BACKGROUND
1. In 1996, the California Legislature approved Proposition 215, also known as the Compassionate Use Act (the “CUA”), which was codified under Health and Safety Code Section 11262.5 et sec. and was intended to enable persons in need of medical marijuana for specified medical purposes, such as cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, glaucoma and arthritis, to obtain and use marijuana under limited circumstances and where recommended by a physician. The CUA provides that “nothing in this section shall be construed or supersede legislation prohibiting persons from engaging in conduct that endangers others, or to condone the diversion of marijuana for non-medical purposes.”
2. In 2004, the California Legislature enacted the Medical Marijuana Program Act (Health & Saf. Code, § 11362.7 et seq.) (the “MMP”), which clarified the scope of the CUA, created a state-approved voluntary medical marijuana identification card program, and authorized cities to adopt and enforce rules and regulations consistent with the MMP. Assembly Bill 2650 (2010) and Assembly Bill 1300 (2011) amended the MMP to expressly recognize the authority of counties and cities to “[a]dopt local ordinances that regulate the location, operation, or establishment of a medical marijuana cooperative or collective” and to civilly and criminally enforce such ordinances.
The Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S. C., § 801 et seq.) makes it unlawful under federal law for any person to cultivate, manufacture, distribute or dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense marijuana. Despite such federal prohibition, on August 29, 2013, the United States Department of Justice issued a memorandum (the “Cole Memo”) stating that, notwithstanding the federal classification of marijuana as a schedule 1 controlled substance, jurisdictions that have legalized marijuana in some form are less likely to be subject to federal enforcement under the Controlled Substances Act if they have implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to follow eight guiding principles: (1) preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors; (2) preventing revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels; (3) preventing the diversion of marijuana from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states; (4) preventing state authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity; (5) preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana; (6) preventing drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with marijuana use; (7) preventing the growing of marijuana on public lands and the attendant public safety and environmental dangers posed by marijuana production on public lands; and (8) preventing marijuana possession or use on federal property. 840 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1513 of 3559

3. On February 1, 2012, California Governor Brown dissolved the redevelopment areas in cities statewide thereby negating $3 million annually in funds to the Cudahy Community Development Commission (CDC).
4. On July 12, 2014, the City Council held a Special Meeting to prepare a draft strategic plan (Attachment A) which among other things identified the need to establish an economic development plan, develop consistent revenue generators, implement a business retention program, and above all use these various tools to adopt a balanced budget.
5. On August 11, 2014, the City Council entered into an Employment Agreement with Jose E.
Pulido for the City Manager position.
6. On August 10, 2015, the City Council approved the addition of an Economic Development Ordinance No. 652 with the goal of providing the City with an economic development venue to implement its General and Strategic Plan.
7. In September 2015, the California State Legislature enacted, and Governor Brown signed into law three bills – Assembly Bill 243, Assembly Bill 266, and Senate Bill 643 – which together comprise the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (the “MMRSA”). The MMRSA created a comprehensive dual state licensing system for the cultivation, manufacture, retail, sale, transport, distribution, delivery, and testing of medical cannabis.
8. On October 26, 2015, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 653 to amend the municipal code to provide investment and development opportunities in our dilapidated and underutilized industrial zones through a Development Agreement (DA).
9. On August 22, 2016, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 656U to establish a temporary moratorium on medical “commercial cannabis activities,” as defined under the MMRSA, for a period of 45 days and extended such moratorium for an additional period of 22 months and 15 days under Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 661, on September 26, 2016.
The MMRSA was renamed the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (the “MCRSA”) under Senate Bill 837 in June 2016, which also included substantive changes to the applicable state laws, which affect the various state agencies involved in regulating cannabis businesses as well as potential licensees.
10. On November 8, 2016, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”) was approved California voters as Proposition 64 and became effective on 841 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1514 of 3559

November 9, 2016, pursuant to the California Constitution (Cal. Const., art. II, § 10(a).).
Proposition 64 legalized the nonmedical use of cannabis by persons 21 years of age and over, and the personal cultivation of up to six (6) cannabis plants.
11. On November 14, 2016, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 663 to prohibit outdoor personal marijuana cultivation and establish regulations and a permitting process for indoor personal marijuana cultivation.
AUMA also created a state regulatory and licensing system governing the commercial cultivation, testing, and distribution of nonmedical cannabis, and the manufacturing of nonmedical cannabis products.
12. On January 9, 2017, Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 666 was adopted by the City Council to establish a temporary moratorium on nonmedical “commercial cannabis activities” for a period of 45 days and extended such moratorium for an additional period of 22 months and 15 days under Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 667, on February 27, 2017.
13. On June 27, 2017, Governor Brown signed the Legislature-approved Senate Bill 94. SB 94 combined elements of the MCRSA and AUMA to establish a streamlined singular regulatory and licensing structure for both medical and nonmedical cannabis activities given that there were discrepancies between the MCRSA and AUMA. The new consolidated provisions under SB 94 are now known as the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”) to be governed by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control. MAUCRSA refers to medical cannabis as “medicinal cannabis” and nonmedical/recreational cannabis as “adult-use cannabis.”
14. On June 27, 2017, as part of an Economic Development Ad Hoc Committee presentation on City Council opportunities, commercial cannabis regulations and strategies were discussed by the City Council. Based upon such discussion and direction from the City Council, the City sought to establish an overlay zone in the City in which certain medicinalonly commercial cannabis activities could be conducted in accordance with MAUCRSA and the City’s police power under Section 7 of Article XI of the California Constitution.
15. On July 31, 2017, the Cudahy Planning Commission adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 17-03, which: (1) found that the proposed Ordinance No. 673 is consistent with the General Plan and compliant with CEQA; and (2) recommended City Council approval of the proposed Ordinance No. 673.

16. At its meeting of August 24, 2017, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 673 for First Reading.
17. On September 11, 2017, the City Council held a Second Reading of Ordinance No. 673.
18. On September 25, 2017, the City entered into Professional Services Agreements (PSA) with Vincent Sarmiento and Glenn Ward Calsada for cannabis legal counsel; MGO for technical consultation, economic projection and application screening and review; and emja Planning + Development, for policy development, permit processing, project management and on-going compliance enforcement services in connection with the City’s Cannabis Program.
19. On September 21, 2017, an amendment to the City’s fee schedule, was approved and adopted by City Council.
20. On December 4, 2017, the Commercial Cannabis Permit applications were initially due to the City, after a 45-day application period. However, due to technical difficulties with the online application program, the City Manager extended the application submission deadline to December 15, 2017.
21. On December 15, 2017, the City received 41 applications for commercial cannabis license types were received by the City, including those for cultivation, manufacturing, retail delivery, distribution and testing.
22. On February 1, 2018, the City received reimbursement agreements from applicants to ensure all staff and consultant time, including permit processing, monitoring and compliance costs, will be reimbursed to the City by the applicant.
23. On March 20, 2018, the City Council approved a General Plan Update (General Plan 2040) which established new Zoning Districts; however, the Zoning Code Amendment which will formally establish the districts and uses therein, had not been considered by the Council to date. Upon approval and adoption of the new districts, the existing Commercial Manufacturing (CM) zone will become a Light Industrial (LI) Subdistrict, which is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation.
24. On November 9, 2018 the Planning Department and City Clerk’s Office provided public notice regarding the Planning Commission hearing on this matter in accordance with the requirements of Government Code §65091 and the City Municipal Code. The Planning 843 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1516 of 3559

25. On November 19, 2018, the City of Cudahy Planning Commission ("Planning Commission") conducted a properly noticed public hearing to consider the recommendation of an Ordinance approving a Development Agreement By and Between the City of Cudahy and STAPLE ROOM, LLC a California limited liability company [DA#18-015C] ("Development Agreement") and the issuance of Commercial Cannabis Facility Permit No. CCP 18-0015 to allow a Commercial Cannabis Facility for the Site set forth in the Development Agreement located at 4931 Cecelia Street, City of Cudahy, CA. On a 2-1 vote, the Commission continued the item to the next Planning Commission Meeting to a date uncertain. In order to avoid a violation of the California Permit Streamlining Act, the City Council, pursuant to Section 20.84.550 of the CMC, the City Council may, on its own, initiate a public hearing on a Development Agreement with or without the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
26. On November 21, 2018, and November 23, 2018, the City received written correspondence in the nature of an appeal from representatives for VM Evergreen, LLC, Starcraft, LLC and Staple Room, LLC requesting that the City Council hold an immediate hearing on their applications for a Commercial Cannabis Facility permit and a Development Agreement. The letters are attached to this Staff Report (Attachment A).
The representatives complain that the Planning Commission’s failure to timely act on their applications was for no legitimate land-use reason and its continuation of a decision on the matter to an unspecified future hearing date is an unjustified delay in the processing of the CCF permits and Development Agreements resulting in substantial injury and significant competitive disadvantage. The Planning Commission’s failure to act has also placed their projects in jeopardy of losing state issued cannabis licenses. Under such circumstances, the Planning Commission’s indecision and/or purposeful delay has resulted in a defacto denial of the applications for development permits without expressed findings of facts as required by law.
27. On November 24, 2018, the Planning Department and City Clerk’s Office provided public notice regarding the City Council hearing on this matter in accordance with the requirements of Government Code §65091 and the City Municipal Code. The Planning Division mailed notices to all owners of property within 300 feet of the project site, placed a legal ad in the Press Telegram and posted the notice at all required city facilities. 844 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1517 of 3559

ANALYSIS
Approximately four years ago, the City Council identified a growing number of vacant and dilapidated warehouses within the City. These vacancies created a blighted condition in the City’s industrial areas. With the decline in local and national manufacturing industry, businesses once operating successfully, closed and left the City, causing employment opportunities and sales tax dollars to drastically decrease. Because of these circumstances, the City Council worked to create new economic development tools for the City, including the establishment of a new economic development chapter to the City’s municipal code (Ordinance 6530). The new chapter outlined economic development tools such as Development Agreements to take advantage of emerging business trends. Last month, the City Council adopted the City’s 2040 General Plan update to address outdated land-use policies. These additions will help further the City’s economic development goals and policies.
To implement the City Council’s and community’s goals to address underperforming, blighted areas in the City, the Council formed an Economic Development Ad hoc Committee. The primary task of the ad hoc committee was to research economic opportunities for the underperforming areas and buildings within the City. The ad hoc committed looked to introduce new industries that would generate revenue for the City and create sustainable employment opportunities for Cudahy residents. The committee also wanted to ensure underutilized or abandoned industrial areas were developed into a vibrant hub of entrepreneurial activity. Consistent with these objectives, approximately two years ago, the City Council identified Commercial Cannabis as an emerging industry suitable for the industrial areas and vacant warehouse spaces. After a thorough analysis of the industry and business opportunities the industry could bring, the City Council directed the City Manager to assemble and retain a consulting team to assist with the implementation of a regulatory framework for allowing commercial cannabis activities in the City. Under the direction of the City Manager, the consulting team developed an application process, permit eligibility criteria, development standards, development agreement terms and conditions. In consultation with the applicants and City Manager, the consulting team negotiated the operational fees and community benefit program fees stipulated within the development agreements. In addition to the potential new City revenues resulting from operational fees (based on gross receipts), a Community Benefit Program fund is expected to help the City fund projects such as new parks, capital improvement projects, youth recreation programs, and holiday and special community events.
Pursuant to the City Council’s direction to the City Manager, and the State of California’s December 31, 2017 deadline to issue Cannabis-related business licenses, City staff and the 845 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1518 of 3559

12/04/18 Page 8 of 28
consultant team prepared a procurement process to consider applicants prior to the State of California deadline. A total of 21 applicants submitted application materials for 41 licenses by the deadline. During the past eight months, City staff and the consultant team have diligently worked to ensure the project is complete, as stipulated by the City’s Development Agreement Ordinance No. 653 and Commercial Cannabis Ordinance No. 673.
City Council Appeals Authority and California Permit Streamlining Act The City Council is considering this item at this time due to Planning Commission’s recommendation of continuing this item indefinitely rather than to a date specific. Under CMC §20.84.550, the City Council may, on its own, initiate a public hearing on a Development Agreement with or without the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Additionally, Section 20.08.020 of the CMC states that the City Council has the authority to "Act as the appeal body of the Planning Commission” and "Hear and act" upon applications for development agreements and other matters listed in Table 20.84-1, which include conditional use permits, development review permits etc. such as the ones sought by VM Evergreen, Starcraft and Staple Room. Moreover, under CMC §20.84.160, "any person dissatisfied with an interpretation or action of the Approving Authority may appeal such action to the Appeal Authority ..." and under CMC §20.84.160.C, the filing of an appeal "stays all proceedings until a decision on the appeal has been made by the decision-making body." Based on the above referenced CMC provisions, the City Council has the authority to consider this item and treat the applicant's request as an appeal of the Planning Commission's action.
Alternatively, CMC §20.84.160.B, gives the City Council authority, on its own, to initiate a public hearing on a Development Agreement. In addition, it appears that the applicants are triggering the Permit Streamlining Act and therefore it is now necessary and appropriate for this Council to promptly move this matter forward.

Figure 1.1 - Proposed Project Site
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project includes a Commercial Cannabis Permit, which is a type of conditional use permit, to allow for a Commercial Cannabis Facility and a Development Agreement (DA) for commercial cannabis activities including manufacturing and distribution within an existing, currently vacant, approximately 8,525 square foot industrial building. The site is currently developed with one commercial building. The proposed project will be built in one phase and includes the following commercial cannabis activities:
Manufacturing: The manufacturing area consists of a 1,186 square foot manufacturing and packaging area, a 188 square foot quarantine and testing room, a 353 square foot liquid and solid processing room including a liquid and solid separator, three (3) freezer rooms totaling 198 square feet, a 454 square foot flammable gas storage and usage room, a 221 square foot mechanical chase room, a 221 square foot post processing room, a 64 square foot lobby, and a 48 square foot security check-in.
The total manufacturing area is 2,933 square feet.
Distribution: The distribution activities will occur with an area comprised of a 3,500 square foot room, a 77 square foot office, a 64 square foot lobby, and a 48 square foot security check-in. The total distribution area is 3,689 square feet. 847 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1520 of 3559
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
12/04/18 Page 10 of 28
The proposed facility includes a total of 6,622 square feet of production space and 1,903 square feet of total premises space.
General Business Offices: The facilities office hours will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., 5 days a week and facility operations will be 24 hours, with approximately ten (10) employees per shift.
Parking/Loading/Access: The proposed project provides 18 parking spaces, including 2 accessible van spaces. Loading will take place on-site. Vehicular access to the site will be through an existing shared driveway on Cecelia Street. Within the site, access to the structure will be through the secured front office entrance. The project complies with the CAL Green Tier 1 by incorporating stormwater pollution prevention measures, installing energy- and water-efficient equipment, and planting native and drought-tolerant landscaping at the front of the property.
Security: The project will secure the facility against unauthorized entry by installing security lights on the exterior of the building to illuminate the side yards and parking area, installing commercial-grade locks, installing an alarm and video surveillance system, establishing procedures for identifying authorized persons, establish inventory controls, and install a secure surveillance vault to maintain the integrity of records. In addition, the applicant will engage a licensed security company to provide an operational security plan in compliance with Ordinance 673.
Staple Room LLC will employ approximately 10 employees. As a term of the Development Agreement with the City, the facility must offer 50% of the employment opportunities to City residents. This will result in at least five (5) jobs in the City. Currently, the site offers no employment opportunities to residents or otherwise, as the facility is vacant. The existing industrial building is located on a 11,165 square foot lot, which is unmaintained with no landscaping. With the façade and site improvements proposed by the applicant, the site would include a new security fence with lighting, 24-hour security cameras, 275 square feet of new landscaping area, various tenant improvements, and parking lot upgrades. All development will be consistent with the City’s proposed design and landscaping guidelines.
Staple Room LLC has agreed to provide living wages, full-time employment, and medical benefits to their employees, as a term of their development agreement with the City. In addition to employment and other economic opportunities, Staple Room LLC would further the City’s beautification efforts by providing on-site improvements, extensive landscaping, and enhance the security measures to the facility. Staple Room LLC has demonstrated to the 848 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1521 of 3559

Commercial Cannabis Permit (CCP) and License Types
Pursuant to the Cudahy Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 20.120.030 (Ordinance No. 673), all Commercial Cannabis activities, except retail dispensaries, shall be allowed within the Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone with a Development Agreement adopted in accordance with accordance with the Development Agreement Law (Government Code Section 65864 et. Seq.) and CMC Chapter 20.28 (Development Agreements). The City shall issue Commercial Cannabis Permits (CCP) as defined in Chapter 5.20.020(c). Cannabis permits may authorize Commercial Cannabis Activity, including, but not limited to, Cannabis Cultivation, Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail Delivery, Microbusinesses and Testing. Commercial Cannabis activities may be conditionally permitted within the Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone.
Commercial Cannabis Permits are a distinct and unique Conditional Use Permit which can only be granted within the Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone and in accordance with applicable state law.
Each Commercial Cannabis Operator is required, by Ordinance 673, to have both a Commercial Cannabis Permit and a Development Agreement that authorizes the specific Commercial Cannabis activities. The development agreement establishes annual operating and Community Benefit Program (CBP) fees that would be paid by the Operator to the City, upon execution of the agreement. The proposed development agreements with all commercial cannabis operators require Operators to pay a monthly operating fee of $0.42 per square foot of the premises, as identified in each respective development agreement, until the owner is operating and selling products under the City and State regulatory permits.
Once operators are operating or generating income, the monthly operating fee would be the greater of $0.42 per square foot of production space or 1%-2% of gross receipts, based on the license type.
Table 2.1, below, summarizes the proposed operators and respective license types as well as the operating fees the City has assessed on each license type.

The non-operational fee represents the cost to the operator to hold each license. However, once the facility is generating revenue, the City would receive 1%-2% of gross receipts, when gross receipts exceed the square foot rate for production space.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING
The proposed project is located within the Commercial Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone. The Commercial Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone is the only area within this City where Commercial Cannabis uses are allowed under the City Cannabis Ordinance No. 673. The zone allows for all commercial cannabis activities including, cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail delivery.

The 2040 General Plan outlines several goals, policies and programs designed to guide development within the City and achieve the design goals expressed by the community during the General Plan Update process. The section below, identifies the applicable General Plan goals, policies and programs and demonstrates how the proposed project will comply with or meet the requirements.
1. Goal LU -1 (land use): Complete, integrated, and defined neighborhoods, corridors, and districts.
Policy LUE 1.1: Develop, maintain, and enhance the beneficial and unique character of the different neighborhoods, districts and open spaces.
The proposed project will contribute to defining the Commercial Urban Agriculture Overlay zone by developing a business within the emerging commercial cannabis industry. The proposed facility is located within the general area of other approved commercial cannabis sites, along Cecelia Street. The unifying design themes of each commercial cannabis facility will create a cohesive, modern, improved urban landscape for the area.
2. Goal LUE -3 (land use): Aesthetically pleasing, definitive, and inclusive urban design Require building and site frontages that define public streets with high-quality architectural and landscape design, including small-scale architectural elements and plan changes.
Require new and renovated building be designed to avoid styles, colors, and materials that negatively impact the environment or the design character of the neighborhood and center in which they are located.
The proposed project fronts Cecelia Street, which is a public street. The project includes a landscape buffer at the property line between the adjacent parcel where access is taken and the proposed fencing. Landscaping elements include drought-tolerant native plant species with water efficient irrigation. As a condition of approval, the facility operator must submit to the City, for review and approval, a façade improvement plan and landscaping plan which are required to be designed to meet the City’s design and landscaping guidelines. The design elements include modern architecture with a neighborhood character that is highlighted by creative design spaces. The façade improvements for the existing building will comply with the design and character goals outlined in the General Plan.
3. Goal LUE (land use) – 6: Enhanced character in neighborhoods Policy LUE 6.2: Require that new additions, renovations, and infill development be sensitive to neighborhood context and building form and scale. 853 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1526 of 3559
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
12/04/18 Page 16 of 28
The proposed project is an infill development project as the proposed facility will be operating within one existing building. While the project does not include any major construction or additions, the design and scale has been evaluated to ensure compatibility with existing and future development. The area is currently largely industrial uses, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities and storage facilities. Most existing buildings are singlestory on deep rectangular lots. The proposed project is consistent with the existing neighborhood.
Policy LUE 6.4: Require commercial and industrial uses to screen service facilities from public view. New development should enclose loading docks and bays when directly adjacent to residential uses.
The proposed facility design includes a security wall, which will screen all commercial cannabis activities from pedestrian view. All loading activities will occur behind the facilities security wall. No facility activities will be visible from the public view shed.
4. Goal ED-1 (economic development): A diverse and healthy economy Policy ED-1.1: Promote long-term partnerships and programs that facilitate business recruitment, retention, and expansion through partnerships with businesses, property owners, and educational, arts, and environmental communities and other stakeholder groups.
The Commercial Cannabis Program helps the City meet this economic development goal and policy by creating long-term partnerships with facility operators. The proposed project includes a 10-year development agreement and a commercial cannabis permit. Over the 10- year life of the permit, the Operator is required, as a term and condition of operation, to contribute to the economy of the City by providing employment opportunities, paying operational fees and by making an annual contribution to the General Fund with the Community Benefits Program fee. The proposed development agreement stipulates that the Operator will contribute a minimum of $66,667 annually to the City for community benefits and programs. This will result in $666,667 in revenue for the City over the 10-year permit life.
Each of the Commercial Cannabis sites will be required to make the same contribution as a term of their retrospective development agreements. If all proposed project sites are approved, the community benefit contribution alone would result in approximately $9.3 million in revenue for the City over 10 years.

12/04/18 Page 17 of 28
5. Goal ED – 2: A thriving business climate that attracts and retains new businesses of diverse types and sizes
Policy ED – 2.3: Incentivize business to locate in Cudahy. Policy ED – 2.4: Streamline development and business application process to ensure they are thorough and efficient.
The Commercial Cannabis program offers cannabis industry leaders a unique and diverse operating area in the City. The City is conveniently located near the 710, I-5, 105 and 91 freeways. In addition to major roadways, the City is near the Los Angeles International Airport and Long Beach Port – both of which are major domestic and international import/export hubs. Being located just outside the City of Los Angeles, Cudahy provides Operators an opportunity to legalize their existing cannabis businesses in an unsaturated market, with an expedited permitting process, while remaining within short distance to major retail dispensaries within greater Los Angeles area. As such, the City has attracted some of the largest-most successful cannabis brands in the industry, like Staple Room LLC. As the operator and long-term tenant, the company is committed to maintaining a corporate partnership with the City.
6. Goal ED – 3: A skilled and adaptable local workforce Policy ED – 3.1: Strive to increase the number of Cudahy resident who both live and work in Cudahy.
Policy ED – 3.3: Continue to support industries that provide a range of jobs at prevailing living ages through land use policy and local incentives.
As previously mentioned, the proposed development agreement includes a provision that requires the Operator to provide 50% of the employment opportunities generated by the facility to Cudahy residents. The existing building is vacant, thus providing no jobs for residents. Other business in the City are not required to meet this requirement, therefore, if the building was leased or purchased by another business, the City would not necessarily gain any new jobs. Further, the proposed development agreement requires that all employees be paid a living wage, as determined by the Los Angeles Living Wage Ordinance, as well as fulltime employment with benefits.
By agreeing to provide local jobs with living wages, Staple Room LLC will assist the City with meeting this goal and policy.

Urban Agriculture Overlay Proposed Design Standards
The Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone business and operational standards were established with the adoption of Ordinance 673; however, the ordinance did not provide specific design or development standards for the zone. Table 8.1 below, represents the approved designed standards for the Cannabis Zone to be incorporated in the recently approved Zoning Ordinance. To ensure consistency with the approved design standards, the proposed project has been designed to comply with the standards and the project includes conditions of approval, which would ensure compliance with development standards and design guidelines.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE Commercial Cannabis Permits are Conditional Use Permits pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance 673 and the City Manager’s determination. The Planning Commission must make certain findings to grant a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 20.44.070 of the Cudahy Municipal Code (CMC). The ability to make the required findings is evaluated below.
1. The site for a proposed conditional use should be adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls and fences, parking and loading, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this chapter, or required by the commission, city council or other authorized agent in order to integrate the conditional use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. [CMC § 20.44.070(1)] The proposed project does not include any new construction. The project site has one building constructed. The development standards for the Commercial Manufacturing – Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone will be met with the development of this project. Based on the evidence presented in this staff report, the proposed project is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines established for the Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone.
Based on the discussion above, this permit approval finding can be made.
2. The Commission shall consider the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the effect the proposed conditional use may have on such adjacent uses, buildings and structures. [CMC § 20.44.070(2)] The surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west are commercial/ industrial uses and zoned for commercial cannabis activities. The proposed project is in the ideal area for Commercial Cannabis activities in the City as it is within the designated Urban Agriculture Overlay and will occupy one currently vacant building.
Based on the discussion above, this permit approval finding can be made.
3. The Site for a proposed conditional use should relate to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate. [CMC § 20.44.070(3)]
Cecelia Street is adequate in width and pavement to carry the quality of traffic generated by the proposed use. The proposed project will take access from the parcel to the east through a shared access with the landowner. The proposed project does not include any new construction and the proposed use (Commercial 861 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1534 of 3559
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
12/04/18 Page 24 of 28
Cannabis Facility) will not increase the intensity of the previous manufacturing use.
Therefore, no additional traffic is anticipated to be generated by the proposed project.
Based on the discussion above, this permit approval finding can be made.
CALIFORNIA ENVIORNMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code or Regulations, Division 6, Chapter 3, §15000 et seq.), the subject application is a “project” that is subject to environmental review.
The proposed project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.
The proposed project does not include any new construction beyond interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances, in accordance with CEQA Section 15301(a).
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed development would occur on a legal lot. The proposed property is a legal lot described and shows as follows:
TRACT NO. 180 E 50 FT OF S 215 FT OF LOT 204, IN THE CITY OF CUDAHY, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 13, PAGE 198 OF MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY.
CONCLUSION
Since February 1, 2012, when California Governor Jerry Brown dissolved all redevelopment agencies, the City has suffered from lack of development funding and opportunities. Prior to dissolution, the City received approximately $3 million in annual revenues from redevelopment agency funding. To overcome the loss, the City Council has prioritized economic development initiatives and programs to redevelop dilapidated and underutilized industrial areas.
Consistent with this objective the City Council approved the addition of both an Economic Development Ordinance No. 652 to allow the City to implement its General Plan objectives and projects. Shortly thereafter, the City Council approved the Development Agreement 862 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1535 of 3559
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
12/04/18 Page 25 of 28
Ordinance No. 653 to allow private investment groups to capitalize on emerging market trends such as the Cannabis industry. The proposed project would provide job opportunities in the City as well as significant economic and fiscal contribution to the City’s General Fund.
Planning Commission Meeting
On November 19, 2018, only three of the Commissioners were present at the November 19, 2018 Commission Meeting. Two Commissioners were not present at the public hearing and, therefore, took no part in the public discussion. One of the members in attendance is likely to be elected to the City Council and will soon no longer be a Commissioner. In the event of a continued public meeting on the applications, the new and/or missing members then in attendance will have no personal knowledge of what transpired at the November 19, 2018 public hearing. At the present time, there is no regular or special meeting set for the month of December 2018.
In addition, the Permit Streamlining Act ("PSA") is a state law enacted in 1977 to expedite the processing of permits for development projects. See, Government Code §65921. The PSA achieves this goal by (1) setting forth various time limits within which state and local government agencies must either approve or disapprove permits and (2) providing that these time limits may be extended once (and only once) by agreement between the parties. The time limits to hold a public hearing are triggered upon notice by the applicant of intent to invoke the Act. Alternatively, an applicant can seek the issuance of a writ of mandate to hold the require public hearings. Government Code §65950. If a local agency fails to approve or disapprove the permit within the required time limits, the permit is subject to being "deemed approved." Government Code § 65956(b). A deemedapproved permit confers the same privileges and entitlements as a regularly issued permit. Ciani v. San Diego Trust & Savings Commission, 233 Cal. App. 3d 1604, 1613, 285 Cal. Rptr. 699, 705 (1991). It appears that the applicants are invoking the protections of the PSA and, therefore, it is now necessary and appropriate for the City Council to promptly move this matter forward for a final decision.
Because the Planning Commission recommended to continue the item to an unspecified date and has not acted in a timely manner, and in order to comply with the any Permit Streamlining Act, the City Council can "hear and act" upon applications for on any matter listed in Table 20.84-1, including DAs and permits. As the appeal authority, the City Council can also set deadlines for the PC to complete is public meeting. Ultimately, the City Council can deem the Planning Commission’s further refusal or failure to reach a final decision as a 863 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1536 of 3559

denial of the DA and the Cannabis Permit
Based on the information presented above, the proposed project is consistent with the City Council’s economic development goals; the 2040 General Plan goals, policies and programs; and the applicable zoning regulations. Pursuant to the City’s Economic Development Ordinance No. 652, Development Agreement Ordinance 653, the Commercial Cannabis Ordinance 673 and the Zoning Code, the City Council is requested to consider the following recommendations:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 18-58 entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CUDAHY, CALIFORNIA, INSTRUCTING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO IMMEDIATELY
COMPLETE ITS PUBLIC MEETING ON AN APPLICATION FOR A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF CUDAHY AND STAPLE ROOM, LLC, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND THE ISSUANCE OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS PERMIT” OR
2. Adopt Resolution No. 18-59 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CUDAHY, CALIFORNIA, TO HEAR AN APPLICATION FOR A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF CUDAHY AND STAPLE ROOM, LLC, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND THE ISSUANCE OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS PERMIT”; AND
3. Adopt Ordinance No. 700 entitled, by First Reading, entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING: (1) A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT [NO. DA18-015C] BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF CUDAHY AND STAPLE ROOM, LLC, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND (2) THE ISSUANCE OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS PERMIT”.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed development agreement would require the operator to provide full-time employment opportunities to residents. The proposed facility is projected to hire up to 10 employees with 50% being City residents. The building facility is currently vacant and therefore currently providing no employment opportunities or generating any sales tax revenue for the City. Because no business is currently being operated, the City is also losing potential business license revenues. Such has been the case for several years.
By allowing the proposed uses, the City would not only bring new jobs to the residents, but also potential tax revenue generated by sales tax and business license tax. In addition to tax 864 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1537 of 3559
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
12/04/18 Page 27 of 28
revenues, the City would get between 1% and 2% of the facilities gross receipts. California is currently the most profitable cannabis market in the nation with market projections upwards of $5.3 Billion in the first year of the legal market (2018). The Los Angeles market leads all other regions—including Colorado and Las Vegas—with cannabis sales. BDS Analytics calculated sales from Colorado, Oregon, and Washington and California for four months (March through June) in 2017. California state dispensaries sold $894 million worth of cannabis products versus Colorado's $516 million, Washington's $302 million and Oregon's $163 million. Some small cultivation sites, similar in size to the proposed project, are projecting annual revenues upwards of $4 million per year. Such revenues would result in a $80,000 annual revenue for the City on the cultivation license, alone.
As described in the 2040 General Plan Consistency section, above, the proposed development agreement stipulates that the Operator will contribute a minimum of $66,667 annually to the City for community benefits and programs. This will result in $666,667 in revenue for the City over the 10-year permit life. Each of the Commercial Cannabis sites will be required to make the same contribution as a term of their retrospective development agreements. As previously mentioned, if the City approves all proposed project sites, the community benefit contribution would result in approximately $9.3 million in revenue for the City over 10 years.
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 the minimum monthly Operating Fee is projected to be approximately $2,781.24 based upon square footage. In the event the business is not operating in the FY, the minimum monthly fee the City will receive is approximately $799.26.
The minimum annual Operating Fee for FY 2018-19 is estimated to be $2,397.78. This Operating Fee is projected for the period April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, if the City takes the following actions:
1. City Council approves the proposed Ordinances and Development Agreements on December 4, 2018;
2. Second Reading of this Ordinance is in December 2018; and
3. Ordinance (Development Agreement) is effectuated 30 days thereafter.
In subsequent years, based upon the size and various licenses types, the site would conservatively bring in approximately $9,591.12 in annual revenue to the City through minimum operational fees; however, the proposed operation is managed by a successful, experience cannabis company with profit projections that far exceed the minimum fee projections. The City anticipates Operating Fee minimum revenues from the 13 locations being proposed to the Planning Commission and City Council to be $490,000 for Fiscal Year 2018-19. This site represents .5% of the $490,000 revenue projection. 865 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1538 of 3559
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
12/04/18 Page 28 of 28
In addition to operating fees, operators will pay a Community Benefit Program fee of $66,667.00, annually, to the City General Fund to support community programs. Based on the economic and fiscal analysis above, the proposed project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City.
It is possible that the City may, in the future, impose a city-wide Cannabis Tax (by Citizen Initiative or otherwise). However, the proposed development agreements do not bind operators to an unknown future Cannabis Tax. Staff recommends that the Commission consider this issue when reviewing the economic impacts of the development agreements and, if appropriate, require operators to expressly agree to be bound by any such future Cannabis Tax. However, it is expected that operators would object to such a condition.

Subject: Starcraft LLC and Staple Room LLC - Development Review From: Daffodil Tyminski ([email protected])
To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Date: Friday, November 23, 2018 11:27 AM
AllI am the representative for two applicants with cannabis projects currently before the Cudahy Planning Commission: Staple Room LLC (“Staple Room”) and Starcraft LLC (“Starcraft”). I am writing to you to ask that the Staple Room and Starcraft projects be placed on the agenda for the Cudahy City Council’s December 4, 2018, for project discussion, review, and approval.
In 2017, the Cudahy City Council approved the law legalizing medical marijuana in Cudahy and creating a cannabis overlay zone in and around Cudahy’s industrial center. The Council later denominated the center of the overlay zone as a “Canna Complex,” a tract of land comprised of multiple individual parcels, which have mostly been owned and operated collectively as a metal working business by the Winders family since 1959. After learning that their properties were in the middle of Cudahy’s newly designated cannabis overlay zone, the Winders created Old and Rusty LLC (“Old and Rusty”), Staple Room, and Starcraft, and filed applications for cannabis permits.
In the spring of 2018, after the Winders received preliminary approval to move forward with the permit applications, they began looking for a suitable location, near Cudahy, to move their ongoing metal business. As long time Cudahy stakeholders and as employers of a number of nearby residents, the Winders sought to keep their metal working business and long time employees intact. By late summer 2018, they had identified a new facility close by and began moving the business, while at the same time completing the plans and other items necessary to obtain cannabis permits for Old and Rusty, Staple Room, and Starcraft.
The three projects were heard at the November 19, 2018, meeting of the Cudahy Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved Old and Rusty, but failed to address Staple Room and Starcraft, and, instead, voted to continue Staple Room and Starcraft to its January 2019 meeting. It is unclear why the Planning Commission failed to act on Starcraft and Staple Room, especially given that the Planning Commission had already approved a similar project in Summer 2018 on the same tract of land — Nyce Guys LLC — and approved a second project on the same tract of land — Old and Rusty. It was suggested at the meeting that the Planning Commission wished to wait until a new City Council was installed to act on these projects, but as I am sure you are aware, that is not a legitimate basis to continue a planning project.
Given the Planning Commission’s failure to act on November 19, 2018, with respect to Starcraft and Staple Room, I am asking that the City Council place the Starcraft and Staple Room projects on the City Council agenda for direct review and approval. Under the Cudahy Municipal Code (“Code”), Section 20.12.050, the City Council “has the authority to hear and make a determination on” planning projects, including “development review permits,” such as the ones sought by Starcraft and Staple Room. Direct action by City Council makes sense here for three reasons:
First, the Planning Commission raised no legitimate land use concerns about Starcraft and Old and Rusty, and indeed, given that the projects sit at the heart of the City’s designated Canna Complex and are designed to be consistent with the City’s land use plan and aesthetic designs, are in a low-traffic industrial area, and are properly zoned, no legitimate land use concerns exist. Moreover, the proposed development will be an aesthetic improvement to the area and will bring additional revenue to the City once operations are underway.
Second, the Planning Commission’s failure to act has placed the applicants, who are longtime Cudahy land owners and Cudahy business operators, in a difficult position, having already incurred significant expenses to move their Print https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.src=ym&reason=myc#mail 1 of 2 11/29/2018, 11:20 AM
868 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1541 of 3559
metal business out of the “Canna Complex.” Further unjustified delay on Cudahy’s part will only cause them to incur additional costs and put both their cannabis and non-cannabis businesses at a significant competitive disadvantage.
Third, since the City Council will already be hearing Old and Rusty, it would seem to maker sense for the Council to address Starcraft and Staple Room at the same time, given that the projects were designed and proposed to be developed and operated in concert. To delay Starcraft and Staple Room to 2019 would force City Council to review these Canna Complex projects twice, which would seem to be a waste of City resources.
Section 20.28.030 of the Code allows the City Council to initiate a hearing on a development agreement — such as the ones proposed by Starcraft and Staple Room — either with or without the Planning Commission’s recommendation. Given the Planning Commission’s failure to act on November 19, 2018, the equities involved, and the hardships delay will cause the applicants, I ask that the City Council place the Starcraft and Staple Room projects on the December 4, 2018 agenda for direct action by the Council.

The purpose of the workshop was to assist the City of Cudahy’s Mayor, City Council in facilitating a Goal Setting Workshop in order to provide staff with clear direction. To be more specific, the City Council engaged in an interactive process in which they accomplished the following:
1. Established expectations for the Workshop and intended outcomes
2. Identified the organization’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT)
3. Established five (5) major targets
4. Developed thirty-one (31) goals for the targets
5. Allowed staff to develop and define priorities across the targets.
6. Referred development of the detailed action plans and schedule to the Interim City Manager and Executive Team
At the conclusion of the workshop, the Mayor and City Council established a clear direction and focus for the Executive Team. The Executive Team worked to develop detailed action plans for the identified priority items.
Attached to this summary is a specific work product that lists the goals and action schedule. It should be noted that the attached timeline is intended to be incorporated into the upcoming fiscal 2014/2015 budget where possible.
It is recommended that a regular formal review of the newly established work plan occur within six months, or annually, (whichever the Mayor, City Council and City Manager deems appropriate), in which progress may be determined, and new or shifting priorities addressed.
I would like to thank the Mayor and City Council for the opportunity to assist the City of Cudahy in this important endeavor and for the outstanding team work that provided for a positive and productive day.

WHEREAS, each of the applications has been pending since December 2017; and WHEREAS, the City has received written correspondence from representatives for VM Evergreen, LLC, Starcraft, LLC and Staple Room, LLC requesting that the City Council hold an immediate hearing on their applications for a Commercial Cannabis Facility permit and a Development Agreement. The representatives complain that the Planning Commission’s failure to timely act on their applications was for no legitimate land-use reason and its continuation of a decision on the matter to an unspecified future hearing date is an unjustified delay in the processing of the CCF permits and Development Agreements resulting in substantial injury and significant competitive disadvantage. The Planning Commission’s failure to act has also placed their projects in jeopardy of losing state issued cannabis licenses. Under such circumstances, the Planning Commission’s indecision and/or purposeful delay has resulted in a defacto denial of the applications for development permits without expressed findings of facts as required by law; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission is a five member body. CMC §2.36.010(2).
Three Commissioners shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. CMC §2.36.010(8). The principal duty of the Planning Commission is to make recommendations to 912 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1585 of 3559
the City Council on various planning and land use matters. CMC §2.36.010(10). City law requires that the Commission "shall hold at least one regular meeting each month at such time and place as it shall fix by resolution." CMC §2.36.010(6).
WHEREAS, on November 19, 2018, only three of the Commissioners were present at the November 19, 2018 commission meeting. Two Commissioners were not present at the public hearing and, therefore, took no part in the public discussion. One of the members in attendance is likely to be elected to the City Council and will soon no longer be a Commissioner. In the event of a continued public meeting on the applications, the new and/or missing members then in attendance will have no personal knowledge of what transpired at the November 19, 2018 public hearing. At the present time, there is no regular or special meeting set for the month of December 2018.
WHEREAS, the Permit Streamlining Act ("PSA") is a state law enacted in 1977 to expedite the processing of permits for development projects. See, Government Code §65921.
The PSA achieves this goal by (1) setting forth various time limits within which state and local government agencies must either approve or disapprove permits and (2) providing that these time limits may be extended once (and only once) by agreement between the parties.
The time limits to hold a public hearing are triggered upon notice by the applicant of intent to invoke the Act. Alternatively, an applicant can seek the issuance of a writ of mandate to hold the require public hearings. Government Code §65950. If a local agency fails to approve or disapprove the permit within the required time limits, the permit is subject to being "deemed approved." Government Code § 65956(b). A deemed-approved permit confers the same privileges and entitlements as a regularly issued permit. Ciani v. San Diego Trust & Savings Commission, 233 Cal. App. 3d 1604, 1613, 285 Cal. Rptr. 699, 705 (1991); and WHEREAS, under CMC §20.84.550, the City Council may, on its own, initiate a public hearing on a Development Agreement with or without the recommendation of the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, under CMC §20.08.020, the City Council has the authority to "Act as the appeal body of the Planning Commission."
"Hear and act" upon applications for development agreements and other matters listed in Table 20.84-1, which include conditional use permits, development review permits etc. such as the ones sought by VM Evergreen, Starcraft and Staple Room; and WHEREAS, under CMC §20.84.160, "any person dissatisfied with an interpretation or action of the Approving Authority may appeal such action to the Appeal Authority ...".
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
That the above Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated as though fully set forth 913 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1586 of 3559
herein.
SECTION 2. THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS INSTRUCTED TO
IMMEDIATELY COMPLETE ITS PUBLIC MEETING ON THE APPLICATION
BY STARCRAFT, LLC FOR A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND A

WHEREAS, each of the applications has been pending since December 2017; and WHEREAS, the City has received written correspondence from representatives for VM Evergreen, LLC, Starcraft, LLC and Staple Room, LLC requesting that the City Council hold an immediate hearing on their applications for a Commercial Cannabis Facility permit and a Development Agreement. The representatives complain that the Planning Commission’s failure to timely act on their applications was for no legitimate land-use reason and its continuation of a decision on the matter to an unspecified future hearing date is an unjustified delay in the processing of the CCF permits and Development Agreements resulting in substantial injury and significant competitive disadvantage. The Planning Commission’s failure to act has also placed their projects in jeopardy of losing state issued cannabis licenses. Under such circumstances, the Planning Commission’s indecision and/or purposeful delay has resulted in a defacto denial of the applications for development permits without expressed findings of facts as required by law; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission is a five member body. CMC §2.36.010(2).
Three Commissioners shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. CMC §2.36.010(8). The principal duty of the Planning Commission is to make recommendations to 920 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1593 of 3559
5 the City Council on various planning and land use matters. CMC §2.36.010(10). City law requires that the Commission "shall hold at least one regular meeting each month at such time and place as it shall fix by resolution." CMC §2.36.010(6); and WHEREAS, on November 19, 2018, only three of the Commissioners were present at the November 19, 2018 commission meeting. Two Commissioners were not present at the public hearing and, therefore, took no part in the public discussion. One of the members in attendance is likely to be elected to the City Council and will soon no longer be a Commissioner. In the event of a continued public meeting on the applications, the new and/or missing members then in attendance will have no personal knowledge of what transpired at the November 19, 2018 public hearing. At the present time, there is no regular or special meeting set for the month of December 2018; and
WHEREAS, the Permit Streamlining Act ("PSA") is a state law enacted in 1977 to expedite the processing of permits for development projects. See, Government Code §65921.
The PSA achieves this goal by (1) setting forth various time limits within which state and local government agencies must either approve or disapprove permits and (2) providing that these time limits may be extended once (and only once) by agreement between the parties.
The time limits to hold a public hearing are triggered upon notice by the applicant of intent to invoke the Act. Alternatively, an applicant can seek the issuance of a writ of mandate to hold the require public hearings. Government Code §65950. If a local agency fails to approve or disapprove the permit within the required time limits, the permit is subject to being "deemed approved." Government Code § 65956(b). A deemed-approved permit confers the same privileges and entitlements as a regularly issued permit. Ciani v. San Diego Trust & Savings Commission, 233 Cal. App. 3d 1604, 1613, 285 Cal. Rptr. 699, 705 (1991); and WHEREAS, under CMC §20.84.550, the City Council may, on its own, initiate a public hearing on a Development Agreement with or without the recommendation of the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, under CMC §20.08.020, the City Council has the authority to "Act as the appeal body of the Planning Commission."
"Hear and act" upon applications for development agreements and other matters listed in Table 20.84-1, which include conditional use permits, development review permits etc. such as the ones sought by VM Evergreen, Starcraft and Staple Room; and WHEREAS, under CMC §20.84.160, "any person dissatisfied with an interpretation or action of the Approving Authority may appeal such action to the Appeal Authority ...".
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS
That the above Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated as though fully set forth 921 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1594 of 3559
6 herein.
SECTION 2. A PROPERLY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING ON THE
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THE CANNABIS FACILITY PERMIT
HAS ALREADY BEEN HELD AND CLOSED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION
Based on the above Recitals, the City Council finds and determines that a properly noticed public hearing by the Planning Commission has already been held and closed as required by law and, therefore, this matter may now be set for public hearing before this City Council. There is nothing in the record that indicates that Planning Commission continued the public hearing portion of the November 19, 2018 meeting.
SECTION 3. THE PLANNING COMMISSION’S CONTINUATION OF ITS
DECISION ON THE APPLICATION FOR A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
AND A CANNABIS FACILITY PERMIT WAS UNJUSTIFIED AND MAY
EXPOSE THE CITY TO UNNECESSARY LITIGATION
Based on the above Recitals, the City Council finds and determines that the Planning Commission’s continuation of its decision on the application for a Development Agreement and a Cannabis Facility Permit to an unspecified future date was unjustified and is in effect a defacto denial of the application without expressed findings of fact as required by law. Such indecision could expose the City to unnecessary and avoidable litigation from the applicants if not acted upon promptly.
SECTION 4. THE CITY MANAGER IS DIRECTED TO PROCEED WITH
THE PROCESSING OF THE APPLICATION BY STARCRAFT, LLC FOR A
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND A CANNABIS FACILITY PERMIT
DIRECTLY BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
Based on the above Recitals, the City Council grants the Applicant’s request for an immediate hearing directly before the City Council on its application for a Development Agreement and a Cannabis Facility Permit. Alternatively, this matter will be heard on the City Council’s own initiative.
The City Manager is directed to immediately proceed with the processing of the application for initial consideration by the City Council in a properly noticed public hearing. The City Manager shall also notify the Planning Commission that the City Council still welcomes their input on the applications and that nothing herein shall prevent the Planning Commission from making a formal recommendation to the City Council on the matter, provided such meeting and decision takes place on or before December 17, 2018. Thereafter, if no further action has been taken by the Planning Commission, this matter shall be deemed denied by the Planning Commission and transferred to the City Council for all purposes and the applications will no longer be pending before that body. This resolution shall take effect upon adoption.
SECTON 5. SEVERABILITY
That the City Council declares that, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence or 922 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1595 of 3559
7 word of this Resolution be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences or words of this Resolution as hereby adopted shall remain in full force and effect.

COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF CUDAHY AND
STARCRAFT, LLC
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this __________ day of ________________, 2018, (the “Execution Date”), by and between the CITY OF CUDAHY, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and STARCRAFT, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Owner") authorized to do business in the State of California. City and Owner are sometimes referenced together herein as the “Parties.” In instances when a provision hereof applies to each of the Parties individually, either may be referenced as a “Party.” The Parties hereby jointly render the following statement as to the background facts and circumstances underlying this Agreement.
RECITALS
A. The State of California enacted California Government Code Sections 65864 et seq. (“Development Agreement Statutes”) to authorize municipalities to enter into development agreements with those having an interest in real property to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development in connection with the development of real property within their jurisdiction.
B. The purpose of the Development Agreement Statutes is to authorize municipalities, in their discretion, to establish certain development rights in real property for a period of years regardless of intervening changes in land use regulations, to vest 930 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1603 of 3559
certain rights in the Owner, and to meet certain public purposes of the local government.
C. As authorized by the Development Agreement Statutes, the City has adopted Municipal Code Chapter 20.28 (Development Agreements) establishing the procedures and requirements for the consideration of development agreements with the City.
D. Owner currently holds a legal or equitable interest in real property considered in this Agreement which has a development area approximately 10,649 square feet located at 4925 Cecilia Street, City of Cudahy, State of California (the “Site”). The Site includes Assessor’s Parcel Number: 6224-024-008, and is more fully described in Exhibit A and shown on the map in Exhibit B. Both exhibits being attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
E. Presently, Owner has a leased interest in a portion of the Site for the purpose of medicinal cannabis related activities which shall include, but not be limited to, facilities where cannabis is planted, grown, harvested, dried, cured, graded, trimmed, extracted, manufactured into cannabis products, distributed, or transported sold not as a store-front retail dispensary, or that does all or any combination of those activities (“Medicinal Cannabis”). Such Medicinal Cannabis facilities shall operate in accordance with all applicable provisions of Business and Professions Code §§26000-26231.2; California Health and Safety Code Safety Code §§ 11357-11362.9 and 11362.7- 11362.85; Revenue and Taxation Code §§ 34010-34021.5; Vehicle Code §§ 2429.7 and 23222; Water Code §§ 1831, 1847, and 13276; and the City of Cudahy Municipal Code as it applies to such facilities (collectively the “California Cannabis Laws”). Prior to operating a medicinal cannabis cultivation facility, Owner shall be required to obtain a Medicinal Commercial Cannabis Permit from the City pursuant to City Ordinance No. 673.
F. Ultimately, Owner intends upon obtaining a state license issued, pursuant to California Cannabis Laws, to operate a medicinal commercial cannabis or adult use facility at the Site. The definition of "Owner" hereunder shall mean and refer to the fee simple owner and/or any authorized tenant of the Site to the extent such party holds or is covered by a Regulatory Permit. In the event the City of Cudahy permits adult use cannabis commercial activity, Owner shall receive priority processing for any corresponding City permits for the same to the extent authorized by law.
G. On December 4, 2017 Owner applied to this City for a Medicinal Cannabis Cultivation Permit (hereinafter "Regulatory Permit”) to conduct Medicinal Commercial Cannabis Activities. No such activities are permitted without a Development Agreement within or outside the boundaries set forth in the Overlay Zone/Permit Area illustrated in Exhibit “A” to City Ordinance No. 673.
931 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1604 of 3559
H. Owner presently intends to develop and open a medicinal marijuana facility on the Site consistent with the California Cannabis Laws and Project Approvals (known as the “Project”). The Project may include the cultivation of products of medicinal cannabis for delivery to other legally permitted persons and entities under the California Cannabis Laws (“licensed persons”), who operate retail dispensary outlets or other licensed facilities under the California Cannabis Laws, but would not include the dispensing or sale of Cannabis Products at the Project Site without further authorization by the City.
I. The proposed project includes a Commercial Cannabis Permit, which is a type of conditional use permit, to allow for a Commercial Cannabis Facility and a Development Agreement (DA) for commercial cannabis activities including cultivation within an existing, currently vacant, approximately 10,649 square foot industrial building. The site is currently developed with one commercial building. The proposed project will be built in one phase and includes the following commercial cannabis activities:
• Cultivation: The cultivation area consists of a 77 square foot lobby, a 77 square foot locker and break room, a 52 square foot unisex restroom, a 47 square foot security office, a 59 square foot mechanical room, a 33 square foot vault room, a 116 square foot water reservoir room, a 156 square foot mother plant room, a 573 square foot clone room, three (3) flower rooms totaling 5,399 square feet, a 1,084 square foot veg room, a 375 square foot trim and dry room, and a 678 square foot shipping and receiving area. The proposed facility includes a total of 7,587 square feet of production space and 3,062 square feet of total premises space.
• General Business Offices: The facilities office hours will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., 5 days a week and facility operations will be 24 hours, with approximately ten (10) employees per shift.
Parking/Loading/Access: The proposed project provides 12 parking spaces, including 2 accessible van spaces. Loading will take place on-site. Vehicular access to the site will be through an existing driveway on Cecelia Street. Within the site, access to the structure will be through the secured front office entrance. The project complies with the CAL Green Tier 1 by incorporating stormwater pollution prevention measures, installing energy- and water-efficient equipment, and planting native and drought-tolerant landscaping at the front of the property.
Security: The project will secure the facility against unauthorized entry by installing security lights on the exterior of the building to illuminate the side yards and parking area, installing commercial-grade locks, installing an alarm and video surveillance system, establishing procedures for identifying authorized persons, establish inventory controls, and install a secure surveillance vault to maintain the integrity of records. In 932 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1605 of 3559
addition, the applicant will engage a licensed security company to provide an operational security plan in compliance with Ordinance 673.
Starcraft LLC will employ approximately 10 employees. As a term of the Development Agreement with the City, the facility must offer 50% of the employment opportunities to City residents. This will result in at least five (5) jobs in the City. Currently, the site offers no employment opportunities to residents or otherwise, as the facility is vacant.
The existing industrial building is located on a 30,112 square foot lot, which is unmaintained with no landscaping. With the façade and site improvements proposed by the applicant, the site would include a new security fence with lighting, 24-hour security cameras, 100 square feet of new landscaping area, various tenant improvements, and parking lot upgrades. All development will be consistent with the City’s proposed design and landscaping guidelines.
Starcraft LLC has agreed to provide living wages, full-time employment, and medical benefits to their employees, as a term of their development agreement with the City. In addition to employment and other economic opportunities, Starcraft LLC would further the City’s beautification efforts by providing on-site improvements, extensive landscaping, and enhance the security measures to the facility. Starcraft LLC has demonstrated to the City that they are an exemplary corporate partner and would be dedicated to meeting the goals of the City and community. [ ] Co-location, check if applicable:
Note MAUCRSA now authorizes a person to apply for and be issued more than one State license at one location provided the licensed premises are separate and distinct. See also, Cudahy Municipal Code Section 5.20.050(b)(2).
Owner has applied for one [1] license(s):
1) Cultivation
J. On September 11, 2017, the City adopted Ordinance No. 673 permitting Certain Medicinal Commercial Cannabis Activities in strict compliance with the California Cannabis Laws under specified conditions and provisions. A referendum petition was circulated for signatures; however, on November 1, 2017, the County Clerk for the County of Los Angeles determined that the referendum lacked sufficient signatures to delay the effective date of Ordinance No. 673. The City has recently been presented with a citizen initiative to repeal Ordinance 673 and ban all marijuana uses in all zones.
Applicant is advised to consult with legal counsel on this matter. 933 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1606 of 3559
K. All procedures of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), California Public Resources Code §21000 et seq., and the CEQA guidelines, title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, chapter 3, §15000 et seq. have been satisfied.
L. The City has given public notice of its intention to adopt this Agreement and has conducted public hearings thereon pursuant to California Government Code §65867.
The City has found that the provisions of this Agreement and its purposes are consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in City’s General Plan, zoning code and municipal ordinances.

Upon request by City, Owner shall make all such books, records and documents available to the City Manager, his designee, or to the City approved auditor, and provide 949 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1622 of 3559
removable copies thereof, within thirty (30) of the date of City’s request.
Owner shall pay all costs of such audits. Owner shall preserve such books, records, documents, and other items in Cudahy for a period of not less than one (1) years for the purpose of auditing or re-auditing these accounts upon reasonable notice; except that, if an audit is made within the seven-year period and Owner claims that errors or omissions have occurred, the books and records shall be retained and made available until those matters are resolved. City shall keep strictly confidential all statements of revenue furnished by Owner and all other information concerning Owner’s operation of the Premises obtained by City as a result of the inspection audit and examination privileges of City hereunder, except as otherwise required by law. If City receives a request for such information pursuant to the Public Records Act (California Government Code Section 6250, et seq.), City shall provide Owner notice of any such request prior to disclosing any such information and afford Owner the opportunity to obtain a protective order. Within seven (7) years after the receipt of any statement of receipts under this Agreement, City at any time shall be entitled to carry out an audit of such revenue either by City or agent to be designated by City. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that there has been a deficiency in any payment due under this Agreement made on the basis of such statement, then such deficiency shall become immediately due and payable within thirty (30) days of such determination.
1) Copies of Tax Filings. Owner shall provide the City with courtesy copies of each and every report Owner is required to provide to the County of Los Angeles or the State of California for sales, use, or other tax purposes at the time such filings are made.
b. Future Revenue Mechanisms. During the term of this Agreement, if the City imposes (by Citizen Initiative or otherwise) an alternative revenue mechanism specifically related to cannabis operations (e.g., a cannabis tax), Owner agrees to renegotiate in good faith the terms of this Development Agreement with the City so as to comply with an alternative revenue mechanism.
As used in this section, “alternative revenue mechanism” does not include taxes, fees, or assessments levied on or collected from both medicinal cannabis and non-cannabis operations.

contractor’s or subcontractor’s employees, unless such employees are covered by the protection afforded by Owner. In case any class of employee engaged in work on the Project is not protected under any workers’ compensation law, Owner shall provide and shall cause each contractor and subcontractor to provide adequate insurance for the protection of employees not otherwise protected. Owner hereby indemnifies City for any damage resulting from failure of Owner, its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors to take out or maintain such insurance.

contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees in connection with the construction, improvement, or operation of the Project.
11. Termination
a. Termination Upon End of Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the term, unless it is terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, City shall record a notice of such termination and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
b. Effect of Termination on Owner’s Obligations. Termination of this Agreement shall eliminate any further obligation of Owner to comply with this Agreement, or some portion thereof, if such termination relates to only part of the Site or Project.

c. Effect of Termination on City’s Obligations. Termination of this Agreement shall eliminate any further obligation of City to comply with this Agreement, or some portion thereof. Termination of this Agreement shall not, however, eliminate the rights of City to seek any applicable and available remedies or damages based upon acts or omissions occurring before termination. d.

The rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 15, Article 21, and Section 23(e), Section 23(f), and Section 23(h), and any right or obligation of the Parties in this Agreement which, by its express terms or nature and context is intended to survive termination of this Agreement, will survive any such termination.
12. Resources Efficiency
Owner shall endeavor to reduce its environmental impact when possible. The design of the facility shall include reasonable water and energy conservation measures in accordance with applicable State regulations.
13. Standard Conditions for Construction
During any on-site construction activities related to development of the project site and any buildings thereon, or renovation or remodeling of existing buildings, Owner shall comply with all applicable terms and conditions of City’s Standard Conditions for 953 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1626 of 3559
Construction, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit F. The Project shall comply with the applicable parking standards established by the City for cannabis activities.
14. Defaults and Remedies
a. Remedies in general. It is acknowledged by the parties that City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof, except as hereinafter expressly provided. Subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, failure to delay by either party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement beyond a reasonable notice and cure period shall constitute a default. In the event of alleged default or breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the party alleging such default or breach shall give the other party not less than thirty (30) day notice in writing specifying the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may be satisfactorily cured during any such thirty (30) day period, the party charged shall not be considered in default for purposes of termination or institution of legal proceedings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the alleged default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the alleged defaulting party shall not be deemed in default as long as such party commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
After notice and expiration of the thirty (30) day period, the other party to this Agreement, at its option, may institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement.
In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that City shall not be liable in monetary damages, unless expressly provided for this Agreement, to Owner, to any mortgagee or lender, or to any successors in interest of Owner or mortgagee or lender, or to any other person, and Owner covenants on behalf of itself and all successors in interest to the Property or any portion thereof, not to sue for damages or claim any damages. 1) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
2) For the impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under, with, or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without 954 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1627 of 3559
limitation, any impairment or restriction which Owner characterizes as a regulatory taking or inverse condemnation; or
3) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall modify or abridge Owner’s rights or remedies (including its rights for damages, if any) resulting from the exercise by City of its power of eminent domain. Nothing contained herein shall modify or abridge Owner’s rights or remedies (including its rights for damages, if any) resulting from bad faith intentional acts, the grossly negligent or malicious acts of City and its officials, officers, agents and employees. Nothing herein shall modify or abridge any defenses or immunities available to City and its employees pursuant to the Government Liability Act and all other applicable statutes and decisional law.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph relating to eminent domain, Owner’s remedies shall be limited to those set forth in this Section 14(a), Section 14(b), and Section 14(c).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, City covenants as provided in Civil Code Section 3300 not to sue for or claim any consequential damages or, in the event all or a portion of the Property is not developed, for lost profits or revenues which would have accrued to City as a result of the development of the Property.
b. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law are inadequate, and specific performance and other nonmonetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
1) Except as provided in Sections 14(a) and 14(e), money damages are unavailable against City as provided in Section 14(a) above. 2) Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Owner may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to use the Property or portions thereof. Owner has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon 955 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1628 of 3559
the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Owner for such efforts; the parties acknowledge and agree that any injunctive relief may be ordered on an expedited, priority basis.
c. Release. Except for those remedies set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), and 14(c), Owner, for itself, its successors and assignees, hereby releases City, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, based or asserted, pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
Owner acknowledges that it may have suffered, or may suffer, damages and other injuries that are unknown to it, or unknowable to it, at the time of its execution of this Agreement. Such fact notwithstanding, Owner agrees that the release provided in this Section 14(c) shall apply to such unknown or unknowable claims and damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner acknowledges the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provide:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
Owner hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and all other statutes and judicial decisions of similar effect.
Owners’ Initials
d. Termination of Agreement for Default of City. Owner may terminate this Agreement in the event of a default by City in the performance of a material term of this Agreement and only after providing written notice to City of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by City to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, City has failed to take such actions and cure such default within sixty (60) days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such sixty 956 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1629 of 3559
(60) day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such sixty (60) day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Owner deem it is necessary and/or advisable to cease operations in Cudahy, then Owner may terminate this Agreement, and such termination shall be effective upon the date of written notice to the City.
e. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action or proceeding between City and Owner brought to interpret or enforce this Agreement, or which in any way arises out of the existence of this Agreement or is based upon any term or provision contained herein, the “prevailing party” in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, in addition to all other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, in an amount to be determined by the court. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032. Fees and costs recoverable pursuant to this Section 14(e) include those incurred during any appeal from an underlying judgment and in the enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.
f. Owner Default. No building permit shall be issued or building permit application accepted for any structure on the Property after Owner is determined by City to be in default of the terms and conditions of this Agreement until such default thereafter is cured by Owner or is waived by City. If City terminates this Agreement because of Owner’s default, then City shall retain any and all benefits, including money or land received by City hereunder.
15. Third Party Litigation
a. General Plan Litigation. City has determined that this Agreement is consistent with its General Plan. Owner has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with City’s determination.
City shall have no liability under this Agreement or otherwise for any failure of City to perform under this Agreement, or for the inability of Owner to develop the Property as contemplated by the Agreement, which failure to perform or inability to develop is as the result of a judicial determination that the General Plan, or portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law, or that this Agreement or any of City’s actions in adopting it were invalid, inadequate, or not in compliance with the law.
957 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1630 of 3559
b. Hold Harmless Agreement. Owner hereby agrees to, and shall hold City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees harmless from any liability for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property damage which may arise from Owner or Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees’ operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, or by any one or more persons directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for Owner or any of Owner’s contractors or subcontractors. Owner agrees to and shall defend City and its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents and employees from any suits or actions at law or in equity for damage caused, or alleged to have been caused, by reason of any of the aforesaid operations. c. Indemnification. Owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City and its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees against and from any and all liabilities, demands, claims, actions or proceedings and costs and expenses incidental thereto (including costs of defense, settlement and reasonable attorneys’ fees), which any or all of them may suffer, incur, be responsible for or pay out as a result of or in connection with any challenge to the legality, validity or adequacy of any of the following: (i) this Agreement and the concurrent and subsequent permits, licenses and entitlements approved for the Project or Property; (ii) the environmental impact report, mitigated negative declaration or negative declaration, as the case may be, prepared in connection with the development of the Property; (iii) any claims based on or alleging inverse condemnation by any person or entity with an interest in the Property; and (iv) the proceedings undertaken in connection with the adoption or approval of any of the above. In the event of any legal or equitable action or other proceeding instituted by any third party (including a governmental entity or official) challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement or any portion thereof as set forth herein, the parties shall mutually cooperate with each other in defense of said action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the above, City, at is sole option, may tender the complete defense of any third-party challenge as described herein. In the event City elects to contract with special counsel to provide for such a defense, City shall meet and confer with Owner regarding the selection of counsel, and Owner shall pay all costs related to retention of such counsel. 958 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1631 of 3559
d. Environmental Contamination. Owner shall indemnify and hold City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees free and harmless from any liability, based or asserted, upon any act or omission of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and independent contractors, excepting and acts or omissions of City as successor to any portions of the Property dedicated or transferred to City by Owner, for any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under or about the Property, including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions, and Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, City, its officers, agents and employees in any action based or asserted upon any such alleged act or omission. City may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding.
The provisions of this Section 15(d) do not apply to environmental conditions that predate Owner’s ownership or control of the Property or applicable portion; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not operate to bar, limit or modify any of Owner’s statutory or equitable obligations as an owner or seller of the Property.
e. City to Approve Counsel. With respect to Sections 15(a) through 15(d), City reserves the right to approve the attorney(s) which Owner selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend City hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
f. Accept Reasonable Good Faith Settlement. With respect to Article 15, City shall not reject any reasonable good faith settlement. If City does reject a reasonable, good faith settlement that is acceptable to Owner, Owner may enter into a settlement of the action, as it relates to Owner, and City shall thereafter defend such action (including appeals) at its own cost and be solely responsible for any judgment rendered in connection with such action. This Section 15(f) applies exclusively to settlements pertaining to monetary damages or damages which are remedial by the payment of monetary compensation. Owner and City expressly agree that this Section 15(f) does not apply to any settlement that requires an exercise of City’s police powers, limits City’s exercise of its police powers, or affects the conduct of City’s municipal operations. g. Survival. The provisions of Sections 15(a) through 15(f) inclusive, shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
16. California Environmental Quality Act
959 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1632 of 3559
Owner shall reimburse City for any and all costs incurred by City related to project review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code, §§21000-21189.3, and the Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §§15000-15387. If reasonably requested by City, Owner shall conduct and pay for any required CEQA reviews and analyses. The City has found that the proposed Project is Categorically Exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements under provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. This exemption applies to projects characterized as alterations to existing facilities meeting the conditions described in Section 15301.
17. Rules, Regulations, and Official Policies
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rules, regulations, and official policies of City governing permitted uses of the land, governing density, and governing the design, improvements, and construction standards and specifications applicable to the development of the Project subject of this Agreement, shall be those rules, regulations, and official policies of City in force at the time of the execution of this Agreement. This Agreement does not prevent City, in subsequent actions applicable to the property, from applying new rules, regulations, and policies which do not conflict with those rules, regulations, and policies applicable to the property as set forth herein, nor does this Agreement prevent City from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development project application based on such existing or new rules, regulations, or policies.
18. Regulatory Permit Conditions of Approval
Owner shall comply with all conditions of approval of the Regulatory Permit approved by City Council.
19. Periodic Reviews
This Agreement shall be subject to annual review. Owner and Landlord executing this Agreement, or successor in interest thereto, shall demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If, as a result of such periodic review, City finds and determines, based on substantial evidence, that Owner or Landlord executing this Agreement, or successor in interest thereto, has not complied in good faith with the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City may terminate or modify this Agreement (except no modification shall increase Owner’s liability nor reduce Owner’s rights), provided that City shall first provide Owner notice of its intent to terminate, with a detailed explanation as to why, and provide Owner the reasonable right to cure the same.
960 of 1055 ATTACHMENT E Page 1633 of 3559
a. Periodic Review
Owner shall submit an annual review and administration fee deposit not to exceed City’s estimated internal and third-party costs associated with the review and administration of this Agreement during the succeeding year, consistent with Section 23(k) (“Deposit with City”) below. City shall provide Owner said estimate a reasonable time in advance of the annual review and administration fee deposit being due.
. City Council shall review this Agreement annually, on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date, in order to ascertain Owner’s good faith compliance with this Agreement. During the periodic review Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement, through submitting an annual monitoring report, records, or equivalent written materials to the Planning Department. The Planning Department will schedule a hearing on the periodic review of the Development Agreement on or following the anniversary of the Effective Date, but Owner has no obligation to compel such hearing, and no implication will be made to Owner’s detriment if a hearing is not in fact held. Owner shall document any request for an extension of the term due to delays beyond the control of Owner (see Section 23(j), “Force Majeure”). b. Conditional Use Permit. For all intents and purposes, the Regulatory Permit to be issued under this Agreement shall be treated as if it were a Conditional Use Permit issued to Owner for the establishment and operation of its business.

The decision of City Council shall be final, subject only to judicial review pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5. e. Certificate of Agreement Compliance.

it, City shall issue a Certificate of Agreement Compliance (“Certificate”) to Owner stating that after the most recent periodic or special review, and based upon the information known or made known to the Planning Director and City Council, that (i) this Agreement remains in effect and (ii) Owner is not in default.
City shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the periodic or special review, but was concealed from or otherwise not known to the Planning Director and City Council, regardless of whether the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or Owner.
f. Failure to Conduct Review. City’s failure to conduct a periodic review of this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. g. Cost of Review. The costs incurred by City in connection with the periodic reviews shall be borne by Owner.
20. Assignment
Assignment by Owner. Owner shall not transfer, delegate, sublet or assign its interest, rights, duties, and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

b. At such time as the State of California requires commercial cannabis facilities and businesses to hold a valid license or permit issued by the State of California, it also holds such license or permit, unless, however, such permit or license is not required by the State of California for the type of commercial cannabis facility or business operation that is the subject of this Agreement.

The parties shall cooperate with each other and undertake such reasonable actions as may be appropriate to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect and is implemented in accordance with its terms and to the fullest extent permitted by state or federal law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, site improvements contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed pursuant to the development standards and design guidelines to be adopted by the zoning code amendment.
d. Joint and Several Liability. Owner shall be jointly and severally liable for any amount due under this Agreement, and any breach of this Agreement or failure to pay by one Party shall also constitute a breach of this Agreement by the other Party.
e. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to conflict with applicable state laws or regulations, such part shall be inoperative, null, and void insofar as it conflicts with said laws or regulations, or modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state laws or regulations, but the remainder of this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect. f. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be by actual, facsimile, or electronic signature.
g. Jurisdiction. The law governing this Agreement shall be that of the State of California. Any suit brought by any party against any other party arising out of the performance of this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, shall be filed and maintained in the County of Los Angeles Superior Court.

h. Disclaimer. Despite California’s commercial cannabis laws and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Conditional Use Permit, or any Regulatory Permit issued pertaining to Owner or the property specified herein, California commercial cannabis cultivators, transporters, distributors, or possessors may still be subject to arrest by state or federal officers and prosecuted under state or federal law. The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC § 801, prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession of cannabis without any exemptions for medical use.
i. Force Majeure. If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of Owner, such delays will entitle Owner to an extension of time as provided in this section. Such unforeseen events (“Force Majeure”) shall mean war, insurrection, acts of God, local, state or national emergencies, strikes and other labor difficulties beyond the party’s control, or any default by City hereunder, which Force Majeure event substantially interferes with the development, construction or operation of the Project.
j. Costs and Fees. Intentionally omitted.
k. Constructive Notice and Acceptance.
