AGENDA MATTER:
FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW ADDING CHAPTER 5.55 TO TITLE 5 REGARDING TOBACCO RETAILER REGISTRATION. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW TO AMEND THE FY 2024/25 MASTER FEES
SCHEDULE TO INCLUDE A REGULATORY PERMIT FEE FOR TOBACCO RETAILERS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed ordinance requires registration of tobacco retailers and amending the Barstow Municipal Code to add a new chapter 5.55. This item includes an amendment to the Master Fees Schedule to add a tobacco retailer regulatory permit fee.
DISCUSSION:
At the October 7, 2024, the City Council referred this ordinance to the Rules and Policy Committee for consideration and to provide recommendations to the City Council.
At the January 28, 2025 meeting, the Committee requested the following changes to the draft ordinance:
• Add page numbers
• Add “City Manager or designee”
• Grandfather clause for existing businesses to have time to apply from their existing locations for 180 days after the effective date of the ordinance. Once the 180 days expires, businesses operating at a location in violation of the buffers could not obtain a tobacco retailer permit. A business operating from a grandfathered location also could not sell their business/permit to another location as the permits are not transferrable.
• Add that fees are to be set by a resolution of the city council • Fix typos
On February 25, 2025, the Rule and Policy Committee finalized their feedback for the City Council on this ordinance for consideration, which is captured in the redline enclosed as Attachment 1. A clean copy is attached as Attachment 2.
This ordinance requires an amendment to the Master Fees Resolution to add the regulatory permit fee.
The fee study for this permit is enclosed as Attachment 3. An amendment to the Master Fees Resolution is enclosed as Attachment 4.
After consultation with the Acting Police Chief and Acting City Manager, staff is also recommended to strike a mandatory requirement on the number of inspections required to allow the Police Department the flexibility to administer the enforcement program for these businesses similar to the sales of alcohol to minors and based on available resources.

AGENDA ITEM
Background
The purpose of a tobacco retail registration ordinance is to give local officials an effective way to enforce state laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors. The goal of the ordinance is to reduce underage use of tobacco products by limiting access without burdening local retailers. Furthermore, the ordinance will not penalize legitimate business activities of retailers who sell tobacco products to adults over twenty-one (21) years of age. While state and federal laws exist to regulate tobacco sales, enforcement is often lacking, requiring local agencies to conduct such enforcement.
The proposed ordinance will require retailers to register with the City to sell tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia. Registration will be required annually, and the city has discretion to set a registration fee or not charge a fee at all. It will be unlawful for any retailer to sell tobacco products without current registration. State and federal law prohibits the sale of tobacco products to persons under twenty-one years old, and requires retailers to check the identification of all customers attempting to purchase tobacco products. Since December 20, 2019, there is no longer an exemption for sale to military personnel under the age of 21.
The ordinance establishes policies and procedures for the regular monitoring of tobacco retailers by the law enforcement, including the use of minors for sting operations. Any retailer who is found to be in violation of the ordinance and state law prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors may be fined a minimum of $1,000 and will have their registration (and, thus, their right to sell tobacco) revoked for a specified period of time.
Attachment 1 - Redline - Ordinance adding Chapter 5.55 to Title 5 (Tobacco Retailer Registration) Attachment 2 - Clean Version - Ordinance adding Chapter 5.55 to Title 5 (Tobacco Retailer Registration) Attachment 3 - Fee study for regulatory permit Attachment 4 - Master Fees Resolution FISCAL IMPACT:
The implementation of the proposed tobacco retailer licensure will involve some costs to the city associated with creating application forms, receiving and processing applications, and issuing registrations or denying applications, but these costs can be largely, if not wholly, offset by application fees. The cost of enforcement will involve costs to the city, but these costs can be largely, if not wholly, offset by a combination of application fees and civil penalties collected from enforcement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt Ordinance No. -2025 requiring registration of tobacco retailers and amending the Barstow Municipal Code to add a new chapter 5.55; and adopt an amendment to the Master Fees Resolution to add a tobacco retailer regulatory permit fee 11 Packet Pg. 143

REGARDING TOBACCO RETAILER REGISTRATION
WHEREAS, the State Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Sections 65000, et seq.) broadly empowers the City to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health, safety, and welfare, and a balancing of property rights and the desires of the community and how its citizens envision their city; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Ordinance No. 969-2021 – City of Barstow Smoking Pollution Control Ordinance - to prohibit smoking and consumption of any and all kinds of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, all forms of vapes (including water based), water pipes, electronic cigarettes, and any other form of smoking in the places specified therein based upon its grave concerns about use of tobacco products; and WHEREAS, California voters approved Proposition 31 at the November 2022 election, which banned most sales of flavored tobacco products and tobacco product flavor enhancers.

WHEREAS, approximately 480,000 people die in the United States from tobaccorelated diseases every year, making it the nation’s leading cause of preventable death; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City of Barstow’s police power, as granted under Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for public health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, pursuant to its police powers, the City has the authority to regulate the sale of tobacco products in the City; and

“Person” includes an individual, a corporation, limited liability company, government, governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership or association, and all other legal or commercial entities. “Proprietor” means a person with an ownership or managerial interest in a business. An ownership interest shall be deemed to exist when a person has a ten (10) percent or greater interest in the stock, assets, or income of a business other than the sole interest of security for debt. A managerial interest shall be deemed to exist when a person can or does have or shares ultimate control over the day-to-day operations of a business. “Self-service display” means the open display or storage of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia in a manner that is physically accessible in any way to the general public without the assistance of the retailer or employee of the retailer and a direct person-toperson transfer between the purchaser and the retailer or employee of the retailer. A vending machine is a form of self-service display.
“Smoking” means possessing a lighted tobacco product, lighted tobacco paraphernalia, or any other lighted weed or plant (including a lighted pipe, cigar, hookah pipe, or cigarette of any kind) and also means the lighting of a tobacco product, tobacco paraphernalia, or any other weed or plant (including a pipe, cigar, hookah pipe, or cigarette of anykind). “Tobacco paraphernalia” means cigarette papers or wrappers, pipes, holders of smoking materials of all types, cigarette rolling machines, and any other item designed for the smoking, preparation, storing, or consumption of tobacco products. “Tobacco paraphernalia” does not include lighters, matches, or ashtrays. “Tobacco product” means any substance containing tobacco leaf, including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, hookah tobacco, shisha tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco, snus, bidis, or any other preparation of tobacco; any electronic device that delivers nicotine or other substances to the person inhaling from the device, including, but not limited to, an electronic cigarette, electronic cigar, electronic pipe, or electronic hookah; and any product or formulation of matter containing biologically active amounts of nicotine that is manufactured, sold, offered for sale, or otherwise

(d) The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing that is prohibited pursuant to this chapter (e.g., mobile vending)], that is unlawful pursuant to this code, or that is unlawful pursuant to any other law.
Sec. 5.55.080. Registration renewal and expiration.
(a) Renewal of Registration. A tobacco retailer's registration is invalid if its term has expired. The term of a tobacco retailer registration is one year. Each tobacco retailer shall apply for the renewal of his or her tobacco retailer's registration no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the term. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the application process set forth in Section 5.55.060 and the registration issuance process set forth in Section
5.55.070 apply to renewal registration applications.
(b) Expiration of Registration. A tobacco retailer's registration that is not timely renewed shall expire at the end of its term. To renew a registration not timely renewed pursuant to subparagraph A, the proprietor must:

Sec. 5.55.100. Registration conveys a limited, conditional privilege.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to grant any person obtaining and maintaining a tobacco retailer's registration any status or right other than the limited conditional privilege to act as a tobacco retailer at the location in the city identified on the face of the registration. For example, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to render inapplicable, supersede, or apply in lieu of, any other provision of applicable law, including but not limited to, any provision of this code, including without limitation chapter 6.40 and title 19, and any condition or limitation on smoking in an enclosed place of employment pursuant to California Labor Code section 6404.5. For example, obtaining a tobacco retailer registration does not make the retailer a "retail or wholesale tobacco shop" for the purposes of California Labor Code section 6404.5.
Sec. 5.55.110. Compliance monitoring.
(a) Compliance with this chapter shall be monitored by the Department. In addition, any peace officer may enforce the penal provisions of this chapter. The city may designate any number of additional persons to monitor compliance with this chapter.

11.a
Packet Pg. 152 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 9 of 14
retailers previously found to be in compliance a fewer number of times so that the Department may check the compliance of new registrations and tobacco retailers previously found in violation of the registration law more frequently. Nothing in this paragraph shall create a right of action in any registered tobacco retailer or other person against the city or its agents.
(c)(b) Compliance checks shall be conducted so as to allow the Department to determine, at a minimum, if a tobacco retailer is complying with laws regulating youth access to tobacco. When the Department deems appropriate, the compliance checks shall determine compliance with other laws applicable to tobacco retailing.
(d)(c) The city shall not enforce any law establishing a minimum age for tobacco purchases or possession against a person who otherwise might be in violation of such law because of the person's age (hereinafter "Youth Decoy") if the potential violation occurs when:
(a) The youth decoy is participating in a compliance check supervised by a peace officer or a code enforcement official of the city;
(b) The youth decoy is acting as an agent of a person designated by the city to monitor compliance with this chapter; or
(c) The youth decoy is participating in a compliance check funded in part, either directly or indirectly through subcontracting, by the city or the California Department of Health Care Services.
Sec. 5.55.120. Revocation of registration.
(a) Revocation of Registration for Violation.
(1) All registrations issued hereunder, shall operate in compliance with Chapter
5.55, this Code, and all the laws of the state and of the United States of America relating to tobacco retailing. Upon failure to comply, any and all registrations issued hereunder may be revoked by the city manager, subject to the provisions of subsection (a)(2) of this section.
Any license obtained by fraud or misrepresentation will automatically be null and void, with forfeiture of any and all monies paid to the city for the registration.

11.a
Packet Pg. 153 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 10 of 14
jurisdiction has found that the registrant has violated the requirements of this chapter or has pleaded guilty or no contest to a violation of Chapter 5.55. Any registration issued for a tobacco retailer which is found to be conducting retail sales in a manner adverse to the public health, welfare and safety; or
(1)c. operating in violation of this chapter, this Code, or state or federal law. may be revoked by the city manager at any time.
(2)(3) Prior to any revocation of a registration, the city manager shall, by their order, give the retailer 15-days’ notice of intent to revoke such registration.
Within 15 days after any such order, the licensee may request to appeal and show cause before the city council why such license should not be revoked.
Such hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular council meeting, or with five or more days’ notice to appellant at a special council meeting. Upon the failure of the retailer to appear at such meeting, or, if after appearance and hearing before the council, the council shall find good and sufficient cause for revocation, the registration shall be revoked.

The decision of the city council shall be served on the appellant and shall be subject to judicial review in the manner specified in Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5. The timely filing and diligent prosecution of an appeal to the city council is an administrative remedy which must be exhausted before judicial review may be sought. An appeal to the city council is not available for a revocation made pursuant to subsection C. below for registrations wrongly issued.
(6) Upon any revocation of a registration, no refund of any registration fee shall be made and the fee shall be forfeited to the city.
(5)
(6)(7) No tobacco retailing shall be conducted or operated in any manner at that location during any period of registration revocation.

The decision by the Department shall be the final decision of the city and not subject to administrative appeal. Such a revocation shall be without prejudice to the filing of a new registration application.
(d) Notice of Revocation. Upon a final determination by the city to revoke a tobacco retailer's registration under this chapter, the tobacco retailer shall prominently display notice of the revocation in a form specified by the city manager at the previously registered location of tobacco sales for the length of time the registration is revoked. A final determination by the city to revoke a tobacco retailer’s registration occurs when:
(1) A tobacco retailer fails to timely appeal a revocation as provided in Section

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW ADDING CHAPTER 5.55 TO TITLE 5 OF THE BARSTOW MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING TOBACCO RETAILER REGISTRATION
WHEREAS, the State Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Sections 65000, et seq.) broadly empowers the City to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health, safety, and welfare, and a balancing of property rights and the desires of the community and how its citizens envision their city; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Ordinance No. 969-2021 – City of Barstow Smoking Pollution Control Ordinance - to prohibit smoking and consumption of any and all kinds of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, all forms of vapes (including water based), water pipes, electronic cigarettes, and any other form of smoking in the places specified therein based upon its grave concerns about use of tobacco products; and WHEREAS, California voters approved Proposition 31 at the November 2022 election, which banned most sales of flavored tobacco products and tobacco product flavor enhancers. The ban went into effect on January 1, 2023; and WHEREAS, Proposition 31 does not preempt or otherwise prohibit the adoption of a local ordinance that imposes greater restrictions on the access to tobacco products than the restrictions imposed by Proposition 31; and
WHEREAS, approximately 480,000 people die in the United States from tobaccorelated diseases every year, making it the nation’s leading cause of preventable death; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City of Barstow’s police power, as granted under Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for public health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, pursuant to its police powers, the City has the authority to regulate the sale of tobacco products in the City; and
WHEREAS, in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare, the City Council desires to adopt an ordinance that will regulate tobaccoretailers and tobacco products.

11.a
Packet Pg. 160 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 2 of 14
to read as follows:
CHAPTER 5.55. TOBACCO RETAILER REGISTRATION ORDINANCE
Sec. 5.55.010. Title.
This chapter is known and may be cited as the “Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance” of the City of Barstow.
Sec. 5.55.020. Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the retail sale of tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco paraphernalia in the City so as to promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the city’s citizens. Nothing in this chapter shall preempt or make inapplicable any provision of state or federal law.
Sec. 5.55.030. Definitions.
The following words, terms, and phrases, whenever used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
“Arm's length transaction” means a sale in good faith and for valuable consideration that reflects the fair market value in the open market between two informed and willing parties, neither of which is under any compulsion to participate in the transaction. A sale between relatives, related companies or partners, or a sale for which a significant purpose is avoiding the effect of the violations of this chapter is not an arm's length transaction. "City manager” means the City Manager of Barstow or their designee. “Department” means community development department, and any other agency or person tasked by the city manager of the city with enforcement of this chapter. “Director” and “community development director” mean the community development director of the city and any other person tasked by the city manager of the city with enforcement of this chapter.
“Electronic cigarette” means any of the following products:
(1) Any device or delivery system that can be used to deliver nicotine or flavored or unflavored tobacco products in aerosolized or vaporized form, including, but not limited to, an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, vape pen, or e-hookah. (2) Any component, part, or accessory of such a device or delivery system that is used during its operation.
(3) Any flavored or unflavored liquid or substance containing nicotine, whether sold separately or sold in combination with any device or delivery system that could be used to deliver nicotine in aerosolized or vaporized form.
11.a
Packet Pg. 161 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 3 of 14
(4) Any product for use in an electronic nicotine device or delivery system whether or not it contains nicotine or tobacco or is derived from nicotine or tobacco. (5) “Electronic cigarette” does not include any battery, battery charger, carrying case, or other accessory not used in the operation of the device if sold separately. “Electronic cigarette” does not include any product that has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for sale as a tobacco cessation product or for other therapeutic purposes where that product is marketed and sold solely for such approved use. As used in this subsection, “nicotine” does not include any food products as that term is defined pursuant to Section 6359 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. “Flavored tobacco product” means any tobacco product that contains a constituent that imparts a characterizing flavor.
“Person” includes an individual, a corporation, limited liability company, government, governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership or association, and all other legal or commercial entities. “Proprietor” means a person with an ownership or managerial interest in a business. An ownership interest shall be deemed to exist when a person has a ten (10) percent or greater interest in the stock, assets, or income of a business other than the sole interest of security for debt. A managerial interest shall be deemed to exist when a person can or does have or shares ultimate control over the day-to-day operations of a business. “Self-service display” means the open display or storage of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia in a manner that is physically accessible in any way to the general public without the assistance of the retailer or employee of the retailer and a direct person-toperson transfer between the purchaser and the retailer or employee of the retailer. A vending machine is a form of self-service display.
“Smoking” means possessing a lighted tobacco product, lighted tobacco paraphernalia, or any other lighted weed or plant (including a lighted pipe, cigar, hookah pipe, or cigarette of any kind) and also means the lighting of a tobacco product, tobacco paraphernalia, or any other weed or plant (including a pipe, cigar, hookah pipe, or cigarette of any kind). “Tobacco paraphernalia” means cigarette papers or wrappers, pipes, holders of smoking materials of all types, cigarette rolling machines, and any other item designed for the smoking, preparation, storing, or consumption of tobacco products. “Tobacco paraphernalia” does not include lighters, matches, or ashtrays. “Tobacco product” means any substance containing tobacco leaf, including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, hookah tobacco, shisha tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco, snus, bidis, or any other preparation of tobacco; any electronic device that delivers nicotine or other substances to the person inhaling from the device, including, but not limited to, an electronic cigarette, electronic cigar, electronic pipe, or electronic hookah; and any product or formulation of matter containing biologically active amounts of nicotine that is manufactured, sold, offered for sale, or otherwise
11.a

“Tobacco retailer” means any person who sells, offers for sale, or does or offers to exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia. “Tobacco retailing” shall mean the doing of any of these things. This definition is without regard to the quantity of tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia sold, offered for sale, exchanged, or offered for exchange.

11.a
Packet Pg. 163 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 5 of 14
this provision shall constitute tobacco retailing without a registration under Section 5.55.130. This subsection does not prohibit an individual’s personal consumption of tobacco or tobacco products or personal use of tobacco paraphernalia in accordance with local, state, and federal laws; and (2) Shall not display any advertisement relating to tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia that promotes the sale or distribution of such products from the tobacco retailer's location or that could lead a reasonable consumer to believe that such products can be obtained at that location.

11.a
Packet Pg. 164 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 6 of 14
It is the responsibility of each proprietor to be informed of all laws applicable to tobacco retailing, including those laws affecting the issuance of a tobacco retailer's registration. No person may rely on the issuance of a registration as a determination by the city that the proprietor has complied with all laws applicable to tobacco retailing. A registration issued contrary to this chapter, contrary to any other law, or on the basis of false or misleading information supplied by a proprietor shall be revoked pursuant to Section 5.55.120(D) of this chapter. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to vest in any person obtaining and maintaining a tobacco retailer's registration any status or right to act as a tobacco retailer in contravention of any provision of law.
All applications shall be submitted on a form supplied by the Department and shall contain the following information:
(1) The name, address, and telephone number of each proprietor of the business seeking a registration.
(2) The business name, physical address, and telephone number of the single, fixed location for which a registration is sought.

(4) Proof that the location for which a tobacco retailer's registration is sought has been issued a valid state tobacco retailer's license by the California State Board of Equalization.

(6) Such other information as the Department deems necessary for the administration or enforcement of this chapter as specified on the application form required by this section.
(b) A registered tobacco retailer shall inform the Department in writing of any change in the information submitted on an application for a tobacco retailer's registration within ten (10) business days of a change.
(c) All information specified in an application pursuant to this section shall be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (California Government Code section 7920.000, et seq.) or any other applicable law, subject to the laws'
11.a

Sec. 5.55.070. Issuance of registration.
Upon the receipt of a complete application for a tobacco retailer's registration and any application fee set by a resolution of the city council, the Department shall issue a registration unless substantial evidence demonstrates that one or more of the following bases for denial exists:
(a) The information presented in the application is inaccurate, false, or misleading.
Intentionally supplying inaccurate, false, or misleading information shall be a violation of this chapter.
(b) The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing at a location for which this chapter prohibits issuance of tobacco retailer registrations. (c) The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing for a proprietor to whom this chapter prohibits a registration to be issued.
(d) The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing that is prohibited pursuant to this chapter (e.g., mobile vending)], that is unlawful pursuant to this code, or that is unlawful pursuant to any other law.
Sec. 5.55.080. Registration renewal and expiration.
(a) Renewal of Registration. A tobacco retailer's registration is invalid if its term has expired. The term of a tobacco retailer registration is one year. Each tobacco retailer shall apply for the renewal of his or her tobacco retailer's registration no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the term. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the application process set forth in Section 5.55.060 and the registration issuance process set forth in Section
5.55.070 apply to renewal registration applications.
(b) Expiration of Registration. A tobacco retailer's registration that is not timely renewed shall expire at the end of its term. To renew a registration not timely renewed pursuant to subparagraph A, the proprietor must:
(1) Submit the registration application renewal form and any associated renewal application fees; and

Packet Pg. 166 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 8 of 14
(i) Has not sold and will not sell any tobacco product or tobacco paraphernalia after the registration expiration date and before the registration is renewed; or

(1) The location has been fully transferred to a new proprietor or fully transferred to entirely new proprietors; and
(2) The new proprietor(s) provide the city with clear and convincing evidence that the new proprietor(s) have acquired or is acquiring the location in an arm's length transaction.
Sec. 5.55.100. Registration conveys a limited, conditional privilege.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to grant any person obtaining and maintaining a tobacco retailer's registration any status or right other than the limited conditional privilege to act as a tobacco retailer at the location in the city identified on the face of the registration. For example, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to render inapplicable, supersede, or apply in lieu of, any other provision of applicable law, including but not limited to, any provision of this code, including without limitation chapter 6.40 and title 19, and any condition or limitation on smoking in an enclosed place of employment pursuant to California Labor Code section 6404.5. For example, obtaining a tobacco retailer registration does not make the retailer a "retail or wholesale tobacco shop" for the purposes of California Labor Code section 6404.5.
Sec. 5.55.110. Compliance monitoring.
(a) Compliance with this chapter shall be monitored by the Department. In addition, any peace officer may enforce the penal provisions of this chapter. The city may designate any number of additional persons to monitor compliance with this chapter.
(b) Compliance checks shall be conducted so as to allow the Department to determine, at a minimum, if a tobacco retailer is complying with laws regulating youth access to tobacco. When the Department deems appropriate, the
11.a
Packet Pg. 167 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 9 of 14
compliance checks shall determine compliance with other laws applicable to tobacco retailing.
(c) The city shall not enforce any law establishing a minimum age for tobacco purchases or possession against a person who otherwise might be in violation of such law because of the person's age (hereinafter "Youth Decoy") if the potential violation occurs when:
(a) The youth decoy is participating in a compliance check supervised by a peace officer or a code enforcement official of the city;
(b) The youth decoy is acting as an agent of a person designated by the city to monitor compliance with this chapter; or
(c) The youth decoy is participating in a compliance check funded in part, either directly or indirectly through subcontracting, by the city or the California Department of Health Care Services.
Sec. 5.55.120. Revocation of registration.
(a) Revocation of Registration for Violation.
(1) All registrations issued hereunder, shall operate in compliance with Chapter
5.55, this Code, and all the laws of the state and of the United States of America relating to tobacco retailing. Upon failure to comply, any and all registrations issued hereunder may be revoked by the city manager, subject to the provisions of subsection (a)(2) of this section.
Any license obtained by fraud or misrepresentation will automatically be null and void, with forfeiture of any and all monies paid to the city for the registration.
(2) Any registration issued for a tobacco retailer may be revoked by the city manager at any time for:
a. operating in a manner adverse to the public health, welfare and safety; or
b. conducting retail sales in a manner adverse to the public health, welfare and safety; or
c. operating in violation of this chapter, this Code, or state or federal law. (3) Prior to any revocation of a registration, the city manager shall, by their order, give the retailer 15-days’ notice of intent to revoke such registration. Within 15 days after any such order, the licensee may request to appeal and show cause before the city council why such license should not be revoked. Such hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular council meeting, or with five or more days’ notice to appellant at a special council meeting. Upon the failure of the retailer to appear at such meeting, or, if after appearance and hearing
11.a
Packet Pg. 168 Attachment: Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and Master Fees Amendment1 (5930 : Tobacco Retailer Registration Ordinance and 367959.4 Page 10 of 14
before the council, the council shall find good and sufficient cause for revocation, the registration shall be revoked.

(ii.) Affirm the revocation; or
(iii.) Modify the revocation based upon evidence adduced at the hearing on the appeal.
(5) The decision by the city council shall be the final decision of the city and not subject to further administrative appeal. The decision of the city council shall be served on the appellant and shall be subject to judicial review in the manner specified in Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5. The timely filing and diligent prosecution of an appeal to the city council is an administrative remedy which must be exhausted before judicial review may be sought. An appeal to the city council is not available for a revocation made pursuant to subsection C. below for registrations wrongly issued.
(6) Upon any revocation of a registration, no refund of any registration fee shall be made and the fee shall be forfeited to the city.
(7) No tobacco retailing shall be conducted or operated in any manner at that location during any period of registration revocation.
(b) New Registration at a Location After Revocation.
(1) After revocation for a first violation of this chapter at a location, no new registration may be issued for that location until three (3) months have passed from the date of revocation.
(2) After revocation for a second violation of this chapter at a location within any sixty-month period, no new registration may be issued for that location until six (6) months have passed from the date of second revocation. (3) After revocation for a third violation of this chapter at a location within any sixty-month period, no new registration may be issued for that location until one (1) year has passed from the date of third revocation.

location until five (5) years have passed from the date of fourth or subsequent revocation.
(c) Revocation of Registration Wrongly Issued. A tobacco retailer's registration shall be revoked if the Department finds, after the registered tobacco retailer is afforded notice and an opportunity to be heard, that one (1) or more of the bases for denial of a registration under Section 5.55.070 existed at the time application was made or at any time before the registration issued. The decision by the Department shall be the final decision of the city and not subject to administrative appeal. Such a revocation shall be without prejudice to the filing of a new registration application.
(d) Notice of Revocation. Upon a final determination by the city to revoke a tobacco retailer's registration under this chapter, the tobacco retailer shall prominently display notice of the revocation in a form specified by the city manager at the previously registered location of tobacco sales for the length of time the registration is revoked. A final determination by the city to revoke a tobacco retailer’s registration occurs when:
(1) A tobacco retailer fails to timely appeal a revocation as provided in Section
5.55.120.C; or
(2) The city makes a revocation determination under Section 5.55.120.D. that is not subject to appeal.

The development agreements and Barstow Municipal Code chapter 19.27 require that Operators obtain a cannabis business permit and pay a cannabis permit application fee prior to operating a cannabis business within the City. Operators must annually renew their permits and pay the permit renewal fee established through City Council resolution to the City. Under the City’s Resolution No. 5096-2022, the permit renewal application fee for permits renewed in fiscal year 2023 is $14,107.85. Under the City’s Resolution No. 5169-2024, the permit renewal application fee for permits renewed in fiscal year 2024 is $14,107.85.

RESOLUTION NO. XXXXX-2025
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW,
CALIFORNIA APPROVING THE TERMINATION OF THE COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND ALL
ADDENDA THERETO PREVIOUSLY ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE
CITY OF BARSTOW AND WINNERS CIRCLE HD, LLC
WHEREAS, the City of Barstow (the “City”) entered into a Commercial Cannabis Business Development Agreement (“Development Agreement”) with [Operator] (“Operator”) on [date] concerning the property located at 2588 Mercantile Way Building 18B (APN 0428-211-26- 0000); and
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement required Operator to comply with all provisions of Barstow Municipal Code Chapter 19.27, et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement and Barstow Municipal Code Chapter 19.27 required Operator to obtain a cannabis business permit and pay a cannabis permit application fee prior to operating a cannabis business within the City; and WHEREAS, the Development Agreement and Barstow Municipal Code Chapter 19.27 required Operator to annually renew its permit and pay the permit renewal fee established by City Council resolution; and
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 5096-2022 set the cannabis renewal application fee for permits renewed in fiscal year 2023 at $14,107.85; and WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 5169-2024 set the cannabis renewal application fee for permits renewed in fiscal year 2024 at $14,107.85; and WHEREAS, Operator breached the Development Agreement by failing to pay the required permit renewal fee to the City for fiscal year(s) 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 as required by the Development Agreement and Barstow Municipal Code Chapter 19.27; and WHEREAS, the Development Agreement allows the City to terminate the Development Agreement after providing Operator with written notice specifying the nature of the breach, specifying the manner in which Operator could cure the breach, and providing the Operator at least 30 days to cure the breach, if Operator fails to cure the breach; and WHEREAS, Barstow Municipal Code Section 19.46.080 requires the City to give notice to the Developer of its intention to terminate a Development Agreement; and WHEREAS, the City served Operator with a notice of default with right to cure on January 21, 2025 that provided Operator 35 days to cure the breach in compliance with the development agreement and Barstow Municipal Code Section 19.46.080; and WHEREAS, Operator failed to cure the breach(es) and is in default of the Development Agreement; and
14.c
Packet Pg. 301 Attachment: Attachment 3 - Reso Terminating DA - Winners Circle (5914 : Consideration of Development Agreement Terminations for 390572.1
WHEREAS, the City has the right to terminate the Development Agreement due to Operator’s breach(es) of the Development Agreement and Barstow Municipal Code Chapter 19.27 and Operator’s failure to timely cure said breach(es); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines to implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), there is no possibility the proposed cancellation will have a significant effect upon the environment and, therefore, it is exempt from CEQA; and WHEREAS, on March 17, 2025, the City Council conducted a duly noticed and advertised public hearing on the Development Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this resolution.
SECTION 2. The City Council so finds and determines that the termination and cancellation of this Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan; complies with the other standards and criteria required in Chapter 19.46 of the Barstow Municipal Code, is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the property is located; is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practices; will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare; and will not adversely affect the orderly development of the property. Termination and cancellation of the Development Agreement will stop Operator’s unpaid fees owed to the City from continuing to accumulate and enable another cannabis business to operate at the property in compliance with all development agreement and city code requirements. The City Council finds that Operator’s substantial default has been ongoing for a long period of time and the Development Agreement should be terminated.
SECTION 3. Based upon the above findings and determinations, the City Council by adoption of this Resolution does hereby terminate and cancel said Development Agreement, which was originally approved by Ordinance No. 1012-2022, adopted on January 17, 2023 concerning the property located at 2588 Mercantile Way, Building 18B, APN 0428-211-26-000.
SECTION 4. The respective officers and staff of the City are hereby authorized and directed, jointly and severally, to do any and all things which they may deem necessary or advisable to effectuate this Resolution, including, without limitation, sending a copy of this Resolution to Operator and the owner of the premises identified in the Development Agreement and preparing and recording a Termination of Development Agreement against the property.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this ____ day of ______, 2025, by the following vote:

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this resolution.

Subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, failure to delay by either party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement beyond a reasonable notice and cure period shall constitute a default. In the event of alleged default or breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the party alleging such default or breach shall give the other party not less than thirty (30) day notice in writing specifying the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may be satisfactorily cured during any such thirty (30) day period, the party charged shall not be considered in default for purposes of termination or institution of legal proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the alleged default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the alleged defaulting party shall not be deemed in default as long as such party commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
After notice and expiration of the thirty (30) day period without a cure of such default, the other party to this Agreement, at its option, may terminate the Agreement or institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement.
In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that City shall not be liable in monetary damages, to Operator, to any mortgagee or lender, or to any successors in interest of Operator or mortgagee or lender, or to any other person, and Operator

Packet Pg. 390 Attachment: Attachment 7 - DA - LA 2 Vegas (5914 : Consideration of Development Agreement Terminations for Commercial Cannabis - 22 - Development Agreement – LA 2 Vegas, Inc

covenants on behalf of itself and all successors in interest to the Premises or any portion thereof, not to sue for damages or claim any damages.
1) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
2) For the impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under, with, or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any impairment or restriction which Operator characterizes as a regulatory taking or inverse condemnation; or
3) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
b. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law are inadequate, and specific performance and other non- monetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
1) Money damages are unavailable against City as provided in Section 15(a) above.
2) Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Premises to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Operator may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to use the Premises or portions thereof. Operator has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Operator for its efforts. By the same token, in the event that City issues any permit or other approval for a structure, and the public facilities, improvements, and infrastructure reasonably necessary to provide an adequate level of public services to that structure are not timely completed or Operator otherwise fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, then it would not be possible to determine a sum of money that would adequately compensate City for the resulting hardship.
For the above reasons, City and Operator and agree that, notwithstanding any other language in this Agreement, damages would not be an adequate or appropriate remedy if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance of this Agreement is the only remedy which would compensate Operator if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, and City hereby agrees that Operator shall be entitled to specific performance in the event of a default by City hereunder. Further, specific performance of this Agreement is the only remedy which would compensate City if Operator fails to

Except for those remedies set forth in Sections 15(a), 15(b), and this 15(c), Operator, for itself, its successors and assignees, hereby releases City, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, based or asserted, pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
Operator acknowledges that it may have suffered, or may suffer, damages and other injuries that are unknown to it, or unknowable to it, at the time of its execution of this Agreement. Such fact notwithstanding, Operator agrees that the release provided in this Section 14(c) shall apply to such unknown or unknowable claims and damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operator acknowledges the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provide:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
Operator hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and all other statutes and judicial decisions of similar effect. d. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action or proceeding between City and Operator brought to interpret or enforce this Agreement, or which in any way arises out of the existence of this Agreement or is based upon any term or provision contained herein, the “prevailing party” in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, in addition to all other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, in an amount to be determined by the court. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032. Fees and costs recoverable pursuant to this Section 14(e) include those incurred during any appeal from an underlying judgment and in the enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.
e. Default. No building permit shall be issued or building permit application accepted for Operator for any structure on the Premises after Operator is determined by City to be in default of the terms and conditions of this Agreement until such default thereafter is cured such defaulting party or is waived by City. If City terminates this Agreement as to any Operator because of such Operator’s default, then City shall retain any and all benefits, including money or land received by City hereunder.

b. Waiver. Waiver by City of any one or more of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as waiver of any other term or condition under this Agreement.
c. Enforcement/Reserved Powers. Unless amended or canceled pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall be enforceable by any party hereto, or successor in interest thereto, notwithstanding any subsequent change in any applicable general or specific plan, zoning, subdivision or building regulation, or municipal code amendment adopted by City that conflicts with the terms of this Agreement. However, this Agreement is subject to the City's “Reserved Powers.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Reserved Powers” means the rights and authority excepted from this Agreement's restrictions on the City's police powers and which are instead reserved to the City. The Reserved Powers include the powers to enact regulations or take future discretionary actions after the Effective Date of this Agreement that: (1) are necessary to protect the public health and safety, and are generally applicable on a City-wide basis (except in the event of natural disasters as found by the City Council such as floods, earthquakes and similar acts of God); (2) are amendments to California Cannabis Laws or California Uniform Codes, as adopted by the City of Barstow, and/or the Barstow Municipal Code, as applicable, regarding the construction, engineering and design standards for private and public improvements to be constructed on the Premises; (3) are necessary to comply with state or federal laws and regulations; or (4) involve sign and parking ordinances and guidelines, changes to the City’s zoning laws, Specific Plan or the City's General Plan, whether adopted previous or subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement).
If any City ordinance, rule or regulation or addition to the Barstow Municipal Code is enacted or imposed by a citizen-sponsored initiative or referendum after the Effective Date that would conflict with this Agreement or an associated Commercial Cannabis Permit, business license or other authorizations and City approvals, or reduce development rights or assurances provided to the Operator in this Agreement, then such changes, additions or deletions to the Barstow Municipal Code shall not be applied to the Premises or Project; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that the City's approval of this Agreement is a legislative action subject to referendum. The parties shall cooperate with each other and undertake such reasonable actions as may be appropriate to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect and is implemented in accordance with its terms and to the fullest extent permitted by state or federal law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, site improvements contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed pursuant to the development standards and design guidelines applicable at the time of development. e. Joint and Several Liability. Operator shall be jointly and severally liable for any amount due under this Agreement, and any breach of this Agreement or failure to pay by one Party shall also constitute a breach of this Agreement by the other Party. f. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to conflict with applicable state laws or regulations, such part shall be inoperative, null, and void insofar

Packet Pg. 398 Attachment: Attachment 7 - DA - LA 2 Vegas (5914 : Consideration of Development Agreement Terminations for Commercial Cannabis - 30 - Development Agreement – LA 2 Vegas, Inc

as it conflicts with said laws or regulations or modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state laws or regulations, but the remainder of this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect.
g. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be by actual, facsimile, or electronic signature.
h. Jurisdiction. The law governing this Agreement shall be that of the State of California. Any suit brought by any party against any other party arising out of the performance of this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be filed and maintained in the County of San Bernardino Superior Court.

Despite California Cannabis Laws and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any CUP, or any CCP issued pertaining to Operator, or the Premises, California commercial cannabis cultivators, transporters, distributors, or possessors may still be subject to arrest by state or federal officers and prosecuted under state or federal law. The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC § 801, et seq., prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession of cannabis without any exemptions for medical use.
j. Force Majeure. If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of Operator, such delays will entitle Operator to an extension of time as provided in this section. Such unforeseen events (“Force Majeure”) shall mean war, insurrection, acts of God, local, state or national emergencies, strikes and other labor difficulties beyond the party’s control, or any default by City hereunder, which Force Majeure event substantially interferes with the development, construction or operation of the Project. k.

Every person who after the Effective Date and recording of this Agreement owns or acquires any right, title, or interest to any portion of the Premises, is and shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every provision contained herein, whether or not any reference to this Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired an interest in the Premises, and all rights and interests of such person in the Premises shall be subject to the terms, requirements, and provisions of this Agreement.
l. Binding Effect of Agreement. The Parties agree that the Recitals above are true and correct and intend to be bound by same. Except as otherwise provided, the burdens of this Agreement are binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement inure to, all authorized successors-in-interest of the Parties and constitute covenants which run with the Premises.

m. Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the development of the Project is a private development, that neither party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that each party is an independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement. No partnership, joint venture or other association of any kind is formed by this Agreement. The only relationship between the City and Operator is that of a government entity regulating the development of private property and developer of such property.
n. Changes to Project. The Parties acknowledge that changes to the Project or Development Plans and related approvals may be appropriate and mutually desirable to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not prevent the City from applying, with the consent or at the request of Operator, Subsequent Land Use Regulations or Subsequent Development Approvals that do not directly conflict with the Project, Premises or Development Plan authorized under this Agreement. The granting of one such change, or request shall not obligate the City to grant other similar changes or requests. As used herein, “Subsequent Development Approvals” include, without limitation, all excavation, grading, building, construction, demolition, encroachment or street improvement permits, occupancy certificates, utility connection authorizations, or other non-discretionary permits or approvals necessary, convenient or appropriate for the Project.

o. Conflicting Federal or State Rules. In the event that any conflicting federal or state laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date, prevent, or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or require changes in plans, maps or permits approved by the City, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to those provisions not affected; and
(i) Notice of Conflict. Either party, upon learning of any such matter, will provide the other party with written notice thereof and provide a copy of any such law, regulation, or policy together with a statement of how any such matter conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement; and
(ii) Modification Conferences. The parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the notice referenced to in the preceding subsection, meet and confer in good faith and attempt to modify this Agreement to bring it into compliance with any such federal or state law or regulation.

(iii) City Council Hearings. In the event the City believes that an amendment to this Agreement is necessary due to the effect of any federal or state law or regulation, the proposed amendment shall be scheduled for hearing before the City Council. The City Council shall determine the exact nature of the amendment necessitated by such federal or state law or regulation. Operator shall have the right to offer oral and written testimony at the hearing. Any modification ordered by the City Council pursuant to such hearing is subject to judicial review in accordance with California law. (iv) Minor Amendments. A minor modification is a modification that does not modify the material terms of this Agreement including (1) the Term; (2) Facility Operations; (3) Indemnification; and (4) Fees. Minor Modifications shall not require a public hearing prior to execution of the modification to this Agreement. Either Party may propose a minor modification, consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the other Party.
Upon the written request of Developer for a modification to this Agreement, the City Manager or his/her designee shall determine: (1) whether, in his/her reasonable judgment, the requested modification constitutes a minor modification as defined herein; (2) whether the requested modification is consistent with applicable law (other than that portion of this Agreement sought to be modified); and (3) whether, in his/her reasonable judgment, the requested modification tends to promote the goals of this Agreement. If the City Manager or his/her designee determines that the requested modification is minor modification that is consistent with applicable law and tends to promote the goals of this Agreement, the proposed modification will be approved by the City as a minor modification, and a written modification will be executed by the Parties and attached to this Agreement. Any such minor modification shall not be deemed an “amendment” to this Agreement under Government Code Section 65858.
(v) City Cooperation. The City shall cooperate with Operator in securing any City permits, licenses or other authorizations that may be required as a result of any amendment resulting from actions initiated by the City. As required by this Agreement, Operator shall be responsible to pay all applicable fees in connection with securing of such permits, licenses, or other authorizations.
q. Effective Date. “Effective Date” means the date on which all of the following are true: (i) thirty (30) days have elapsed since the second reading of the Ordinance adopting and approving this Development Agreement and (ii) all Exhibits to this Agreement are finalized, executed and notarized by all affected parties (if applicable) and attached hereto; provided, however, that if these conditions have not been fully satisfied by Operator the Effective Date may not thereafter occur and this Agreement may not thereafter become effective.

In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that City shall not be liable in monetary damages, to Operator, to any mortgagee or lender, or to any successors in interest of Operator or mortgagee or lender, or to any other person, and Operator covenants on behalf of itself and all successors in interest to the Premises or any portion thereof, not to sue for damages or claim any damages.
1) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
2) For the impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under, with, or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any impairment or restriction which Operator characterizes as a regulatory taking or inverse condemnation; or
3) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
b. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law are inadequate, and specific performance and other non- monetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
1) Money damages are unavailable against City as provided in Section 15(a) above.
2) Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Premises to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Operator may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to use the Premises or portions thereof. Operator has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Operator for its efforts. By the same token, in the event that City issues any permit or other approval for a structure, and the public facilities, improvements, and infrastructure reasonably necessary to provide an adequate level of public services to that structure are not timely completed or Operator otherwise fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, then it would not be possible to determine a sum of money that would adequately compensate City for the resulting hardship.
For the above reasons, City and Operator and agree that, notwithstanding any other language in this Agreement, damages would not be an adequate or appropriate remedy if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance of this Agreement is the only remedy which would

compensate Operator if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, and City hereby agrees that Operator shall be entitled to specific performance in the event of a default by City hereunder. Further, specific performance of this Agreement is the only remedy which would compensate City if Operator fails to carry out their obligations under this Agreement, and Operator hereby agree that City shall be entitled to specific performance in such event. c. Release. Except for those remedies set forth in Sections 15(a), 15(b), and this 15(c), Operator, for itself, its successors and assignees, hereby releases City, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, based or asserted, pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
Operator acknowledges that it may have suffered, or may suffer, damages and other injuries that are unknown to it, or unknowable to it, at the time of its execution of this Agreement. Such fact notwithstanding, Operator agrees that the release provided in this Section 14(c) shall apply to such unknown or unknowable claims and damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operator acknowledges the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provide:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
Operator hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and all other statutes and judicial decisions of similar effect. d. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action or proceeding between City and Operator brought to interpret or enforce this Agreement, or which in any way arises out of the existence of this Agreement or is based upon any term or provision contained herein, the “prevailing party” in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, in addition to all other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, in an amount to be determined by the court. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032. Fees and costs recoverable pursuant to this Section 14(e) include those incurred during any appeal from an underlying judgment and in the enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.
e. Default. No building permit shall be issued or building permit application accepted for Operator for any structure on the Premises after Operator is determined by City to be in default of the terms and conditions of this Agreement until such default
