property ownership
status, detailed property, site and floor plans, ventilation plans, business plan, Live Scan fingerprint and
driver's license of the applicant, and proof that the applicant has participated in a charitable event in the
City of Huntington Beach within the last 365 days.
The City Manager will be required to review the application under certain prescribed time limits and to
score the application using a points system based on the store location, security,ventilation, local
community enterprise, company location,corporate stability, State law compliance and business plan.
Decisions of the City Manager may be appealed to a hearing officer.

otherwise meets the requirements of the Ordinance.

Robin,
I
Thank you so much for speaking with me regarding this matter.
As discussed on the phone, we unfortunately discovered a typo in the most recent filed version of the
Huntington Beach Cannabis Taxation and Regulation initiative.
i
In two paragraphs, the "City of Temecula" is incorrectly referenced instead of the "City of Huntington
Beach". "I'his was an oversight and typo from a prior draft. Unfortunately, it appears our team printed from a
draft link versus a final link.
I
• Section 12 (E)(4)(a) and (b), page 13
• Section 25 (A), page 19
A revised draft with the typo corrected in these two sections is attached. This is the only change.
I
Pursuant to the California Elections Code, an amendment may be made to an existing proposed initiative,
without needing to extend the review period time. Please see below referenced Elections Code.
I
2
I am requesting that the City please extend us the courtesy of allowing us to amend this typo. I know that we
already submitted this twice already, so the City has had ample time to review the substantive portions of the
initiative, which remain the same.
I
I
I would be very grateful if your office Would allow us to amend the typos in the above referenced sections
only, which would be in congruence with the California Elections Code.
Please let me know if you need any further information from me, I am happy to come down today with a
physical copy as well.!
thank you!

HUNTINGTON BEACH
2021 NOY -3 PM 3: 57
THE HUNTINGTON BEACH CANNABIS TAXATION AND REGULATION ACT—An Uncodified Initiative
Ordinance for the City of Huntington Beach CITY CLERK
CITY OF
The People of the City of Huntington Beach do ordain as follows:
4U4TINGTON BE rs
SECTION 1: TITLE
This initiative shall be known as and may be cited as the Huntington Beach Cannabis Taxation and
Regulation Act of 2022.
SECTION2: FINDINGSAND DECLARATIONS
We the people of the City of Huntington Beach do find and declare the following:
A. In November 1996,voters approved Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act("CUA"),
which decriminalized the use of medicinal cannabis in California (codified in California Health
and Safety Code Section 11362.5 et seq.).
B. I n 2015, California enacted three bills—Assembly Bill 243 (Wood);Assembly Bill 266 (Bonta);
and Senate Bill 643 (McGuire)-that collectively established a comprehensive state regulatory
framework forthe licensing and enforcement of cultivation,manufacturing,retail sale,
transportation,storage,delivery,and testing of medicinal cannabis in California.The regulatory
scheme was known as the Medicinal Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act(MCRSA).
C. In 2016 the voters of the State of California, including the voters in the City of Huntington
Beach,passed Proposition 64, the"Control,Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act
("AUMA").UnderAU MA,adults21 years of age or older may legally grow,possess,and use
cannabis for nonmedicinal purposes,with certain restrictions.In addition, beginning on January
1, 2018, AUMA made it legal to sell and distribute cannabis through a regulated business.
D. In 2017, the State of California passed the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and
Safety Act("MAUCRSA")which establishes a robust set of regulations for the medicinal and
adult nonmedicinal use cannabis markets,aligns all permit types,authorizes certain state
agencies to establish rules governing cannabis operations and to implement the law;and
preserves local control over cannabis-related uses by requiring all cannabis businesses to obtain
both a state license and a local license or permit.
E. Without regulation,the cultivation and manufacturing of cannabis,and its subsequent
transportation,distribution,and retail sales has potential adverse effects to the health and
safety of the community. By creating a fair and reasonable regulatory environment for cannabis
businesses,the City will be able to maintain order while avoiding undue burdens on its financial
resources.
F. Bringing cannabis into a regulated and legitimate market will create a transparent and
accountable system.City revenuesfrom a legal and regulated market can cover not only the
cost of administering the new law but can also be used to invest in many programs, including
but not limited to; public health programs that educate youth to prevent and treat serious
substance abuse,train local law enforcement toe nforce the new law, invest in the community
to reduce the illicit market and create job opportunities.
SECTION3: PURPOSEAND INTENT
It is the intent and purpose of this code to allow medical and adult use cannabis businesses in portions
of the city where such uses would be compatible with surrounding commercial and industrial uses and
not materially detrimental to adjacent properties. It is the further intent of this code to regulate the
location, cultivation, production,manufacturing,testing,transportation,distribution,dispensing,
acquisition and use of cannabis in a manner that is consistent with the State Compassionate Use Act
("CUA"),the State MedicinaIand Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act("MAUCRSA"),as well as
with laws and regulations that have been or may bee nacted by the State regarding the same,including
but not limited to cannabis for medicinal or recreational use.It is the further intent of this code to
regulate cannabis businesses which,unless closely regulated, may have the potential of causing adverse
secondary effects upon the community.This code is intended to minimize this potential impact. To do
so,the following regulations:
A. Provide fora means of cultivation, production, manufacturing,testing,transportation,
distribution,retail sales,acquisition and use of cannabis by persons who qualifyto obtain,
possess,and use cannabis for purposes consistent with State law.
B. Protect public health and safety through reasonable limitations on cannabis businesses as
they relate to noise,air and water quality, food safety,community safety,security, nuisance
conditions and other health and safety concerns.
C. Im pose fees and taxes to cover the cost to the City of regulating cannabis businesses in an
amountsufficientforthe City to recoverits related costs,and to help mitigate against possible
adverse second aryeffects.
0. Adopt a mechanism to monitor compliance with the provisions of this City Code and State
law.
