2 Agenda Item #
STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Special Meeting of February 23, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Discussion Item: Potential Urgency Ordinance Banning All New Liquor Stores in the City of Antioch
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction whether staff should prepare an urgency ordinance prohibiting all new liquor stores in the City of Antioch.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council were to pass an urgency ordinance prohibiting new liquor stores at a later date, the potential fiscal impact would be a loss of sales tax and business license tax revenue from any potential future liquor stores.
DISCUSSION
Councilmember Wilson has requested that the City Council discuss potentially passing an urgency ordinance to prohibit all new liquor stores within the City of Antioch.
Government Code Section 65858 allows a City to adopt an urgency ordinance to take effect immediately upon adoption if the City Council uses certain procedures and makes specified findings. An urgency ordinance requires the City Council to make findings that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and approval of various entitlements, such as use permits, would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare.
An urgency ordinance requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council for adoption. It stays in effect only for 45 days. If the City Council wants the urgency ordinance to continue in effect, the City Council would have to extend the urgency ordinance. The urgency ordinance can be extended for up to 22 ½ months. The City Council has the option of terminating the ordinance at any time during this two-year period.
