home TRBA program .
Councilmember Peterson stated his support for this item , and added his support for some of the funds
going back to Central Park maintenance .
Director Luna -Reynosa stated that Council has the ability to place General Fund monies back to Central
Park , and staff didn't want to present an option that might restrict any of the money. She further noted
that because the land is zoned as park land , this is the only way to monetize the property.
Mayor Delgleize stated her support for keeping Ocean View Estates as a mobile home park as long as
possible .
Councilmember Bolton confirmed with Housing Manager Kovac that three percent (3%) inflation number
was used for the calculations.
Council member Moser and Deputy Director Holtz discussed options for the proposed 10-year check-in ,
as well as the process for owners who may be interested in having first right of refusal if property
ownership would be an available option in the future .
Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated his support for th is item, and agreed with Director Luna-Reynosa that this
is a way to monetize the property, and protect a taxpayer asset. He further noted that spending nearly
ten percent (10%) of the net revenue each year on capital improvements, or increased value, should be
considered in the future when evaluating lease rates.

Directed staff to draft a Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) to delete the cannabis
prohibition and to permit cannabis activities consistent with the Council's Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendations
Senior Planner Hayden Beckman presented a PowerPoint communication titled Cannabis Activities with
s lid es entitled : Background; Community Outreach; Land Use Policy Recommendations (2); Buffer
Restrictions Map; Next Steps; Staff Recommendation; and Questions ? Senior Planner Beckman also
noted the current results for Measure 0 are at 54 .1 % for approval.
Councilmember Kalmick explained this is the land use portion of the process and noted that if
Councilmembers do not move this forward the industry will step in with a ballot initiative with their own
rules. He further shared his opinion that restricting the number of suitable sites by going to the 1,000-
foot buffer may result in lack of enough locations. Councilmember Kalmick stated his support for staff
recommendat ion .
Councilmember Peterson stated he will not support this item, for one because he supports the 1,000-feet
buffer from property line to property line . He added he feels this issue is being unnecessarily rushed
through and with more indu stry input a better plan cou ld be put in place .
Mayor Delgleize, Councilmembers Peterson and Bolton discussed the pros and cons for 600-foot vs.
1,000-foot buffers and what other cities use .
Councilmember Bolton stated that from her perspective the issue is having local contro l which can only
happen if Council moves forward .
Mayor Delgleize stated her support for being a step ahead and ensuring proper regulations are in place .
Councilmember Moser stated her support for retaining as much contro l as possible by writing the
ordinance and manag in g the details . She also stated her expectation that the Planning Commission
would acknowledge the letter received from the Ocean View School District regarding support for the

1,000-foot buffer and consider how that may or may not impact the Ocean View schools in adjacent
cities.
Council member Kalmick stated that with all of the criteria that must be met for retail locations , many of
the sites that appear on a map will in actuality not qualify , and it would be a very time consuming and
difficult exercise to try to pre-determine which sites would qualify. He noted that the map showing the
600-foot buffer appears to fairly evenly distribute potential sites throughout Huntington Beach. He further
discussed the big differences between clients for legal vs . illegal cannabis businesses, and noted the
goal is to drive out the illicit market by providing easy legal access.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated that THC is still a Schedule 1 hallucinogenic, there is still a federal banking
issue for the industry , and he is not convinced that the revenue generated will exceed the social cost as
his reasons for not supporting th is item . He also stated his opinion that adding taxes and fees to
legitimate businesses might create prices that would not necessarily drive out the illicit business .
Councilmember Moser stated her support for moving ahead , knowing there w ill be opportunities to fine-
tune decisions along the way. Councilmember Mosher stated her support for making medical product
legally available for those who may benefit.
Mayor Delgleize stated her support for this item to maintain local control, and ensure safe medicinal
products .
A motion was made by Kalmick, second Bolton to request the City Manager (or designee) to draft a
Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) to the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to
delete the existing cannabis prohibition and add necessary language to allow cannabis activities
consistent with the Council's Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations .
