I SUBJECT
Ordinance Adding Chapter 8.62 to the Anderson Municipal Code Prohibiting the Sale and Distribution of Kratom products.

I RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 875 adding the addition to Chapter 8.62 -Prohibiting the Sale and Distribution of Kratom products to the Anderson Municipal Code (second reading) as introduced (first reading) on April 7, 2026.

I FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

ITEM 6.9a PAGE1 4/21/2026
24 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Kratom is a substance derived from the leaves of the plant Mitragyna speciosa, which is native to Southeast Asia. In recent years, kratom products have become increasingly available in the United States and are often marketed as dietary supplements or herbal products. These products are commonly sold in powder, capsule, pill, or beverage form and are intended for human consumption.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has identified kratom as a drug of concern due to its psychoactive properties. According to the DEA, kratom can produce stimulant effects at low doses and sedative effects at higher doses. Reported adverse effects include psychotic symptoms, psychological and physiological dependence, addiction, hallucinations, delusion, confusion, nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite, weight loss, and insomnia.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also raised significant health concerns regarding kratom use. The FDA estimates that approximately 1. 7 million Americans used kratom in 2021, often to self-treat medical conditions without medical supervision. The FDA has warned that kratom is not appropriate for use as a dietary supplement and has linked kratom consumption to serious health risks, including seizures, liver toxicity, substance use disorder, and physical dependence.

Currently, the FDA has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom, including its primary chemical compounds, mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine.

In October 2025, the California Department of Public Health issued guidance that businesses are not allowed to sell or manufacture products containing Kratom. However, there is no statute in state law that clearly outright bans Kratom products. Recently, several municipalities in California have imposed their own ban via municipal codes and other states have done the same.

Unlike many regulated substances, kratom products are not federally regulated in the United States, meaning they are not subject to government-mandated safety testing, manufacturing standards, ingredient verification, purity requirements, or dosage regulations. As a result, consumers may be exposed to products of unknown potency, contamination, or inconsistent composition.

In light of these concerns and in the interest of protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of residents, the proposed ordinance would prohibit the sale and distribution of kratom products within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Anderson.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON ADDING CHAPTER

8.62 TO THE ANDERSON MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION

OFKRATOM
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON does hereby find, determine, and declare as follows:

WHEREAS, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") has stated that consumption of kratom produces both stimulant effects (in low doses) and sedative effects (in high doses) and can lead to psychotic symotoms, psychological and physiological dependence, addiction, hallucinations, delusion, confusion, nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, and insomnia, and has labeled kratom a drug of concern; and
WHEREAS, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has stated that an estimated 1.7 million Americans used kratom in 2021, often to self-treat conditions without medical supervision, despite FDA warnings that kratom is not appropriate for use as a dietary supplement, and has been found to be associated with serious health risks including, but not limited to, seizures, liver toxicity, physical dependence, substance abuse disorder, and neonatal abstinence syndrome in which newborns exposed to kratom prior to birth experienced withdrawal signs such as jitteriness, irritability, and muscle stiffness, and even death; and WHEREAS, the FDA has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom or its two main chemical components, mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine; and
WHEREAS, kratom products are not federally regulated in the United States and are not subject to government-mandated safety checks, resulting in a lack of oversight and accepted safety standards for use, regulation of ingredients, purity levels, and dosage; and WHEREAS, in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the people of the City of Anderson, the City Council desires to prohibit the sale and distribution of any product containing kratom within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Anderson does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Chapter 8.62 titled "PROHIBITION OF THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM" is hereby added to the Anderson Municipal Code as follows:

Chapter 8.62 - PROHIBITION OF THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM

8.62.010 Definitions.

For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and phrases shall have the meaning set forth in this section:
26 "Distribute" means to furnish, give away, exchange, transfer, deliver or supply, whether or not for monetary gain.
"Kratom product" means the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa or any food product, food ingredient, dietary ingredient, dietary supplement, or beverage intended for human consumption that contains any part of the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa or any extract, synthetic alkaloid, or synthetically derived compound of such plant or its leaf including, but not limited to, any powder, capsule, pill, beverage, or other edible product intended for human consumption.
"Leaf' means any or all parts of the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa that contains mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine; including natural or synthetically derived versions. "Sell" or "sale" means to furnish, exchange, transfer, deliver, or supply for monetary gain.

8.62.020 Sale and distribution of kratom prohibited.

It is unlawful to sell, advertise for sale, offer for sale, or distribute, directly or indirectly, any kratom product in the City.

SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. ENACTMENT. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause it to be posted and/or published in accordance with the law. The ordinance will go into effect 30-days after enactment.

The foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Anderson held on April 7, 2026 and enacted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Anderson held on April 21, 2026, by the following vote.

Ordinance adding Chapter 8.61 to the Anderson Municipal Code prohibiting the sale, distribution, and recreational use of nitrous oxide within the City of Anderson, with specified exceptions. !RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 876 adding the addition to Chapter 8.61 -Prohibition of Sale, Distribution, and Use of Nitrous Oxide to the Anderson Municipal Code (second reading) as introduced (first reading) on April 7, 2026.

I FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

ITEM 6.9b PAGE1 4/21/2026
28 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Nitrous oxide is an odorless and colorless gas commonly used in medical and dental settings as an anesthetic. It is also legitimately used in certain industrial and commercial applications, including as a propellant in food products. However, nitrous oxide is also commonly sold in small metal canisters, often referred to as "whippets," which are easily accessible through smoke shops, convenience stores, and online retailers.

Individuals inhale the gas from cartridges or cylinders to produce short-term euphoric effects. This practice has become more prevalent in many communities due to the relative affordability and accessibility of nitrous oxide products.

The misuse of nitrous oxide can cause serious health risks. Medical research has demonstrated that repeated inhalation can lead to significant vitamin deficiencies, neurological damage, nerve damage, paralysis, and in some cases death.

This proposed ordinance is aimed at prohibiting the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide to end users and not apply to legitimate and lawful uses of nitrous oxide. Specifically, it exempts nitrous oxide when it is contained in food products and used solely as a propellant, as well as when it is sold or distributed in a wholesale capacity. It also does not apply to nitrous oxide used for enhancing vehicle performance. Additionally, the chapter excludes medical and dental uses conducted under the supervision of a state-licensed practitioner and in compliance with applicable regulations. Finally, it does not apply to individuals using nitrous oxide pursuant to a valid prescription issued by a licensed medical provider, so long as the use is consistent with that prescription.

Within the City of Anderson, the Police Department has observed these nitrous oxide cartridges and related devices being recovered during contacts with individuals involved in criminal activity.

The proliferation of these devices in public areas, parks, and roadways has also become a growing concern.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON ADDING CHAPTER

8.61 TO THE ANDERSON MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING THE SALE, DISTRIBUTION

AND USE OF NITROUS OXIDE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON does hereby find, determine, and declare as follows:

WHEREAS, pursuant to its police powers, the City of Anderson has the authority to regulate matters effecting the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens; and WHEREAS, nitrous oxide is an odorless, colorless chemical that can be inhaled for legitimate purposes associated with medical or dental procedures in a clinical setting and is legitimately used for industrial purposes as a propellant for food products; and WHEREAS, nitrous oxide is also subject to recreational misuse and abuse, in part, because it is easy to purchase from retail vendors and relatively inexpensive; and WHEREAS, the recreational misuse and abuse of nitrous oxide can cause permanent vitamin deficiencies in the blood, and can cause long-term neurological effects, including paralysis and death; and
WHEREAS, the incidence of nitrous oxide recreational misuse and abuse has been on the rise in Shasta County and has been associated within criminal incidents in the past few months; and
WHEREAS, in the interest of health, safety and welfare of the City of Anderson residents and visitors, the City Council desires to prohibit the misuse and abuse of nitrous oxide by restricting the sale, distribution, and use of nitrous oxide within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Anderson does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Chapter 8.61 titled "PROHIBITION OF SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND USE OF NITROUS OXIDE" is hereby added to the Anderson Municipal Code as follows:

CHAPTER 8.61 PROHIBITION OF SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND USE OF NITROUS OXIDE

8.61.010 Definitions.

For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and phrases have the meaning set forth in this section:
"Device" means any cartridge, compressed gas cylinder, apparatus, container, or other object used to contain or dispense or administer nitrous oxide. 30 "Distribute" means to furnish, give away, exchange, transfer, deliver or supply, whether or not for monetary gain.
"Nitrous oxide" means the colorless nonflammable gas sometimes identified as NzO, which is sometimes used in aerosols and sometimes used as an anesthetic, and which, when inhaled, produces loss of sensibility to pain, often preceded by exhilaration and laughter. "Sell" or "sale" means to furnish, exchange, transfer, deliver, or supply for monetary gain. "Wholesale capacity" means the sale of or distribution of nitrous oxide or devices in large/bulk quantities to retailers, resellers, or professionals, and not to an individual consumer or end user.

8.61.020 Use of Nitrous Oxide Prohibited.

It shall be unlawful to use or attempt to use nitrous oxide within the City, unless the use of the nitrous oxide is authorized by the exceptions set forth in Section 8.61.040.

8.61.030 Sale and Distribution of Nitrous Oxide Prohibited.

It shall be unlawful for any person in the City to sell, advertise for sale, offer for sale, attempt to sell, distribute, or otherwise provide to any person, directly or indirectly, nitrous oxide, any device to dispense or administer nitrous oxide, or any device that contains any quantity of nitrous oxide, unless authorized by the exceptions set forth in Section 8.61.040.

8.61.040 Exceptions to Prohibition.

This chapter shall not apply in the following circumstances:

31 F. When nitrous oxide or any associated device is sold, advertised, offered for sale, attempted to be sold, distributed, or otherwise provided by: a State licensed pharmacist, pharmacist intern, or pharmacy as defined by California Business and Professions Code Sections 4030. ~ and 4037; or a wholesaler licensed by the California State Board of Pharmacy.

G. Any other circumstances exempted under law.

SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
From: Collin Bogener, City Attorney
Date: April 21, 2026

I SUBJECT
Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapters 12.08, 12.16, 12.20, 12.28, 12.35, 13.12, 13.28,

13.32, 15.22, 16.32, and 17.46 of the Anderson Municipal Code to remove and/or revise sections identifying specific fees imposed by the city.

I RECOMMENDATION

1. Receive a staff report;

2. Receive Public Comment;

3. Introduce an Ordinance (First Reading) amending Chapters 12.08, 12.16, 12.20,

12.28, 12.35, 13.12, 13.28, 13.32, 15.22, 16.32, and 17.46 of the Anderson Municipal Code to remove and/or revise sections identifying specific fees imposed by the city, and set for adoption on May 5, 2026 (Second Reading).

4. Waive full reading and direct the City Clerk to read the ordinance by title only.

I FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact. The fees will either be removed in their entirety because they are no longer applicable or removed to be placed in the master fee schedule.

ITEM 8.2 PAGE1 4/21/2026
33 I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
At the April 7, 2026 City Council regular meeting, the City Council approved a resolution updating fees to ensure the city is able to recover the cost of providing services. That approval followed a fee study from Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC which evaluated the full cost of providing services, identify cost recovery levels, and recommend updated fees consistent with California law and the "costs reasonably borne" standard.

In connection with that fee update, city staff also reviewed the Anderson Municipal Code to determine if there were fees memorialized which could be removed from the code and placed in the city's master fee schedule. This would enable city employees and members of the community to determine fees from a single location, rather than have some fees included in the master fee schedule and some fees included in the municipal code. Additionally, this would also allow the City Council to periodically review the fees through a single document which they may amend in their discretion.

As part of this review, city staff also located numerous fee provisions which are no longer applicable and should no longer be included in the code. As part of this ordinance amendment, those sections will be removed.

SECTION 10. Section 15.22.090 ("Variance procedure") of Chapter 13.28 ("FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION") of Title 15 ("BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION") is hereby amended as follows:

15.22.090 - Variance procedure
A. Nature of Variances.

1. The variance criteria set forth in this section of the chapter are based on the general principle of zoning law that variances pertain to a piece of property and are not personal in nature. A variance may be granted for a parcel of property with physical characteristics so unusual that complying with the requirements of this chapter would create an exceptional hardship to the applicant or the surrounding property owners. The characteristics must be unique to the property and not be shared by adjacent parcels. The unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself, not to the structure, its inhabitants or the property owners.

2. It is the duty of the city council to help protect its citizens from flooding. This need is so compelling and the implications of the cost of insuring a structure built below flood level are so serious that variances from the flood elevation or from other requirements in the flood ordinance are quite rare. The long term goal of preventing and reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the variance guidelines provided in this chapter are more detailed and contain multiple provisions that must be met before a variance can be properly granted. The criteria are designed to screen out those situations in which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate.

8. Appeal Board.
38 1. In passing upon requests for variances, the city council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and the:
a. Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; b. Danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; c. Susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the existing individual owner and future owners of the property; d. Importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; e. Necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; f. Availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
g. Compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; h. Relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area;
i. Safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; j. Expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site; and
k. Costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water system, and streets and bridges.

2. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that:
.a. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as set forth in the city's master fee schedule.
b. Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. A copy of the notice shall be recorded by the floodplain administrator in the office of the Shasta County recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land.

3. The floodplain administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such variances issued in its biennial report 39 submitted to the Federal Insurance Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency.

C. Conditions for Variances.

1. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing that the procedures of Sections 15.22.070 and 15.22.080 of this chapter have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.

2. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures (as defined in Section 15.22.050 of this chapter) upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.

3. Variances shall not be issued within any mapped regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.

4. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary considering the flood hazard, to afford relief: Minimum necessary means to afford relief with a minimum of deviation from the requirements of this chapter. For example, in the case of variances to an elevation requirement, this means the city council need not grant permission for the applicant to build at grade, or even to whatever elevation the applicant proposes, but only to that elevation which the city council believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the local chapter.

5. Variances shall only be issued upon a:
a. Showing of good and sufficient cause;
b. Determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship (as defined in Section 15.22.050 of this chapter) to the applicant; and c. Determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public expense, create a nuisance (as defined in Section 15.22.050 (see "Public safety or nuisance")), cause fraud or victimization ( as defined in Section 15.22,050) of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.

6. Variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement and other proposed new development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of Sections 15.22.090(C)(1) through (5) are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages 40 during the base flood and does not result in additional threats to public safety and does not create a public nuisance.

7. Upon consideration of the factors of Section 15.22.090(8)(1) and the purposes of this chapter, the city council may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter.

SECTION 11. Section 16.32.120 ("Fees") of Chapter 16.62 ("CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS") of Title 16 ("SUBDIVISIONS") is hereby amended as follows:

16.32.120 - Fees
Fees for processing applications shall be paid at the time of submittal for condominium conversion and shall be in the amount set in the city's master fee schedule.

SECTION 12. Section 17.46.050 ("Exceptions to parking requirements") of Chapter 17.46 ("OFF STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS") of Title 15 ("ZONING") is hereby amended as follows:

A. Any portion of Sections 17.46.020 to 17,46.040 may be modified for a particular use if a use permit is obtained. The planning commission must find, based on data submitted by the applicant, that the proposed arrangement and design will be of equal or greater excellence in arrangement, design, or attractiveness than would be realized by the normal standards of this chapter.

B. The following designated areas are to be considered as exceptions to the parking requirements set forth in Section 12.i.6.0411.

1. Within the downtown business district zone, off-street parking shall be provided at not less than one space per five hundred square feet of gross building floor area. Within the discretion of the design review committee, the off-street parking requirement may be satisfied by any one of, or combination of, the following:
a. On-site construction;
b. Off-site construction within three hundred feet and approved by the planning commission;
c. Payment into the parking district fund.

2. Exceptions to this provision are as follows:
a. Banks, food stores, dental and medical services shall provide off-street parking at the rate set forth in Section 17.46.040;
b. The area between East Center and Freeman Streets (subdivision 3 of the subsection); 41 c. Payment into the parking district fund as an alternative to construction shall be for a maximum number of spaces established by the design review committee. The design review committee shall consider the city general plan, recommendations of the planning, public works and building departments in determining the number of parking spaces that shall be provided by on-site or off-site construction;

3. East Center-Freeman Street Area. No off-street parking between East Center and Freeman Streets shall be required except as follows:
a. For all new construction and all renovation and expansion, the value of which exceeds fifty percent of the full market value of the existing improvements, off-street parking shall be in accordance with subdivision 1 of this section. (Existing improvement value shall be the value recorded on the most recent tax rolls of the county assessor. Renovation and expansion values shall be established by the city building official.) b. All off-street parking shall be on-site or off-site within three hundred feet with approval of the planning commission.

4. West Center Street - Douglas Street Area. The parking for this area shall be the same as that provided for in subdivisions 1 and 3 of this subsection.

C. Parking District Fund. There is established a parking district fund, which shall be a special fund of the city. All deposits made to the fund shall be used solely for the purchase of land for public parking and for construction of public parking.

SECTION 13. CEQA. The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060( c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

SECTION 14. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 15. ENACTMENT. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause it to be posted and/or published in accordance with the law. The ordinance will go into effect 30-days after enactment.

The foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Anderson held on April 21, 2026 and enacted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Anderson held on May 5, 2026, 2024 by the following vote. 42 AYES:
