In determining which offenses are substantially related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of the business or profession for which the application is made, the city manager shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. A violent felony, as defined by California Penal Code section 667.5 or

2. A serious felony, as defined by California Penal Code section 1192.7 or equivalent offense in other states.

F. The applicant or permittee is not properly organized or operating in strict compliance pursuant to the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), and any other applicable law, rules and regulations.” SECTION 11. REPEAL OF MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION. Section 5.69.150 Interested parties of Chapter 5.69 Retail Cannabis Regulatory Permit of Title 5 Business Licenses and Regulations of the Coachella Municipal Code is repealed to read as follows:
“5.69.150 – Reserved.”
SECTION 12. CEQA DETERMINATION. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) because it does not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. The State CEQA Guidelines provide that “[a]n activity is not subject to CEQA if … the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c).) Here, the Ordinance does not qualify as a “project” as defined in State CEQA Guidelines section 15378 for at least two reasons:
First, Section 15378 defines a project as an activity that “has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(a).) The proposed Ordinance adds commercial cannabis and retail cannabis regulatory permit definitions and updates to provisions regarding background checks and regulatory permit denials. These amendments merely clarify terminology and establish regulatory consistency with state law. Therefore, the proposed amendments are not a “project” subject to CEQA. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c).) Second, Section 15378 explicitly excludes from the definition of “project” “[o]rganizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) This Ordinance is organizational in nature, as it simply updates definitions and standards to clarify the City’s cannabis regulatory permit procedures. These activities are administrative in nature and do not
Item 22.
Ordinance No.1226
have any direct or indirect physical environmental impacts. Accordingly, they are not subject to CEQA.
Even if the proposed Ordinance was considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it would qualify for the “common sense exemption” set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). This exemption applies where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Here, the Ordinance does not authorize or directly result in any physical development or changes to the environment.
Instead, it serves to define terms and establish standards for cannabis business background checks and permitting, ensuring future compliance with applicable regulations. As a result, it can be seen with certainty that the Ordinance will not have a significant environmental effect.
SECTION 13. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases are declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
SECTION 14. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days from its adoption.
SECTION 15. PUBLICATION. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause it, or a summary of it, to be published in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published within the City of Coachella, pursuant to all legal requirements.

Item 22.
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Kendra Reif, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Introduce Ordinance No. 1227 Amending Section 16.12.140 of the Coachella Municipal Code Regarding Extensions for the Filing of a Final Map RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 1227, which amends Municipal Code Section 16.12.140 to increase the number of available oneyear time extensions for filing a final map from three to five, find the action exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and direct staff to return for a second reading and adoption.
BACKGROUND:
Municipal Code Section 16.12.140 authorizes the Planning Commission to grant one-year extensions for the filing of a final map after tentative map approval. The current cap is three oneyear extensions. In practice, securing infrastructure connections, interagency reviews, and other external clearances often extends beyond the current filing window. If available extensions lapse before prerequisites are complete, the tentative map may expire and require the subdivider to file a new map and reinitiate entitlement.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
External coordination timelines for infrastructure connections, agency reviews, and related clearances can outlast the current filing window. When the three year cap is reached before those prerequisites are complete, a tentative map may expire, forcing a refiling and restart of the entitlement process, even though the project’s substantive standards, conditions, and findings have not changed.
Increasing the number of extensions from three to five provides a predictable, streamlined path to accommodate longer coordination timelines, reduces duplicative agenda cycles and staff workload, and avoids unnecessary re-entitlement. The amendment does not relax any substantive requirements. All existing findings, conditions of approval, engineering standards, and fees remain fully in effect.
STAFF REPORT
10/22/2025
Item 23.
The action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because this ordinance adjusts procedural timing only, and does not authorize any physical development or changes to the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve ordinance as proposed.
2. Modify the cap or add criteria for later extensions.
3. Maintain the status quo.
4. Direct staff to return with additional options.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Staff workload associated with repetitive extension items is expected to decrease over time. No fee changes are being proposed. Avoiding unnecessary re-entitlement may reduce cumulative costs for both applicants and the City.

ORDINANCE NO. 1227
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COACHELLA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION
16.12.140 OF THE COACHELLA MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING EXTENSIONS FOR THE FILING OF A
FINAL MAP
WHEREAS, the City of Coachella, California (“City”) is a general law city organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66410 et seq. (the “Subdivision Map Act”) authorizes cities to adopt regulations for the processing and approval of subdivision maps; and WHEREAS, Coachella Municipal Code Section 16.12.140 currently authorizes the Planning Commission to grant up to three (3) one-year time extensions for filing a final map; and
WHEREAS, the timing required to secure infrastructure connections, interagency reviews, and other external clearances can often exceed the current three-year window resulting in the expiration of the tentative map, which would require re-filing; and WHEREAS, increasing the number of available one-year extensions provides a predictable, streamlined path to accommodate those timelines, and avoids unnecessary reentitlement while maintaining all existing substantive findings and conditions for approval; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it adjusts procedural timing only, and does not authorize any physical development could cause a significant effect on the environment.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COACHELLA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals herein are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Amendment to Municipal Code. Coachella Municipal Code Chapter
16.12.140 is amended to read as follows:
“16.12.140 – Extension of Time.
The compensation of the city clerk and the city treasurer is fixed as follows: Upon written application of the subdivider made within twenty-four (24) months of the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, the commission may grant by resolution, an extension of time of up to five (5) one-year time extensions for filing of the final map.
Such application shall state the reasons why an extension is needed.
Item 23.
Ordinance No. 1227
All applications shall be filed sufficiently in advance of the expiration date to permit inclusion upon commission agenda, and to permit commission action prior to such expiration date. At the time of consideration by the commission of the extension of the approved tentative map, the commission shall hear the testimony of the subdivider or any witnesses in his or her behalf and the testimony of the representatives of the development committee or any other witnesses. Upon conclusion of the hearing or the time of consideration, unless the subdivider and commission mutually agree that additional time is needed for consideration, the commission shall, within seven days, declare its findings by resolution based on the testimony and documents placed before it. The commission may approve, conditionally approve or deny the request for extension.
The responsibility for making timely application for any extension shall remain entirely with the subdivider, and the city assumes no obligation to notify the subdivider that any tentative map or extension is about to expire.”
SECTION 3. CEQA. The City Council finds this Ordinance exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it is a procedural timing amendment that does not authorize new development or changes to the physical environment.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.
SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 6. Publication. The Mayor shall sign this Ordinance and the City Clerk shall cause the same to be published within fifteen (15) days after its passage at least once, in a newspaper of general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Coachella, California.
This Ordinance of the City of Coachella shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date of its passage.
