Upon the City’s request, Grantee shall (and shall cause its contractors and subcontractors of any tier to) maintain and provide certified payroll records and other documentation reasonably necessary to verify compliance with this section, and failure to timely provide such documentation constitutes a material breach subject to Section 5.
SECTION 2. TERM.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms, covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth in Section 6 & the general provisions in Section 7 shall survive the termination and expiration of this Agreement.
b. Regulatory Agreement. As consideration for the Grant Funds, Grantee(s) agrees to be bound by the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Regulatory Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” which shall be recorded in the Official Records of the County of Riverside as a condition precedent to the City’s disbursement of the Grant Funds.
SECTION 3. PROJECT TIMELINE.
a. Design Approval. After the City has approved the final scope of work for the Project, Grantee(s) shall submit to the City the design plans for the Project. Grantee(s) shall not undertake any improvement until the design for the Project has been submitted to and approved by the City.

It is within the City Manager’s sole and absolute discretion to grant such extension.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Manager reserves the right to provide any length of extension as may be necessary and reasonable for the completion of the Project. e. Documentation. Upon completion of the work, the Grantee(s) shall submit to the City proof of all incurred expenses, including payments made to contractors and subcontractors,

final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors, and an executed Regulatory Agreement signed by both Owner and Lessee (where applicable) as referenced in Section 2. f. Completion Date and Final Inspection. Upon receipt of the documentation set forth in Section 3(e), the City shall perform a final inspection to verify that construction is completed per approved plans and specifications. If approved and the requirement for a Certificate of Occupancy is satisfied, the City shall issue the Certificate of Occupancy to the Grantee(s) certifying that the Project has been completed, which formally authorizes the space to be occupied and open for business operations. The Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued unless:
(1) All construction work meets applicable building codes and safety requirements;
(2) The business owner has obtained all required permits, including a permit for permanent signage (temporary banners do not satisfy this requirement); and
(3) All other municipal requirements for business operation have been satisfied. g. Progress Payments and Final Reimbursement. At the City Manager's sole discretion, progress payments may be authorized based on successful completion of specific inspection milestones. Such milestone agreement shall be established after the Grantee(s) submits design plans for the Project and proposed milestone schedule, and must be approved in writing by both the City Manager and Grantee(s).
(1) Progress Payment Reimbursement Plan Requirements: Any progress payments shall:
(i) Not exceed 80% of total eligible expenses incurred to date; (ii) Require submission of paid invoices and lien waivers for completed work; (iii) Be subject to successful City inspection of the completed milestone; and (iv) Be contingent upon the Project's continued progress toward obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy.
(2) Final Payment: Regardless of reimbursement method selected, the final payment or, in the case of milestone reimbursement, the remaining Grant Funds (minimum 20% of total grant amount) shall be disbursed within thirty (30) days only upon:
(i) Issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy;
(ii) Submission of all final documentation including invoices and final lien waivers; and
(iii) Compliance with all terms of this Agreement.
h. Repayment Obligation: If (i) the Project remains incomplete and fails to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy within the timeframe specified in this Agreement (including any
19.B.
4921-6384-5994.1 Page 6 of 19

approved extensions) Grantee(s) or responsible party shall reimburse the City for all progress payments made, or (ii) the business ceases operations within two (2) years after the Completion Date, Grantee(s) or responsible party shall reimburse the City and the repayment amount shall be prorated based on the number of months remaining in the two (2) year period. All repayment obligations shall be secured by the recorded Regulatory Agreement. As between Owner and Lessee only, repayment liability shall be allocated in accordance with Section 6(a), provided, the City may enforce repayment against either or both.
SECTION 4. MONITORING.
The City has a right to periodically review the progress of work for the Project. Such inspections shall not replace any required permit inspection by Building Inspectors. All work that is not in conformance with the approved plans, design drawings, and specifications shall be immediately remedied by the Grantee(s). Grant Funds shall not be used to reimburse costs associated with correcting, replacing, or remedying any deficient or improper work, and such corrections shall be completed at the sole cost and expense of the responsible party.
SECTION 5. TERMINATION BY CITY.
The City may terminate this Agreement, immediately, if the Owner or Lessee (where applicable) fails to comply with their respective obligations as set forth in this Agreement, or if any party submits documentation that is incomplete, incorrect, or falsified. Notice of termination shall be given by the City to the Owner and Lessee (if applicable) by certified mail to the address listed above. Upon the date such notice is mailed, this Agreement shall terminate and the financial obligations on the part of the City shall cease and become null and void:
1.

The notice shall specify the nature of the default and required cure actions.
2. If the Lessee cures an Owner’s default, the Lessee may seek reimbursement from the Owner and/or offset such costs against rent payments, subject to applicable laws.
3. If the Owner cures a Lessee’s default, the Owner shall have the right to offset such costs against any rent, security deposits, or other amounts owed to the Lessee. In the event of Lessee default or early lease termination, prior to completing the two (2) year operational period from the Completion Date, (i) the grant-funded improvements shall remain with and benefit the Property with no grant benefits transferred to Lessee and (ii) the Lessee shall reimburse the City for any unamortized Grant Funds over the two (2) year period from the Completion Date, calculated proportionally based on the time remaining in the compliance period.
4. Either party may cure the other party's default to prevent termination of this Agreement and may seek reimbursement for cure costs from the defaulting party and exercise any right available under the Grantee(s)’ lease agreement, subject to

4 1. Executive Summary
The Dugout Frozen Yogurt Shoppe @ Nuke Nation Indoor Batting Cages is an innovative, hybrid sports and entertainment concept designed to serve the City of Hemet and surrounding communities. The project combines a baseball enthusiasts dream frozen yogurt shop, year-round indoor batting cages for youth training, and family friendly party rooms, all into a one-of-a-kind entertainment venue. Envisioned is a space where families and players of all ages can come together through their shared love of baseball, enjoy some delicious frozen yogurt or hit the cage for a practice session.
The facility is intended to become the first full-scale indoor batting cage operation in beautiful Downtown Hemet while creating a positive environment for community athletes, families, schools, travel ball leagues, and community organizations.
Big dreams take continuous work, and no one knows this better than families of youth players in sports. As parents we work hard for our children to be the best they can be and get the best out of life. Sports are an important means of promoting positive mental health, confidence, strength, and bonding with teammates and family units. Nuke Nation aims to increase youth recreation opportunities, reduce travel burdens for local athletes and families, generate local employment, and make our space not only a training facility or frozen yogurt shoppe, but a lively community hub, centered around family, recreation, and connection.
2. Business Concept
Proposed Facility will feature:
• Frozen yogurt and dessert shoppe
• Seating and lounge areas
• Indoor batting cages with high quality machines
• Pitching and conditioning areas
• Team events and birthday parties
• Private party rooms
• PTA events
• Local team and league sponsorships
• School vendor relationships
Mission Statement:
“Train Hard. Go Nuclear. Eat Froyo”
The Dugout @ Nuke Nation. Delicious, baseball themed froyo and an unforgettable indoor batting experience. Sharpen skills by building confidence, enjoying every moment in the cage, and attaining the ultimate goal; fueling athletic growth.
Vision:
We want to provide more than an indoor batting cage facility; it will be where youth players can work hard to better their skillset. To fight to be better than the player they were the season before. To train and stay active year-round and never give up on their passion. We want to be the premier indoor sports and desert shoppe destination in the Hemet Valley.
19.B.
5 3. Market Analysis
The City of Hemet greatly lacks frozen yogurt shops as well as a facility dedicated to indoor baseball and softball training. Families are traveling out of town in search of fun places to satisfy their sweet cravings and have family time. Local athletes are having to regularly travel to Temecula, Murrieta, and other neighboring cities to access year-round indoor training. Local athletes also travel to Perris but only find outdoor training facilities. Due to weather restrictions, many months out of the year these are not a feasible option, especially for younger players. The growing demand for organized youth sports, combined with extreme summer weather conditions, creates strong demand for an indoor climate-controlled facility. More importantly athletes will benefit from more nutritious specialty sweets in the summer heat, and frozen yogurt along with other menu options such as fruit bowls and smoothies, will satisfy exactly the lack of options in our town.
Target Customers Include:
• Families and spectators of all ages
• Youth baseball and softball athletes (5 – 16 years old) • Travel ball organizations
• Charter, middle and high school athletes (14 - 18 years old) • Recreational players of all ages
The Hemet–San Jacinto Valley is one of the fastest-growing youth sports markets in Riverside County. Based on local demographics, Little League participation rates, travel-ball participation, and school baseball programs, the realistic baseball/softball market within a 25-minute drive of Nuke Nation is approximately:
Primary Market Area
Hemet & San Jacinto
Recreation Baseball: 1,100–1,700
Recreation Softball: 400–700
Travel Ball: 300–500
High School: 250–400
Total: 2,050 – 3,300
Secondary Market Area
Winchester: 150–300 players
Homeland: 75–150 players
Valle Vista: 100–200 players
Menifee: 500–1,000 players
Perris / Nuevo: 250–500 players
19.B.
6 Overall Opportunity
The Hemet Valley contains 2,800–4,600 baseball and softball athletes within a practical driving distance of <25 minutes. Capturing even 10–15% of this market could support 300–700 recurring athletes and establish Nuke Nation as the premier indoor baseball and softball training destination in the region.

22 12. Job Creation & Economic Impact Plan
Prepared for the City of Hemet
The Dugout Froyo @ Nuke Nation is a proposed frozen yogurt dessert shoppe and family entertainment facility designed to serve athletes and community residents throughout Hemet, San Jacinto, and surrounding communities. The project will create local employment opportunities while providing a safe, year-round destination for youth sports training, and family engagement.
Phase One
During the initial opening phase, The Dugout @ Nuke Nation is expected to create approximately three jobs. These positions will focus on customer service, food service, and facility operations. After the initial phase, projections expect upwards of 10 positions to cover administration, party room attendants, cleanliness, food service, batting cage attendants, and coaching support.
General Manager (1)
Frozen Yogurt & Concessions Staff (3)
Front Desk/ Customer Service Representatives (2)
Batting Cage/ Party Room Attendants (3)
Coaches (2-4)
Local Hiring Commitment
Focus will be to prioritize hiring qualified, local residents. The facility will provide opportunities for young adults, students, coaches, and local sports enthusiasts to gain valuable work experience in customer service, food service operations, recreation management, and youth athletics.
Indirect Economic Benefits
In addition to direct employment, our facility is expected to generate increased visitor traffic to many of the nearby businesses in Downtown Hemet. Families gathering for a sweet treat, athletes attending lessons, parents waiting for their athlete at practices, birthday parties, and other special events are sure to support local restaurants, coffee shops, gymnastics and dance studios, fuel stations, retail stores, and other local businesses around town.
Future Growth Opportunities
As memberships and program participation increase, our facility will grow to create additional employment opportunities in event management, concessions, maintenance, administration, youth programming, and coaching. Future growth includes my vision of entire team sponsorships, sponsoring individual players that would otherwise not have the opportunity to play, reaching out to local schools to create awareness of the positivity and mental well-being sports offer, and lastly, opening additional locations in our beautiful valley.
19.B.
23 Nuke Nation is designed to become a positive community asset by:
• Supporting youth athletics
• Providing a frozen yogurt eatery for our city’s residents • Creating l0+ local jobs

13. Conclusion
The Dugout Frozen Yogurt Shoppe @ Nuke Nation Indoor Batting Cages represents a unique opportunity that combines recreation, athletics, entertainment, and community engagement into one innovative destination.
The competitive landscape in Hemet is defined more by absence than saturation. With no direct indoor batting cage competitors and limited integrated recreational options, The Dugout Froyo Shoppe coupled with Nuke Nation Indoor Batting Cages have a clear opportunity to establish a first-mover advantage. In meeting both social and athletic needs in one location, the business is well positioned to capture a large and currently underserved market.
The business addresses a clear market need while creating long-term value for the beautiful city of Hemet, the local families, and little league athletes following their big-league passions.

In addition to daily retail operations, Harvard House hosts a limited number of private weddings and milestone events, where our desserts are the exclusive culinary centerpiece, introducing new visitors to Downtown Hemet through meaningful life events such as weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations.
The kitchen will serve dual purposes:
1. Daily production for retail dessert sales
2. Event-based production supporting weddings, private events, and catering partnerships This hybrid model allows Harvard House to generate consistent weekday revenue while capturing high-margin event income on select dates.

STAFF REPORT

Department: Public Works
Submitted by: Noah Rau, Interim City Manager
Jilleen Ferris, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer; ☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:
Discussion and Direction Regarding the Potential Dedication and Future Reestablishment of Devonshire Avenue Between Santa Fe Street and Thompson Street RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
Provide direction and consider authorizing the Interim City Manager to pursue a dedication of Devonshire Avenue between Santa Fe Street and Thompson Street from the Hemet Unified School District (HUSD) to the City of Hemet, including preparation of a Tentative Parcel Map and Final Parcel Map necessary to facilitate the dedication, vacation of existing right-of-way, and parcel reconfiguration.
The proposed dedication would preserve and facilitate the future reestablishment of the Devonshire Avenue connection identified in the City's General Plan Circulation Element. Future design, funding, and construction of Devonshire Avenue would be subject to separate City Council consideration.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is for the City Council to consider whether to proceed with the preparation and processing of a Tentative Parcel Map and subsequent Final Parcel Map to facilitate the dedication of the Devonshire Avenue right-of-way, between Santa Fe Street and Thompson Street, from the Hemet Unified School District (HUSD) to the City of Hemet. The proposed map would also facilitate the vacation of portions of the existing Calhoun Place and Taylor Street rights-of-way and reconfigure five existing HUSD parcels into two parcels, with one parcel located north of Devonshire Avenue and one parcel located south of Devonshire Avenue.
The proposed mapping and dedication would preserve the right-of-way necessary for the potential future reestablishment of the Devonshire Avenue connection. Proceeding with the mapping process would not constitute approval of, or a commitment to, the future design, funding, or construction of the roadway.
19.C.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Prior to 1954, Devonshire Avenue provided an east-west street connection between Santa Fe Street and Thompson Street. At that time, Hemet Unified School District (HUSD) operated junior high and senior high school facilities on opposite sides of Devonshire Avenue. Due to concerns regarding students crossing the roadway between the school facilities, HUSD petitioned the City to vacate this portion of Devonshire Avenue.
On May 10, 1954, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 300 initiating proceedings to vacate and abandon Devonshire Avenue between Thompson Street and Santa Fe Street and setting a public hearing for June 14, 1954. The subject portion of Devonshire Avenue was subsequently vacated, with the underlying property becoming part of the HUSD campus.
As traffic conditions and circulation needs changed, the City later considered reestablishing the Devonshire Avenue connection. On August 8, 1972, the City Council adopted a resolution requesting that the HUSD Board of Trustees consider returning the former Devonshire Avenue right-of-way to the City for street purposes based upon recommendations contained in a City Traffic Operations Study.
The City and HUSD continued to consider restoration of the roadway in subsequent years. On August 14, 1990, and September 25, 1990, HUSD and the City adopted joint resolutions related to the future reopening of Devonshire Avenue. Through Resolutions Nos. 2849 and 2855, the parties expressed their intent to relocate school facilities by the 1993–94 school year to facilitate reopening Devonshire Avenue and address traffic circulation concerns.
In 1993, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3026, calling for City and HUSD staff and elected officials to meet and formulate a plan for the reestablishment of Devonshire Avenue and Santa Fe Street, as well as to address the planning and financing necessary for relocation of school facilities at the downtown West Valley High School campus.
Although Devonshire Avenue was not subsequently reopened, restoration of the street connection has continued to be contemplated as part of the City's long-term circulation planning.
The City and HUSD staff met on June 24, 2026, to discuss the potential dedication of the former Devonshire Avenue right-of-way to the City and the property and mapping actions necessary to facilitate the dedication. These discussions included preparation of a Tentative Parcel Map and subsequent Final Parcel Map, vacation of portions of existing Calhoun Place and Taylor Street rightsof-way, and reconfiguration of HUSD's existing parcels.
The proposed dedication would preserve the right-of-way necessary for the potential future reestablishment of Devonshire Avenue between Santa Fe Street and Thompson Street. The dedication and associated parcel mapping would not authorize or commit the City to the design, funding, or construction of the roadway, which would be subject to separate City Council consideration and approval.
DISCUSSION:
The immediate objective of the proposed mapping process is to establish City ownership of the rightof-way necessary for the future Devonshire Avenue connection. The mapping action would not constitute approval of roadway construction. Rather, it would complete the underlying property
19.C.
actions necessary to preserve and ultimately implement the connection identified in the City's General Plan Circulation Element.
Based upon the existing school site shown in Attachment 1, it was decided that a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) and Final Parcel Map (FPM) would be best to dedicate Devonshire Avenue and vacate existing right-of-way within the southerly HUSD property, which is designated as the area shown in red on Attachment 1. The area shown in blue is the area of Devonshire Avenue that would be dedicated by HUSD. The two areas outlined in yellow would each become one parcel, resulting in two HUSD owned parcels.
If the City ultimately proceeds with construction of Devonshire Avenue, responsibility for the design and construction of the roadway and associated public improvements would rest with the City. The scope, timing, estimated cost, and funding source for those improvements have not yet been determined and would be subject to future analysis and City Council consideration.. HUSD has agreed to provide area either on the north or south side (or both) for the necessary water quality improvements that would be required as part of the roadway construction project. The southerly parcel would remain under HUSD ownership following completion of the proposed parcel map. HUSD could retain the property for its purposes or, subject to applicable requirements governing disposition of school district property, consider the property for future disposition and development.
Reestablishing Devonshire Avenue would restore an east-west connection between Santa Fe Street and Thompson Street and improve connectivity within the City's local street network. The connection would provide an additional route for distributing local traffic and improve circulation options within the surrounding area. Its inclusion in the General Plan Circulation Element reflects the City's long-term determination that the connection is an important component of the planned transportation network.
Staff is requesting the City Council provide direction to the City Manager regarding whether to proceed with preparation of the Tentative Parcel Map and Final Parcel Map and associated coordination with HUSD to establish the Devonshire Avenue right-of-way. Proceeding with these actions would advance implementation of the circulation network identified in the City's General Plan and preserve the City's ability to construct the Devonshire Avenue connection in the future.
Authorization of the mapping and dedication process would not constitute authorization to construct the roadway. Future roadway design, environmental review, funding, and construction would be presented to the City Council separately as appropriate.

September 25, 1990 - City Council passed Resolution No. 2855 stating their joint intent with HUSD to reopen Devonshire Avenue by the 1993-94 school year.
19.C.
May 4, 1993 - City Council passed Resolution No. 3026 ordering City and HUSD staff with elected officials to meet to formulate a plan for the reinstallation of Devonshire Avenue and Santa Fe Street.

RELATING TO THE TERM, EXTENSION, AND RENEWAL OF COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
BUSINESS PERMITS
3. By minute order, direct the City Manager to prepare and present to the City Council no later than the first regular City Council meeting in January 2027 a report regarding the status of the City’s storefront retail commercial cannabis business permit program, including: (a) the development, construction, permitting, licensing, and operational status of existing storefront permittees, (b) any extensions granted or compliance agreements executed pursuant to the ordinances considered with this item, (c) any permits that have commenced operations, expired, been surrendered, revoked, or
19.D.
otherwise ceased to occupy an available storefront permit position, (d) the number of storefront retail permits then authorized and active, (e) any material issues identified through administration of the program, (f) and the City Manager’s recommendations regarding whether the City Council should authorize an additional application round for one or more storefront retail commercial cannabis business permits and whether any related procedural or policy changes should be considered.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Hemet Municipal Code establishes a local regulatory permit program for commercial cannabis businesses. As currently structured, the Code contains separate timing provisions applicable to storefront retail permits before a business has completed construction and commenced operations.
Ordinance No. 2054, adopted January 28, 2025, provided that a storefront retail commercial cannabis business permit is considered issued upon written notification by the City Manager and further provides for expiration if the permittee has not obtained a certificate of occupancy and commenced operations. The existing renewal provisions also generally require a renewal application at least 60 days before expiration and contemplate regular and continuous operation during the four months preceding a renewal application.
Several storefront permittees remain in the pre-opening development and construction process. The proposed urgency ordinance recites that one or more existing storefront permits carry a stated expiration date of October 23, 2026. Under the present Code, the City Manager lacks an express mechanism to evaluate a permittee’s construction progress and grant a limited build-out extension subject to defined milestones, financial security, cost recovery, and other enforceable conditions.
The proposed ordinances address this issue by establishing a single, conditioned build-out extension for an eligible storefront retail permittee. An extension would not be automatic. Among other requirements, the City Manager would be required to make written findings concerning the permittee’s construction progress, building permit and state license status, financial obligations to the City, regulatory compliance, and continued compliance with locational requirements and conditions of approval. Any extension would be limited to no more than 180 days, could be granted only once, and could not extend a permit beyond June 30, 2027. The permittee would also be required to enter into a compliance agreement establishing enforceable construction and opening milestones and provide performance security.
Staff recommends adopting the amendments both as an urgency ordinance and through a companion ordinance proceeding through the ordinary legislative process. The urgency ordinance would take effect immediately if adopted by the required four-fifths vote, thereby providing sufficient time to administer the extension process before the approaching permit expiration date. The companion ordinance would provide the long-term codified framework and would supersede the urgency ordinance when it becomes effective. Staff also recommends that the City Council direct the City Manager to return in January 2027 with an updated assessment of the storefront retail program and recommendations concerning whether another application round should be conducted. That direction would not authorize or commit the City to another application process; the policy decision would remain with the City Council after it receives updated information.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City regulates commercial cannabis businesses through Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code. The City Council originally established the commercial cannabis business permit program through Ordinance No. 1977, adopted May 11, 2021. The Council subsequently adopted
19.D.
Ordinance Nos. 2033 and 2036 in 2024 to authorize and establish additional regulations for storefront retail commercial cannabis businesses, followed by Ordinance No. 2054 on January 28, 2025, which amended provisions governing the issuance and expiration of storefront retail permits. The City’s current cannabis information materials identify these ordinances as part of the regulatory framework governing storefront businesses.
DISCUSSION:
Existing Permit Expiration and Renewal Framework
The proposed ordinances clarify the operation of section 18-511 for storefront retail permits during the period between initial issuance and commencement of operations. As amended, a storefront retail permit would have an initial 12-month term commencing upon the City Manager’s written notification of issuance. If the permittee obtains a certificate of occupancy and commences operations within that period, the permit would thereafter operate under the ordinary annual expiration and renewal framework, with the subsequent 12-month term commencing upon approval of the certificate of occupancy.
The permit shall automatically expire, without further action by the city and without further notice to the permittee, at the end of the initial term or at the end of any extension granted under section 18- 511.5, whichever is later, if the permittee has not obtained a certificate of occupancy and commenced operations on or before that date.
The amendments to section 18-512 also address the interaction between the renewal requirements and pre-opening storefront businesses. The City Manager would be permitted to accept a renewal application filed fewer than 60 days before expiration upon a written finding of good cause, with good cause expressly limited to circumstances not attributable to the permittee’s lack of diligence. The amendments also clarify the treatment of a pre-opening storefront permit under the four-month continuous-operation requirement and distinguish automatic permit expiration from the rejection of a renewal application for purposes of the existing one-year limitation on filing a new application.
Proposed One-Time Storefront Build-Out Extension
New section 18-511.5 would authorize the City Manager to consider a single build-out extension for a qualifying storefront retail permittee that has not yet obtained a certificate of occupancy or commenced operations.
An extension would not be granted merely because a permittee requests additional time. The City Manager must make written findings that the permittee holds a valid, unexpired building permit and has demonstrated good-faith, substantial, and continuing progress toward construction completion; has an appropriate state license or pending state-license application in good standing; is current on financial obligations owed to the City; is not subject to a pending suspension or revocation proceeding and has no known grounds for suspension or revocation; has executed the required compliance agreement and furnished performance security; and continues to satisfy applicable locational requirements and conditions of approval.
The authority is expressly limited. An extension may not exceed 180 days, may be granted only once for any permit, and may not extend the initial term beyond June 30, 2027. Neither the City Manager nor another City officer or employee would have authority to grant a second extension, extend an existing extension, or reinstate a permit after expiration at the conclusion of the extension period.
19.D.
These limitations are intended to distinguish the proposal from an indefinite preservation of dormant permits. The additional time is available only to a permittee that demonstrates ongoing progress and accepts enforceable obligations designed to result in completion and opening within a defined period.
Compliance Agreements and Performance Security
The proposed ordinances also add section 18-512.5, expressly authorizing the City Manager or designee to impose reasonable conditions and execute compliance agreements in connection with qualifying extensions and conditioned renewals.
For a storefront build-out extension, execution of a compliance agreement and delivery of required performance security are prerequisites to the extension becoming effective. Each agreement must include a dated, milestone-based construction and opening schedule with a firm outside completion date. It must also require performance security in the form of a bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or cash deposit in an amount sufficient to secure outstanding improvements and applicable conditions of approval, subject to approval of the form and amount by the Appropriate Department Director and City Attorney.
The compliance agreement must further provide for recovery of the City’s costs associated with administration of the extension and agreement; indemnification and defense of the City; a release of specified claims and covenant not to sue; acknowledgment that neither the extension nor compliance agreement creates a vested right or land use entitlement; and continuation of accrued cost-recovery and indemnification obligations following termination. The ordinance expressly reserves the City’s police powers and its authority to suspend or revoke a permit, enforce building and other laws, abate nuisances, and amend its regulatory requirements.
If an extended permittee fails to achieve an applicable milestone by the date established in the compliance agreement, or reaches the expiration of the extension without satisfying the requirements to continue operations, the ordinance provides for automatic expiration. The required compliance agreement is intended to document the permittee’s advance agreement to that result and the associated procedural provisions.
January 2027 Program Status and Future Application Round The proposed amendments address the immediate administration of existing storefront permits. They do not resolve the separate, longer-term policy question of whether the City should conduct another application process for storefront retail cannabis businesses. The City’s current application framework provides for a limited number of storefront permits, and the City Council retains control over whether and when additional permits within the authorized framework should be made available. Current City materials identify five storefront retail permits as the maximum under the existing program and identify section 18-508 as the Code provision governing that limitation.
Staff recommends that the Council defer any decision concerning another application round until additional information is available. By the first regular meeting in January 2027, the City should have a clearer record concerning the progress of existing permittees, whether any businesses have opened, whether extensions have been requested or granted, performance under any compliance agreements, whether any permits have expired or otherwise ceased to occupy an available permit position, and any practical issues identified through administration of the amended regulations.
19.D.
STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional appropriation is requested in connection with adoption of the proposed ordinances.
Administration of extension requests, preparation and negotiation of compliance agreements, monitoring of construction milestones, and related legal or consultant work will require City staff resources. The proposed ordinance requires a compliance agreement to obligate the permittee to reimburse the City for costs incurred in connection with the extension, compliance agreement, and the permittee’s performance thereunder, including staff time, consultant fees, and attorney’s fees. The ordinance also requires performance security intended to protect the City in connection with outstanding improvements and conditions of approval.
ALTERNATIVE(S):
The City Council may:
1. Decline to adopt the urgency ordinance but introduce the companion regular ordinance. Under this alternative, the existing Code would remain in effect until the regular ordinance becomes effective, which may leave insufficient time to implement the proposed extension process before the stated October 23, 2026 permit expiration date.
2. Modify the proposed ordinances.
3. Decline to adopt or introduce either ordinance and retain the existing commercial cannabis business permit regulations. Under this alternative, staff would have no new authority to grant the one-time conditioned build-out extension proposed by this item.
4. Provide different direction regarding the scope or timing of the January 2027 City Manager report or decline to require such a report.

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2082
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HEMET, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION 36937(b), AMENDING SECTIONS 18-511 AND 18-512 OF, AND ADDING SECTIONS 18-511.5 AND 18-512.5 TO, ARTICLE XVI OF CHAPTER 18 OF THE HEMET MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO THE TERM, EXTENSION, AND RENEWAL OF COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS BUSINESS PERMITS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO IMPOSE CONDITIONS AND EXECUTE COMPLIANCE
AGREEMENTS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City of Hemet ("City") is a general law city organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California, and possesses the authority under article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws; and
WHEREAS, Business and Professions Code section 26200 expressly preserves the authority of a local jurisdiction to adopt and enforce local ordinances regulating commercial cannabis businesses, including reasonable regulation of the time, place, and manner of operation and the establishment of local licensing requirements; and WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 1977, adopted May 11, 2021, the city council added Article XVI to Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code establishing a commercial cannabis business permit program; and
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 2054, adopted January 28, 2025, the city council amended sections 18-511 and 18-520 of the Hemet Municipal Code, and in doing so added subsection (b) to section 18-511 addressing commercial cannabis business permits issued for storefront retail operation; and
WHEREAS, section 18-511(a) provides that a commercial cannabis business permit expires twelve months after the date of issuance, and defines the date of issuance as the date the certificate of occupancy has been approved; and WHEREAS, section 18-511(b) provides that notwithstanding subsection (a), a permit issued for storefront retail operation is considered issued upon written notification
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
by the city manager to the applicant, and that the permit automatically expires and shall not be renewed if the applicant has not obtained a certificate of occupancy and begun operations; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of a storefront retail cannabis business requires substantial tenant improvement, plan review, construction, and inspection, and completion may be delayed by causes including contractor and subcontractor availability, materials procurement, landlord performance, utility and service provider scheduling, state licensing timelines, and city review times; and WHEREAS, section 18-512(a) requires that a renewal application be filed at least sixty calendar days before expiration, section 18-512(d)(1) requires rejection of an application filed later, and section 18-512(d)(3) requires rejection of an application by a business that has not been in regular and continuous operation in the four months preceding the application; and
WHEREAS, the combined operation of section 18-511(b) and section 18- 512(d)(1) and (d)(3) can render renewal unavailable to a pre-opening storefront retail permittee despite commercially reasonable diligence and does not provide the City Manager a mechanism to evaluate good-faith construction progress, to impose conditions, or to require financial security for completion; and WHEREAS, the city council finds that a single, conditioned, time-limited extension secured by enforceable performance obligations and financial security better serves the public peace, health, safety, and welfare than the automatic lapse of a permit, because it retains the permittee and the premises within the city's regulatory and inspection framework, avoids the abandonment of partially constructed commercial buildings, and supports the operation of a lawful, licensed, tested, and regulated retail cannabis market in place of unlicensed activity; and
WHEREAS, the city council further finds that the city manager should be expressly authorized to impose conditions upon any extension or conditioned renewal and to negotiate and execute compliance agreements containing enforceable milestones, performance security, cost recovery, indemnity, and release provisions; and WHEREAS, section 18-508 limits the number of storefront retail commercial cannabis business permits that may be issued in the city, and the city council finds it appropriate to state expressly the effect of permit expiration upon the limitation in section 18-512(f) on the filing of new applications; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is general in its terms, applies to all commercial cannabis business permittees similarly situated, and is not directed to any particular permittee, business, or premises; and
WHEREAS, the city council desires to adopt these provisions as an urgency ordinance taking effect immediately, and has separately introduced an ordinance containing identical operative provisions for adoption in the ordinary course; and
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS.
The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this urgency ordinance by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. URGENCY FINDINGS.
Pursuant to Government Code section 36937, subdivision (b), the city council finds and declares that this ordinance is an ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, and states the following facts constituting the urgency:
(a) Imminent expiration outpaces the ordinary legislative calendar.
One or more commercial cannabis business permits for storefront retail operation carry a stated term expiring on October 23, 2026. A companion ordinance containing identical operative provisions was introduced on September 8, 2026, and cannot be adopted before September 22, 2026, and cannot take effect before approximately October 22, 2026. That would give insufficient time to process extensions and/or renewals prior to automatic permit expiration. (b) Loss of regulatory oversight over partially constructed premises.
When a commercial cannabis business permit lapses before a certificate of occupancy is issued, the permittee, the premises, and the construction in progress fall outside the permit conditions, reporting obligations, security requirements, and inspection authority established by this article. The city loses the principal mechanism by which it supervises the buildout of these premises.
Immediate action is necessary to retain that oversight without interruption. (c) Risk of abandoned and unsecured partially constructed commercial buildings. Premises subject to these permits are commercial buildings undergoing tenant improvement. A permit lapse creates a substantial likelihood that construction will halt with buildings in a partially demolished or partially constructed condition, with incomplete life-safety systems, open utility connections, unfinished site improvements, and no permittee under an enforceable obligation to secure or complete the site. Vacant and unsecured commercial structures present recognized hazards of trespass, vandalism, fire, and injury, and impose demands on police, fire, and code enforcement resources. This ordinance conditions any extension on performance security and an enforceable completion schedule, which directly addresses that hazard.
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
(d) Public safety interest in a licensed, regulated retail market. The city council previously determined, in adopting Ordinance No. 1977, that a limited number of licensed, regulated, and inspected storefront retail cannabis businesses serves the public safety by displacing unlicensed and untested cannabis sales, which are conducted without age verification, product testing, security requirements, or regulatory oversight. Section 18-525 limits storefront retail permits to a small number. The simultaneous lapse of permits, coupled with the one-year re-application limitation in section 18-512(f), would leave that regulatory framework substantially unpopulated for an extended period, with a corresponding increase in the risk of unlicensed activity. (e) No adequate alternative. The relief provided by this ordinance cannot be obtained by administrative action. Sections 18-511(b), 18-512(a), 18- 512(d)(1), and 18-512(d)(3) are mandatory in terms, and neither the city manager nor any other officer has discretion to depart from them. Only legislative action by the city council can supply the authority this ordinance confers, and only an urgency ordinance can supply it before the harms described above occur.
The city council further finds that this ordinance is narrowly drawn to address the circumstances described because it authorizes a single extension, of limited duration, subject to mandatory findings, an outside date, an executed compliance agreement, and performance security, and it expressly reserves the city's authority to suspend, revoke, and enforce.
SECTION 3. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 18-511.
Section 18-511 of Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in underline and deletions shown in strikeout:
Sec. 18-511. Expiration of commercial cannabis business permits. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, each Each commercial cannabis business permit issued pursuant to this article shall expire 12 months after the date of issuance which shall be defined as when the certificate of occupancy has been approved and thereafter on the renewal date.
Commercial cannabis permits may be renewed as provided in section 18-512. (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, for each commercial cannabis business permit issued pursuant to this article for storefront retail operation, the commercial cannabis business permit shall be considered issued upon written notification by the city manager to the applicant. The permit shall automatically expire and not be renewed if the applicant has not yet obtained a certificate of occupancy and begun operations.
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
(1) Initial term. The initial term of a commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation shall be twelve (12) months commencing on the date of the city manager's written notification described in this subsection, unless extended pursuant to section 18- 511.5.
(2) Automatic expiration. The permit shall automatically expire, without further action by the city and without further notice to the permittee, at the end of the initial term or at the end of any extension granted under section 18-511.5, whichever is later, if the permittee has not obtained a certificate of occupancy and commenced operations on or before that date.
(3) Commencement of operations. If the permittee obtains a certificate of occupancy and commences operations during the initial term or during any extension granted under section 18-511.5, the permit shall thereafter expire and may be renewed as provided in subsection (a) of this section and in section 18-512, and the twelve-month term described in subsection (a) shall commence upon the issuance date of the certificate of occupancy.
(4) Declaratory of existing law. The amendments made to this subsection by Ordinance No. 2082 are declaratory of the city council's intent in adopting Ordinance No. 2054 and are intended to clarify, and not to change, the meaning and effect of this section. A permit issued before the effective date of Ordinance No. 2082 remains valid according to its terms as clarified by this subsection, and shall be subject to annual renewal as set forth in section 18-512.
SECTION 4. ADDITION OF SECTION 18-511.5.
Section 18-511.5 is hereby added to Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code to read as follows:
Sec. 18-511.5. One-time build-out extension; storefront retail permits. (a) Purpose. This section establishes a single, time-limited, conditioned opportunity for the holder of a valid commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation that has not yet obtained a certificate of occupancy and nor commenced operations to complete construction and open for business. The city council finds that a conditioned extension secured by enforceable performance obligations better serves the public peace, health, safety, and welfare than the automatic lapse of a permit, because it retains the premises and the permittee within the city's regulatory and inspection framework, avoids the abandonment of partially constructed commercial buildings, and supports the
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
operation of a lawful, licensed, and regulated retail cannabis market in place of unlicensed activity.
(b) Eligibility. A permittee is eligible to apply for an extension under this section only if the permit is a valid commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation, the permittee has not obtained a certificate of occupancy or commenced operations, and the permit has not expired, been suspended, or been revoked as of the date the application is filed. (c) Application. An application for an extension shall be filed in writing with the city manager not later than ten (10) days before the expiration of the initial term, or by such later date as the city manager may allow upon a written finding of good cause as defined in section 18-512(g). The application shall include a proposed construction and opening schedule, evidence of the status of all building and construction permits, evidence of the status of all state licenses, and such other information as the city manager may reasonably require. (d) Required findings. The city manager shall not grant an extension unless the city manager first makes each of the following findings in writing:
(1) The permittee holds a valid, unexpired building permit for the permitted premises and has demonstrated good-faith, substantial, and continuing progress toward completion of construction;
(2) The permittee holds a valid state license or provisional state license in good standing for the permitted activity, or has a pending application therefor in good standing;
(3) The permittee is current on all fees, taxes, cost-recovery obligations, and other financial obligations owed to the city; (4) The permittee is not the subject of a pending suspension or revocation proceeding under this article, and no grounds for suspension or revocation are known to exist;
(5) The permittee has executed a compliance agreement satisfying section 18-512.5 and has delivered the performance security required by that agreement; and
(6) The premises remain in compliance with the locational requirements of section 18-525 and with all applicable conditions of approval; and
(7) No changes in the cannabis storefront retail ownership entity have occurred.
(e) Duration; one time only. An extension granted under this section shall be for a period not to exceed 180 days and shall in no event extend the initial term beyond June 30, 2027. An extension may be granted only once for any permit. Neither the city manager nor any other officer or employee of the city
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
has authority to grant a second extension, to extend an extension, or to reinstate a permit that has expired at the conclusion of an extension. (f) Compliance agreement required. No extension shall take effect unless and until the permittee has executed a compliance agreement pursuant to section 18-512.5 and has delivered the performance security required thereunder. The compliance agreement shall be a condition of the extension, and any breach of the compliance agreement shall be a violation of this article. (g) Automatic expiration. A permit for which an extension has been granted shall automatically expire, without further action by the city and without hearing, upon the earlier of (1) the permittee's failure to satisfy any milestone set forth in the compliance agreement by the date specified for that milestone, or (2) the expiration of the extension period. The city manager shall give the permittee written notice that automatic expiration has occurred, but the giving of notice is a ministerial act and is not a condition of expiration.
(h) No vested right. The granting of an extension under this section does not create a land use entitlement, does not create or confer any vested right, and does not waive or satisfy any requirement of this Code, of state law, or of any condition of approval, permit, or license. A permittee acquires no property interest in an extension or in the continuation of a permit beyond the term expressly granted.
(i) Appeal. The denial of an application for an extension under this section may be appealed pursuant to sections 18-515 through 18-518. Automatic expiration under subsection (g) is not a decision subject to appeal.
SECTION 5. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 18-512.
Section 18-512 of Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in underline and deletions shown in strikeout. Subsections (b), (c), and (e) are unchanged and are reproduced for completeness:
Sec. 18-512. Renewal of cannabis business permits.
(a) An application for renewal of a commercial cannabis business permit shall be filed at least 60 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the current permit, except that the city manager may accept an application filed fewer than 60 calendar days prior to the expiration date upon a written finding of good cause as provided in subsection (g) of this section.
(b) The renewal application shall contain all the information required for new applications.
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
(c) The applicant shall pay a fee in an amount to be set by the city council to cover the costs of processing the renewal permit application, together with any costs incurred by the city to administer the program created under this article. (d) An application for renewal of a commercial cannabis business permit shall be rejected if any of the following exists:
(1) The application is filed less than 60 days before its expiration, and the city manager has not accepted the application pursuant to subsection (g) of this section.
(2) The commercial cannabis business permit is suspended orrevoked at the time of the application. (3) The commercial cannabis business has not been in regular and continuous operation in the four months prior to the renewal application, provided, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to a commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation that has not previously commenced operations and that remains within its initial term under section 18-511(b)(1) or within an extension granted under section 18-511.5.
(4) The permittee fails or is unable to renew its State of California license.
(5) If the city or state has determined, based on substantial evidence, that the permittee or applicant is in violation of the requirements of this article, of the city municipal code, or of the state rules and regulations, and the city or state has determined that the violation is grounds for termination or revocation of the commercial cannabis business permit.
(e) The city manager or his/her designee(s) is authorized to make all decisions concerning the issuance of a renewal permit. In making the decision, the city manager or his/her designee(s) is authorized to impose additional conditions to a renewal permit, if it is determined to be necessary to ensure compliance with state or local laws and regulations or to preserve the public health, safety or welfare. Appeals from the decision of the city manager or his/her designee(s) shall be handled pursuant to sections 18-515 through 18-518. (f) If a renewal application is rejected, a person may file a new application pursuant to this article no sooner than one year from the date of the rejection.
The one-year limitation in this subsection applies only to the rejection of a renewal application. A permit that expires under section 18-511(b) or section 18- 511.5 without the rejection of a renewal application is not subject to this subsection.
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
(g) Good cause for late filing. For purposes of subsections (a) and (d)(1) of this section, good cause exists only where the permittee's failure to file within the time required is not attributable to the permittee's own lack of diligence and the permittee demonstrates that it has otherwise operated in a commercially reasonable manner. Inadvertence, oversight, failure to calendar a known deadline, and lack of familiarity with the requirements of this article do not constitute good cause. The city manager shall state the basis for a good cause finding in writing, and the finding shall be maintained in the permit file and shall be a public record. Acceptance of a late-filed application under this subsection does not waive, and shall not be construed to waive, any other requirement of this article, including any ground for rejection under subsection (d) of this section other than subsection (d)(1).
SECTION 6. ADDITION OF SECTION 18-512.5.
Section 18-512.5 is hereby added to Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code to read as follows:
Sec. 18-512.5. Conditions; compliance agreements.
(a) Authority to condition. In addition to the authority conferred by section 18-512(e), the city manager, or a designee of the city manager, is authorized to impose reasonable conditions upon any extension, renewal, conditioned renewal, or reinstatement granted under this article. Conditions may address, without limitation: construction and opening milestones, completion of outstanding conditions of approval, maintenance and securing of the premises, performance security, and recovery of the city's costs. Conditions shall be stated in writing and shall be enforceable as though set forth in this article. (b) Authority to execute compliance agreements. The city manager, or a designee of the city manager, is authorized to negotiate and execute a compliance agreement with a permittee, without further action by the city council, as a condition of any extension granted under section 18-511.5 or of any conditioned renewal granted under section 18-512. A compliance agreement is a regulatory instrument authorized by this article and by the city's police power. (c) Mandatory minimum contents. Every compliance agreement shall contain, at a minimum, each of the following:
(1) A dated, milestone-based construction and opening schedule, stating each milestone and the date by which it must be achieved, and stating a firm outside completion date;
(2) Performance security in the form of a bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a cash deposit, in an amount sufficient to complete all outstanding improvements and all outstanding conditions of approval, with
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
the form, amount, and issuer approved by the city engineer and city attorney that includes a provision for the city's draw upon the security upon breach;
(3) The permittee's advance written consent to the automatic expiration of the permit, without hearing, upon the permittee's failure to achieve any milestone by the date specified, together with the permittee's express and knowing waiver of any claim that such expiration requires notice, hearing, or any other process;
(4) The permittee's agreement to pay all costs incurred by the city in connection with the extension, the compliance agreement, and the permittee's performance thereunder, including staff time, consultant fees, and attorney's fees;
(5) The permittee's agreement to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the city and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any claim, action, or proceeding arising from or relating to the permit, the extension, the compliance agreement, or the permittee's activities on the premises; (6) A release by the permittee of all claims, known and unknown, against the city and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers arising from or relating to the permit or its administration through the effective date of the compliance agreement, together with a covenant not to sue and an express waiver of the provisions of Civil Code section 1542;
(7) The permittee's acknowledgment that the compliance
agreement confers no vested right, is not a development agreement under Government Code section 65864 et seq., and does not constitute a land use entitlement; and
(8) A provision stating that the compliance agreement terminates automatically upon the expiration or revocation of the permit, and that termination does not extinguish the permittee's accrued obligations, including cost-recovery and indemnity obligations.
(d) Reservation of police power. No compliance agreement shall limit, waive, or contract away the authority of the city to suspend or revoke a permit for cause under this article, to enforce the California Building Standards Code or any other provision of this Code or of state law, to abate a nuisance, to exercise any enforcement authority, or to amend this article or any other provision of this Code. Any provision of a compliance agreement inconsistent with this subsection is void.
SECTION 7. EFFECTIVE DATE; VOTE REQUIRED.
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
This urgency ordinance is adopted pursuant to Government Code section 36937, subdivision (b), and shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its adoption by a vote of at least four-fifths (4/5) of the members of the city council. An urgency ordinance adopted under Government Code section 36937, subdivision (b), is permanent in duration and is not an interim ordinance subject to the durational limits or extension procedures of Government Code section 65858.
SECTION 8. TERMINATION UPON EFFECTIVE DATE OF COMPANION ORDINANCE.
This urgency ordinance shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the effective date of Ordinance No. 2083, introduced on September 8, 2026, which contains operative provisions identical to Sections 3 through 6 of this urgency ordinance. Every extension granted, condition imposed, finding made, compliance agreement executed, performance security accepted, and application filed or acted upon under this urgency ordinance shall survive its termination and shall remain valid and fully enforceable under Ordinance No. 2083. If Ordinance No. 2083 is not adopted or does not take effect, this urgency ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 9. CEQA DETERMINATION.
The city council finds that this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act and the State CEQA Guidelines. This ordinance is an administrative and regulatory activity governing the term, extension, renewal, and conditioning of commercial cannabis business permits. It does not authorize any new use, does not increase the number of permits available under section 18-525, does not approve any development, and does not commit the city to any definite course of action with respect to any physical improvement. It therefore has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, and if this ordinance were determined to be a project, it is exempt under the common sense exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Any subsequent construction, tenant improvement, or occupancy at a permitted premises remains subject to independent environmental review to the extent required by law.
SECTION 10. SEVERABILITY.
If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, that decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The city council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, and portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
19.D.
CITY OF HEMET ORDINANCE NO. 2082 1
subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 11. SAVINGS CLAUSE.
Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the repeal or amendment of any provision of the Hemet Municipal Code effected hereby shall in any manner affect the prosecution of any violation of the Hemet Municipal Code committed before the effective date of this ordinance, nor be construed as a waiver of any license, fee, tax, penalty, or other charge due and unpaid as of that date, nor affect the validity of any bond or cash deposit posted, nor affect any pending suspension, revocation, enforcement, or appeal proceeding, nor affect any right accrued or liability incurred before that date. All such prosecutions, proceedings, rights, and liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as though this ordinance had not been adopted.
SECTION 12. PUBLICATION.
The city clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this urgency ordinance and shall cause the same, or a summary thereof, to be published and posted in the manner required by Government Code sections 36933 and 36937.
INTRODUCED, PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED as an urgency ordinance at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Hemet on September 8, 2026, by a vote of not less than four-fifths (4/5) of the members of the city council. ___________________________

WHEREAS, the establishment of a storefront retail cannabis business requires substantial tenant improvement, plan review, construction, and inspection, and completion may be delayed by causes including contractor and subcontractor availability, materials procurement, landlord performance, utility and service provider scheduling, state licensing timelines, and city review times; and WHEREAS, section 18-512(a) requires that a renewal application be filed at least sixty calendar days before expiration, section 18-512(d)(1) requires rejection of an application filed later, and section 18-512(d)(3) requires rejection of an application by a business that has not been in regular and continuous operation in the four months preceding the application; and
WHEREAS, the combined operation of section 18-511(b) and section 18- 512(d)(1) and (d)(3) can render renewal unavailable to a pre-opening storefront retail permittee despite commercially reasonable diligence and does not provide the City Manager a mechanism to evaluate good-faith construction progress, to impose conditions, or to require financial security for completion; and WHEREAS, the city council finds that a single, conditioned, time-limited extension secured by enforceable performance obligations and financial security better serves the public peace, health, safety, and welfare than the automatic lapse of a permit, because it retains the permittee and the premises within the city's regulatory and inspection framework, avoids the abandonment of partially constructed commercial buildings, and supports the operation of a lawful, licensed, tested, and regulated retail cannabis market in place of unlicensed activity; and
WHEREAS, the city council further finds that the city manager should be expressly authorized to impose conditions upon any extension or conditioned renewal and to negotiate and execute compliance agreements containing enforceable milestones, performance security, cost recovery, indemnity, and release provisions; and WHEREAS, section 18-508 limits the number of storefront retail commercial cannabis business permits that may be issued in the city, and the city council finds it appropriate to state expressly the effect of permit expiration upon the limitation in section 18-512(f) on the filing of new applications; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is general in its terms, applies to all commercial cannabis business permittees similarly situated, and is not directed to any particular permittee, business, or premises; and
WHEREAS, on September 8, 2026, the city council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2082 containing operative provisions identical to those set forth in this ordinance, in order that those provisions take effect immediately pending the effective date of this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS.
The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this ordinance by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS.
The city council finds and determines that the amendments set forth in this ordinance are necessary to effectuate the intent of section 18-511 concerning the term of a commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation and to provide a single, conditioned, time-limited opportunity for a diligent pre-opening permittee to complete construction and open under enforceable performance obligations secured by financial security. The intent of the City Council is to confer express authority upon the city manager to impose conditions and to execute compliance agreements and to preserve the city's regulatory oversight of permitted premises. These amendments are general in application, are prospective except as expressly stated, and are adopted in the exercise of the city's police power under article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution and the authority reserved to local jurisdictions by Business and Professions Code section 26200.
SECTION 3. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 18-511.
Section 18-511 of Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in underline and deletions shown in strikeout:

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, for each commercial cannabis business permit issued pursuant to this article for storefront retail operation, the commercial cannabis business permit shall be considered issued upon written notification by the city manager to the applicant. The permit shall automatically expire and not be renewed if the applicant has not yet obtained a certificate of occupancy and begun operations.
(1) Initial term. The initial term of a commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation shall be twelve (12) months commencing on the date of the city manager's written notification

described in this subsection, unless extended pursuant to section 18- 511.5.
(2) Automatic expiration. The permit shall automatically expire, without further action by the city and without further notice to the permittee, at the end of the initial term or at the end of any extension granted under section 18-511.5, whichever is later, if the permittee has not obtained a certificate of occupancy and commenced operations on or before that date.
(3) Commencement of operations. If the permittee obtains a certificate of occupancy and commences operations during the initial term or during any extension granted under section 18-511.5, the permit shall thereafter expire and may be renewed as provided in subsection (a) of this section and in section 18-512, and the twelve-month term described in subsection (a) shall commence upon the approval issuance date of the certificate of occupancy.
(4) Declaratory of existing law. The amendments made to this subsection by Ordinance No. 2083 are declaratory of the city council's intent in adopting Ordinance No. 2054 and are intended to clarify, and not to change, the meaning and effect of this section. A permit issued before the effective date of Ordinance No. 2083 remains valid according to its terms as clarified by this subsection, and shall be subject to annual renewal as set forth in section 18-512.
SECTION 4. ADDITION OF SECTION 18-511.5.
Section 18-511.5 is hereby added to Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code to read as follows:
Sec. 18-511.5. One-time build-out extension; storefront retail permits. (a) Purpose. This section establishes a single, time-limited, conditioned opportunity for the holder of a valid commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation that has not yet obtained a certificate of occupancy and nor commenced operations to complete construction and open for business. The city council finds that a conditioned extension secured by enforceable performance obligations better serves the public peace, health, safety, and welfare than the automatic lapse of a permit, because it retains the premises and the permittee within the city's regulatory and inspection framework, avoids the abandonment of partially constructed commercial buildings, and supports the operation of a lawful, licensed, and regulated retail cannabis market in place of unlicensed activity.

(f) Compliance agreement required. No extension shall take effect unless and until the permittee has executed a compliance agreement pursuant to section 18-512.5 and has delivered the performance security required thereunder. The compliance agreement shall be a condition of the extension, and any breach of the compliance agreement shall be a violation of this article. (g) Automatic expiration. A permit for which an extension has been granted shall automatically expire, without further action by the city and without hearing, upon the earlier of (1) the permittee's failure to satisfy any milestone set forth in the compliance agreement by the date specified for that milestone, or (2) the expiration of the extension period. The city manager shall give the permittee written notice that automatic expiration has occurred, but the giving of notice is a ministerial act and is not a condition of expiration.
(h) No vested right. The granting of an extension under this section does not create a land use entitlement, does not create or confer any vested right, and does not waive or satisfy any requirement of this Code, of state law, or of any condition of approval, permit, or license. A permittee acquires no property interest in an extension or in the continuation of a permit beyond the term expressly granted.
(i) Appeal. The denial of an application for an extension under this section may be appealed pursuant to sections 18-515 through 18-518. Automatic expiration under subsection (g) is not a decision subject to appeal.
SECTION 5. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 18-512.
Section 18-512 of Article XVI of Chapter 18 of the Hemet Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in underline and deletions shown in strikeout. Subsections (b), (c), and (e) are unchanged and are reproduced for completeness:
Sec. 18-512. Renewal of cannabis business permits.
(a) An application for renewal of a commercial cannabis business permit shall be filed at least 60 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the current permit, except that the city manager may accept an application filed fewer than 60 calendar days prior to the expiration date upon a written finding of good cause as provided in subsection (g) of this section.
(b) The renewal application shall contain all the information required for new applications.
(c) The applicant shall pay a fee in an amount to be set by the city council to cover the costs of processing the renewal permit application, together with any costs incurred by the city to administer the program created under this article.

(d) An application for renewal of a commercial cannabis business permit shall be rejected if any of the following exists:
(1) The application is filed less than 60 days before its expiration, and the city manager has not accepted the application pursuant to subsection (g) of this section.
(2) The commercial cannabis business permit is suspended orrevoked at the time of the application. (3) The commercial cannabis business has not been in regular and continuous operation in the four months prior to the renewal application, provided, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to a commercial cannabis business permit for storefront retail operation that has not previously commenced operations and that remains within its initial term under section 18-511(b)(1) or within an extension granted under section 18-511.5.
(4) The permittee fails or is unable to renew its State of California license.
(5) If the city or state has determined, based on substantial evidence, that the permittee or applicant is in violation of the requirements of this article, of the city municipal code, or of the state rules and regulations, and the city or state has determined that the violation is grounds for termination or revocation of the commercial cannabis business permit.
(e) The city manager or his/her designee(s) is authorized to make all decisions concerning the issuance of a renewal permit. In making the decision, the city manager or his/her designee(s) is authorized to impose additional conditions to a renewal permit, if it is determined to be necessary to ensure compliance with state or local laws and regulations or to preserve the public health, safety or welfare. Appeals from the decision of the city manager or his/her designee(s) shall be handled pursuant to sections 18-515 through 18-518. (f) If a renewal application is rejected, a person may file a new application pursuant to this article no sooner than one year from the date of the rejection.
The one-year limitation in this subsection applies only to the rejection of a renewal application. A permit that expires under section 18-511(b) or section 18- 511.5 without the rejection of a renewal application is not subject to this subsection.
(g) Good cause for late filing. For purposes of subsections (a) and (d)(1) of this section, good cause exists only where the permittee's failure to file within the time required is not attributable to the permittee's own lack of diligence and the permittee demonstrates that it has otherwise operated in a commercially

superseded by this ordinance upon the effective date of this ordinance, and shall thereupon be of no further force or effect. It is the express intent of the city council that there be no lapse, gap, or period of non-effectiveness between the operation of Urgency Ordinance No. 2082 and the operation of this ordinance. Every extension granted, condition imposed, finding made, compliance agreement executed, performance security accepted, and application filed or acted upon under Urgency Ordinance No. 2082 before the effective date of this ordinance is hereby ratified and shall remain valid and fully enforceable according to its terms under this ordinance, as though granted, imposed, made, executed, accepted, filed, or acted upon under this ordinance. Nothing in this section revives any permit that expired, or restores any application that was rejected, before the effective date of Urgency Ordinance No. 2082.
SECTION 8. CEQA DETERMINATION.
The city council finds that this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act and the State CEQA Guidelines. This ordinance is an administrative and regulatory activity governing the term, extension, renewal, and conditioning of commercial cannabis business permits. It does not authorize any new use, does not increase the number of permits available under section 18-525, does not approve any development, and does not commit the city to any definite course of action with respect to any physical improvement. It therefore has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, and if this ordinance were determined to be a project, it is exempt under the common sense exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Any subsequent construction, tenant improvement, or occupancy at a permitted premises remains subject to independent environmental review to the extent required by law.
SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY.
If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, that decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The city council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, and portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Designation of Voting Delegate and Alternate for the 2026 Cal Cities General Assembly and Direction Regarding Resolution No. 1
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
1. Appoint two Councilmembers to serve as the voting delegate and alternate at the League of California Cities Annual Conference General Assembly, scheduled for September 23–25, 2026, in Anaheim, California; and
2. Discuss the proposed resolution and determine the City’s position for the designated voting delegate and/or alternate to represent the City at the General Assembly meeting; and
3. Authorize the City Clerk, or designee, to complete and return the voting delegate and alternate appointment online submission form to the League of California Cities.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will hold its 2026 Annual Conference and Expo from September 23 through September 25, 2026, in Anaheim, California. As part of the conference, the Cal Cities General Assembly will convene on September 25, 2026, to consider resolutions submitted through the Cal Cities resolution process.
Cal Cities received one resolution for consideration in 2026. Resolution No. 1, submitted by the City of Murrieta that calls upon Cal Cities to support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment and/or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies intended to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions.
The General Assembly provides member cities an opportunity to establish Cal Cities policy positions on matters affecting California municipalities. The City of Hemet is entitled to designate a voting delegate and alternates to represent the City during the General Assembly.
19.E.
Staff recommends that the City Council review Resolution No. 1 and provide direction to the City's voting delegate regarding the City's position on the resolution at the September 25, 2026, General Assembly.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Cal Cities received one resolution for consideration in 2026. Resolution No. 1 was submitted by the City of Murrieta and seeks to establish Cal Cities policy supporting the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment and/or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions.
The City of Murrieta developed the resolution in response to the continued enactment of State legislation that preempts or limits local authority over housing, zoning, land use, and related municipal decisions. The resolution seeks to encourage a statewide effort among California cities to evaluate and advance strategies that would preserve or restore local decision-making authority in these areas.
The proposed resolution does not itself amend State law or place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Rather, adoption of the resolution would establish a Cal Cities policy position supporting the development and advancement of strategies to strengthen local authority. Such strategies could include a state constitutional amendment, legislation, policy changes, or a future ballot measure.
Accordingly, approval of Resolution No. 1 would provide policy direction to Cal Cities but would not commit the City of Hemet to supporting any specific future constitutional amendment, legislative proposal, or ballot measure.
The underlying policy issue is the appropriate balance between statewide housing objectives and the traditional authority of cities to make land use and zoning decisions based upon local conditions. In recent years, the State Legislature has enacted numerous measures affecting local zoning, housing approvals, density, development standards, and discretionary review. While these measures are generally intended to increase statewide housing production and affordability, they have also reduced local discretion regarding the location, design, density, and approval of certain residential development.
The City Council adopted the City's 2024-26 Legislative Platform to establish guiding principles for the City's advocacy on legislative and policy matters affecting municipal operations and the Hemet community. The Legislative Platform is intended to allow the City to respond to legislative proposals while maintaining consistency with policy direction established by the City Council.
Resolution No. 1 is generally consistent with the City's Legislative Platform principles concerning preservation of local control and the ability of local governments to make land use and development decisions responsive to the needs and characteristics of their communities. The City's legislative advocacy has also reflected concern with State measures that constrain local discretion over housing and land use.
At the same time, support for local control does not necessarily conflict with the City's commitment to meeting its housing obligations. The City maintains a State-certified 2021-2029 Housing Element and continues to implement programs intended to facilitate housing production, address barriers to affordable housing, streamline development processes, and comply with applicable State housing requirements.
19.E.
Resolution No. 1 can therefore be viewed as addressing the manner in which housing and land use policy is established rather than opposing housing production itself. Its central premise is that cities should retain meaningful authority to determine how statewide housing objectives are implemented within their communities.
Based on these considerations, staff finds that the general policy objective of Resolution No. 1 is consistent with the City's 2024-26 Legislative Platform, particularly its emphasis on preserving local authority and opposing State actions that unnecessarily restrict municipal discretion. The City Council may therefore determine that support for Resolution No. 1 is consistent with its previously established legislative priorities and direct the City's designated voting delegate to vote accordingly at the Cal Cities General Assembly.
DISCUSSION:
Cal Cities allows member cities to submit policy resolutions on matters of importance to California cities for consideration through its annual resolution process. For 2026, Cal Cities received one resolution by the submission deadline.
Resolution No. 1 was submitted by the City of Murrieta and calls for Cal Cities to support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters.
The resolution addresses local authority over matters including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications. The resolution also recognizes the State’s authority to establish broad statewide housing goals and enforce constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections.
Resolution No. 1 further calls for Cal Cities to consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee to evaluate potential strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters. Such an effort could include legal, fiscal, and policy analyses, engagement with cities and other stakeholders, and development of a statewide coalition in preparation for a potential future initiative.
The proposed City Council action establishes a City position on Resolution No. 1. based on City's current Legislative Platform (Attachment 2) and provides formal direction to the City’s designated voting delegate regarding the City’s vote at the 2026 Cal Cities General Assembly.

Referred to: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Policy Committee WHEREAS, California cities have historically been responsible for adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing housing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the streets, water, wastewater, public safety, parks, transportation, and other infrastructure and services necessary to support responsible, environmentally sound, and well-planned residential growth; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is dedicated to protecting and expanding local control for municipalities across the state to ensure their orderly growth and development; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities recognizes that local zoning is a primary function of cities and an essential component of home rule, and that a city’s general plan should guide its land use planning and strategic decision-making free from pre-emption by the state; and
WHEREAS, increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unique jurisdiction in infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire and evacuation risks, environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service needs, and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, California’s housing goals can be more effectively advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships that support housing production while preserving the authority of locally elected officials to determine how and where housing is best planned and approved; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled during the Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, on September 25, 2026, that the League of California Cities support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballotbased strategies that restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications; and

19.E.
2026 Resolution Packet
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any constitutional amendment or alternative strategy should preserve the State’s authority to establish broad statewide housing goals and enforce constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections, while protecting cities from state actions that compel, through funding conditions or state law, the approval of housing developments that are inconsistent with locally adopted requirements; override local zoning or density standards; or invalidate locally adopted housing or land use decisions when a city has planned in good faith to accommodate its regional housing needs allocation and maintains adequate capacity for housing at all income levels; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters including but limited to: conducting appropriate legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for; the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time frame as determined by the working group.

Background Information for Resolution
Source: City of Murrieta
Background:
California cities are responsible for planning residential growth, adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the infrastructure and public services necessary to support new housing. Since 2010, the State has enacted more than 500 housing-related laws that have increasingly shifted housing and land use authority away from local governments. These laws have expanded by-right development, limited locally adopted standards and review processes, and established enforcement mechanisms, including the builder’s remedy, that may override local plans and zoning. Although these measures are frequently presented as solutions to housing affordability, many increase development capacity or restrict local review without delivering the meaningful production of housing needed to address the housing crisis.
At the same time, the State has continued to prioritize increased development capacity without adequately accounting for the infrastructure, public services, economic realities, and safety measures necessary to support housing growth.
State mandates often fail to reflect local conditions, including roadway and utility capacity, water availability, wildfire exposure, environmental limitations, fiscal impacts, and the availability of essential services. Cities are consequently required to accommodate additional housing while receiving no funding or assistance to address the resulting infrastructure and service demands.
Local elected officials are directly accountable to the residents who experience the effects of development decisions and are responsible for balancing housing production with infrastructure capacity, public safety, environmental protection, fiscal sustainability, and community needs. Cities of all types in California have been grappling with this dynamic, ranging from urban to rural, coastal to inland, small to large, northern to southern, voicing concerns to legislative representatives with minimal responsiveness. This is an issue of statewide concern that needs the strength and diversity of the League of California Cities to pursue a long-term solution.
The proposed resolution directs the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions. The working group would be tasked with developing a more balanced framework that preserves the State’s role in establishing broad housing goals and enforcing constitutional, civil rights, fair housing, building, life-safety, and environmental requirements, while restoring meaningful local authority to allow cities to determine how statewide housing 9

objectives should be implemented in a manner that reflects local conditions and community priorities while continuing to support responsible housing production.
As the primary statewide organization representing California cities, the League is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Its established policy, legal, legislative, communications, and advocacy networks enable it to convene municipalities, evaluate potential strategies, conduct legal and fiscal analyses, build consensus, engage stakeholders, and coordinate with statewide decision-makers. League leadership would help ensure that any recommendation reflects the collective interests of California municipalities and would provide the credibility, organizational capacity, and statewide reach necessary to advance a viable strategy.

Subject: Support for the City of Murrieta's Resolution Establishing a Working Group to Evaluate a State Constitutional Amendment or Other Initiative to Restore Local Housing and Land Use Authority Dear President Quinto:
I am writing in my individual capacity as Mayor of the City of Temecula to express my strong support for the City of Murrieta's proposed resolution for consideration by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities at the 2026 Annual Conference.
The proposed resolution presents an important opportunity to thoughtfully evaluate the appropriate balance between California's statewide housing objectives and the constitutional principle of local governance. Establishing a statewide working group to examine a potential constitutional amendment, legislative reforms, or other policy initiatives will provide a meaningful forum to assess how local authority over housing and land use decisions can be strengthened while continuing to address the State's housing challenges.
Cities are uniquely positioned to understand the needs, opportunities, and constraints of their communities. Local elected officials are accountable to the residents they serve and are best equipped to make land use decisions that reflect a community's character, infrastructure capacity, economic development goals, environmental stewardship, and long-term vision. Equally important, local governments bear the primary responsibility for protecting public safety. Decisions regarding housing density, transportation, emergency access, wildfire preparedness, evacuation routes, police and fire service capacity, water availability, and critical infrastructure are inherently local matters that require the knowledge and judgment of those who serve their communities every day.
While the State has an important role in addressing California's housing needs, a collaborative approach that respects local expertise and preserves meaningful local discretion will produce stronger, safer, and more sustainable communities. The proposed working group offers an opportunity to evaluate policies that achieve these shared objectives while restoring an appropriate balance between state direction and local authority.

Resolution No. 1: Staff Analysis

19.E.
League of California Cities Staff Analysis on Resolution No. 1 Staff: Brady Guertin, Legislative Advocate
Committee: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Summary:
Resolution No.1 states that the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will:
1. Support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategy that restores and strengthens local authority over housing and land use matters, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications.
Pursuant to the resolution, the strategy should preserve the state’s authority to set broad, statewide housing goals and enforce civil rights, fair housing, building safety, and environmental standards while protecting local control by preventing the state from compelling the approval of developments that conflict with local requirements, override local zoning or density standards, or overturn local land use decisions where a city has planned for and maintained sufficient capacity to meet its housing obligations.
2. Consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters.
The resolution states: “conducting legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time period.” Background:
As provided in the background information, the city of Murrieta is sponsoring this resolution in response to concerns over state laws that have increasingly reduced city discretion over housing and land use decisions, including legislation that requires ministerial or by-right approvals for housing projects, limits the application of local development standards, and strengthens state enforcement mechanisms against local governments.
Additionally, the city of Murrieta, in its background information, maintains that these legislative efforts have not resulted in sufficient housing production to address California's housing shortage and have not adequately accounted for 24
19.E.
local infrastructure, public service needs, public safety, market, and fiscal considerations.
The resolution states that California’s housing goals are better advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships, while preserving local authority over how and where housing is best planned and approved.
Consideration of the resolution may be informed by a brief examination of how the California Constitution allocates authority between the state and cities with respect to land use decisions.
The constitution grants cities the power to adopt local laws to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare. This grant is called the “police power,” which is the basis for local land use regulation. The constitution grants charter cities the additional power to adopt local laws affecting “municipal affairs.” This power, commonly referred to as “home rule,” is based on the principle that a city, rather than the state, is in the best position to identify and satisfy the needs of the local community.
The constitution’s broad grant of police power contains a significant limitation.
Local law adopted under the police power is not valid if it “conflicts” with state law. A local law “conflicts” with state law when it regulates the same “field” in which the Legislature has stated its intent to occupy. In that case, state law is said to “preempt” the local law and it cannot be enforced.
An ordinance adopted by a charter city under the municipal affairs power cannot be enforced if it affects a “matter of statewide concern.” The subjects that have been identified as “matters of statewide concern” have changed over the years due to economic, social, and political circumstances.
Since the 1960s, the state has enacted numerous laws that limit or preempt aspects of local land use and zoning authority. These laws include the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Housing Element Law, Housing Accountability Act, Density Bonus Law, Permit Streamlining Act, accessory dwelling unit laws, California Environmental Quality Act, and others. In recent years, the state has enacted several laws that Cal Cities was the leading opposition force against, as many of the proposals pre-empted local land use authority, limited public review, and constrained local flexibility. In support of its housing and land use legislation, the Legislature has cited a statewide housing crisis and the need for increased housing production at all income levels while asserting that a uniform approach to local land use decision-making is required. 25
