City Council
September 21, 2022
STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Trujillo, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Resolution No. 10328 establishing criteria for financial and in-kind assistance to outside entities and authorizing the City Manager to execute such agreements in form of sponsorships, grants, fee waivers, and in-kind contributions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 10328 establishing criteria for financial and in-kind assistance to outside entities and authorizing the City Manager to execute such agreements in form of sponsorships, grants, fee waivers, and in-kind contributions.
SUMMARY:
On August 17, 2022 the City Council held a Study Session to determine the new criteria with respect to funding to outside agencies. Community groups, non-profit organizations, and other agencies routinely request assistance from the City in the form of grants, sponsorships, fee waivers, or in-kind service contributions for their events. The proposed resolution establishes criteria to be used by the City Manager to approve or deny such requests. The City Council shall establish an annual budget amount during the City's regular budget process. The anticipated annual budget is $100,000; however the actual amount will depend upon the availability of funds and the amount appropriated by the City Council each year. This fiscal year there is an additional $50,000 available due to City Council opting to save on election expenses tied to two councilmembers that were running unopposed (Mayor Fermon and Mayor Pro-Tem Ortiz).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In July 2013, the City Council adopted a Resolution establishing criteria for funding to outside agencies, which addressed not only grants, sponsorships, fee waivers, as well as requests for in-kind services. In August 2022 the City Council held a Study Session to determine more applicable criteria as well as to establish and adhere to a streamlined and formalized process for all funding requests.
Below encapsulates the new criteria and process:
- Annual funding of approximately $100K
- Four (4) opportunities to apply each year (quarterly) - Approximately $25K available per round - based upon number of requests - First come first served basis
- Funding Review Committee will consist of city staff (determined by the City Manager) - Includes all table sponsorships
- All funding requests must be routed through the application process, via [email protected] AGENDA ITEM #9.13
Resolution No. 10328 establishing criteria for financial and in-kind ass... Page 953 of 1610 - Individuals are not eligible
- $5K cap per request/agency per year
- No appeals process
- Funds cannot be used for salaries, prizes, or political groups - CDBG funding recipients are eligible
- School affiliations are eligible (i.e. school booster club, wrestling club, etc.) Eligibility: A non-profit, governmental entity, or school affiliation that will benefit the City or its residents by:
1. Enhancing the Quality of Life or the Delivery of Services in Indio
2. Strengthening the Business Community of Indio
3. Supporting the City’s overall Economic Development Program
4. Enhancing Indio’s Marketing Capacity and Recognition in the Region The typical funding calendar is as follows.
Round 1 - application period is in July; committee review and checks dispersed in August.
Round 2 - application period is in October; committee review and checks dispersed in November.
Round 3 - application period is in January; committee review and checks dispersed in February.
Round 2 - application period is in April; committee review and checks dispersed in May.
For FY 2022/2023, Rounds 1 and 2 will be combined as part of Round 2.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Subject: Consideration of Pre-Development Agreement with Palm Springs Motors for a potential Mazda dealership in Indio.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Agreement.
SUMMARY:
The principals of Palm Springs Motors are owners of the Ford and Kia dealerships in Indio and they are evaluating the opportunity to bring a Mazda dealership to Indio.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
There is considerable time and expense required to study, plan and develop a new car dealership.
Palm Springs Motors is desirous to bring a Mazda dealership to Indio and has proven the capacity to develop dealerships (both Ford and Kia in Indoi), but wants some reassurance that the time, effort and cost to evaluate the opportunity are not undermined if the City were to solicit proposals and/or engaged in negotiations with another party for the same type of dealership. (Palm Springs Motors did approach City staff with the idea of this agreement and no other group has done so, or even expressed interest in a Mazda dealership).
The proposed Pre-Development Agreement provides for a "study period" for Palm Springs Motors and the City to evaluate the development of a new Mazda facility. The initial term would be one year and may be extended another six months.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approve the Agreement.

Pre-Development Agreement
PRE-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS PRE-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of [***month***] [***day***], 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF INDIO, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and PALM SPRINGS MOTORS, a California corporation (“Developer”). City and Developer may be individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
The following recitals are a substantive part of this Agreement.
A. As of the Effective Date, Dealership (or its affiliates) own and operate several businesses engaged in new vehicle sales, including Fiesta Kia and Fiesta Ford, located at the I-10 Automall on Varner Road in the City of Indio; and B. Developer desires to locate, develop, and operate a facility to engage in new vehicle sales of Mazda brand vehicles (a “New Mazda Facility”) in the City of Indio.
C. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a period during which City and Developer may perform certain activities to study the feasibility of locating, developing, and operating the New Mazda Facility.
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Act in Good Faith. City and Developer agree that for the term of the “Study Period” (as defined in Section 2 hereof) each Party shall perform certain activities regarding the potential development of a New Mazda Facility. During the Study Period, City agrees to act in good faith with regards to Developer, and furthermore agrees not to solicit proposals or engage in negotiations, directly or indirectly, with any other person or entity, with regard to the development of a New Mazda Facility.
2. Study Period. The initial term of the Study Period (“Study Period”) shall be for a period of one (1) year, commencing on the Effective Date. During this time, Developer shall diligently assess site conditions, market conditions, and other material factors for a New Mazda Facility. Subject to any extension pursuant to this paragraph or the following paragraph, upon the expiration of the Study Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, without further written notice. Upon such automatic termination, the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Party shall have any further rights or remedies as to the other, except as specifically set forth herein.
In the event that prior to the end of the Study Period Developer has materially performed all of its duties as required by Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, the Study Period shall automatically be extended, without further written notice, for an additional period of one hundred eighty (180) days to enable the Developer to apply for any necessary entitlements and permits from the City and complete the
Consideration of Pre-Development Agreement with Palm Springs Motors for ... Page 967 of 1610 4864-5776-2607.1 Page 2 of 7
Pre-Development Agreement
environmental review required under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) for the New Mazda Facility.
3. Obligations During Study Period. The Parties’ respective obligations during the Study Period are set forth in Exhibit “A”.
4. No Predetermination of City Discretion. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement in any respect does or shall be construed to affect or prejudge the exercise of City's discretion concerning a New Mazda Facility, or any submittal by Developer or other third party with respect to the foregoing. The Parties do not intend for this Agreement to be a land use entitlement, business license, development agreement, or other agreement for the construction or development of improvements. Notwithstanding any submittals to be made by Developer hereunder, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any final action, if action is to be taken, on a New Mazda Facility would be in the form prescribed by the City of Indio Unified Development Code, including review and action by the appropriate authority thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, City does not intend by this Agreement to commit to a definite course of action with respect to a New Mazda Facility or any land use entitlement. City retains full discretion with respect to any actions authorized by the City of Indio Unified Development Code, any determination under CEQA with respect to a New Mazda Facility, and any mitigation measures or alternatives to a New Mazda Facility pursuant to CEQA, including a decision not to proceed with any approvals for a New Mazda Facility required by the City of Indio Unified Development Code.
5. Indemnification. The Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City and City’s officers, directors, members, employees, agents, contractors and affiliated entities (collectively, the “City Representatives”) harmless from any and all third-party litigation challenging this Agreement or the New Mazda Facility. The Developer’s obligations under the preceding sentence arising prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (as applicable) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. In order to limit the cost of its defense and indemnification under this paragraph, in the event of any such litigation, if and when requested to do so in writing by Developer, City agrees to cancel and rescind the Agreement or any other agreement or approval challenged in the litigation.
6. Representatives. The City Manager, or his or her designee, shall be the representative for the City with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
7. Change in Developer. With the exception of an “Affiliate” (as defined below), no person or entity, whether a voluntary or involuntary successor of Developer, shall acquire any rights or powers under this Agreement, nor shall Developer assign all or any part of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of City. Any such approval by City may be granted, withheld or denied at City's sole and absolute discretion. Any other purported transfer, voluntarily or by operation of law, shall be absolutely null and void and shall
Consideration of Pre-Development Agreement with Palm Springs Motors for ... Page 968 of 1610 4864-5776-2607.1 Page 3 of 7
Pre-Development Agreement
confer no rights whatsoever upon any purported assignee or transferee. As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under common control with Developer. The term “control” as used in the immediately preceding sentence, means, with respect to a person or entity that is a corporation, the right to the exercise, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights attributable to the shares of the controlled corporation, and, with respect to a person or entity that is not a corporation, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the controlled person or entity.
8. City Cooperation. City agrees to cooperate with Developer in providing them with any information and assistance reasonably within the capacity of City to provide in connection with the performance of inspections, the evaluation of a New Mazda Facility, and the preparation of Developer's submissions to City pursuant to this Agreement or as required by state or local laws and regulations. This requirement does not obligate City to incur any monetary costs therefor or exercise its discretion in any particular way.
9. Address for Notices. Any notices pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and sent (i) by Federal Express (or other established and reputable express delivery service which maintains delivery records), (ii) by hand delivery, or (iii) by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the following addresses:

Any Party may designate a different address for itself by notice similarly given. Any notice, demand or document so given, delivered or made by United States mail, shall be deemed to have been given seventy-two (72) hours after the same is deposited in the United States mail as registered or certified mail, addressed as above provided, with postage thereon fully prepaid (or earlier if actually received earlier).
Any notice, demand or document delivered by overnight delivery service shall be deemed complete upon actual delivery or attempted delivery, provided such attempted delivery is made on a business day. Any such notice, demand or document not given by registered or certified mail or by overnight delivery service as aforesaid shall be deemed to be given, delivered or made upon receipt of the same by the Party to whom the same is to be given or delivered.
10. Default. Failure by either Party to negotiate in good faith or to perform any other of its obligations as provided in this Agreement shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement. The non-defaulting Party shall give written notice of a default to the
Consideration of Pre-Development Agreement with Palm Springs Motors for ... Page 969 of 1610 4864-5776-2607.1 Page 4 of 7
Pre-Development Agreement
defaulting Party, specifying the nature of the default and the action required to cure the default. If the default remains uncured fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice (unless more than 15 days is reasonably required for such cure, in which case after such longer time as is reasonably required for such cure, but only if the party in default commences the cure within such 15 days and diligently completes such cure thereafter), the non-defaulting Party may exercise the remedies set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement.
11. Remedies for Breach of Agreement. In the event of a default under this Agreement that has not been cured (or for which cure has not been commenced) within the applicable period under Section 10, the sole remedies of the non-defaulting Party shall be to (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b) institute an action for specific performance of this Agreement. Following the termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall have any further rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement, except as specifically set forth herein. Neither Party shall have any liability to the other for monetary damages for the breach of this Agreement, and each Party hereby waives and releases any such rights or claims for monetary damages it may otherwise have at law or at equity; provided, however, that none of the foregoing shall limit the remedy of specific performance permitted hereunder. The Parties' rights and obligations under this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties, integrates all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto, and supersedes all negotiations or previous agreements between the Parties or their predecessors in interest with respect to all or any part of the subject matter hereof.
13. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of every portion of this Agreement in which time is a material part.
14. Agreement Does Not Constitute Development Approval. City reserves final discretion and approval as to any New Mazda Facility and all proceedings and decisions in connection therewith. This Agreement shall not be construed as a grant of development rights or land use entitlements to construct a New Mazda Facility or any other project. All design, architectural, and building plans for any New Mazda Facility shall be subject to the review and approval of City and any other Federal, State or local entity with jurisdiction over the New Mazda Facility. By its execution of this Agreement, City is not committing itself to or agreeing to undertake any acts or activities requiring the subsequent independent exercise of discretion by City or any agency or department thereof.
15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any action or proceeding arising from this Agreement shall be brought in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside.

In 2019, the City of Indio entered into an agreement with the County of Riverside’s Riverside University Health System – Behavioral Health ("RUHS-BH") for a full-time Clinical Therapist II (CT II) for a threeyear term, totaling $300,000. The Agreement expired on June 30, 2022. The purpose of this Agreement is to expend the remaining grant funds ($138,052) over the Term of the Agreement. The Agreement will extend the Police Department’s use of the CT II position within a program period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025. The County of Riverside Board of Supervisors will consider the Agreement at their October 4, 2022, meeting. RUHS-BH will continue to provide crisis triage behavioral health services to the Indio Police Department as part of the City's Community-Based Transitional Housing grant-funded program. Qualified behavioral health service staff will team with Quality of Life officers when responding to 9-1-1 calls for service involving individuals with behavioral health issues. The City's partnership with RUHS-BH will enhance the City's Quality of Life Program and the Department's ability to provide critical, contractual behavioral health services to this segment of the population.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Mike Washburn, Chief of Police
Subject: Approve the purchase from Long Beach BMW Motorcycles in the amount of $121,482.51 for three (3) new 2023 R 1250 RT-P BMW Police motorcycles.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the purchase of three (3) new 2023 R 1250 RT-P BMW Police motorcycles from Long Beach BMW Motorcycles in the amount of $121,483.
SUMMARY:
Currently, the Police Department has three police motorcycles that have met the City’s criteria for replacement. As these motorcycles have continued to age and deteriorate they have also become less dependable. These motorcycles have exceeded established guidelines for replacement and as repair and maintenance costs have accelerated on these vehicles it is more cost-effective for the City to replace these motorcycles. The cost includes the up-fitting of the new motorcycles.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As these three (3) police motorcycles are emergency response vehicles and as they have fulfilled their lifecycle, the replacement of these vehicles is a critical need for the City. Fleet Services has verified that these replacement motorcycles will meet the needs of the Police Department.
Additionally, the replacement motorcycles will integrate new technology and equipment features that will assist in providing needed dependable emergency response, improved gas mileage, and more cost-effective service to the public.
Staff had prepared specifications for these needed vehicles and had sought quotes from various vendors. Two quotes were submitted as follows.
Bidder's Name Business Location Quote

City Council
September 21, 2022
STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Steven Graham, City Attorney
Subject: Reconsideration of the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency and determine that the legislative bodies of the City of Indio will continue to hold meetings via teleconferencing pursuant to the findings set forth in Government Code Section 54953(e)(3).
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council has (i) reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (2) finds that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of the City’s legislative bodies to meet safety in person and Cal OSHA continues to recommend measures to promote social distancing.
SUMMARY:
To continue to have the ability to meet remotely pursuant Government Code Section 54953(e) (AB 361), the City Council must make certain finings no later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to AB 361, and every 30 days thereafter. The City Council reconsiders the findings it previously made and then makes a determination of whether the State’s COVID-19 declared state of emergency continues to impact the ability of all of the members of the City’s legislative bodies from meeting safely in person and as a result of the state of emergency, meeting in person presents imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. Accordingly, the City Council has previously held that the City's legislative bodies may continue to use virtual teleconferenced meetings in compliance with Government Code Section 54953(e).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City Council and its legislative bodies have met remotely throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. The factual circumstances exist for the City’s legislative bodies to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361. The state of emergency is still in effect and the City Council has previously reconsidered the findings and determined that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members of the City's legislative bodies to meet safely in person.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been several COVID-19 variants, including the Delta variant, the Omicron variant (which was prevalent in the beginning of the year), and the subvariant BA2, which is sometimes referred to as the "stealth omicron" and is a subvariant of Omicron. With the start of the summer, the number of coronavirus cases has significantly increased. In addition, there are two new Omicron strains (BA.4 and BA.5) that have become dominant.
AGENDA ITEM #9.17
Reconsideration of the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency ... Page 996 of 1610 During the month of July in Riverside County, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continued to increase along with many other counties in Southern California. For example, between July 8th and July 11th, Riverside County added 4,238 new cases. Between July 13 and July 20th, there were 814 cases reported. Towards the end of July, the case number decreased to 746 cases for the reporting period ending July 27th. While COVID-19 cases continue to remain high, the numbers are decreasing.
In the City of Indio, for the reporting period ending July 27th, Indio had an increase of 181 cases, 1 additional death and 320 recoveries.
Notwithstanding the lifting of the universal mask mandate, Cal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards continue to recognize the importance of social distancing and states that the fact that particles containing the virus can travel more than six feet, especially indoors, training and instruction should be given to employees in that regard as well as inform that physical distancing, face coverings, increased ventilation indoors, and respiratory protection decrease the spread of COVID-19 and are most effective when used in combination.
Accordingly, it remains prudent that we monitor and continue the flexibility of a hybrid format will allow the continuation of the City’s business so that Council or Commission meetings would not have to be cancelled should members have health concerns or are sick and would provide the flexibility to each member of a legislative body to determine for themselves based on their own health matters whether attending a meeting will be risk to their health and safety or to those attending the meeting.
Even if the City Council continues to make the findings as required, the City Council and each of the City’s commissions can continue to meet in person and the chambers can continue to stay open. This determination does not require that meetings only be held remotely. This determination, however, would allow the City to make adjustments if needed (temporarily closing the chambers to the public) should COVID-19 continue to rapidly rise or the new variants threaten the health and safety of the public including staff and members of the City’s legislative bodies.
In conclusion, by reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID19 pandemic and finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person, the public meetings of the City of Indio can continue to be conducted by Zoom for the next 30 days.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Re-Introduction of Ordinance No. 1779 Amending Chapter 159 (Zoning Regulations) of the Indio Municipal Code to allow Cannabis Storefront Retailer and Cannabis Non-Storefront Retailer Businesses in certain areas of the City and finding that Re-Introduced Ordinance No. 1779 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive full reading of Re-Introduced Ordinance No. 1779 Amending Chapter 159 (Zoning Regulations) of the Indio Municipal Code to allow Cannabis Storefront Retailer and Cannabis Non-Storefront Retailer Businesses in certain area of the City, introduce the re-introduced ordinance by title only and request the City Clerk to read the title.
SUMMARY:
Re-Introduction of Ordinance No. 1779 to meet state and city publication requirements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
California Governmental Code Section 36993 specifies that within 15 days after its passage, the city clerk shall cause each ordinance to be published at least once, with the names of those city council members voting for and against the ordinance, in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the city, or if there is none, he or she shall cause it to be posted in at least three public places in the city or published in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the county and circulated in the city.
Subsection 10.15 of the Indio Municipal Code specifies that all ordinances passed by the City Council requiring publication shall take effect from and after the due publication thereof, unless otherwise expressly provided.
The City Council previously adopted Ordinance No. 1779 with the first reading conducted on May 18, 2022 and the second reading on June 1, 2022. Recently, the City Clerk Administrator determined that the second reading of the ordinance was not published in accordance with state and city regulations.
Therefore, upon the advice of the City Attorney, Ordinance No. 1779 will be re-introduced for first reading on September 21, 2022 and will be re-introduced for second reading on October 5, 2022.
There are no changes to the text and substance of Ordinance No. 1779 with this requested reintroduction action.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Introduction of Ordinance No. 1779 Amending Chapter 159 (Zoning Regulations) of the Indio Municipal Code to allow Cannabis Storefront Retailer and Cannabis Non-Storefront Retailer Businesses in certain areas of the City and finding that Ordinance No. 1779 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive full reading of Ordinance No. 1779 Amending Chapter 159 (Zoning Regulations) of the Indio Municipal Code to allow Cannabis Storefront Retailer and Cannabis Non-Storefront Retailer Businesses in certain area of the City, introduce the ordinance by title only and request the City Clerk to read the title.
SUMMARY:
Beginning in late 2020 and continuing to present, the City Council has conducted public discussions on the potential allowance of cannabis activities in the City inclusive of a joint study session with the Planning Commission on March 2, 2022. At the conclusion of its discussion on March 2, 2022, the City Council directed staff to prepare regulations related to the conduct of Cannabis Storefront Retailer and Cannabis Non-Storefront Retailer Businesses including zoning regulations; for its future review and consideration. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on April 27, 2022 for the proposed zoning text amendment. There was no written or oral testimony submitted during the public hearing. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission deliberated and voted 4-0 to recommend to the City Council the approval of the zoning text amendment. A notice of public hearing for the zoning text amendment before the City Council on May 18, 2022 was published in the Desert Sun, a newspaper of general circulation, on May 6, 2022 exceeding the minimum 10-day public notice period. This notice consisted of an 1/8 of a page display ad for conformity to California Government Code Section 65091.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Federal Government has issued guidelines for states and local governments that have enacted laws authorizing cannabis-related conduct, requiring them to implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will address the threat that medical and adult-use cannabis activity could pose to public safety, public health, and other law enforcement interests.
On June 17, 2017, the Medical and Adult Use-Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) was signed into law, which provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for licensing, control and taxation of medical and adult-use cannabis-related businesses in California.
Re-Introduction of Ordinance No. 1779 Amending Chapter 159 (Zoning Regul... Page 1004 of 1610 On December 16, 2017, the Indio City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1726 establishing Subsections 159.565 through 159.568 of the Indio Municipal Code prohibiting commercial cannabis activity in the City.
Beginning in late 2020 and continuing to present, the City Council had conducted public discussions on the potential allowance of cannabis activities in the City inclusive a joint study session with the Planning Commission on March 2, 2022. At the conclusion of the March 2 meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare regulations related to the conduct of Cannabis Storefront Retailer and Cannabis Non-Storefront Retailer Businesses in the City. Non-Storefront Retailer businesses are those cannabis businesses that engage in "delivery" only and do not open up their business to the public.
Zoning is a planning control tool used to regulate the physical development of land. Zoning promotes desirable development patterns and protects the public peace, health, safety and general welfare by preventing incompatible uses. Accordingly, amendments to the City's zoning regulations are initially considered by the Planning Commission, which makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council, in turn, reviews the Commission's recommendation and makes a final decision on the formal adoption of the amendment.
The proposed ordinance permits a cannabis storefront retailer and a cannabis non-storefront retailer business as a use that is permitted by right in certain land use areas of the City. Specifically, these uses will be permitted in all commercial land use districts except on properties that are zoned Neighborhood Commercial; in all mixed-use land use districts; and on properties that are within a Specific Plan or Project Master Plan that permit commercial land uses with the exception of properties designated as Neighborhood Commercial. Any other type of commercial cannabis activity is prohibited.
In addition to the areas where cannabis retailers will be permitted to operate, the proposed ordinance requires that the business obtain a regulatory or business permit from the City as well as a City business license and a State of California seller's permit. The City will be adopting the regulatory ordinance separately from this zoning code amendment.
Under State law, personal indoor cultivation is permitted as a matter of right. The provisions in the proposed ordinance related to personal indoor cultivation is a carry-over from the City's current provisions on this topic.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) COMPLIANCE
The Community Development Director has determined the amendment to Chapter 159 (Zoning Regulations) of Title XV (Land Usage) is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Adoption of this Ordinance is covered by the common sense exemption in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the Ordinance allows cannabis retailers as a permitted uses in commercial areas of the City including mixed use zones and in area regulated by a specific plan or project master plan that authorizes commercial land uses. These areas already allows for uses akin to cannabis retailers such as general retail outlets and drug stores and the like.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING COMPLIANCE
Findings and Conclusions:
The following are the Findings and Conclusions pertaining to the zoning text amendment:
GENERAL PLAN:
The City Council adopted the General Plan 2040 on September 18, 2019. The following are General Plan policies relevant and applicable to the proposed zoning text amendment:
The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with Policy LU-2.2 (Balanced land uses) that reads “Maintain a balanced land use pattern to support a broad range of housing choices, retail businesses, employment opportunities, educational and cultural institutions, entertainment spaces, and other supportive uses and within long-established Indio neighborhoods and new growth areas.” The proposed zoning text amendment will expand the City’s retail base by permitting retail land uses that are not currently allowed to operate within the City limits. Further, the allowance of these businesses will create additional employment opportunities in a retail sector that is not currently operating in the City.
The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with Policy ED-6.1 (New retailers) that reads:
“Where appropriate, support the entry of new retail uses into the City, including uses that will attract spending from visitors and residents of neighboring communities in the Coachella Valley.” The proposed zoning text amendment will expand the City’s retail base by permitting retail land uses that are not currently allowed to operate within the City limits. Cannabis storefront retail activities will attract visitors and residents from surrounding communities to purchase cannabis within the City that will result in expanded business activities in the City and increased sales tax revenue directly to the City to support the City’s role as a full-service community.
The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with Policy ED-6.2 (Retail development) that reads: “Support retail development that meets the community needs of Indio’s residents in appropriate locations in order to prevent the leakage of local expenditures to neighboring communities”. The proposed zoning text amendment will authorize new retail uses in the City that are not currently allowed based on the adoption of Ordinance No. 1726 in 2017. Subsequent to this adoption, surrounding communities such as Cathedral City, Coachella, Palm Desert and Palm Springs have adopted regulations that authorize cannabis storefront activities. This has caused leakage in local expenditures as residents and visitors to the City of Indio are spending money in these communities rather than in the City.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Roxanne Diaz, City Attorney
Subject: Introduction of Ordinance No. 1780 adding a new Chapter 123 to Title XI of the Indio Municipal to regulate and permit commercial cannabis activities in the City; and making a determination that the Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15060(c)(3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive full reading of Ordinance No. 1780 adding a new Chapter 123 to Title XI of the Indio Municipal Code to regulate and permit commercial cannabis activities in the City, introduce the ordinance by title only and request the City Clerk to read the title.
SUMMARY:
Ordinance No. 1780 establishes a regulatory framework to permit commercial cannabis activities in the City. If adopted, the ordinance will permit only cannabis retail activity. Staff and the City’s consultant will return with proposed policies and procedures for the processing, review and selection of the applications at a later date. Separately, the City Council also has before it a related land use ordinance that establishes the locations in the City where retail commercial cannabis businesses are permitted.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In the later part of 2021, the City Council requested that the City Manager bring forward the discussion on permitting cannabis uses in the City. To that end, the City engaged Hinderliter, De Llamas and Associates (“HdL”) to assist the City with the discussion and potential drafting of an ordinance. HdL is a leader in cannabis consulting services, providing jurisdictions in California, with assistance or development of regulations and/or ordinances, application process development, application review, tax administration including audit services and other services related to the cannabis industry. HdL proceeded with meeting with staff in addition to providing an overview of the economic market conditions and approach to the City Council at various study sessions. The result is the proposed ordinance which has previously been reviewed with the Council and the Planning Commission for the City Council’s formal consideration.
Ordinance No. 1780 provides the regulatory framework for permitting commercial cannabis activities in the City. As proposed, the ordinance permits cannabis retail activity, establishes sensitive use buffers and establishes requirements regarding security, recordkeeping, signage, odor and customer access. This ordinance does not establish the locations where cannabis retail businesses can locate.
The location for such businesses is set forth in a separate land use ordinance that will also be reviewed
Re-Introduction of Ordinance No. 1780 adding a new Chapter 123 to Title ... Page 1049 of 1610 by the City Council at the May 18, 2022 meeting. This ordinance also does not establish the process by which applications for permits will be processed, reviewed or selected. This will be further delineated in a resolution to be adopted by the City Council at a later date as authorized by Section 123.13 of Ordinance No. 1780.
As stated above, this regulatory ordinance provides detailed general operating requirements in the following areas: odor control, age-verification, signage, background checks, record keeping and inventory tracking. In addition, hours of operation for the retail businesses are limited to 9:00 am through 9:00 p.m., seven days a week and no on-site consumption is allowed. The ordinance also contains detailed security requirements such as exterior lighting, alarm system, 24-hour video camera surveillance, panic buttons and requires the business owner to establish emergency response protocols. Last, each commercial cannabis business will be required to enter into an operating agreement with the City prior to opening that will include a negotiated public benefit fee and any other community benefits that is offered by the business.
Staff reviewed Ordinance No. 1780 and determined that as a regulatory ordinance, Ordinance No. 1780 is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) as it is not a project as defined by CEQA.
