1 Eff.: 07/28/2023 ORDINANCE NO. 23-3,997
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURBANK AMENDING TITLE 3 (BUSINESSES AND
LICENSES) CHAPTER 4 (BUSINESS AND OCCUPATIONS)
OF THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE AND CREATING
NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR FIREARMS AND
AMMUNITION RETAIL BUSINESS ES THAT REQUIRE A
LOCAL BUSINESS LICENSE
City Attorney’s Synopsis
This ordinance implements amendments to Title 3 , Chapter 4 of the Burbank Municipal Code to codify existing procedures, add common sense licensing requirements, and establish a robust, local program for licensing and regulating the sale, lease, or transfer of firearms or ammunition in the City.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS, DETERMINES, AND DECLARES THAT:
A. Title 3, Chapter 4 of the Burbank Municipal Code establishes regulations for the issuance and regulations of Business Licenses; and
B. Title 3, Chapter 4, Article 1 provides that all firearm retailers shall have a license; and
B. The City of Burbank is an urban, densely populated city, with a population of approximately 105,861 residents living in approximately 17 square miles; and
C. The Burbank City Council, like government at all levels, has a substantial interest in protecting the community from those persons who acquire guns lawfully or illegally and then use them to commit crimes resulting in injury or death of their victims or who use them in the commission of other coercive crimes such as robbery, sexual assault or homicide, including recent mass shooting events in Dadeville, Alabama, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Monterey Park, California, Allen, Texas, and at a college campus in Michigan, as well as the many other mass homicides over the past several years; and
D. Fourteen retail establishments that sell or rent ammunition and firearms currently exist throughout the City; and
E. Firearm retail is not a designated use in the Burbank Municipal Code but is broadly governed by licensing and retail use provisions . The current regulations do not reflect existing special licensing requirements for firearm retail and have the potential to result in new gun or ammunition retail stores that can displace other neighborhood-serving retail and service commercial uses from tenant spaces and therefore create a threat to critical commercial corridors and the City’s effort to preserve aesthetically inviting storefronts and pedestrian-friendly retail, restaurants, and offices in such spaces; and
ATTACHMENT 7 - 1
23-3,997
2 F. On July 26, 2022, the City Council considered a potential menu of options to encourage firearm safety and ensure thriving commercial corridors such as land use regulations for firearm retail, advocacy on gun safety, a gun buyback program, and regulations pertaining to retail ammunition or firearms establishments and heard public comment, which included oral and written comments that expressed concerns about the volume of firearm retail; their locations throughout the community in high traffic commercial corridors and near schools; the overall absence of local inspections or safety regulations pertaining to retail ammunition or firearms establishments; the effect of firearms and ammunition on public safety; and the security of such establishments; and G
. The same date, Council adopted an urgency ordinance im plementing a moratorium on firearm retail while staff explore land use regulations , including potential need for a conditional use permit; the urgency ordinance has been extended until July 23, 2023; and
H
. On March 28, 2023, the City Council discussed potentially increasing the licensing requirements for firearm retailers, including an inspection by the Burbank Police Department that would apply to all existing and any new retail firearms or ammunition establishments; and
I
. The California Penal Code requires local jurisdictions to accept firearms dealer licenses and emphasizes the authority of cities and counties to regulate firearms dealers; and
J.
The City maintains an existing process for business license review of firearm retail by the Community Development Department and the Police Department, which is uncodified; and
K. F
ederal Firearm Licensees are required by federal law to comply with all state and local dealer laws as a condition for retaining their federal licenses; and L. W
hile California is among a minority of states that impose licensing requirements on firearms dealers, the standards are a minimum threshold; and M
. The International Association of Chiefs of Police recommends that local governments impose their own licensing or permitting requirements on firearms dealers because local requirements can respond to specific community concerns; and N. Ca
lifornia law explicitly allows local jurisdictions to impose security requirements on firearms dealers that are stricter or at a higher standard than those imposed by state law; and
O. I
n October 2016, the Giffords Law Center conducted an audit of 155 California cities, towns, and counties, and determined that 80 cities and 17 counties require firearms dealers to obtain a license or permit, and 29 cities and four counties require firearms dealers to obtain liability insurance; and ATTACHMENT 7 - 1
23-3,997
3 P. Generally, firearm retail locations are a high-value target for criminals, and have often been magnets for break-ins, theft, and destruction of property; and
Q. Under existing law, firearms dealers are subject to potential liability if they negligently supply a firearm to a person who is likely to and does use the firearm in a manner involving unreasonable risk of physical injury - such as a sale to an intoxicated person or a minor. Firearms dealers may also be subject to potential liability for conduct that causes harm if the conduct violates an applicable state or federal law. Further, firearms dealers may be subject to potential liability if patrons are injured on their premises, or for other conduct creating premises liability or property owner liability; and
R. Injuries and deaths from firearms, as well as from other accidents that may occur on a business' property, can devastate individuals and burden social safety nets.
Liability insurance reduces these harms by providing necessary compensation to individuals who may be injured by the actions of a gun dealer; and
S. New State laws require licensed gun dealers to do the following: (1) by July 1, 2023, carry a general liability insurance policy with coverage for at least $1 million per incident; and (2) by January 1, 2024, install and maintain a fixed digital video surveillance system on their business premises, maintain these video records for at least one year, annually certify to the Department of Justice that the video surveillance system is in proper working order, and post conspicuous signs at each entrance to the dealer’s premises notifying patrons that the premises are under video and audio surveillance; and
T. On June 6, 2023, the Council at its regular meeting, held a public hearing on Project No. 23-0002300, a Burbank Municipal Code Amendment.
U. The Council considered the report and recommendations of the Community Development Department and the evidence presented at such hearing.
V. Based on the foregoing, the City Council finds it is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the community to reasonably regulate firearms and ammunition retail sales locally.
