Tuesday, December 17, 2024
Community Services Director Hause narrated a PowerPoint presentation with details of a timeline of the topic and a review of the most recent version of the City’s draft Cannabis Regulatory Ordinances. She requested additional direction from Council regarding the sales tax rate.
Councilmember Behrendt reported he was recently reminded that residents never voted on the specific question of whether to allow cannabis shops in the City; referenced an online survey and in-person interactions to determine where residents stood on the matter; noted that although many are in favor, there is no majority support in District 5 for cannabis shops; listed some of the reasons residents are opposed to retail cannabis shops including sending the wrong message to the youths and oversaturation of existing smoke, vape and liquor shops; believed a fair compromise would be to proceed with storefront cannabis in Redondo Beach, but not on Artesia Boulevard between Aviation and Inglewood.
Councilmember Loewenstein mentioned an online survey is one of the worst ways to gauge public opinion and stated the City does not set policy based on online polling.
Regarding the compromise offered by Councilmember Behrendt, he stated it is not his district and would rather defer it to the Councilmember whose district it is in but felt if the store is done right, he is not opposed to a retail store.
Councilmember Obagi referenced Slide 3A; felt Councilmember Behrendt is being true to his constituents; spoke about issues concerning District 4; noted the corridor area has surplus parking; opined going with Councilmember Behrendt’s suggestions would push parking to Aviation or to the Galleria; talked about a section on Aviation being allergic to cannabis because of lack of parking and surmised that Artesia Boulevard is much more suitable for a cannabis retail storefront; voiced his opposition to the compromise.
Councilmember Behrendt offered an alternative location for a cannabis shop on Artesia Boulevard.
Councilmember Kaluderovic asked Councilmember Behrendt what makes Artesia less viable as a retail location than the other viable locations in North Redondo.
Councilmember Behrendt reported he is concerned because Artesia Boulevard is already oversaturated with smoke shops and liquor stores and because of the proximity to residential uses and schools; mentioned the work Councilmember Obagi has done to make Artesia more attractive and this would not be a good addition to it.
Councilmember Kaluderovic felt there is no area that will not be tangible to students, acknowledged the discussion is important but asserted that the points made by Councilmember Behrendt can point to other areas in the City.
Councilmember Nehrenheim agreed about the oversaturation of smoke shops along Artesia; felt a contributing factor is that the City has no outlet legal process to police the

illegal shops and, by providing a pathway for legal shops, the City can do enforcement and ensure compliance; talked about having a high-end legal shop raising the bar for everyone and a good diamond mind in leasing and ownership ; expressed concerns about unintended consequences.
Councilmember Behrendt announced enforcement took place today on an illegal cannabis shop on Artesia.
Councilmember Nehrenheim stated he supports a 4% sales tax as that was what was agreed to in a previous Council meeting.
Councilmember Loewenstein supported a 5% sales tax.
Community Services Director Hause reported that at one point, Council thought a development agreement of 5% would be fair.
Councilmember Obagi recalled the various cannabis companies were asked to tell Council the highest tax rate they could accept, and conversations landed on 7% or 8%; spoke in favor of a 5% rate after the rates for everything were raised in the last budget.
Councilmember Behrendt reported Council had spoke about 3% for a reason; felt it appropriate to set a rate at 4%; talked about decreasing the black market and noted the goal is to be a competitive and an attractive market for cannabis and the 4% rate should generate more customers and revenue.
Councilmember Obagi suggested a compromise at a 4.5% tax rate.
Councilmembers agreed with the compromise.
Community Services Director Hause requested direction regarding transfer of ownership.
Mayor Light recalled that Council was concerned with a business owner getting the entitlements and selling the business.
Councilmember Nehrenheim stated his support for requiring at least three years of operation.
Councilmember Kaluderovic recalled that there was a requirement to begin operations no later than 24 months after being awarded a license.
Discussion followed regarding the pros and cons of restricting or allowing for ownership transfer and the City’s discretion for denying a new owner.
Community Development Director Hause reported that the transferee’s application will be treated as a new application and will be evaluated according to procedures adopted

in the ordinance and will be vetted the same way. She responded to questions from Council about minimizing potential liability and the source of the proposed examples.
City Attorney Webb (via Zoom) addressed the pros and cons of allowing and prohibiting transfer of ownership; noted Council has less control if it allows the ability to transfer ownership.
Discussion followed regarding allowing the transfer while giving the City more say and the need to have a standard.
Councilmember Obagi referenced Slide 3A and in response to his question regarding the redline version, City Attorney Webb talked about the need to establish the pass/fail standard.
Councilmember Kaluderovic explained that she would lean towards not allowing the transfer of ownership, otherwise, Council would need to establish a minimum.
Councilmember Obagi suggested requiring the applicant to achieve at least as many points as the approved licensee achieved within the prior round.
Councilmember Loewenstein left the chambers.
Community Services Director Hause stated the only way they could vary in points would be in the ownership background and those specific to security.
Councilmember Obagi added they should have at least as many points as their predecessor.
Councilmember Loewenstein returned to the chambers.
In reply to Councilmember Nehrenheim’s question, Councilmember Kaluderovic spoke about the only thing different being the ownership information.
Councilmember Nehrenheim supported keeping the language relative to being 3 years in operation after opening. He felt that leaving it as is, opens the Council to making a decision based on the merits.
Mayor Light noted the red line version is not consistent with the back line version.
Community Services Director Hause noted an error and made the appropriate correction to harmonize the requirements.
City Manager Witzansky talked about the goal of ensuring safe and continued operation; reported to allow for transfers gives the next buyer an opportunity to do that ; mentioned the City would require that they maintain the same level of care and standards of operation; indicated that Councilmember Obagi’s suggestion to bring them back for the

City to judge their proposed plan is a good suggestion, since it should mirror what was submitted originally, and if it does not, they would need to articulate it, and it will need to be at or above the prior standard; felt it was a solid metric.
More discussion followed.
Community Services Director Hause offered to wordsmith the document and return to Council for approval.
City Attorney Webb (via Zoom) reported that one of the issues is to specifically identify some of the things Council has discussed in terms of the same or better scores in specific areas; stated staff will develop operational standards and other areas where they must meet a minimum score and Council can make additional edits at a future meeting.
Community Services Director Hause spoke about needing direction relative to the definition of “owner”.
Discussion followed regarding requiring all owners to be listed in the application but only majority, with an interest of 20% or more, would participate in the interview process, using the same definition of “owner” as the State’s and ensuring the owner/operator is part of the interview process.
Councilmember Obagi referenced Slide 3A; addressed the definition of “ owner”; expressed support and noted he is open to other ideas.
Councilmember Obagi left the chambers.
Discussion followed regarding adding to the interview portion of the application process that not just owners with 20% or more interest, but also management and operational staff, including but not limited to CEO, on-site Managers, etc.
Councilmember Nehrenheim suggested lowering the percentage of ownership to 15% or 10% to capture who the true owners are.
Community Services Director Hause requested direction regarding the time between final selection and operation and discussed prior direction.
Council agreed with prior direction of 24 months between issuance of a license and operations.
Regarding interview criteria, Community Services Director Hause confirmed that interviews will be conducted by staff and Council will only hear appeals.
Council agreed with the interview criteria as presented.
Additionally, Community Services Director Hause confirmed with Council suggested

edits as shown in the presentation and Council agreed with them.
Councilmember Behrendt talked about whether Council would like one cannabis retailer per district.
Councilmember Kaluderovic recalled a discussion regarding one cannabis retailer per zip code; talked about District 3 having areas of both North and South Redondo.
Community Services Director Hause referenced the September 17, 2024 City Council meeting, where the final motion was direction for staff to “remove the section that stated no retailer shall be established or located within 1000 feet, measured from the nearest property lines of each of the affective parcels or any other cannabis retailer”.
Councilmember Behrendt commented on allowing one cannabis retailer per district.
Community Services Director Hause provided an update on outstanding items including the fee schedule, the permit application form, a property owner consent and landlord affidavit and ultimately, the RFP; stated that if Council is generally accepting of the ordinance, staff can prepare it for first reading at the January 21, 2025 City Council meeting.
Councilmembers Obagi, Kaluderovic and Loewenstein thanked Community Services Director Hause for ushering in the ordinance.
Councilmember Nehrenheim spoke about making sure that the public understands there are multiple pathways to rescind the ordinance, licenses and CUPs. He referenced the State’s definition of ownership and agreed with Staff’s recommendations.
Mayor Light summarized the discussion noting general consensus regarding setting the tax rate at 4.5%, that regarding the transfer of ownership, it can be done after 3 years of operation and the new owner must maintain or improve the same minimum score as the original applicants, to list all owners in the application but include those with 20% or greater interest in the business, management and operational staff in the interview process and to set a maximum of 24 months between issuance of a license and operations.
Councilmember Behrendt mentioned the Permit Administrator will be a delegate of the City Manager and has taken on a number of ministerial duties and other functions; wondered if there are any duties of the Permit Administrator that should be done by Council such as the option to renew.
Mayor Light suggested having the Permit Administrator maintain his/her duties to advise the Council.
Community Services Director Hause reported it is up to the Permit Administrator to grant the two, two-year extensions and if the Permit Administrator does not grant them, it

would appeal to City Council.
Councilmember Behrendt proposed that City Council review the option to renew after five years of operation, instead of the Permit Administrator.
Mayor Light noted that future Councils can make changes as they see fit.
Councilmember Obagi spoke about hearing from operators that if Council wants to interview staff, they can be subject to a “bait and switch” and there is nothing holding the operator from actually employing those staff members in Redondo Beach.
Mayor Light spoke about the Federal Government requiring letters of commitment ; noted that in California, they do not stand up, because a person has a right to a job.
City Manager Witzansky spoke about evaluating the ownership structure and management staff.
Mayor Light announced Mayor Pro Tem Kaluderovic will take charge of the meeting and left the chambers.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaluderovic invited public comments.
Melissa DeChandt, expressed her opposition to cannabis dispensary storefronts in the City; claimed that they increase the youth use of cannabis; urged Council to protect the youth and not try to make revenue this way; discussed illegal smoke shops; thanked Councilmember Behrendt for supporting the community; disagreed with Councilmember Loewenstein’s claims about online surveys; reported residents voted not to have dispensaries in the City.
Joan Irvine, District 1, expressed excitement about moving Council moving forward with this ordinance; spoke about her involvement in online youth protection; asserted that illegal sales will be thwarted by providing legal, adult -only cannabis dispensaries; described a new trend ( robotripping), where kids abuse over -the-counter cough medication with DXP for a PCP-like effect; noted alcohol remains the drug of choice for teenagers and there are over 200 establishments in the City where they can go.
Additionally, she mentioned on-line predators; questioned whether two legal cannabis stores in the City will destroy the youth; listed the benefits legal dispensaries will provide; suggested keeping the appeals window to 30 days; asserted that once an operator obtains a license, they will not need 24 months to open, as they have already spent thousands of dollars to get to this point.
Discussion followed regarding the number of days to file and the appeals window.
Courtney Caron mentioned Section 1.2 includes a requirement for proof of federal compliance; noted cannabis is not federally compliant and suggested removing “federal” from the definition; spoke about independent auditor requirements and related points;

reported Section 2.1 lists the wrong code and discussed additional edits to Sections 1.5,

Devin Wardlow, Embark, thanked Council and City staff for its work on this matter; felt it is time to move forward and clarified a requirement (Section 1, No. 4) relative to the applicant’s history and relationships.
Mayor Light returned to the chambers.
Councilmember Loewenstein left the chambers.
