MEETING DATE: April 28, 2025

CONTACT: Julian Aguirre, Economic Development Manager
[email protected], (209) 538-5773
SUBJECT: Report on International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Annual Conference
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Information only, no action required.

I. BACKGROUND:

The International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) hosts an annual conference in Monterey, California to bring together “dealmakers and industry experts, who are driving innovation and evolution in the marketplaces industry.” This 2-day event is designed for networking between local and state governments , real estate brokers, retail business representatives, and commercial developers. The conference in 2025 was held March 24 through M arch 2 26. The City of Ceres was represented by Julian Aguirre (Economic Development Manager).

Many cities throughout the state attend this event to promote their community and attract businesses. The list of attendees includes city staff and economic development managers as well as property owners looking to develop. Some cities go as far as reserving booth space at the conference to create a designated location for development meetings and networking to occur. By including a variety of city team members, a city can showcase their positive and collaborative approach to development.

When r eporting on the activities and outcomes of the networking efforts from the conference, it is advisable to maintain privacy for specific business names and locations to protect their competitive advantage. Best practice is to inform the public about an upcoming development once an application is submitted and a public meeting is scheduled, such as at Planning Commission or City Council.

While staff will adhere to these best practices to maintain business privacy, staff can share the following list showing the types of retail that was explored for potential development:

ITEM 5a
Here's a potential list of retail types that were explored:

1. Grocery Stores: Potential for large and specialty grocery stores to serve the growing community needs.

2. Dining and Fast Casual Restaurants: Opportunities for new dining options, including sit-down and fast-casual restaurants, which are in high demand in many regions.

3. Retail Stores: Various types of retail spaces, including both large chain and local boutiques, to enhance shopping diversity.

4. Health and Wellness Centers: Development of fitness centers, wellness spas, or other health-related facilities to cater to the wellness trend.

5. Entertainment Venues: Development of entertainment options like cinemas, arcades, or other family-friendly venues to improve community engagement and activity.

6. Mixed-Use Developments: Combining retail, residential, and office spaces into multi-use properties to promote live-work-play environments.

7. Technology-Driven Retail: Opportunities for businesses related to tech, such as electronic stores, gaming shops, or pop-up shops utilizing new technologies.

8. Home Improvement and Furnishings: Home goods, furniture stores, and improvement outlets as part of community development efforts.

9. Automotive and Service Businesses: Services related to automotive, such as repair shops, auto parts, or car dealerships, designed to meet the community's practical needs.

10. Green and Sustainable Development: Businesses focused on environmentally conscious retail, such as eco-friendly products, sustainable brands, and green building technologies.

ITEM 5a

ITEM 5a
ITEM 5a
A major success coming from ICSC 2025 was from a meeting with a company representing multiple fast-food & restaurants and engaging with an investor who is looking at a potential retail site in Ceres. More information will be forthcoming as staff continues to have discussions with this developer and an application is submitted.

Another promising prospect includes ongoing conversations with a broker for long -term development of a big box retail center. Certain infrastructure is necessary as a precursor to this development, and the city will continue preparing for this opportunity.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

CITY COUNCIL
Javier Lopez, Mayor
James Casey, Dist.1
Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3
Daniel A. Martinez, Dist. 4
MEETING DATE: April 28, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas D. Dunford, City Manager
CONTACT: Trenton Johnson, Interim Chief of Police
[email protected], (209) 538-5743
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Authorizing the City Manager to Accept Donated Funds to be Used for the Purchase and Buildout of a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe for the Police K9 Unit
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept donated funds to be used for the purchase and outfitting of a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe for the Police K9 Unit.

I. BACKGROUND:

The Ceres Police Department is comprised of four Handler/Canine teams who are highly trained in patrol, drug, tracking and officer/citizen protection.

The Ceres Police K9 Association was approached by the Corson Foundation for Canine Specialization, Inc. with the offer to donate funding to fully purchase and outfit a new K9 Vehicle. The Corson Foundation for Canine Specialization, Inc. is a private foundation in Modesto, CA, which was founded in 2019 for the purpose of supporting the K9 Units of local law enforcement agencies with donated funds to be used for training, purchase of K9s or needed equipment.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The Police K9 Unit is in the need of an additional vehicle that can be used by one of the Handler/K9 teams for various operations. Our budget is such that purchasing an additional vehicle is not currently feasible. Therefore, accepting this donation will allow the department to have the vehicle it needs, with no financial outlay.

Staff has identified a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe at Winner Chevrolet in Sacramento, as the vehicle they wish to purchase. Staff has also identified NextGen Alpha Upfitting in Sacramento as the business to buildout the vehicle. Their price quote includes the installation of the LPRs and Radio.

ITEM 6
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

There are no initial fiscal impacts as the foundation will be donating the entire sum needed to purchase and outfit the Chevrolet Tahoe as noted below:

Purchase cost of 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe $ 66,980.90 Purchase cost of LPRs $ 18,259.80
Purchase cost for Radio $ 7,722.27
Cost for Vehicle Build-Out $ 40,062.18
Total Donation $133,025.15
Fleet estimates the annual maintenance costs will be approximately $3,000.00. Fleet will include this in their annual budget for the Police Department.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approval of this Agreement aligns with the City’s Strategic Plan to “provide quality services to meet community needs, assuring that the City has helpful, well trained, properly equipped and sufficient staff who partners with other public agencies to provide efficient services.”
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

N/A
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Staff coordinated with Fleet for the purchase price of the vehicle.

VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

N/A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

N/A
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

Following Council approval, Staff will take possession of the check from Corson Foundation and route the check to Finance for deposit in the appropriate account. Staff will then coordinate with Fleet to purchase the identified vehicle and with NextGen Alpha Upfitting for the completion of the vehicle build-out.

FBI-CJIS SECURITY POLICY – CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION CJIS Security Policy Compliance
Motorola does not believe our LPR and License Plate Recognition Technology offerings require compliance with the FBI-CJIS Security Policy (CJISSECPOL) based on the definition in Section 4 of CJISSECPOL and how the FBI-CJIS defines Criminal Justice Information. However, Motorola does design its products with the CJISSECPOL security controls as a guide. Motorola’s LPR system design and features support best practice security controls and policy compliance. In the event of a CJIS technical audit request, Motorola will support the Customer throughout this process.

Personnel Security – Background Screening
Motorola will assist the Customer with completing the CJIS Security Policy Section 5.12 Personnel Security related to authorized personnel background screening when requested to do so by the Customer. Based on Section 5.12, a Motorola employee is defined as someone who is required to be on the Customer’s property with unescorted access. Motorola employees will also have access to the Customer’s network(s) and stored information. Motorola has remote access tools to support virtual escorted access to on -premises customer assets.

Additionally, Motorola performs independent criminal background investigations including name based background checks, credential and educational vetting, credit checks, U.S. citizen and authorized worker identity verification on its employees.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

CITY COUNCIL
Javier Lopez, Mayor
James Casey, Dist.1
Rosalinda L. Vierra, Dist. 2
Cerina Otero, Dist. 3
Daniel A. Martinez, Dist. 4
MEETING DATE: April 28, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas D. Dunford, City Manager
CONTACT: Fallon Martin, City Clerk
[email protected], (209) 538-5731
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Adopting the Amended City Council Rules and Procedures Handbook Dated April 2025 , to A dd the Pledge of Allegiance Procedure and Amend the Committee Appointment Process and Include Language Regarding
Certificates
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends Council adopt the amended City Council Rules and Procedures handbook dated April 2025 , to a dd the pledge of allegiance procedure and amend the committee appointment process and include language regarding certificates.

I. BACKGROUND:

At the March 10, 2025, City Council meeting, consensus was given for staff to create a program for students to lead the pledge of allegiance during Regular City Council meetings.

Staff has met with the Ceres Unified School District (CUSD) and they have agreed to help facilitate having a student attend each Regular City Council meeting, while school is in session, to attend and lead the pledge of allegiance. When school is not in session, a member of the City Council will lead the pledge of allegiance. The edits incorporating this language can be found on page 10 of Attachment B.

At the City Council meeting held on March 24, 2025, Council expressed their desire to have the option to hold Boards, Commissions, and Committee interviews in an open City Council meeting. Staff researched various ways of conducting interviews in an open City Council meeting and laid out the process on page 29 of Attachment B.

The proposed process allows for the City Council to choose between conducting the interviews in an open meeting or creating a sub -committee, consisting of the Mayor and a Councilmember, to conduct interviews.

ITEM 7
In addition to the above-mentioned amendments to the City Council Rules and Procedures handbook, staff also incorporated a timeline of when certificates need to be requested. Currently there is a timeline for proclamations, which is helpful for staff to plan accordingly. It would be equally helpful for there to be a timeline of when certificates need to be requested by. This will allow staff the appropriate time to gather all necessary information to prepare requested certificates. The edits for this can be found on page 16 of Attachment B.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Proposed edits to the City Council Rules and Procedures handbook related to:
- the pledge of allegiance is a result of a councilmember referral on March 10, 2025
- the interview process for Boards, Commissions, and Committees is a result of a City Council discussion that occurred on March 24, 2025, regarding the formation of a sub -committee for Measure H interviews to fill three upcoming vacancies
- certificate requests are a result of staff needing adequate time to properly prepare certificates

CHAPTER I

GENERAL, POWERS and DUTIES

A. Legislative Body:

The governing legislative body of the City of Ceres is a City Council consisting of a Mayor and four Councilmembers. The mayor is elected by the qualified voters of the City at large.

Starting with the November 2017, the four Councilmembers will be elected by Districts.

Pursuant to the requirements of SB 415, the City Council moved to even year elections starting in November 2018. When reference to all the members of the City Council, inclusive of the Mayor and Councilmembers, is intended, use of the term “City Council” is an appropriate substitute for the term “Mayor and Councilmembers.”

B. City Council Basic Power:

All powers of the City are and shall be vested in the City Council, subject to the provisions of the Ceres Municipal Code and to the Constitution and statutes of the State of California.

C. City Council:

1. Elected Mayor:

The Mayor shall hold office for a term of four (4) years. The Mayor shall be sworn into office following certification of the general municipal election and continue in office until a successor qualifies.

2. Councilmembers:

Councilmembers shall hold office for a term of four (4) years. Two Councilmember offices shall be elected at each general municipal election. Each Councilmember elected shall be sworn into office following certification of the general municipal election and continue in office until a successor qualifies.

D. Elected Mayor:

1. In addition to the powers and duties authorized by State law, the Mayor shall be recognized as the official head of the City of Ceres local government, and shall be the City’s official representative for all ceremonial functions.

2. In the time of public danger or emergency, the Mayor may, with the consent of the City Council, cause order to be maintained and enforce laws.

3. The Mayor shall be the Presiding Officer at all the meetings of the City Council, and perform that duty in accordance with the rules and procedures set forth in Chapter IV.

ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 2 -

4. The Mayor of the City is expected to exercise a leadership role with the other members of the City Council. To the extent that time permits, the Mayor generally works more closely with the Ceres City Manager than other Councilmembers, being mindful that all information is shared equally with other Councilmembers. In this regard, the Mayor, working in conjunction with the City Council and the City Manager, assumes a significant role in establishing the City’s policy direction and priorities.

5. The Mayor customarily attends the regular meetings of the Mayors of Stanislaus County.

In addition, the Mayor, as well as other Councilmembers, may elect to become an active participant in the various League of California Cities groups and meetings for elected officials.

6. It is the custom and practice that the Mayor gives an annual or bi-annual “State of the City” address sponsored by the City Chamber of Commerce.

7. Under Government Code 40602 the Mayor is required to sign all warrants drawn on the City Treasury; all written contracts and conveyances; and all instruments requiring the City seal; unless the Council by ordinance authorizes signature by an officer other than the Mayor.

In the City of Ceres our ordinance provisions allow warrants and checks to be signed by at least two (2) of the following persons: Mayor; Vice Mayor; City Clerk; City Treasurer; or Director of Finance. (Muni Code 3.32.010)

Contracts for supplies, equipment, and services may be signed by the City Manager or his designee. (Muni Code 3.32.010)

Therefore, the Mayor still must sign the following documents:

a) Contracts conveying, encumbering or otherwise affecting City property (Deeds, Trust Deeds, etc…)
b) All instruments requiring the City Seal, which would include:
(1) Ordinances
(2) Resolutions
(3) Bond related documents
(4) Contracts for the Construction of public works

8. The Mayor shall make all appointments to boards, commissions and committees with the approval of the City Council. (Govt. Code 40605)
E. Vice Mayor:

In the absence of the Mayor, the Vice Mayor shall possess and perform the power and duties of the Mayor. In that capacity, the Vice Mayor shall sign ordinances and resolutions adopted in his or her presence.

ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 3 -
F. Vice Mayor Selection:

The Vice Mayor shall be appointed by the City Council at the first meeting following the certification of the election. The Vice Mayor shall serve a two (2) -year term. If the Vice Mayor resigns during his or her term the Council may vote to replace the Vice Mayor so long as there is a quorum.

G. Vacancies:

If a vacancy occurs prior to the expiration of a term of office, the Council shall fill the vacancy by appointment or special election in a manner prescribed by law.

If the Council fills the vacancy by special election, the election shall be held on the next regularly established election date not less than one hundred fourteen (114) days from the call of the special election and the appointee shall hold office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent.

If the Council appoints a person and the vacancy occurs in the first half of a term of office at least one hundred thirty (130) days prior to the next general municipal election, the person appointed shall hold office until the next general municipal election and thereafter until the newly elected incumbent is qualified. If the vacancy occurs in the first half of the term of office but less than one hundred thirty (130) days prior to the next general municipal election, or if the vacancy occurs in the second half of the term of office, the person appointed to fill the vacancy shall hold office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent.

H. Rules of Procedures:

The City Council shall determine its own rules of procedures and amend them from time to time or adopt new rules as it deems necessary. Amendment to or adoption of new City Council Rules shall be accomplished by majority vote of the entire Council membership.

I. Council- Staff Relations:

Council understands that the position they hold requires transparency and accountability to the public they serve and shall address the administrative services of the City through the City Manager. Inversely, City staff’s primary function is to take action promulgated by the Council as a whole through the direction of the City Manager. The Council is discouraged from instructing or reprimanding City staff as individual Councilmembers or in a public forum. Comments or concerns should be communicated through the City Manager and resolved in private.

J. Council Position on Ballot Measure(s) or Legislative Proposals:

Because the Council performs as a body, it is important that the public understand when an individual Councilmember is speaking as an individual and when they are speaking on behalf of the entire Council. Councilmembers should refrain from using City letterhead, correspondence, or logos when expressing their opinions as an individual to the public.

ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 4 -
Councilmembers may clarify that they did or did not support a matter so long as they clearly articulate the Council’s positions as a whole unambiguously.

K. Council Conflicts & Liability

i. Conflict of Interest (Government Code Section 87105) State laws are in place that attempt to eliminate any action by City Official s that may reflect a conflict of interest. The purpose of such laws and regulations is to ensure that all actions are taken in the public interest.

Newly elected officials are required to file a Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700) within thirty (30) days of being sworn into office. Thereafter, elected officials are required to file an annual Form 700. T he City Clerk will then notify elected officials of their filing requirements. Written permission must be obtained before posting elected officials’ home addresses or telephone numbers on the Internet.

At any time if a City Official believes that a potential for conflict of interest exists, he or she is encouraged to consult with the City Attorney or private legal counsel for advice. Staff may also request an opinion from the City Attorney regarding a City Official’s potential conflict. Laws which regulate conflicts are very complicated. Violations may result in significant penalties or fines, including criminal prosecution.

ii. Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 87100 et. seq.) The Political Reform Act prohibits public officials from making, participating in, or in any way attempting to use their official position to influence a governmental decision in which they know, or have reason to know, that they have a disqualifying conflict of interest.

Therefore, if a public official has a conflict of interest, the official must disqualify himself or herself from acting on or participating in the decision before the City. During that discussion, the official must leave the Council Chambers or wherever the discussion is taking place.

Economic interests include interests in businesses, real property, sources of income, and gifts. An official has a financial interest if “it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect, distinguishable from the effect on the public generally” on one or more of the economic interests of the official or a member of the official’s immediate family. Economic interest amounts vary pursuant to update by the Fair Political Practice Commission.

Determining whether a Councilmember has a disqualifying conflict of interest can be complicated and fact specific. If a Councilmember suspects they may have a conflict of interest, the Councilmember should contact the City Attorney so a formal four -step analysis of the potential conflict can be provided.

Government Code section 87105 states that a Council or commission member who has a conflict of interest must recuse himself or herself and leave the room, unless the matter is on ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 5 -
the Consent Calendar. After it has been determined that a conflict of interest exists under the Political Reform Act, the following steps must take place:

1. Publicly identify the financial interest. This must be done in enough detail for the public to understand the economic interest that creates the conflict of interest.

Residential street addresses do not have to be disclosed.

2. Recuse yourself from both the discussion and the vote on the matter. Recusal applies to all proceedings related to the matter.

3. Leave the room until the matter has been completed. The matter is considered complete when there is no further discussion, vote, or any other action.

Exceptions: if the matter is on the consent calendar, recusal is not required. Additionally, if the individual with the conflict wants to speak during public comment, he or she may do so as a private citizen. However, this is the only time he or she may be in the room while the matter is being considered.

The Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”) has published lengthy regulations and opinions on conflicts of interest that are useful in determining whether a particular financial interest or decision could give rise to disqualification based on a potential conflict of interest.

The FPPC also puts out informational pamphlets to assist public officials in determining what types of situations may give rise to prohibited conflicts of interest.

Government Code Section 1090
Government Code section 1090 is similar to the Political Reform Act, but it applies only to City contracts in which a public official has a financial interest. The financial interests covered by section 1090 are different than those in the Political Reform Act. Having an interest in a contract may preclude the City from entering into the contract at all. In addition, the penalties for violating section 1090 are severe. If a City Official believes that he or she may have any financial interest in a contract that will be before the Council, the member should immediately seek advice from the City Attorney.

There are a number of other restrictions placed on Council actions which are highlighted in the League of California Cities Handbook. Such restrictions include prohibitions on secrecy and discrimination, as well as assurance that all City funds are spent for public purposes.

Violations of these restrictions may result in personal liability for individual City Officials.

Conflict of Interest Forms
Annual disclosure statements are required of all Councilmembers, designated commissioners, and senior staff. These disclosure statements indicate potential conflicts of interest, including sources of income, ownership of property , and receipt of loans and gifts. Councilmembers often serve on the governing board of other local agencies as a result of appointment or delegation through the Council (e.g. , ABAG, etc.). These agencies will also require the submittal of disclosure forms. These forms require information including income, loans, receipt of gifts, and interest in real property, among other items.

Liability
The City is a large institution offering a variety of services and may often find itself subject to legal action through lawsuits. The City must always approach its responsibilities in a manner which reduces risk to all involved. However, with such a wide variety of high -profile services (e.g., police, fire) risk cannot be eliminated.

It is important to note that violations of certain laws and regulations by individual City Officials may result in that Official being personally liable for damages which would not be covered by the City’s insurance. Examples may include discrimination, harassment, or fraud.

Ethics Training (Government Code Section 53235(f))
State law requires the City to advise local officials, subject to California’s ethics education requirements, about their compliance requirements at least once a year.

Prior to the change in City Council meetings to 6:00 p.m. in 2015, workshops were very common. However, with the meeting time change, Council directed staff for most informational type items to be included as part of the normal agenda as “Discussion Items.” Most informational items will be handled under Discussion Items, however, workshops could still be held if the Council deems it necessary.

However, the City Council is prohibited from extensively discussing, or taking action, on an item not appearing on its posted agenda under the provisions of the Brown Act.

{CW139487.2} - 12 -

c. Voting on Approval of Minutes:

City Council minutes may be approved by a majority vote of a quorum of the Council membership.

67. Consent Calendar:

Items of a routine, non-controversial nature may be placed on the consent calendar at the City Manager’s discretion. Consent calendar items may include the second reading and adoption of City ordinances. When such ordinance matters are placed on the consent calendar they shall be listed in the following manner:

ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 15 -

Reports should be brief summaries of activities and concerns and generally should not exceed three to five minutes in length. Since these matters are not on the posted agenda, the Brown Act prohibits the City Council from making any formal decision or reaching a consensus regarding any issue that might be raised. There should be no significant discussion regarding such matters. If the City Council believes that the matter deserves the attention of the Council, it should direct the City Manager to place the matter on a future City Council agenda.
121. Closed Session:

On this portion of the agenda the City Council may discuss and decide certain types of matters which are authorized by the Brown Act to be considered in closed session. The Brown Act prescribes specific descriptions of the various types of closed session matters which must appear on the posted agenda. The Mayor should adjourn the public meeting to closed session to consider such matters. In doing so, it is not necessary to read the agenda description. It is sufficient to simply refer to the numbered agenda item. The Brown Act requires that when ce rtain decisions are made in closed session those decisions must be reported to the public. Some decisions must be reported in public session immediately after conclusion of the closed session. The City Attorney will advise the City Council regarding the time and manner of publicly reporting their closed session decisions.

Information provided and discussions held in closed session are confidential and must not be disclosed to the public by any persons attending the closed session unless specifically authorized by a majority vote of the City Council. Violations of this rule of confidentiality may be punished by public censure and may also be subject to prosecution by the District Attorney as a misdemeanor criminal violation.

L. Commencement of Successor Agency Meetings:

The City Council acts as the Successor Agency for the Former Ceres Redevelopment Agency and the Former Stanislaus-Ceres Redevelopment Commission. The Successor Agencies have a designated the start time for their meetings as 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as business permits. Regular meetings of the Successor Agency for the Former Ceres Redevelopment agency and the Successor Agency for the Former Stanislaus Ceres Redevelopment Commission are held on the same dates and times of regular meetings of the City Council.

Items for the Successor Agency for the Former Stanislaus Ceres Redevelopment Commission will customarily be heard prior to the Reports Section of the City Council meeting. The City Council meeting adjourns to the meetings of the Successor Agencies and reconvenes to the City Council Meeting. Holding a Joint Meeting of the agencies is also an option depending on the agenda of the respective agencies.

ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 23 -

J. Continued Agenda Item:

It is City Council practice and policy that matters scheduled on an agenda will be heard at the meeting scheduled. When unforeseen circumstances mandate a request for continuance of an agenda item by an applicant, appellant, or other interested parties, the request must be made to the City Council at the outset of the consideration of the item. In addition, any person intending to make a request for a continuance shall inform the City Clerk, in writing; as soon as possible prior to the meeting that such a request for continuance will be made. The City Clerk shall inform the Mayor. The City Council will consider the request for continuance prior to discussing the substance or merits of the agenda item. The interested parties may speak to the issue of a continuance without forfeiting the right to speak later to the merits of the issue if a majority of the Council so rules. Comments may be presented by persons not able to attend the meeting for which the item is finally scheduled if the City Council agrees to continue the item.

ITEM 7

ATTACHMENT B
Ceres City Council Rules & Procedures

{CW139487.2} - 24 -

O. Failure to Vote:

Absent a disqualification under State law, including conflict of interest provisions and prohibitions on participating when personal bias would prohibit a fair decision, it is the responsibility of every Councilmember to vote. Failure to vote that is not compelled by a legal disqualification shall constitute an affirmative vote. A Councilmember who fails to vote shall nonetheless be counted towards making up a quorum, unless the failure to vote is compelled by a legal disqualification.

P. Abstention/Recuse: Conflict of Interest:

Councilmembers shall disqualify themselves and abstain from voting if they have a financial conflict of interest or any other disqualification prescribed by law in a matter before the City Council. In such an event, they may not participate in the discussion or the vote.

Councilmembers shall state the specific reason for such disqualification. Unless the matter is on the consent calendar, the abstaining Councilmember shall leave the Council dais until the conclusion of the agenda item. The matter will then proceed as though the member is not present, and the member shall not be counted toward making up a quorum.

Q. Tie Votes:

All tie votes shall be deemed to be a denial of the matter that is before the Council for decision, unless the Council by a majority vote of the members present elects to continue the matter to the next Council meeting when it is reasonably known that all Councilmembers will be present.

R. Appeal from the Presiding Officer’s Decision:

When the rules are silent, the Presiding Officer shall decide all questions of order, subject to appeal by any Councilmember. When in doubt, the Presiding Officer may submit the question to the City Council. Any decision or ruling of the Presiding Officer may be appealed by request of any Councilmember. The Presiding Officer shall immediately call for a vote to determine if the Presiding Officer’s ruling shall stand.

S. Parliamentary Motions and Procedures for the Processing of Council Business:

The City Council adopts Rosenberg’s Rules of Order, as modified by the provisions stated in these rules, as the parliamentary procedures and motions to be used as a guide for conducting the City’s business at meetings of the City Council. A copy of Rosenberg’s Rules of Order is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. Strict adherence to these suggested parliamentary procedures and motions is not required, but their use is encouraged to the extent that such use helps to promote an orderly and efficient public meeting of the City’s elected officials. No provisions in these administrative processing procedures are intended to override State law or local ordinance provisions.

SUBJECT:

Ordinance No. 2025-XXX, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ceres, A dopting a Rezone to Change the Zoning Map Designation from the AP Administrative Professional Zoning District to the R-5 Multi-Family Residential Zoning District for a 2.1- Acre Site
Resolution No. 2025-XXX, Approving a Site Plan Application for an 81-Unit Senior Living Facility Located at 1748 Evans Road, Ceres, CA 95307
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council to introduce for first reading, and waive for further reading an Ordinance a dopting a rezone to change the zoning map designation from the AP Administrative Professional Zoning District to the R-5 Multi-Family Residential Zoning District on a 2.1 acre site. Staff also recommends that the City Council approve a Resolution approving a site plan application for an 81 -unit senior living facility located at 17 48 Evans Road, Ceres, CA 95307.

I. BACKGROUND:

This project is a Site Plan Approval and Rezoning of a 2.1 acre site for the development of a four-story, 81-unit senior living facility that will be located behind Evanshire Gardens Event Center located at 1748 Evans Road. Per section 18.03.030- Responsibilities of the City Council in the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council is the body to decide on Rezonings.

In the event that applications for other land use permits are requested in conjunction with a Rezoning, the City Council becomes the final decision -making body for the other land use permit as well.

The proposed project was heard by the Planning Commission at a public hearing on April 7, 2025. Commissioner Condit made a motion to approve the project upon adding a condition that requires a front gate be added to the entrance of the project on Stone Haven ITEM 8
Way. The applicant agreed to install an entrance gate. As such, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 (Perez absent) to recommend approval of the project to the City Council with the addition of the entrance gate condition. The condition has been added to the Conditions of Approval assuming the Council also would like a gate to be installed at the entrance of the project . The Council may remove this condition if they feel the gate is unnecessary.

The project also qualifies for a State Density Bonus as it is a 100% senior housing project.

Under State Density Bonus law, a qualifying project is also eligible for waivers and concessions. The applicant has requested one waiver for the height of the project. This is discussed further below.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is recommending approval of the Site Plan Application and the Rezoning as the project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of High Density Residential, meets the R -5 Multi-Family Residential Zoning District standards, and is a 100% senior living project that meets the requirements of State Density Bonus law.

General Plan
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of HDR High Density Residential. The HDR land use designation supports a senior living facility such as the proposed project. The allowable density of a project in HDR is 20 -30 dwelling units per acre. At 81 units, the density calculation is 38.5 dwelling units per acre. As such, the project exceeds the allowable density per acre allotment. However, under State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915), a 100% senior living project is entitled to a density bonus on the allowable number of units. The maximum allowable units on the site without the bonus is 63 units. With a 35% bonus, the 81 units is within the allowable density bonus range. It is important to note that if the entire five acres developed as a housing project, as it could given the General Plan land use designation, the applicant could have proposed up to 150 units on site. With a 35 percent density bonus, the number of units could have been 203 units. While a larger senior project would have been great for the City, it’s still exciting to be able to have new senior units in the City and still keep an active business in town. The dual use of the site is essentially a form of horizontal mixed use that benefits the City as wh ole by providing jobs and residential units all on one parcel.

The project is consistent with several senior housing goals and policies and in -fill development policies as noted in Attachment F, Planning Commission Staff Report.

Based on the conformance to multiple General Plan goals and policies, and the project’s conformance to the land use designation’s allowable uses, staff believe that the proposed project is supported by the General Plan.

Zoning Ordinance
The project site is zoned AP Administrative Professional. A housing project is not permitted in the AP zoning district. As such, the applicant is proposing to rezone 2.1 acres of the project site to the R -5 Multiple-Family Residential zoning district. Giv en the General Plan designation for this site of HDR, it is clear that the City has intended since at least 2018 to have this site redevelop as a housing development site.

ITEM 8
The project meets the development standards of the R -5 zoning district in that the setbacks except for the height, which is discussed below in the Density Bonus section.

The project also meets the required number of parking stall needed for the proposed use.

The proposed number of parking stalls on site is 36. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a Residential Care Facility required 1 parking space per three beds. There will be 89 residents in this senior living facility, making the required number of parking spaces 30 stalls. It is important to note that this facility is not exactly a Residential Care facility, but it is also not a multi -family facility either, given the age restriction of the population and the needed care component of the facility. When determining what parking ratio to use, the apartment calculation did not make sense as the required number of parking stalls did not accurately tell the story about the residents living in the facility. These units will be filled with individuals over the age of 55 who will be at varying stages of their lives.

Some will be restricted to their beds and unable to drive. Some will be active, but still unable to drive, while some may have cars and be able to drive. Based on the data provided by the applicant for their other facilities, the average number of parking spaces typically provided is 2.4 spaces per bed. The applicant’s recent facility in Modesto is providing 2.1 spaces per bed. This facility in Ceres is providing more spaces than the average facility at 3 spaces per bed. It is important that the Council and surrounding neighborhood understand that this use is not going to be a use like an apartment complex where there could be two or even three cars per unit. There will be staff vehicles on site, which will use the extra 6 spaces provided. Family members will come and go and use spaces when they are there visiting family members. The remainder of the spaces will be for the few residents that retain a car on site when they move into the facility. Visitors are not allowed to stay overnight, so there will be no overnight parking on site or spill over into the neighborhood.

The proposed project also adheres to the landscaping requirements of the R -5 zoning district. There is a landscape buffer along the edges of the property, shielding neighbors from any perceived viewshed issues. The front is appropriately landscaped, crea ting an attractive end to Stone Haven Way, which has previously just been a vacant, overgrown area. The fencing meets the R -5 standards, and most importantly, the fire access has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department.

State Density Bonus Law
Per State Density Bonus law, a city shall grant a density bonus for a 100% senior housing development. As a total senior living project, the applicant has requested a density bonus for the addition of 18 units above the allowed 63 units (28% bonus). The ability to have a density bonus is not an issue the Council may debate. If the project meets the parameters under state law, the bonus is granted. Mentioning the bonus is to provide context for the increased density of the project.

Further, once a project qualifies for a density bonus, the project is also eligible for waivers and concessions. Concessions are reductions in development standards that lead to identifiable cost reductions for the project, while waivers are reductions that are necessary to physically allow the development to proceed at the increased density. These concessions and waivers are also not negotiable items that the Council or staff can deny.

These waivers and concessions are necessary to ensure the project can be built at the proposed density. Having these units constructed in the City are vital, and making small concessions or waivers for the greater good of the project is something that the State has deemed necessary.

ITEM 8
In this instance, the applicant requested only one waiver, meaning this item will help the project be built at the proposed density. This waiver is an increase in height. In the R -5 zoning district, the maximum height is three stories or 40 feet, whicheve r is less. The proposed project is four stories and fifty feet in height. Staff is aware that a taller building can be imposing on a neighborhood. However, the applicant has worked with staff to site the project as considerately as possible. There are only two residential backyards immediately impacted by the height of the structure, given the structure’s location on the site. The applicant provided a generous landscaped screen along the western edge where the two rear yards are located. The Stanislaus County Behavioral Health campus is to the south of the project site where there are no residential uses, and the front of the project (east boundary) faces Stone Haven way and is over 50 feet away from the nearest residential property, which significantl y minimizes the look and feel of the building’s height. The robust landscaping plan is shown in Attachment E, Approved Plans.

Community Meeting
The applicant held a community meeting for the surrounding neighborhood on February 11, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. at the Evanshire Gardens Event Center, located on the project site.

Only two members of the public attended the meeting. One expressed support for th e project, and the other was not supportive of the project. No changes were proposed by the community other than to not have the project constructed. Concerns over access to Stone Haven Way were expressed. The project has frontage adjacent to Stone Have n Way and access to the site is allowed by right. As such, no changes were proposed to the site plan.

Based on the facts presented in this staff report, the proposed senior living facility is an allowable use in the HDR land use designation and is supported by multiple General Plan goals and policies.

PROJECT LOCATION & DESCRIPTION

T
his project is a Site Plan Approval and Rezoning of a 2.1 acre site for the development of a four-story, 81-unit senior living facility that will be located behind Evanshire Gardens Event Center located at 1748 Evans Road. Figure 1 below identifies the project site in the rear of the parcel. The access for the project site will be off Stone Haven Way, with an Emergency Vehicle Access point from Evans Road. After the applicant has secured project approval, the applicant will file a Tentative Map to subdivide the parcel to separate the two uses.

Figure 1: Project Site

The project’s current zoning district designation is AP Administrative Professional.

However, the site’s General Plan designation is HDR High Density Residential. It is not common for the zoning district and land use designation to not match. As such, the applicant is seeking a rezone of the rear two acres of the property to match the existing land use designation. Since Evanshire Gardens is an active event center, the applicant is choosing to leave the zoning designation on the other three acres as AP Administrative Professional.

The project is invoking State Density Bonus law given that the project is a 100% senior living project that will be age restricted. Under State Density Bonus law, the applicant is able to increase their allowable unit count by 35%. The applicant is also able to use ITEM 8

ATTACHMENT F
waivers to reduce or modify a development standard when the reduction or modification of a standard would otherwise physically preclude the construction of the project. In this instance, the project applicant is waiving the current R-5 height restriction. This information is discussed in detail below.

PROJECT ANALYSIS

T
he proposed Rezone and Site Plan approval has been analyzed with respect to conformance with:

1. Ceres General Plan

2. Ceres Municipal Code

3. Community Outreach

4. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE

The project site has a General Plan land use designation of HDR High Density Residential.

The HDR land use designation supports a senior living facility such as the proposed project. The allowable density of a project in HDR is 20-30 dwelling units per acre. At 81 units, the density calculation is 38.5 dwelling units per acre. As such, the project exceeds the allowable density per acre allotment. However, under State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915), a 100% senior living project is entitled to a 35% density bonus on the allowable units. The maximum allowable units on the site without the bonus is 63 units. With a 35% bonus, the 81 units is within the allowable density bonus range. It is important to note that if the entire five acres developed as a housing project, as it could given the General Plan designation, the applicant could have proposed up to 150 units on site. With a 35 percent density bonus, the number of units could have been 203 units. While a larger senior project would have been great for the City, it’s still exciting to be able to have new senior units in the City and still keep an active business in town. The dual use of the site is essentially a form of horizontal mixed use that benefits the City as whole by providing jobs and residential units all on one parcel.

The following goals and policies are just a few goals and policies that support the approval of this project:

1. S
enior Housing Goals and Policies

Policy 2.A.6 Range of Housing. Ensure that a range of residential densities and housing types, including small-lot single family, move-up, townhouses, apartments, accessory dwelling units, affordable housing, senior housing, and condominiums, is available to accommodate the housing needs of all residents.

Policy 5.D.3 Aging in Place. Provide programs and services that allow seniors to “age in place” in their homes and encourage the development of senior housing and assisted living services throughout the City, especially ITEM 8

ATTACHMENT F
in walkable areas well-served by transit and close to commercial goods and services.

Implementation Action 2.4 Establish incentives, potentially including, but not limited to, density bonuses, increased height limits, reduced parking requirements, expedited review, and development fee waivers or deferrals, to encourage the development of affordable, special needs, and senior housing.

Analysis: The proposed project helps the City meet the growing demand for senior housing in the City and Stanislaus County as a whole. Cities with a growing senior population need to ensure they have adequate housing option to meet the needs of older adults. This helps ensure that seniors can age in place, which is a General Plan goal as noted above. A community is not a complete community without all age brackets included. By providing senior housing within Ceres, the City will be able to keep a valuable sector of their community in town.

The General Plan Implementation Action 2.4 was specifically added to help spur senior housing in throughout the City. The project is using a density bonus to reach a viable number of units to make the project pencil, and the project is implementing an increase in height so that the project can actually be developed.

2. In
fill Development Goals and Policies

Goal 2.D. Promote infill development to protect farmland; enhance community character; optimize City investment in infrastructure; provide pedestrian and bicycle friendly neighborhoods; and enhance economic vitality.

Policy 2.D.1. Promote Infill. Promote infill development and reuse of underutilized parcels in the city to reduce pressure to develop on farmland or other “greenfield” sites on the periphery.

Analysis: Supporting infill development, development that occurs within existing urban areas, can play a crucial role in fostering the efficient use of existing infrastructure, provides environmental benefits, and improves housing availability. This project is being built behind the existing Evanshire Gardens Event Center, and adjacent to an existing neighborhood, which means the project will make use of existing infrastructure such as roads and utilities. Rather than building on a new site that will need to have services extended to it, this site will be able to avoid the unnecessary expansion and extension of infrastructure and services. Infill development also minimizes the need to encroach on undeveloped natural areas, farmland, and wildlife habitats. Infill projects also promote sustainability as they include higher-density buildings, which can help reduce a city’s overall carbon footprint. Infill also promotes housing availability by utilizing a vacant or underused piece of land that now can provided much needed housing to an aging population.

ITEM 8

ATTACHMENT F
Based on the above goals, staff believe that the proposed project is supported by the General Plan.

ZONING CODE CONFORMANCE

The project site is zoned AP Administrative Professional. A housing project is not permitted in the AP zoning district. As such, the applicant is proposing to rezone 2.1 acres of the project site to the R-5 Multiple-Family Residential zoning district. Given the General Plan designation for this site of HDR, it is clear that the City has intended since at least 2018 to have this site redevelop as a housing development site. At this time the property owners are interested in keeping the existing Evanshire Garden Event Center on site but are interested in turning a portion of the project site into the senior housing development. Once the applicant is ready to subdivide the property, the applicant will have to come back to Planning Commission for approval of the map. The applicant will submit the map to Planning Commission shortly after approval, assuming approval of the overall project by the Council.

The project meets the development standards of the R-
5 zoning district in that the setbacks
except for the height, which is discussed below in the Density Bonus section. The project also meets the required number of parking stall needed for the proposed use. The proposed number of parking stalls on site is 36. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a Residential Care Facility required 1 parking space per three beds. There will be 89 residents in this senior living facility, making the required number of parking spaces 30 stalls. It is important to note that this facility is not exactly a Residential Care facility, but it is also not a multi-family facility either, so when determining what parking ratio to use, the regular apartment requirements did not make sense as they were too high and did not accurate tell the story about the residents living in the facility. These units will be filled with individuals over the age of 55 who will be at varying stages of their lives. Some will be restricted to their beds and unable to drive. Some will be active, but still unable to drive, and some will still be able to drive.

Based on the data provided by the applicant for their other facilities, the average number of cars at this type of facility is XX. This accounts for those individuals who are still able to be mobile and active and can drive a vehicle. This also takes into account those that cannot.

This is not going to be a use like an apartment complex where there could be two or even three cars per unit. There will be staff vehicles on site, which will use the extra 6 spaces provided. Family members will come and go and use spaces when they are there visiting family members. The remainder of the spaces will be for the few residents that retain a car on site when they move into the facility. Visitors are not allowed to stay overnight, so there will be no overnight parking on site or spill over into the neighborhood.

T
he proposed project also adheres to the landscaping requirements of the R-5 zoning district. There is a landscape buffer along the edges of the property, shielding neighbors from any perceived viewshed issues. The front is appropriately landscaped, creating an attractive end to Stone Haven Way, which has previously just be a vacant, overgrown area.

The fencing meets the R-5 standards, and most importantly, the fire access has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department.

Based on these facts, the project is consistent with the R-5 Zoning district and can be supported by the Planning Commission.

ITEM 8

ATTACHMENT F
Density Bonus Law

Chapter 39 Density Bonus Program, of Title 18 Zoning Ordinance, of the Ceres Municipal Code identifies the parameters of allowable density bonus provisions for the City of Ceres.

This chapter was adopted to be in compliance with Government Code Sections 65915- 65918, which is the State’s Density Bonus Law section. There have been several updates to the law since the City’s municipal code update in 2020. In California, when a local density bonus law conflicts or is different from the state density bonus law, the state law prevails. Given the recent updates to state law, this density bonus analysis is based on state law.

Per State Density Bonus law, a city shall grant a density bonus for a 100% senior housing development. As a total senior living project, the applicant has requested a density bonus for the addition of 18 units above the allowed 63 units (28% bonus). The ability to have a density bonus is not an issue that the Planning Commission may debate. If the project meets the parameters under state law, the bonus is granted. Mentioning the bonus is to provide context for the increased density of the project.

Further, once a project qualifies for a density bonus, the project is also eligible for waivers and concessions. Concessions are reductions in development standards that lead to identifiable cost reductions for the project, while waivers are reductions that are necessary to physically allow the development to proceed at the increased density. These concessions and waivers are also not negotiable items that the Commission or staff can deny. These waivers and concessions are often times necessary to ensure the project can be built at the proposed density. Having these units constructed in the City are vital, and making small concessions or waivers for the greater good of the project is something that the State has deemed necessary.

In this instance, the applicant has requested only one waiver, meaning this item will help the project be built at the proposed density. This waiver is an increase in height. In the R-5 zoning district, the maximum height is three stories or 40 feet, whichever is less. The proposed project is four stories and fifty feet in height. Staff is aware that a taller building can be imposing on a neighborhood. However, the applicant has worked with staff to site the project as considerately as possible. There are only two residential backyards immediately impacted by the height of the structure, given the structure’s location on the site. The applicant provided a generous landscaped screen along the western edge where the two rear yards are located. The Stanislaus County Behavioral Health campus is to the south of the project site where there are no residential uses, and the front of the project (east boundary) faces Stone Haven way and is over 50 feet away from the nearest residential property, which significantly minimizes the look and feel of the building’s height.

ITEM 8

ATTACHMENT F
The applicant prepared a
viewshed diagram which shows
that the proposed setback of the
building and the landscaping both
create privacy between the
residential yards and the project
by shielding views of the yar and
limiting the view of the residents
at the facility to maybe a second
story window. Figure 2 shows the
perspective of a person on a
second story window looking out
into their year. The building is not
visible at ground view, and a
limited view can be seen at the
second story.

Figure 2: Viewshed

As discussed above, the landscaping of the project adheres to the R-5 standards. It can be seen in the landscaping plan (Figure 3) that there is ample project screening on all sides that will minimize the appearance of height and of the project altogether.

Figure 3: Landscape Plan

Given the minimal impact expected by the heigh increase, and Fire’ support of the height, staff was comfortable honoring this waiver requested by the applicant.

ITEM 8

ATTACHMENT F
Zone Change

Per Section 18.32.110 a property owner may initiate a proposed zoning map amendment.

Section 18.32.120 states that the zoning map change must conform to the adopted General Plan. Based on the discussion above, staff believes that the proposed change supports the goals and policies of the General Plan and the HDR land use designation.

Assuming the Commission agrees, section 18.32.170 states that the Planning Commission shall forward on their recommendation to the City Council within 30 days after the Planning Commission hearing. This project has been scheduled to go before the City Council at the April 28, 2025 City Council meeting in order to meet this timeline.

Site Plan Approval

Per Section 18.04.170 a site plan, elevations, floor plans, and a landscape plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission to enable it to make a finding that the proposed development is in conformity with both the intent and provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

There are no specific findings that the Commission needs to make per the code, but generally, to be able to say that a project is in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance, a project should be consistent with the General Plan, consistent with the development standards of the zoning district, provide appropriate and safe circulation in and out of the site and around the site, be in compliance with the environmental quality act, and generally be a compatible use in the community.

Typically the Planning Commission is the approving body for Site Plan Approvals.

However, per section 18.03.030- Responsibilities of the City Council in the Zoning Ordinance, in the event that applications for other land use permits are requested in conjunction with a rezoning, the City Council shall be the final decision- making body for the other land use permit as well. In this instance, the City Council is the decision-making body for the rezoning. As such, the Site Plan Approval will go with the rezoning to the City Council level where they will determine approval or denial. This is why the recommendation for both items is listed as a recommendation to Council.

Community Meeting

The applicant also held a community meeting for the surrounding neighborhood on February 11, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. at the Evanshire Gardens Event Center, located on the project site. Only two members of the public attended the meeting. One expressed support for the project, and the other was not supportive of the project. No changes were proposed by the community other than to not have the project constructed. Concerns over access to Stone Haven Way were expressed. The project has frontage adjacent to Stone Haven Way and access to the site is allowed by right. As such, no changes were proposed to the site plan.

Based on the facts presented in this staff report, the proposed senior living facility is an allowable use in the HDR land use designation and is supported by multiple General Plan goals and policies.

SUBJECT: Cannabis Business Pilot Program Evaluation
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff requests direction from Council on the following three issues related to the City’s Cannabis Business Pilot Program:

1. Should the City transition from public benefit payments to a cannabis business license tax? If so, at what tax rates?

2. Should the City phase out of the use of development agreements for cannabis businesses and transition to a permitting framework?

3. Should the City implement a cap on the number of cannabis businesses operating in the City?
I. BACKGROUND:

On May 29, 2018, the Ceres City Council (“Council”) passed Ordinance No. 2018-1045 to regulate commercial cannabis businesses within the City of Ceres (“City”) through a cannabis business pilot program (“Pilot Program”). This Pilot Program was in response to emergency regulations issued by the Department of Cannabis Control relating to all medical and adult use cannabis businesses.

The Pilot Program was intended to be a temporary program that would allow commercial cannabis businesses to begin operations as state and local regulations were adopted and the market matured. Seven years after its inception, City staff is reviewing the Pilot Program and requests direction from Council to establish a more permanent regulatory framework for commercial cannabis businesses in the City.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

As the local and state cannabis market has matured since the Pilot Program was implemented in 2018, the City is in a position to implement a more permanent regulatory ITEM 11

4930-5713-3616, v. 4
structure that serves both the City and cannabis businesses better than the initial Pilot Program. The following three questions are presented to Council in an effort to guide staff on next steps for the Pilot Program.

1. Should the City Transition from Public Benefit Payments to a Cannabis Business License Tax? If so, at what tax rates?

The Pilot Program uses public benefit payments to generate revenue for the City from each cannabis business. The public benefit payments were a mechanism for the City to establish revenue generation from cannabis businesses prior to passing a tax. After Ordinance No. 2018-104 was adopted to create the Pilot Program, City voters passed Measure W in 2018 authorizing Council to impose a cannabis business license tax of up to fifteen percent (15%) of gross receipts on cannabis businesses and dispensaries.

Currently, cannabis business es are required to make public benefit payments in the amounts specified in the development agreement with each cannabis business. Each development agreement requires the cannabis business pay a fixed monthly public benefit depending on their gross receipts. The fixed amounts range from $20,000 to $100,000 per month.

The public benefit payments have two significant shortcomings. First, the City does not have an established and effective collection procedure for unpaid public benefits.

Enforcement of delinquent public benefit payments places a high administrative burden on City staff. As a result, much of the public benefit amounts owed under the development agreements with the City’s existing cannabis businesses remain uncollected.

Second, the public benefit payments exceed the amount that some struggling cannabis businesses are capable of paying. Generally, under the development agreements, each cannabis business must pay a minimum of $20,000 per month regardless of their revenues that month. This fixed cost is unsustainable for some of the City’s cannabis businesses. This issue is not unique to Ceres. The local cannabis industry has struggled in recent years, with two of the four retail dispensaries in unincorporated areas of Stanislaus County being shut down due to nonpayment of public benefits owed in those jurisdictions. Further, the statewide cannabis market owes $1.3 billion in unpaid taxes and fees and has contracted 20% in the last year.

An alternative to public benefit payments would be for the City to replace the public benefit payments with a cannabis business license tax. As noted above, t his tax was already approved by voters in 2018 and allows Council to implement up to a 15% tax on the gross receipts of cannabis businesses. An 8% for retail and 5% for cultivation and manufacturing would generally align with cannabis business license tax rates in surrounding cities and counties.

A cannabis business license tax would streamline collections because it will be collected in the same manner as other business license taxes in the City , allowing City staff to increase enforcement and reduce delinquent payments. Additionally, City staff would be able to enforce the tax outside of development agreements. The tax would also serve the cannabis businesses better by allowing them to reduce their fixed expenses in months where they are not making enough revenue to pay the public benefit amounts under the development agreement s. This could potentially allow cannabis businesses to stay in ITEM 11

4930-5713-3616, v. 4
business longer and continue making payments, which benefits the City financially .

Although the amount owed by each cannabis business may be less per month under a cannabis business license tax than public benefit payments , collection rates should improve.

The transition from public benefit s to a cannabis business license tax is occurring throughout Stanislaus County. Stanislaus County, Modesto, Riverbank, and Patterson either have cannabis business license taxes in place or have begun the process to implement the tax. Transitioning to a cannabis business license tax will allow the City to remain competitive.

2. Should the City Eliminate Development Agreements for Cannabis Businesses?

Development agreements are the cornerstone of the Pilot Program. They are a contract between the City and each cannabis business that conditions the business ’ operations and requires the public benefit payment. However, if the City decides to stop using the public benefit s and instead transitions to a cannabis business license tax , then the development agreements would serve a much less important role . Development agreements also place a high administrative burden on City staff and Council.

The Pilot Program contemplates both development agreements and conditional use permits for each cannabis business, but if the City shifts to a cannabis business license tax, the conditional use permits should be sufficient to meet the City’s needs without the added development agreement. With a cannabis business license tax, the City could rely on conditional use permits alone, reducing the administrative burden on staff and Council and would simplify and streamline enforcement of business operations into the City’s well- established land use regulation.

3. Should the City Implement a Cap on the Number of Cannabis Businesses Operating in the City?

Many other cities set a maximum number of cannabis businesses that the City will allow to operate at one time. For example, Modesto limits the number of retail cannabis businesses to 10, and Patterson limits the number of all commercial cannabis business to 10.

The City does not currently place a limit on the number of cannabis businesses operating within its boundaries. The City could choose to limit cannabis businesses , allowing the City to deny any applications over the maximum permissible operators. If implemented, the City could establish a wait list and develop a process for issuing permits to businesses on the wait list, such as through a lottery or prioritizing disadvantaged groups.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

There is no fiscal impact to the City from Council directing Staff on how Council would like to move forward with the Pilot Program. However, changes to the Pilot Program will result in changes to the City’s revenue generation and enforcement costs regarding cannabis businesses.

Three Questions for City Council

1. Should the City transition from public benefit payments to a cannabis business license tax? If so, at what tax rates?

2. Should the City phase out of the use of development

ITEM 11
Background

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Background Ceres’s Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis
Ceres Ordinance No. 2018-1045
• Amended Ordinance No. 2017-1039 to regulate medicinal and adult-use cannabis operations under the Cannabis
Business Pilot Program.
• Implemented licensing and operating requirements that apply to both medicinal and adult-use cannabis
businesses.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Cannabis Business Pilot Program under Ordinance
No. 2018-1045
All cannabis businesses require:
• Application, investigation, verification, and approval of business program.
• All required state and local licenses and permits.
• Issuance of Development Agreement approved by City Council. • Cannabis business permit issued by City.
• Conditional Use Permit issued by Planning Commission.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Public Benefit Payments
• Development Agreements require monthly public benefit payments based on gross receipts.

For Example:
• $20,000 – Base payment.
• $40,000 – gross receipts between $500K - $800K.
• $60,000 – gross receipts between $800k - $1.1 million. • $70,000 – gross receipts over $1.1 million.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Delinquent Public Benefit Payments
• Only approximately 60% of the amount owed to the City under development agreements was actually paid by
cannabis businesses in 2024.
• Over $1 million in public benefit payments that are owed to the City, remains uncollected.
• The City does not have an established and effective
collection procedure for delinquent public benefit
payments.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Statewide Cannabis Industry
• Statewide, the cannabis industry contracted 20% in
the last two years, in part due to over taxation.
• Proposed AB 564 would prevent an increase of the
state excise tax - an attempt to lessen the burden on
the struggling cannabis industry.
• Over taxation of cannabis may contribute to a growing illicit market for untaxed products.

public benefit payments to a
cannabis business license tax? If so,
at what tax rates?

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Cannabis Business License Tax
• Measure W was passed by Ceres Voters in 2018.
• Authorizes the City Council to impose a cannabis
business license tax at a rate of up to fifteen percent (15%) of gross receipts on cannabis businesses and
dispensaries.
• Countywide, cannabis business license taxes are
between 4% and 8%.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Implementing a Cannabis Business License Tax
• Tax calculated as a percentage of cannabis business
gross receipts.
• Tax collected through the same channel as other
business license taxes.
• Fixed public benefit payments would be terminated.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Advantages of a Business License Tax
• Cannabis business license tax would streamline
enforcement and administration of City’s revenue
collection.
• Tax collected like other business license taxes.
• City revenue separated from conditions of operations. • Reduces financial burden on cannabis businesses.
• Eliminates fixed minimum payments.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Disadvantages of Business License Tax
• Revenue forecasting becomes uncertain as City could no longer rely on fixed minimum monthly public benefit payment. • Uncertain how implementation of the tax will change City revenues.
• Tax revenue required to be used for general fund.
• Public benefit payments allowed the City to apportion funds for specific purposes.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Regulations Unaffected by Transition to a
Cannabis Business License Tax
• Requirement for cannabis businesses to obtain all State and local permits and pay all fees will remain.
• Allows City to still condition cannabis business operations. • Zoning of Cannabis Businesses will not change.
• Regulations on cannabis use will remain the same.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Business License Taxes in Other Jurisdictions
• In Stanislaus County, other public agencies are
trending away from public benefit payments, instead
implementing cannabis business license taxes on
gross receipts.
• Stanislaus County, Modesto, Riverbank, and Patterson
either have cannabis business license taxes in place
or have initiated the process to implement a tax.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Municipality Revenue Scheme
County of Stanislaus November 2024 Measure P passed to replace development agreements with 8% general tax on gross receipts of retail and 4% tax on gross receipts of other cannabis business.

City of Modesto Cannabis Business tax rates range from 1% to 8% of all gross receipts: 8% for retail; 2.5% for cultivation; and 4% for manufacturing.

City of Turlock June 2024, City Council decided against putting cannabis tax to a vote and continue with development agreement
program with Payments of 5.25% of gross receipts or $45,000 per month, whichever is greater.

City of Riverbank Voters passed up to 10% tax on gross receipts. City has not implemented cannabis business tax and still relies upon development agreements.

City of Patterson Hybrid Development Agreement and Tax: Development agreements are still in place, but business required to pay minimum public benefit amount or pay a cannabis business tax, whichever is higher. Tax rates are 7% retail, 5%
manufacturing, and 2.5% cultivation

ITEM 11

2. Should the City eliminate
development agreements for
cannabis businesses?

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Development Agreements
• Development agreements made sense as a temporary
program.
• Development agreements allowed the City Council to make all decisions relating to cannabis regulation.
• However, development agreements place a high
administrative burden on the City and do not have an
effective enforcement mechanism.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Development Agreements and
Conditional Use Permits
• Currently, the City imposes conditions on cannabis businesses on a case-by-case basis through a combination of development agreements and conditional use permits.
• Development agreements focus on financial and legal
obligations.
• Conditional use permits focus on business operations, such as security measures.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Conditional Use Permits
If the City no longer uses development agreements, conditional use permits can be used exclusively to condition cannabis business operations.
• Conditional use permits can encompass conditions on business operations and legal requirements.
• An established procedure already exists to enforce conditional use permits.
• Eliminating development agreements will reduce the administrative burden on City staff.

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Development Agreements
• Pro: provides flexibility for financial
conditions.
• Con: No established enforcement
procedure for the City.
• Con: Requires City Council action for
each decision.
• Con: High administrative burden on City
staff.

Conditional Use Permit
• Con: Cannot impose revenue conditions.
• Pro: Can condition all other cannabis
business operations.
• Pro: Established enforcement procedure
through City’s land use authority.
• Pro: Decisions made by Planning
Commission with appeal to City Council.
• Pro: Help to reduce administrate burden
on staff.

ITEM 11

3. Should the City Implement a
Cap on the number of cannabis
businesses operating in the
City?

ATTACHMENT A
ITEM 11
Limiting Cannabis Businesses
• The City has the authority to limit the number of
cannabis businesses operating in the City.
• In other cities and counties, the most common
restriction limits the number of retail cannabis
dispensaries by capping the number of available
business licenses.
