SPEAKER RULES
Welcome to a meeting of the Antioch City Council. Your attendance is appreciated. The State Ralph M. Brown Act guarantees the public's right to address the City Council, within the framework of Speaker Rules. Because agendas encompass many business items, Speaker Rules enable the meeting to be efficiently conducted and concluded at a reasonable hour.

The City Council can only take action on items that are listed on the agenda. If you wish to speak about an item not on the agenda, the "Public Comments" section of the agenda is for you. Unagendized comments are provided until no later than 7:30 p.m. when the City Council moves on to agenda items. There is another opportunity for public comments at the end of the meeting.

If you wish to speak, either during "public comments" or during an agenda item, fill out a Speaker Request Form and place in the Speaker Card Tray near the City Clerk. This will enable us to call upon you to speak. Important: Please identify if the comment is for Announcement of Community Events, Public Comment, or a specific Agenda Item Number on your Speaker Request Form. No one may speak more than once on an agenda item or during "public comments." (Please see next page for additional information on public participation.)

Each speaker is limited to not more than three minutes under Public Comments and three minutes on non-public hearing agenda items. During public hearings, each side is entitled to one "main presenter" who may have not more than 10 minutes; all other speakers during public hearing items, are entitled to a maximum of 5 minutes. These time limits may be modified depending on the number of speakers, number of items on the agenda, or circumstances. Groups who are here regarding an item may identify themselves by raising their hands at the appropriate time to show support for one of their speakers.

During certain types of hearings, the applicant is allowed to give his or her presentation first.

After all testimony is received, the applicant has an opportunity for rebuttal.

The "Consent Calendar" is a group of items which are determined to be routine. These items are usually considered all at once and approved without further discussion. If you are opposed to action which is recommended for an item on the "Consent Calendar," please submit a Speaker Request Form before the meeting, and place in the Speaker Card Tray near the City Clerk. This will enable the item to be removed from the call
on you to speak.

After having heard from the public, the agenda item will be closed. Deliberations will then be limited to members of the City Council.

If the meeting appears to be going late, the City Council may decide to continue some items until a subsequent meeting. The City Council will try to make this determination around 10:00 p.m. It is the goal to stop discussing agenda items by not later than 11:00 p.m.

The City Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 p.m., with Closed Sessions often occurring before or after the regular meeting. The City Council also holds adjourned meetings and study sessions on other days.

Agenda Item #

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

DATE: Special Meeting of February 22, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS

SUBJECT: Redistricting: Receipt of Public Input and Selection of Final Map

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive public comment and select the f inal redistricting map redefining the boundaries of all City Council electoral districts of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

DISCUSSION
The City adopted its current district boundaries based on 2010 census data as required by law. The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020.

Under the Act, the City Council shall draw and adopt boundaries using the following criteria in the listed order of priority (Elections Code 21621(c)):

1. Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act

2. Be geographically contiguous

3. Undivided neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (socio- economic geographic areas that should be kept together)

4. Display easily identifiable boundaries

5. Be compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people)

6. Shall not favor or discriminate against a political party At its January 11, 2022 public hearing, the Council directed the inclusion of both Map “B” and Map “91”, which were presented at the January 25, 2022 and February 8, 2022 Public Hearings as Maps “B” and “91” respectively. On February 22 , 2022, the Council has scheduled a Special Meeting to consider and designate a Final Redistricting Map for presentation and final selection by adoption of Resolution at its March 8, 2022 Regular Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item #SM-1 2
City Council meeting.

The Final Redistricting Map will comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act, and the California Fair Maps Act, in the following manner:
(1) The districts are geographically contiguous. The districts are arrayed in a simple and logical form without any islands and minimal intrusions from the area of one district into another;
(2) To the extent practicable, the Final Redistricting Map respects the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods and local communities of interest. The Council heard testimony about what constitute communities of interest in the public eye. (3) The districts are easily identifiable and understandable by residents. The districts in the Final Redistricting Map form a relatively simple pattern. (4) To the extent practicable, the districts are geographically compact. Their configurations for the most part are compact, simple shapes, with nearby populations included in the same districts.
(5) The districts are balanced in terms of total population and voting age population.

The districts are well within the one- person/one-vote deviations permitted under federal and state voting rights laws.
(6) The districts conform to concentration of minority voters. The Final Redistricting Map creates one majority/minority Black voting district.

Before adopting a Final Redistricting Map of district boundaries, at least four hearings must be held for the public to provide input about the composition of City Council districts. These hearing requirements include at least: (1) one hearing before any maps are drawn, (2) two hearings after maps are drawn, and (3) one hearing or workshop to be held on a Saturday, Sunday, or after 6 p.m. on a weekday. The City Council redistricting public hearing dates include the following: Tuesday, October 12, 2021, Saturday, October 16, 2021, Tuesday, November 9, 2021, Tuesday, December 14, 2021, Tuesday, January 11, 2022, Tuesday, January 25, 2022 and Tuesday, February 8, 2022, and February 22, 2022.

User Comments: “Hopefully, this map will make everyone happy! It uses common sense boundary lines between districts. It uses Lone Tree Way as the boundary between Districts 2 and 3, and Districts 2 and 4. It uses the Delta DeAnza Trail/Contra Costa Canal between Lone Tree Way and Deer Valley Road as a boundary between Districts 3 and 4. It combines the Mira Vista Hills and all neighborhoods on both sides of James Donlon Blvd in District 2. It uses Deer Valley Road then Country Hills Drive between Deer Valley Road and Hillcrest Avenue, then Hillcrest Ave and Lone Tree Way as the boundary between Districts 3 and 4. The greatest population deviation between districts is 1.43% (between Districts 1 and 4). It's clear to each resident in which district they live, and it doesn't gerrymander to protect incumbents.”

User Comments: “It results in three council members representing the waterfront instead of just one. It also serves to more unify the city between older parts and newer parts instead of dividing it like the current districts do with just one district north of Highway 4. It also combines the Mira Vista Hills area south of James Donlon Blvd. with the older areas north of James Donlon Blvd. and the newer area west of Somersville Road which is more of a Community of Interest.” As drawn, this map currently does not have all census blocks assigned (see District 2).

The recommendation has not been implemented: The City of Antioch is in the preliminary stages of establishing a newly formed Community Resources and Public Safety Department.

Once the Community Resources and Public Safety Department is officially created, the City of Antioch will be in a better position to apply for grants, including AB-118, to fund its participation in the pilot program. Thus, the City of Antioch agrees with stated Board Supervisors recommended timeline.

R5. By June 30, 2022, the Board of Supervisors direct DHS to establish a joint team including representatives from community partners for administration of the pilot project.

Response
The recommendation has not been implemented: Collaboration between the City of Antioch and the County DHS, along with representatives from community partners, for administration of the pilot program is essential to both the overall implementation and success of the pilot program. Adhering to the specified timeline is equally important to establishing a joint team. The City of Antioch shall await the Board of Supervisors’ direction to DHS.

R6. By September 30, 2022, DHS and the City of Antioch begin a comprehensive program to inform and educate the community members about the project and the specific resource[s] that will be available at the outset of the pilot project.

Response
The recommendation has not been implemented: Once the Board of Supervisors provides direction to DHS to initiate a joint team with the City of Antioch, the City plans to begin a comprehensive program to inform and educate the community members about the pilot project by clearly identifying the city resources that will be available under the auspices of the newly formed Community Resource and Public Safety Department.

R7. By December 31, 2022, the Antioch Police Department and its 911 dispatchers augment their training to include the new MCRT alternative response options available
Contra Costa County 2020-2021 Civil Grand Jury Report 2106: 911 Mental Health Crisis Response: A New Way “To Protect and To Serve”
Response.

The recommendation has not been implemented: Communication between Antioch Police Department 911 dispatchers is an important component of the pilot program. Further analysis is required to examine and explore the best options for the Antioch Police Department to augment their training to include the new ACT and MCRT alternative response options available.

R8. By September 30, 2022, DHS apply for all available state, county, and private grants (e.g., AB-118), as well as money available through Measure X, as a source of funding.

Response
The recommendation has not been implemented: The City of Antioch encourages DHS to apply for all available state, county, and private grants (e.g., AB-118), as well as money available through Measure X, as a source of additional funding for the pilot project.

R9. By December 31, 2022, DHS implement ongoing monitoring of the proposed CAHOOTS Act (S.4441) as an additional source of funding.

Response
The recommendation has not been implemented: The City of Antioch, in its quest to establish the ACT will implement ongoing monitoring of the proposed CAHOOTS Act (S.4441) as an additional source of funding.

R10. By September 30, 2022, if Antioch is not willing to be a pilot program city, DHS identify and approach an alternate city and work with it on the recommendations related to Antioch.

Response
The recommendation has not been implemented: The City of Antioch is open to participating as a County DHS pilot program city, but Antioch intends to continue the development of its own community crisis intervention team because the funding and effectiveness of the DHS pilot program for the residents of Antioch is uncertain.

On behalf of the City of Antioch, we are committed in working in partnership with Contra Costa Board of Supervisors in acknowledging of both the Civil Grand Jury findings and recommendations. We trust the Grand Jury will find these responses extremely helpful to its future endeavors.

Sincerely yours,
Lamar A. Thorpe

group residential, single-family dwelling). This classification includes domestic violence shelters. Transitional housing does not include community re-entry centers or half-way housing for federal or state inmates nearing release. It also excludes any facility licensed as a community care facility by the California State Department of Social Services (SDSS) or defined as such in this chapter.

Transitional Housing is a broad term covering a number of programs and purposes. The definition and regulation of Transitional Housing can be summarized as follows:

There must be a limited length of stay and it must be operated under a program requiring recirculation to another program location at some future point in time.

There can be no long-term residents and six months is the State standard.

Transitional Housing may be designated for homeless or recently homeless individuals or families transitioning to permanent housing as defined in Cal. Health and Safety Code § 50675.2(h).
o § 50675.2(h) “Transitional housing” and “transitional housing development” means buildings configured as rental housing developments but operated under program requirements that call for the termination of assistance and recirculation of the assisted unit to another eligible program recipient at some predetermined future point in time, which shall be no less than six months.

Facilities may be linked to onsite or offsite supportive services designed to help residents gain skills needed to live independently indoors in stable housing.

Transitional Housing may be provided in a variety of residential housing types (e.g. multiple-unit dwelling, single-room occupancy, group residential, single-family dwelling).

This classification includes domestic violence shelters.

Transitional housing does not include:
o community reentry center or half-way housing for Federal or State inmates nearing release,
o any facility licensed as a community care facility by the California State Department of Social Services (SDSS) or defined as such in this chapter.

The definition of Transitional Housing specifically excludes facilities licensed by the California State Department of Social Services (SDSS). These include in-house residential-style group housing types. Presently, the State of California requires cities to allow certain low-impact housing and childcare uses by-right within existing residential neighborhoods, subject to maximum occupancies that vary by program. Though these Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item # 3
small programs may offer transitional housing-type services, they are not addressed by the proposed definition or regulations.

Presently, Transitional Housing is defined but is not regulated or permitted by the Antioch Municipal Code. In order to accommodate Transitional Housing, amendments to the Zoning Code are required.

Proposal
Staff recommends the creation of a new Transitional Housing (TH) Zoning Overlay District that would allow Transitional Housing with a Use Permit to be approved by the Planning Commission. This would provide distinct areas in the City of Antioch where one could apply for a Use Permit to establish a Transitional Housing land use. To achieve this, the following amendments to the Antioch Municipal Code (AMC) are required:

1. The Transitional Housing (TH) Overlay District must be established.

2. The Table of Land Use Regulations must be modified to include the new district and to identify where Transitional Housing is allowed.

3. A site or sites must be identified to receive the Transitional Housing (TH) Overlay District zoning and be eligible to develop transitional housing.

Specifically, staff recommends that the zoning of the property at 515 E. 18th Street (Executive Inn) be modified to include the TH Overlay District. This would enable the property owner to pursue a Use Permit for a Transitional Housing project at this site. The General Plan Land Use Designation of this site is Neighborhood Community Commercial, and the zoning is Convenience Commercial District (C-1). The C-1 Zoning allows similar uses, such as Residential Care Facility, Residential Hotel, and Room & Boarding House.

A variety of commercial uses are also permitted.

An Ordinance is provided that amends the Zoning Ordinance as described above to achieve the stated purposes and goals.

Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item # 4 2

2. Use Permit: The Applicant is requesting Use Permit approval of the proposed cannabis operations facility. The City Council must approve the resolution for the Use Permit.

3. Design Review: The Applicant is requesting Design Review Approval of the two proposed buildings, an 11,200 square foot building (Building A) and a 19,500 square foot building (Building B), landscaping, and a parking lot.

Environmental
In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) were prepared for the proposed project and determined that all significant environmental impacts could be mitigated to a less-than-significant level with incorporation of mitigation. A copy of the public review draft of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Final IS/MND, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and appendices can be found at the following link:

SITE
Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item # 4 3
-in-Place orders, publicly accessible
.

The IS/MND identified potentially significant impacts to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and noise. The IS/MND concluded that all impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level with the implementation of mitigation measures. A MMRP was prepared and is included in Attachment A, Exhibit A The draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review from May 7, 2021 to May 26, 2021.There were no comments received on the IS/MND during the public review period. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15073, and 15074, the lead agency must consider the comments received during the public review period.

When the IS/MND was prepared for the proposed project, it was assumed that there were sewer services near the project site to which the project could connect. After the IS/MND was published, staff learned that the original assumption that there were sewer services in the area was inaccurate. The applicant had designed a septic system for the proposed project in the absence of sewer services near the site. After the June 16, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, Public Works/ Engineering staff worked with the applicant to reach an agreement on the installation of the sewer services. A septic system will not be used in lieu of the sewer service. Staff does not believe that the installation of the services would have changed the analysis in the IS/MND and result in any additional significant impacts that would need to be mitigated. Public Works staff has added recommended conditions of approval requiring the applicant to connect to sewer services.

Background
With the passage of Proposition 64 in November of 2016, California residents over the age of 21 can legally use marijuana without a medicinal card if not in a public place.

Californians can carry and use up to one ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants for personal use. Recreational sales of marijuana did not go into effect until January 1, 2018. The possession, sale and distribution of cannabis is now legal under California State law, subject to provisions contained in the law, including a state licensing requirement.

On May 2, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council approval of an Ordinance amending Title 9, Chapter 5 of the Antioch Municipal Code, thereby creating new provisions for the consideration of cannabis businesses in the City of Antioch. The City Council introduced the ordinance on May 22, 2018 and approved the ordinance on June 26, 2018. The ordinance went into effect on July 26, 2018. The Code Amendment established new definitions, imposed basic standards, and created a new Cannabis Business (CB) Zoning Overlay District. Within the CB Zoning Overlay District, a party may apply for a Use Permit from the City Council for the establishment of a Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item # 4 4
Cannabis Business. Unlike the typical use permit process, a cannabis use permit must be reviewed by the City Council after a recommendation by the Planning Commission.

On September 11, 2018, the Antioch City Council adopted Cannabis Guidelines by approval of Resolution No. 2018/117. The purpose of the guidelines is to provide the the design and operation of a Cannabis Business.

On October 27, 2020, the Antioch City Council adopted Amendments to the Cannabis Business Ordinance by approval of Ordinance No. 2191-C-S. The purpose of the amendments was to provide a definition of Commercial Cannabis Use, replace the requirement for a development agreement with a requirement for an operating agreement, and specify the minimum conditions of an operating agreement.

At the Planning Commission meeting on June 16, 2021, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend to the City Council that the IS/MND, MMRP, Use Permit, and Design Review be approved. The applicant gave a presentation about the project, and no members of the public commented on the item. A copy of the draft Planning Commission meeting minutes has been included as Attachment F to the staff report.

Conditions of Approval # 44-54 in Section K were added by the Public Works Director/City Engineer after the Planning Commission meeting, which address the construction of the sewer line and improvements to Wilbur Avenue. The applicant has received these conditions of approval and has agreed to them.

ANALYSIS
Project Overview
The applicant proposes to operate a cannabis operations facility consisting of a Type 10 'Retail Storefront and Delivery', a Type 11 'Distributor', a Type 7 'Manufacturer' and a located at 2100-2300 Wilbur Avenue. The

The site is currently accessed via a driveway along Wilbur Avenue that gives access to an access road to the site. The site would be developed with four (4) access gates, one (1) employee entrance, one (1) public entrance, and two (2) fire access gates. The applicant proposes the cannabis operation facility with two buildings, 79 employee and customer parking spaces, and two new buildings (Building A 11,200-square-foot and Building B 19,500-square-foot). A new wrought iron fence will be installed along the north, east, and western boundaries and maintain a chain-link fence along the southern boundary in order to secure the area.

Building A would consist of commercial use that would include rooms for cannabis sales, products, packaging, labeling, and storage. Building A, in total would include approximately 2,558 square feet of retail space that includes a 125 square foot security check point, a 2,776 square feet of distribution space, and 792 square feet of manufacturing space. The applicant proposes an open concept retail sales area.

Building B would include 10 cannabis cultivation rooms that are approximately 1,250 square feet, 2 incubation rooms that are 525 square feet, and a 905 square foot processing room. The primary activity in the operation of the cultivation operation would involve the cultivation of 'flowering cannabis plants within the cultivation area.

Site Security
As part of their application the applicant submitted a security plan for the site. The security plan addressed the following issues:

Physical elements of the site such as location of the building, outdoor lighting, and parking areas.

Electronic security such as motion sensors, controlled access areas, and surveillance cameras.

Compliance and procedures such as inventory management, cash handling, and employee training.

On site physical security services related to the number of physical security guards present at the site.

During the meeting, Police Department staff provided the applicant with feedback on their Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item # 4 7
security plan, as well as additional site-specific security measures that they would like to see implemented. The proposed security measures are consistent with the security expectations detailed in the Cannabis Guidelines.

Staff has included a condition in the attached resolution requiring the Antioch Police Department to conduct a site inspection to assess the security of the site prior to a certificate of occupancy being issued for the site. Any changes that the Antioch Police Department deem necessary upon site inspection will be incorporated into a revised site security plan that will then be submitted for their review and approval. No certificate of occupancy will be issued without final approval of a site security plan by the Antioch Police Department. In addition to the security inspection prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy, the business is required to submit to annual security audits conducted by a third party or City staff.

Neighborhood Responsibility Plan
As part of the application, the applicant submitted a neighborhood responsibility plan detailing their efforts to mitigate any potential impacts that the business may cause (Attachment D). The plan details the steps they will take to establish a relationship in the community and good neighbor policies that will be established.

Staff has also included a condition of approval prohibiting the smoking or ingestion of cannabis products on-site.

Use Permit
The City of Antioch Municipal Code requires a Use Permit for cannabis uses such as retail and cultivation uses; therefore, the applicant is requesting a Use Permit approval of Natural Supplements Cannabis facility. Use Permits are required for land uses that may be suitable only in specific locations or require special consideration in their design, operation, or layout to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.

The Cannabis Overlay District (CB) allows for a variety of cannabis uses and facilities to be established subject to approval. The proposed use complies with the underlying overlay zoning and goals in that it adds a retail, manufacturing, and distribution use within the district.

Design Review and Landscaping

This Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been formulated based upon the findings of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) prepared for the Antioch Natural Supplements Project (project) submitted by Natural Supplements (the project sponsor) for which the City of Antioch (City) is the CEQA Lead Agency for environmental review. The MMRP, which is provided in Table A, lists mitigation measures recommended in the IS/MND for the proposed project and identifies mitigation monitoring requirements. The Final MMRP must be adopted when the City makes a final decision on the project.

This MMRP has been prepared to comply with the requirements of State law (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6). State law requires the adoption of an MMRP when mitigation measures are required to avoid significant impacts. The MMRP is intended to ensure compliance during implementation of the project.

The MMRP is organized in a matrix format:

The first column identifies the mitigation measure that would be implemented for each project impact.

The second column refers to the party or agency responsible for implementing the mitigation measure.

The third column refers to the action that prompts implementation and/or implementation timing.

The fourth column refers to the agency responsible for oversight or ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented.

The fifth column refers to the action that prompts the commencement of monitoring.

The sixth column refers to when the monitoring will occur to ensure that the mitigation action is completed.

The seventh and final column is where the lead agency contact initials and dates are provided as verification of mitigation measure implementation.

The facility will be utilized primarily for flower production non-flowering cannabis plants sourced from Natural Supplements small on site Nursery Room, which would also be located in the Cultivation Premises.

Immature cannabis plants may also be sourced from licensed nurseries and placed into soilless, organic mediums which will facilitate the transfer of water and nutrients from the automated nutrient injection system to each individual plant.

During the cultivation process, Cultivation Technicians will monitor automated cultivation systems in each room. These systems will be comprised of 1,000-watt cultivation lamps, automated nutrient injection systems with irrigation lines running to each grow room where the plants will be fed, air-conditioning, dehumidification and ventilation systems, as well as Sonic Wave Harmonizers which stimulate the plants stomata, aiding plant growth. (50-Watt and 200- Watt Cultivation Lamps would be utilized in the Propagation and Vegetation in the event those processes are implemented on-site).

This process will also involve the repeated application of unique identifiers and recording of data During the cultivation process the Operations Manager will monitor the cultivation technicians, system as required by law during each shift.

1.Propagation-At the onset of the propagation stage, cultivation technicians would implant immature clones into a small organic medium comprised or rock-wool where, during a two week period the plantings will sit under 50-Watt lamps with eighteen (18) hours of light and six (6) hours of darkness to take root prior to the Vegetation stage. Propagation will take place within Grow Room 6.

2.Vegetation-At the onset of the vegetation stage, the same organic mediums with plantings intact would be placed by technicians into larger soil pots where, during a three to four-week period the immature plants will sit under 200-Watt lamps with eighteen (18) hours of light and six (6) hours of darkness as they develop more robust stalks to support themselves prior to the flowering stage.

3. Flowering-the flowering phase will take place during a seven to nine-week period where mature cannabis plants will sit under 1,000-Watt lamps with twelve (12) hours of light and twelve (12) hours of darkness, causing the plant flowers to bloom. Trellis infrastructure will be set up within these grow rooms to support the plants as they flower.

Ten days into the flowering phase, the plants will be pruned by the cultivation technicians to optimize plant health, yield, and quality.

Lyfted, resulting from its many years of experience in the cannabis industry and commitment to excellence in its operation, produces a top-quality product that is highly sought after in the commercial cannabis consumer market, with demand exceeding its current production capacity at its existing cultivation facility.

Operating Experience
Lyfted Farms is the first commercial cannabis operator to have been permitted for Cannabis Operations by the County of Stanislaus, having been approved in January 2019 for Use Permits and Development Agreements for the Operation of its Cultivation, Nursery and Distribution facilities located at 5271 and 5266 Jerusalem Ct. in Modesto, CA. Notably, Lyfted was allowed to continue and transition its non-profit collective cannabis operations through the County's initial application and approval process, and has been an active participant in California's Commercial Cannabis Market since January 2018 following receipt of temporary State licenses to operate. Notably, Lyfted has recently been recognized by world renowned Forbes Magazine for the quality and desirability of its products:

Following anticipated approval by the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, this facility will be improved to Lyfted's custom specifications, and operated as one of the largest facilities of its kind anywhere in the State. The recommendation comes a full year into Lyfted operating under existing Development Agreements with Stanislaus County, serving as an acknowledgment of Lyfted's successful track record as well as collaborative relationship Lyfted had established with the County.

Odor Mitigation Plan
Natural Supplements shall protect the health and well-being of its personnel as well as that of the community at large by preventing the odor of cannabis on-site from creating a negative impact.

Accordingly, Natural Supplements has designed the following Odor Control Plan to mitigate against such a nuisance:

Building A shall be equipped with a 20-Ton Commercial HVAC system to provide constant air ventilation for customers, employees, visitors, and third party vendors. All cannabis products provided to customers for retail shall be contained in sealed, tamper- evident, smell proof packaging prior to leaving the facility; Furthermore, areas housing bulk cannabis product, or utilized for the processing of cannabis products shall be equipped with industrial carbon filters which will scrub the interior atmosphere of all potentially offensive cannabis odor.

The Processing Rooms, and Cannabis Storage Room shall also be will be equipped with 14-inch filtered exhaust fans which will ensure no odor of cannabis emanates into the external atmosphere from within the facility.

Once effective odor control has been established, periodic testing shall be conducted to ensure that the odor control systems are operating to maintain the baseline. As the carbon filters and other air filtration equipment ages, they will be frequently monitored and replaced as necessary.

Finally, the Operations Manager shall inspect the interior and exterior of the facilities daily to verify the effectiveness of the odor control measures being utilized.

Air Filtration Systems
Our commercial HVAC systems shall be upgraded and customized with integrated HEPA and carbon filtration system to maintain a comfortable odor-free environment for all employees, customers, visitors and vendors.

Cultivation Facility Air Ventilation, Filtration and Odor Control Each Grow Room shall be equipped with its own 5-Ton HVAC unit. As the HVAC systems provide artificial temperature control and air flow, fresh-air wall-ports, filtered ceiling ventilation hatches, and industrial carbon filters shall provide a failsafe to ensure temperature balance, constant air flow, and odor remediation in the event of an HVAC system failure.

Within each grow room, three (3) condensing units, and three (3) evaporators will be implemented to provide necessary cooling and dehumidification. 10-inch circular fans Coupled with industrial carbon filters will be utilized in each grow room, the Drying/Curing room, the Processing/Packaging Room, and the Cultivation Storage Room to D26
Natural Supplements, Inc. 28
provide complete odor remediation such that there will be no detectable odor of cannabis outside of the facility.

The following formula utilized to control air quality is as follows: Cubic Feet of Room Space % 3 = Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) of airflow necessary for internal odor scrubbing. (Note: Please see the Attached Odor Control Plan prepared by Sylvia Fontes, Certified Industrial Hygienist)

2. Deer Valley Estates Project Deer Valley Estates Project (PD-19-03, UP-19-12, AR- 19-19) -- The applicant, Blue Mountain Communities, requests certification of an Environmental Impact Report and approval of the following entitlements: Vesting Tentative Map, Final Development Plan, Use Permit, and Design Review for the Deer Valley Estates Project. The project would subdivide two undeveloped parcels totaling

37.56 acres to construct 121 new single family homes along with new infrastructure, parking, detention basins, lighting, landscaping, and a private park. The Project is located at 6100 Deer Valley Road (APNs 055-071-026 and 057-022-013). An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Associate Planner Merideth presented the staff report dated June 16, 2021 recommending 1) Adopt the resolution in Attachment A recommending certification of the Deer Valley Estates Project Environmental Impact Report, adopting findings of fact and statement of overriding considerations, and adopting the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. 2) Approve the resolution recommending that the City Council approve a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Final Development Plan, Use Permit, and Design Review subject to conditions of approval (PD- 19-03, UP-19-12, AR-19-19).

In response to Vice Chair Martin Associate Planner Merideth stated that the applicant may be able to describe what was in the pipelines and noted easements were called out on the project plans. She commented when this item was before Council previously, it was noted in the minutes that they were working to relocate the pipelines; however, there were no entitlements or conditions for this project that would require the pipeline to be moved. She explained that there were conditions of approval that Wellness Way would be used as the construction route for this project as opposed to the neighborhood streets. Additionally, there was a condition of approval that improvements to Wellness Way needed to be completed prior to the first building permit for this project. She confirmed the applicant would be installing a wood fence because it was on a property line with existing fences.

Commissioner Barrow arrived at 6:38 P.M.

In response to Commissioner Parsons, Associate Planner Merideth explained the main entrance to the project was on Wellness Way.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Associate Planner Merideth explained the alternate planning process was a twostep process where the applicant goes through the master development plan/planned development rezone and then they come back for the final development plan. She added the General Plan designation for this site was low density housing and this application maintained that zoning.

Commissioner Gutilla mentioned if the density did not change maybe the City should have addressed some of the affordability goals by keeping the density and requiring a certain percentage of the homes to be duplexes or zero lots and she believed an HOA community was a good opportunity to implement some of these types of homes.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Theresa Wallace, LSA, confirmed there was a bike lane on the east bound direction of Wellness Way. Ambarish Mukherjee, LSA, Traffic Consultant, added that this project would be constructing a bike lane on their side. He noted they looked at the queues for the driveways for Kaiser and the project and determined they would operate satisfactorily. He further noted that 90% of traffic would use Wellness Way onto Deer Valley Road for access to the project and the remaining 10% would use the residential streets to travel to the school. He stated bicyclist would be able to maneuver safely into the development. He explained that traffic at Lone Tree Way and Deer Valley Road would operate at an unsatisfactory level even if the project were not built and the only thing that could improve the situation would be improving the signal timing. He agreed that traffic calming measures could be utilized to deter the use of the residential streets for access to this neighborhood; however, it would require a collaborative effort between the applicant, City, and residents in the area.

Commissioner Gutilla believed there should be a congruent naming system for the streets with the existing neighborhood and questioned why they were changed from the Native American theme previously proposed.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Associate Planner Merideth explained the applicant proposed the names and they were reviewed by engineering staff who sent it to outside agencies for review to ensure they are not duplicated and easy to understand for emergency radio traffic.

She noted this was a separate neighborhood from the one to the north and they were independent names. She reported the previous project for this site had the pipeline running through in backyards and the plan now had a trail over the pipeline. She explained that there was not an entitlement that stated the pipeline must be removed and the past meeting minutes, which was the record they have for the previous project, indicated that the applicant was in discussions with removing the pipeline; however, it did not indicate that an agreement had been made. She added that a CEQA document reviewed environmental concerns for the project and there were safety measures in place from a state and federal level regarding the pipelines. She noted the gate at the park was added to increase privacy for the neighborhood. She further noted there were conditions of approval regarding the maintenance of the common areas owned by the HOA.

In response to Commissioner Motts, Associate Planner Merideth confirmed that all of the streets to the north connect through to the proposed site and the majority of the traffic would be on Wellness Way. She noted they looked at access and street design as part of the review of this project.

Commissioner Motts suggested speed tables for the neighborhood to the north to prevent traffic from filtering through the existing neighborhood.

Chairperson Schneiderman opened the public hearing.

Mike Harlan, Deer Valley Estates, gave a PowerPoint presentation which included; Deer Valley Estates Area Map, Site Plan, Setback Program, Architectural Overview, Proposed Park Redesign, Park Design Comparison, Response to Neighbor Comments and Traffic Study.

In response to Chairperson Schneiderman, Mr. Harlan stated that he believed these houses would be attractive to 60% mature buyers and 40% being mid-thirties to mid-forties. He noted their target would be hospital employees and currently they projected the price starting just under $700k.

Chairperson Schneiderman stated she liked the larger lots and layout of the project.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Mr. Harlan explained that the park design was revised after the Parks and Recreation Commission provided their review and prior to his involvement in the project. He noted the people previously involved did not understand the City ordinance and he felt there was an opportunity to improve the park design by bringing elements that would qualify it for fee credits and make it more valuable to the community. He confirmed the new design eliminated the trail. He stated if the City wanted a gate installed it could be explored with staff.

Commissioner Gutilla stated that she preferred that there be no gate to eliminate foot traffic in the area.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Associate Planner Merideth confirmed that Wellness Way dead ends at the Kaiser property, which was why there was one entrance to the property. She noted there was an easement so the Oneida Way option was available should it become necessary in the future. She further noted the project on the backside of Kaiser would not connect through to Wellness Way.

Commissioner Gutilla expressed concern regarding plants proposed in the landscaping plan because they were listed as invasive species or had a high potential for being invasive.

Mr. Harlan explained that they were at the conceptual stage of the project and would be open to suggestions for the landscape plan. He reported homeowners could purchase or rent solar systems and they would be included and would be orientated to capture as much of the sun as possible. He stated they do not install gray water diversion due to warranty issues and potential contamination. He noted they typically offered EV charging as an option. He further noted they did not plan the project to be electric only and they preferred not to revise their plans to eliminate gas. He commented that these homes would not have fireplaces.

Commissioner Parsons stated she believed there should be another access point to the project from Wellness Way.

David Yatabe, Consultant Traffic Engineer, explained that the Oneida Way easement was the potential option for the second connection to Wellness Way.

Jon Crawford, Consultant Traffic Engineer, reported there was a concern that if they opened access from Oneida Way to Sand Creek, people would use it and cut-through the Kaiser project.

He noted there was no safety concerns related to one access to the project from Wellness Way since there would be areas to the north to exit in the event of an emergency.

In response to Commissioner Parsons, Mr. Harlan stated he believed natural gas was flowing through the pipelines.

Commissioner Parsons expressed concern that the pipeline had not been moved.

Mr. Harlan responded that they designed the site so it would not be impactful to people immediately adjacent to the pipeline.

Vice Chair Martin expressed concern that the pipeline belonged to Kinder Morgan who had a reputation for not maintaining pipelines in neighboring cities. He stated he was not happy they had an easement through this project and there was natural gas in the pipeline. He noted there was a potential for a catastrophic failure within the area. He questioned if the applicant was willing to work with them to relocate the pipeline. He reported part of the consideration of this project related to the health and safety of the community and this issue was a concern.

Mr. Harlan explained that typically the pipelines were owned by the company, and they were happy with their location so if the Planning Commission wanted them relocated, Blue Mountain Communities would be financially responsible, and it would probably require tearing up Deer Valley Way, Wellness Way and could potentially impact Kaiser property. He stated he believed they designed a project to mitigate the situation and he understood the Commission’s concerns and noted they would be careful. He offered to discuss relocating the pipeline with the owners and noted that he could not commit to relocating the pipelines.

Vice Chair Martin commented that lot #96 had a pipeline that terminated halfway through the lot so a house would be located on an easement.

In response to Vice Chair Martin, Mr. Harlan stated that they would inform perspective homeowners that ambulances utilized Wellness Way and Kaiser had a heliport. He responded that the easement on lot 96 was to be quitclaimed and go away.

Associate Planner Merideth agreed that the easement would be quitclaimed, and it would not exist when the homes were developed.

In response to Commissioner Riley, Associate Planner Merideth confirmed that Kaiser owned the property where Wellness Way ended.

Commissioner Parsons stated if the City wanted a subdivision behind Kaiser, staff needed to request Kaiser extend Wellness Way. She noted she could not vote to approve the project because she believed there were not enough access points to be safe.

Mr. Harlan responded there was also a 25-foot easement and a 60-foot-wide offer of dedication for Oneida Way to go through should Kaiser continue Wellness Way and there were four connections to the north and one connection to the south. He noted there were many ways to get into the project in the event of an emergency and staff had looked at that in detail and it was their conclusion as well.

The following public comment was made by an individual utilizing Zoom Audio/Video Technology.

Bree Simonsen stated that if Piute Way was opened up, she believed speed bumps would be necessary to deter traffic. She voiced her support with having no homes or walking paths behind her residence. She reported many residents in her neighborhood attended a community meeting in 2019 and they voted in support of a soundwall to be built and noted they had concerns regarding the wall height because their homes stand taller than the current ground level behind their houses. She questioned who was responsible for installing the fence/soundwall and noted the majority of concerns were related to security and durability. She noted they were concerned these homes would block their current views decreasing their property values. She expressed concern that they would be constructing homes adjacent to the pipeline which could be hit during the process.

Kathy read her email asking the Planning Commission to vote no in regard to approving the EIR conducted during a pandemic, noting the results were inaccurate due to individuals required to stay home with their children.

Chairperson Schneiderman closed the public hearing.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Associate Planner Merideth reported staff had not changed the mitigation measures for the biological resources requested by the applicant in their letter dated May 20, 2021.

On motion by Vice Chair Martin, seconded by Commissioner Motts the Planning Commission adopted the resolution recommending certification of the Deer Valley Estates Project Environmental Impact Report, adopting findings of fact and statement of overriding considerations, and adopting the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. The motion carried the following vote:

AYES: Motts, Barrow, Martin and Chairperson Schneiderman NOES: Parsons, Gutilla
ABSTAIN: Riley
ABSENT: None
Commissioner Motts stated that he believed removal of the pipeline was a bigger discussion for cities and regions and not an issue that could be addressed by the developer. He noted they could recommend Council look at this issue within purview of this project.

Vice Chair Martin expressed concern that the pipeline issue was brought forward in 2007 and nothing had resulted. He stated he believed this project with a pipeline running it through had the potential to be a detriment to the health and welfare of the City of Antioch and houses should never be built around pipelines. He noted that he believed a second access point for this project was necessary and the potential future access off Oneida Way was problematic. He stated he liked the design and variety of the houses being proposed. He noted this area was zoned for F6

single family residential so views for the existing neighborhood would be impacted. He further noted the City was required by the State to produce a certain number of units.

Commissioner Motts stated he believed the City needed to address the location of pipelines in Antioch and noted with the movement to renewable energy the pipelines would not need to carry natural gas. He reiterated that he would support recommending the City Council review where the transmission lines were located and how they could be changed going forward. He noted traffic calming measures may slow emergency response; however, he felt they may be necessary to prevent sideshow and speeding through the neighborhoods.

Commissioner Parsons stated there were concerns in 2003 regarding the pipelines and something should have been done to better protect residents. She noted that she did not want the pipeline built on and it needed to be revisited. She reiterated that the project needed two access points from Wellness Way for the safety of the residents.

Chairperson Schneiderman stated she did not know how to evaluate the safety of the pipelines and suggested staff research and assess the risk.

Mr. Harlan commented that he had looked into the pipelines and it looked like it was not natural gas but an oil pipeline.

Chairperson Schneiderman stated she believed the subdivision was well laid out and the designs were beautiful and there were large lots. She suggested the Parks and Recreation Commission, or staff review the revised park design proposed this evening.

Commissioner Gutilla stated she wanted to know what the pipelines were for and whether they were active.

City Attorney Smith explained that the Planning Commission could motion to table and then describe the information they wanted staff to bring back to the Commission.

A motion was made by Commissioner Gutilla and Commissioner Parsons seconded the motion to table the Deer Valley Estates Project until staff returned with a report on the following items:

Make certain the Maidenhair Trees are male only ginkgo trees Remove and replace Dwarf fountain grass, red fountain grass, Berkley sedge and cotoneaster plants
Remove and replace Chinese Elm, Chinese pistache and London plane trees Traffic Calming Measures to discourage through traffic for the existing subdivision The addition of a condition of approval addressing Solar Move the homes to electric and solar only
Park amenities included in the final plans for the project Discussion ensued regarding the previous motion with Associate Planner Scudero responding that solar on homes was a California building code requirement.

Planning Commission

June 16, 2021 Page 8 of 12
Commissioner Gutilla responded that Sacramento was finding ways for developers to work around that by providing community-based solar which did not save homeowners as much money.

Associate Planner Scudero responded that if a developer proposed community solar it would have to be approved by the Planning Commission and he did not believe this applicant was proposing that option. Secondly, traffic calming in the new development could be looked at by the engineering staff; however, the City had a traffic calming policy so he did not believe it could be required through this process because it required consent of homeowners.

Commissioner Gutilla suggested looking at traffic calming at the connection points on the new development side of Piute Way, Mojave Way and Oneida Way.

Associate Planner Scudero responded staff could look into that option. With regards to landscaping, he noted the Planning Commission had the discretion to revise the landscape plan.

Associate Planner Merideth commented that the park plan proposed this evening by the applicant was not part of the project plans. She noted the project plans as proposed went through the process outlined in the Municipal Code and were included in the staff report this evening. Furthermore, there were recommended conditions of approval that the design of the park and the park in-lieu fee return to the Parks and Recreation Commission prior to obtaining a building permit.

Commissioner Gutilla withdrew her motion and Commissioner Parsons withdrew her second.

On motion by Commissioner Gutilla, seconded by Commissioner Parsons the Planning Commission unanimously tabled the matter and directed staff to return to the Commission with reports on the following:

Pipeline concerns
Traffic calming measures
Landscape revisions – to include only male gingko Maidenhair Trees and eliminate dwarf fountain grass, red fountain grass, Berkley sedge or cotoneaster, Chinese elm, Chinese pistache and London plane trees
Solar requirement as a condition of approval
Switching the project from natural gas to electric
Requiring two entrances to the project from Wellness Way The motion carried the following vote:

2. UP-20-01, AR-20-01 – Natural Supplements– The Applicant, JKC3H8 requests approval of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, a Use Permit, and a Design Review for the development of a new cannabis operations facility. The proposed project would be developed on a 3.96-acre site that is currently undeveloped and is primarily a dirt lot with trees and other foliage. The subject property is located at 2100-2300 Wilbur Avenue (APN 051-100-028).

Associate Planner Cortez presented the staff report dated June 16, 2021 recommending the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1. Adopt the resolution approving the Natural Supplements Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP); 2. Adopt the resolution approving a Use Permit, and Design Review (UP-20-01, AR-20-01) for a cannabis operations facility, subject to conditions of approval.

In response to Vice Chair Martin, Associate Planner Cortez explained the approval process for the septic system.

Associate Planner Scudero added that Contra Costa County Environmental Health regulated and approved all septic tanks in Antioch.

Vice Chair Martin commented the zoning for this site was planned business center which indicated no raw materials processing or bulk handling. He questioned how bulk cannabis processing was allowed.

Associate Planner Cortez explained that overlay zones were outlined by City Council as being appropriate for these types of uses. He confirmed the overlay zone was overriding from the standard baseline zoning.

Vice Chair Martin expressed concern that project specific condition #17 did not require 24-hour on-site security, which was a typical condition for all cannabis businesses.

Associate Planner Cortez responded that the condition could be modified to have wording that has been applied to all other cannabis projects.

Vice Chair Martin stated he was interested in hearing why the project specific condition had been changed and noted his recommendation would be to modify the condition to be consistent with other approvals.

Associate Planner Scudero stated that the Antioch Police Department was not present this evening to respond; however, it may have been copied from a previous template of conditions.

Brett Jolley, Land Use Counsel for Natural Supplements, 3031 W. March Lane, Stockton, stated he was presenting the project this evening. He commented that there had been extensive work on project design, security, environmental review, mitigation measures, neighborhood responsibility plan and ensuring this was a project for the City of Antioch. He highlighted the F9

project overview as detailed in the staff report. He clarified the septic had been engineered for the site and required approval from the Contra Costa County Environmental Health. He noted it was only for standard septic and sewer waste. He further noted it would not include waste from irrigation or processing, which would be contained in a separate containment. He stated they would agree to having one (1) security guard stationed afterhours and two (2) during business hours. He highlighted the following benefits of the project: first, improvements to Wilbur Avenue and an architectural appealing facility to encourage further development, secondly, economic growth and employment opportunities and lastly, increased security and desirability in the surrounding area as well as increased revenue through the Operating Agreement. He requested the Planning Commission adopt the staff recommendation.

In response to Chairperson Schneiderman, Mr. Jolley responded if it were cost effective and beneficial, they would install solar. He noted this was their first cannabis business.

In response to Commissioner Motts, Mr. Jolley explained that the focus was recreational, medical and health related cannabis products.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Associate Planner Scudero clarified that the City did not have an Ordinance requiring solar for commercial projects.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Mr. Jolley stated delivery drivers carried a limited amount of cash and it was kept in a lockbox compartment in the rear of the vehicle. He commented the bike racks would be included as part of the retail location. He confirmed that there was a typographical error on page 13 of the report and it should state the facility is geared toward the production of flowering plants. He explained that whatever was required of OSHA would be incorporated into the facility. He noted they would be using all organic fertilizers. He confirmed there were typographical errors in the staff report page D14, and there were actually five (5) 4x40 square foot rolling tables and thirty-six (36) lights per room.

Commissioner Gutilla agreed with Chairperson Schneiderman regarding her support for solar being installed for this project.

Mr. Jolley responded that they intended to investigate solar.

In response to Commissioner Gutilla, Associate Planner Scudero explained that solar requirements were a City Council policy issue.

City Attorney Smith added that a solar requirement for commercial businesses would require an ordinance and the process would be getting a Councilmember interested in bringing the item forward to the City Council who could provide direction to City Attorney Smith to research the item.

In response to Commissioner Riley, Mr. Jolley stated they estimated return on investment in approximately 3-5 years.

F10
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting

Commissioner Riley commented that the return on investment for solar panels was in the 3–5- year range. He encouraged the applicant to move forward.

Mr. Jolley agreed that solar was preferable and they wanted to have a project that was beneficial both economically and environmentally. He noted there would be serious consideration to how much and what type of energy conservation measures and solar were put into the project.

In response to Vice Chair Martin, Mr. Jolley stated they anticipated 75-100 customers per day for retail which was minimal from a traffic standpoint. He noted there would be 36 full-time employees with staggered schedules. He explained that this business was intended primarily to be a vertically integrated system with cultivation processing and sales to customers on site.

Chairperson Schneiderman opened and closed the public hearing with no members of the public requesting to speak.

Commissioner Motts spoke in support of the project and suggested that City Council consider expansion of the overlay district. He stated he hoped that the Wilbur Avenue corridor would be developed with heavy industry.

City Attorney Smith responded that expansion of the overlay had been discussed by staff and the Cannabis Standing Committee and it would be coming to Council for consideration in the near future.

Chairperson Schneiderman spoke in support of the project and discussed the issue of saturation in Antioch. She suggested the applicant benefit the Antioch Youth Sports Complex. She also spoke in support of the applicant moving forward with solar for the project.

On motion by Vice Chair Martin, seconded by Commissioner Barrow the Planning Commission unanimously adopted the resolution approving the Natural Supplements Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of February 22, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Ruthann G. Ziegler, Special Counsel

APPROVED BY:Thomas Lloyd Smith, City AttorneyTLS
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Amending Section 9-5.3843 E of the Antioch Municipal Code to Modify the Distance between New Tobacco Businesses and Specified Uses and to Clarify the Limit on New Tobacco Retailers

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce, waive the first reading, and read by title only the proposed amendment to the City’s Municipal Code attached hereto as Attachment A.

The proposed amendment would:

Require new tobacco businesses to be at least 1000 feet from schools and similar uses
Clarify the City’s existing ban on new tobacco retailers

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action will have a minimal, if any, effect on the City’s budget.

DISCUSSION
The Council previously considered this topic at its May 25, 2021 meeting during a detailed presentation by YTAPP (Youth Tobacco Advocacy Policy Project). The May 25 staff report and the materials submitted by YTAPP are incorporated herein by reference.

The Council’s consensus was to bring back an ordinance reflecting much of YTAPP’s proposal.

YTAPP had six elements in its proposal. Two elements proposed involved land use restrictions. Therefore, those elements went first to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation and are the subject of this staff report. The other four elements Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item#5 2
are reflected in the draft ordinance attached to another staff report on the City Council’s agenda tonight.

The draft ordinance refers to a tobacco retailer or business. Under the Antioch Municipal Code, a “tobacco retailer” is an establishment that sells tobacco or tobacco products; however, certain businesses may sell tobacco or tobacco products and not be a tobacco retailer. Such businesses are a convenience store when ancillary to a gas station and with less than 20% of its sales area devoted to tobacco products or a retail business larger than 5000 square feet with less than 5% of its sales area devoted to tobacco products.

Below is a discussion of how the draft ordinance would implement the two elements.

1. Requiring new businesses with tobacco sales to be at least 1000 feet from schools and similar uses
The City’s municipal code currently requires at least 500 feet between a business selling tobacco and a school, public park, playground, recreational center, or child care center. (Section 9-5.3843 E(2)(c).) YTAPP asked that this distance be increased to 1000 feet.

The Planning Commission made a recommend in favor of this change and also recommended that the change apply to businesses that sell or otherwise provide vaping products for use with tobacco. Since the existing definition of tobacco product includes any “device that delivers nicotine or other vaporized liquids to the person inhaling from the device, including … an electronic cigarette, … vaporizer pen, or hookah…,” no additional change is necessary to implement the Planning Commission’s direction. In addition, the other ordinance before the Council this evening incorporates YTAPP’s request to ban the sale of electronic devices for smoking tobacco or tobacco products.

2. Restricting the number of new tobacco retailers
YTAPP asked the City Council to limit the number of use permits granted to new tobacco retailers. However, in 2017, the Council adopted Ordinance 2125-C-S, which included a ban on new tobacco retailers. In reviewing that ordinance, staff determined that the ordinance should be clarified regarding the ban. The Planning Commission recommended in favor of that clarification, which is reflected in the attached draft ordinance.

DATE: Regular Meeting of February 22, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Ruthann G. Ziegler, Special Counsel

APPROVED BY:Thomas Lloyd Smith, City AttorneyTLS
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Amending Section 6-8.02 of the Antioch Municipal Code to Add the Definitions of Characterizing Flavor, Cigar, and Little Cigar (including Cigarillo) and Amending Section 6-

8.14 Both to Restrict Tobacco Retailers or Businesses from Selling or Providing Tobacco with Characterizing Flavor, Selling or Providing Electronic Cigarettes or E-Cigarettes, and To Regulate the Size and Price of Specified Packages of Cigarettes, Little Cigars, and Cigars

Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item#6 2

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action may have a minimal effect on the City’s budget through decreased sales of the restricted tobacco and tobacco products.

The Council’s consensus was to bring back an ordinance reflecting much of YTAPP’s proposal.

YTAPP had six elements in its proposal. Four of those elements are reflected in the draft ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit A The other two the elements, which involved land use restrictions, are addressed in a separate staff report on tonight’s agenda because those two elements went first to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation prior to tonight’s City Council meeting.

Below is a discussion of how the draft ordinance would implement the four elements.

1. Ban on tobacco products with characterizing flavors, such as mint, menthol, chocolate.

YTAPP requested a ban on flavored tobacco. The proposed ordinance adds a definition of characterizing flavor (Section 6-8.02) identical to the definition used by several other California jurisdictions and restricts a tobacco retailer or business from selling, offering for sale, possessing with the intent to sell, offering in exchange for any form of consideration, or providing at no cost any tobacco or tobacco product with a characterizing flavor. (Section 6-8.14 A.)

While California has adopted a similar ban via SB 793, the state is not currently enforcing the ban and, instead, is waiting for the outcome of a November 2022 referendum.

2. Ban on electronic cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

YTAPP asked for a ban on electronic smoking devices for use with tobacco. The proposed ordinance restricts a tobacco retailer or business from selling, offering for sale, possessing with the intent to sell, offering in exchange for any form of Antioch City Council Report
February 22, 2022 Agenda Item#6 3
consideration, or providing at no cost any electronic cigarette or e-cigarette for use with tobacco or tobacco products. (Section 6-8.14 B.)

3. Requiring a minimum package size for cigarettes, little cigars, and cigars.

YTAPP asked for restrictions on package size of certain tobacco products. The proposed ordinance adds definitions of cigars and little cigars, which includes cigarillos (Section 6-8.02) and restricts a tobacco retailer or business from selling, offering for sale, possessing with the intent to sell, offer in exchange for any form of consideration, or provide at no cost any package of fewer than twenty little cigars or any package of fewer than six cigars. (Section 6-8.14 C (1) and (2).)

4. Requiring a minimum price for certain tobacco products.

YTAPP suggested a minimum price for certain tobacco products. The proposed ordinance restricts a tobacco retailer or business from selling, offering for sale, possessing with the intent to sell, offering in exchange for any form of consideration, or providing at no cost any package of cigarettes, little cigars, or cigars at a price less than ten dollars per package, including applicable fees and taxes. (Section 6-8.14 C (3).)

Unhoused Resident Services – Overview of State of California Homekey Financing
It is recommended that the City Council discuss and provide staff direction regarding the potential pursuit of Homekey financing opportunities.

Unknown at this time.

The City of Antioch is seeking to pursue strategies that both respond to the needs of unhoused residents and community concerns about homeless encampments. A body of work has since been developed and is currently in progress with key support from Focus Strategies, the City’s technical assistance provider.

The City commissioned Focus Strategies to conduct a feasibility study to examine several dimensions of a potential motel bridge housing program. After the findings and recommendations were accepted by the City Council, the City subsequently pursued the solicitation of proposals for (1) a motel occupancy agreement program to shelter unhoused residents and (2) non-congregate bridge housing program services. The potential awards of contract will be presented to the City Council for action in FY 2022.

Over the last several months, the City has fielded inquiries and expressions of interest in the State of California’s Homekey Program. At staff’s request, Focus Strategies has prepared a presentation for Council consideration and potential direction to staff.
