• Waterfront park development - Developer estimates cost at $5M • Shoreline Drive retention - Developer has agreed but has also offered alternative that increases park acreage and removes Shoreline Drive extension • Community Benefits Contribution – Developer committed to contribute $500,000 and has already distributed $150,000
• Full Compliance with the City’s Inclusionary Housing Requirements – The Project will fully comply with the 10% inclusionary requirements without counting the 43 ADUs
• Payment of Site Security Cost – Developer agreed
Special comment should be made on one point . The surrounding communities are in Brickyard Cove. The Terminal 1 Project along with other development projects in the area will bring construction traffic, and truck traffic related to the import/export of soils . That is being analyzed and addressed through the development and CEQA process. Currently the Brickyard roadway is private and maintained by the Homeowners Associations—and as the roadway ages, maintenance costs will increase . It has long been contemplated that these roadways would be dedicated to the City and maintained by the City thereafter.
The Amended LDA will include the Developer’s commitment to pay its fair share cost to the rebuilding of the roadway so that when the City takes over the roadway, it will meet City standards.
The City Attorney is seeking authorization from the Council to finalize the terms of an amended LDA consistent with this report.
D. SURPLUS PROPERTY
The Property has been deemed to be surplus land of the City and as such is subject to the provisions of the Surplus Land Act (SLA) (Government Code sections 54220-54234).
The SLA was amended in 2020 and 2021 to expand the requirements that local agencies must follow prior to disposition of surplus property. However, since the Property is subject to an existing disposition agreement, it may be exempt from the new SLA requirements so long as the Property is transferred prior to December 31, 2023.
In anticipation of closing the transaction by the end of the year and in accordance with the SLA, the Council should adopt a resolution finding t hat the Property is exempt from the standard SLA process. The resolution must be filed with the HCD in order for the SLA exemption to apply to the Property, and notice must be given to HCD 30 days in advance of the closing.
Accordingly, staff is seeking Council approval of the attached resolution which de clares the property “exempt surplus” land based on findings supporting the applicability of the exemption.
E. PUBLIC INPUT ON COMMUNITY BENEFITS

November 22, 2022
In accordance with Chapter 15.04 of the Richmond Municipal Code (RMC), the Project must comply with the City’s Community Benefits Policy. The Community Benefits Policy provides, among other things, that developers of certain large projects should contribute to the City’s Community Benefits Fund due to a project’s impact on public funds, City planning, and community i nterests. The Community Benefits Fund can be used by the City for community benefits as provided in RMC section 15.04.816.060.
Developer has committed to contribute $500,000 to the City’s Community Benefits Fund and has already contributed $150,000. In a ddition, the Developer has committed to providing an accessible, restored wharf and community park and trail as part of the Project.
Pursuant to the Community Benefits Policy Enhanced Transparency and Review procedures set forth in RMC section 15.04.816.050, the Council must review and receive public input regarding the community benefits proposed by the Developer as part of the Project as well as the proposed terms of the Project.

Accordingly, Developer, as City's prospective successor in interest with regard to ownership of the Residential Property, and City, consistent with its obligations as trustee of lands subject to the Trust, agree to collaborate in a good faith diligent effort to determine if there are Trust-related clouds on title to the Residential Property, and if such clouds are found to exist, to negotiate a title settlement agreement with the State Lands Commission, together with any additional SLC approvals as necessary to enable City to convey clear title to the Residential Property at Closing (collectively, the "SLC Approvals"). The terms of the title settlement agreement and other SLC Approvals shall be mutually acceptable to both City and Developer. In the event City and Developer are unable to secure mutually acceptable SLC Approvals in sufficient time so as not to delay the Close of Escrow, the additional time required to secure such approvals shall be deemed a Permitted Delay pursuant to Section 11.6 and shall toll the Entitlement Period. If, in spite of the good faith diligent efforts of the Parties, mutually acceptable SLC Approvals cannot be secured and Trust-related clouds remain on title that City is unwilling or unable to endorse over, Developer may elect either: (a) to reject title and terminate this Agreement, in which case City shall retain the Deposit and any interest thereon and shall be entitled to retain the Planning Documents, and City and Developer shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (b) to accept title subject to the Trust-related clouds on title (in which case such Trust-related clouds on title shall thereafter constitute Permitted Exceptions) and proceed with the purchase of the Residential Property.

This Agreement describes some, but not all, of the circumstances in which the preparation and execution of Operating Memoranda may be appropriate. Operating Memoranda may be executed on the City's behalf by the City Manager. Operating Memoranda shall not require prior notice or hearing, and shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement. Any significant modification to the terms of performance under this Agreement shall be processed as an amendment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 1 0.22, and must be approved by the City Council.
Execution Copy 43
11.25 Indemnity. Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold City harmless against all third party claims made against City in any legal action or proceeding, including administrative proceedings, arbitrations, and regulatory actions, which arises out of or in connection with: (a) the approval and implementation of this Agreement, including without limitation any third party claims involving a challenge to the approval of this Agreement or the Entitlements and the related environmental review under CEQA and the National Environmental Policy Act; (b) the ownership or occupancy of the Residential Property subsequent to Closing, including without limitation any third party claims related to the Developer's introduction of Hazardous Substances; and (c) the development of or construction on the Residential Property, Park Property or BNSF Property by Developer or Developer's contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees or tenants under this Agreement (collectively, the "Third Party Claims"). Developer's obligation to indemnify and hold City harmless shall apply to any liability, damages, losses, judgments, or costs incurred by City as a result of Third Party Claims; provided that Developer's indemnification and hold harmless obligations shall be exclusive of any actions brought by Developer or Developer's successors-in-interest and shall not extend to any claim caused solely by the City's failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or caused solely by the City's or its officers', agents', contractors', or employees', negligence or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.25, however, in the event that a Third Party Claim against the City is resolved in a manner that allocates any portion of the liability therefore to City's negligence or willful misconduct, City shall be responsible for paying that portion of the Third Party Claim that is attributable to City's negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the foregoing obligation of Developer to indemnify, defend, and hold City harmless shall not apply to any liability or claims of any kind that arise out of or in connection with the public use of the Offsite Improvements after the completion and acceptance thereof by the City.
The duty of Developer to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Developer shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by City, the City and its officers, agents, contractors, employees and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Developer of the Third Party Claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Developer are responsible for the claim does not relieve Developer from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 11.25. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals.
The provisions of this Section 11 .25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.
11.26 Identity and Authority. Each of the persons executing this Agreement on behalf of the Developer does hereby covenant and warrant: that the Developer is a duly authorized and existing Delaware limited liability company, in good standing and authorized to transact business in the State of California; that the Execution Copy 44
Developer shall remain In good standing; that the Developer has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out all actions on its part contemplated by this Agreement; that the execution and delivery of this Agreement were duly authorized by proper action of the Developer and no consent, authorization or approval of any person is necessary in connection with such execution and delivery or to carry out all actions on the Developer's part contemplated by this Agreement, except as have been obtained and are in full force and effect; and that this Agreement constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Developer.
11.27 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed In counterparts and multiple originals.
11.28 Exhibits. The following Exhibits are attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference:
Exhibit A - Residential Property Description

SCOPE OF DEVELOPMENT
Vision for the Terminal One Project:
Terminal One Development LLC (the "Developer") will build a high quality residential community consisting of a mix oftlats, townhomcs and single family homes in several separate buildings (the "Project"). The Project will include a maximum number of units to be determined based on community consultation and as approved by the City. The design of the Project will maximize green space and will incorporate a pasco in the center of the property to enhance the pedestrian experience both for residents and for the public.
Striking views of the Bay will be an important component featured in the design of the units. Units will "step up" from low-rise, single family residential closest to the water to townhomes and then mid-rise flats on the inland portion of the property. This design capitalizes on the maximum view potential for all residents.
Stakeholders and Sensitivities:
The Developer has solicited input from a variety of stakeholders and will attempt to achieve the goals expressed by the community, including:
• Minimize the impact of the Project on views enjoyed by neighboring communities. The Project's tallest buildings are situated closest to the open space bluff on the Northeast side of the property, thus taking advantage of the natural change in elevation to blend in with view corridors.
• Cooperate with Trails for Richmond Action Committee (TRAC) to extend the Bay Trail through the property.
• Help to achieve the ~ity of Richmond's housing goals. • Create a design complementary to both existing development and the natural environment.
4832-3173-8652v.2
• Enhance property values in the immediate urea.
• Improve and enhance the City-owned public pier for the enjoyment of the citizens of Richmond and visitors from around the Buy Area and beyond. • Increase the property tux base for the benctit of the City of Richmond. • Enhance landscaping. Particular attention will be paid to landscaping within the Project, project open spaces, the pasco and the Bay Trail.
Minimum Project Expectations:
The Developer will develop a high-quality residential community at the Project comprised of the following features:
Land Use:
Unit Size:
Parking:
Open Space:
Infrastructure:
For-sale flats, townhomcs and single family homes.
Units will range in size from approximately 900-3,500 square feet.
Parking will meet the City of Richmond parking requirements.
The Developer will provide ample open space throughout the community, including a pasco open to the public.
The Developer will install on-site and limited off-site infrastructure, extensions and/or connections to existing infrastructure, or provide new on-site facilities to serve the Project.
• Brickyard Cove Road: The Developer will construct surface improvements to Brickyard Cove Road from Doman Drive to the Terminal One community, retaining two lanes without a median, and the improvements will be dedicated to the City. • Sewer and Water: The Project will rely on existing and available sewer and water capacity.
Local Ordinances: The Developer will comply with all local ordinances relating to a project of the scope of the Terminal One Project. In conjunction with its consultants, the Developer will document its efforts to comply with local ordinances.

engaged the community on the issues
and opportunitie s rc:lated w the rede
vc:lopment of a 14 a re bayfront site
(commonly known as Termin al One)
on Dornan Drive at Brickyard Cove
Road in Point Richmond. lluough
a series of duee publ ic workshops,
stakeholders created design objec
tives for the site and explored feasible
design option s that resulted in the
articulation of design guidelines in
this summary report.
B. Planning Process
'I hrce workshop s were held to en
gage the community in planning for
rhe sire. lhe fi rsr workshop held on
December I Gth, 2006, reviewed and
discussed the project issues, design
objectives and opportunitie s of the
proposed sire development. 'l11e feed
back generated at this meeting created
the Community Design Objectives.
llte Objecrives related to the four
topics of Development Character,
Building Design, Access and Circula
tion and Views.
1l1e second workshop held on
Saturday, January 27, 2007 was an
interactive charene with community
members to explore various site plan
options that best represent the Com
munity Design Objectives. Partici
pants were divided into three small
groups for a site planning and design
exercise. Following the small group
exercise, everyone reconvened into
a large group to identify and discuss
common themes.
The third workshop held on February
24, 2007 summarized the outcomes
of the small group design process
from the second workshop and identi
fied the common Community Design
Concepts that resulted from a com
parative analysis of the results of the
small group design exercises.

Port of Richmond terminal for over
70 years. ' l11e primary induM ri a lu~c:
of the: site: was the: storage: of liquid
products such as petroleum and
vegetable oils. ·n,e site ceased being
used as an active port terminal in the
early 1990s. A 94,000 square foot
warehouse that is partially constructed
over the water and its pier are the
largest structural remains. In addi
tion, several railroad track s remain in
the ground. Site: elevation decreases
gradually by eight feet from north to
south.
All above ground tanks associated
with the terminal opc:r. 1tion~ on
ducrc:d on the: property have been
removed, and all underground storage
ranks known to exist on the property
have been removed. Extensive soil and
groundwater remediation has been
completed on rhe project sire. 'l11e
City has undertaken an in-situ ther
mal treatment (hearing the soil) for
volatile organic compounds associated
with contamination due to solvents,
soil excavation and disposal of certain
petroleum impacted soils, a vapor
control system, and a soil manage
ment plan have all been completed.
'l11ere is a capped contamination zone
that will have slurry walls under
ground to contain residual substances.
No building will be allowed on the

CHARACTER
DC1:
World Class Waterfront Design
'l11e Poim Ri hmond Shores devel
opment should follow the design
precedents of high-quality waterfront
devclopmems both locally and glob
ally. Some possible successful water·
front design precedents include but
arc not limited to: Tiburon, Oakland
waterfront, San Francisco waterfront,
Marina Green, Marina District , the
Italian coast, and Vancouver, British
Columbia.
DC2:
Contextual Design
1l1is project should conne ct people to
nature. As such, development char
acter should respond to local cultural
history and natural environment
celebrated by the community. The ori
entation of the existing neighborhood
is toward the water and residents
would like development character to
reflect the qualities of a "maritime
village". Nearby residents in Point
Richmond north of the Dornan
Drive tunnel also urge the develop
ment character to respect the historic
nature of the site and to draw upon
the historically-sensitive developments
in Point Richmond. At present, there
is community concern about the
incompatibility of the "resort-feel" in
the proposed design.
DC3:

tention should be focused on creating
soft building edges through a terraced
building design that appeals to local
neighbors and visitors.
BD2:
Size and Scale
'fl1e proposed development should be
of a size and scale that is both eco
nomi cally feasible yet contextual for
the neighborhood. Building heights
and development density should be
of an appropriate scale for the lo-
cal community. Building heights are
particularly important and should be
minimzed along the prominent public
edges of the development, i.e., Ferry
Point Way.

Terraced Building Massing
One common theme through all the
designs is a term ing of the building
mass sloping down to the water and
up tow a rd .~ the hillside. 1l1e !.loping
downw ards of building hc:iglm to the
waterfront reates a softer, more pedes

By locating parking access to the
proposed housing away from the
waterfront park and project site's
western edge along Miller-Knox Park,
the potential for stronger connections
to both the existing and proposed
parks increases. Increased traffic-calm

street design techniques along Ferry

ADDITIONAL DESIGN
ELEMENTS
34 1. Utilize Terminal One Building
Several community member ex
pressed support for preserving por
tions of the existing 'terminal One
structure and w reuse materials in the
proposed waterfront park.
2. San Francisco Bay Trail
TRAC would like to see that the San
Frnncisco Bay Trail is continued in
two segments around the project site
-- a commuter trail along Brickyard
Cove Road as well as a recreational
bike path along the water on Ferry
Point Way. The commuter trail along
Brickyard Cove Road should be on
the northern side of the road so as
to continue the bike path and land
scaping currently being developed
along the adjacent areas to the east
(the open space in front of Brickyard
Landing.) Care should be taken to
make safe crossings along both inter
sections. (See diagram to the right.)
The paths should following Bay Trail
Design Guidelines which suggest
1 0-12' of paved bike path and two 2'
shoulders. (Refer to lower diagram on
right.)
3. Richmond Yacht Club
As a close neighbor to the develop
ment project, the Richmond Yacht
C lub would like the following issues
to be: considc:rc:cl in the: final ondi
tions of approval for the proje t:
• 'I here should be a roadway design
that is compatible with the entran ce
to the Yacht Club. Truck and trailer
rigs need suflicient access imo the: fit
ciliry. 'Ote new road alignment should
be included in the scope of work of
the developers and at no cost to the
Yacht Club, including landscaping
and irrigation.
• Locate the garbage transfer area of
new development such that it is not
upwind of the Club's bar and restau
rant.
• Mitigate dirt, silt and dust during
construction. The developer should
hire a full time clean-up crew that
can keep the harbor, its boats, and
their rigs clean for the duration of the
demolition.
• Keep all water run-ofT away from
the club property at all times.

SITE OBSERVATIONS BY NORM HOTSON
Norm Hotson, prin cipal of the Van
couver-based architectur;.l firm I Iorson
Bakker RoniF.tce I laden (I IRI\11), pre
sented observation s of the site and his
recommendation s fi>r appro~tching site
design. Mr. Hotson empha si1.ed the fol
lowing three points in his presentation.
1. Respect Historical Patterns
Mr. Hotson emphasized the importance
of building on and working with the
past. ·n1e location and material rem
nants of the docks, rail lines and existing
road all provide good precedents for fu
ture designs. Mr. Hotson complimented
the "rail to trail" design feature in the
proposed Toll Brothers plan as it reflects
this historical approach. Mr. Hotson
suggested that the new development
could also retain a corner or portion of
the existing warehouse structure on the
pier as an interesting material compo
nent in the new proposed waterfront
park.
Point Richmond Shores Design Principles Report
2. Cultivate A Feeling of Place
Next, Mr. llot son expressed the need
for a design to respond to the feeling
of place. In the location of our project,
the site area's surrounding topogr aphy
and expansion of hillside should inform
the design of future development.
l11e adjacent housing development,
Brickyard L1nding, demon strates this
contextual approa ch. Mr. Hotson added
that the waterfront feature of the Point
Richmond Shores development should
respond to the hill to the north by scal
ing down building massing as it nears
the water's edge.
3. Create A Strong Waterfront
Connection
Mr. Hotson felt that the new develop
ment should take maximum advantage
of its waterfront location. l11erefore,
Mr. Hotson's preference was not to put
a major road so close to the water's edge.
He suggested instead a possible two
road configuration with Brickyard Cove
Road as a more fast-moving, local com
muter road and Ferry Point Way as a
multi-user, public access parkway with a
strong recreational focus. A meandering
road alignment and special paving mate
rials would further encourage pedestrian
activity and slower driving along Ferry
Point Way.

AGENDA
REPORT
November 22, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Fehr & Peers (F&P) is providing the City of Richmond with transportation and traffic engineering support to assist with a variety of tasks, one of which includes responding to resident requests for traffic control and safety interventions throughout the city. F&P drafted a memorandum to describe how such projects are identified, tracked, evaluated, and prioritized for funding and implementation.
Projects are first identified by City of Richmond Engineering Division staff who receive project requests directly from members of the public and other City representatives (e.g., Councilmembers). Requests are acknowledged by City staff and then, if appropriate, forwarded to Fehr & Peers for intake, evaluation, and potential implementation through various funding sources.
Project intake involves logging key project attributes in a tracker accessible to the City and Fehr & Peers. Attributes include the following:
Project Identifiers – Project Status, Category, Location, City Council District, Request Received Date, Issue & Preliminary Recommendation, Type, Crosswalk Evaluation Results
Equity – MTC’s Equity Priority Communities debuted as part of Plan Bay Area 2050. Formerly called “Communities of Concern,” Equity Priority Communities are census tracts that have a significant concentration of underserved populations, such as households with low incomes and people of color. More information can be found on MTC’s website:
https://mtc.ca.gov/planning/transportation/access-equity-mobility/equity-priority- communities.
Sorting Criteria – Identification of the project location and/or transportation concern relative to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Equity Priority Communities, Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) High Injury Networks (HINs), LRSP Collision Profiles, City of Richmond Pedestrian Master Plan Key Corridors, City of Richmond Bicycle Master Plan Key Corridors, other relevant citywide or subarea studies and plans
Cost Estimate – Identified assumptions for low- and high-cost estimates, Cost Estimate (provided as conceptual low- and high-cost estimates). Cost estimates may be refined as projects are further developed.
In consultation with City staff, Fehr & Peers reviews project requests and identifies a recommended course of action. When the review and evaluation process is complete, a project approach is recommended to the City and honed through further discussion with planning and engineering staff. Depending on the extent to which concept or engineering plans are required, Fehr & Peers will draft these plans, or else coordinate their development by City staff. Such plans are then revised based on iterative review by appropriate City departments, stakeholders, and the public.
November 22, 2022
Since the City of Richmond has limited funding with which to implement all requested projects, a prioritization scheme is used to highlight those that should be considered first for funding. Projects are sorted according to their alignment with areas of need identified in adopted plans and policies using the attributes listed below, prioritized in the order presented. Each attribute is given a binary Yes/No score.
1. Project is categorized as Sideshow Deterrence, Operations Task, or Medium- Sized Project; Large Projects (grant-funded) would be funded and implemented by means other than the $750,000 City Council allocation
2. Project is located in an Equity Priority Community
3. Project is located on an LRSP High Injury Network
4. Project is located on a Bicycle Master Plan or Pedestrian Plan Key Corridor
Once sorted, the top-ranking projects able to be constructed for approximately $750,000, and the allocation of additional ARPA funding as deemed appropriate by the City Council, will be selected for implementation, with discretion given to the City for choosing between similarly ranked projects and striving for parity amongst Districts and subareas of the City. Funding for Large Projects will likely come from local, state, and/or Federal grant programs with required matching funds coming from sources other than the $750,000 City Council allocation.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
City staff is seeking City Council direction on a former cannabis dispensary license holder’s request to amend
the Cannabis Ordinance to allow for issuance of an
additional cannabis retailers license within the City of Richmond.

PROVIDE direction to City staff on whether amendments

DISCUSSION:
Background
Richmond’s medical marijuana Ordinance No. 28-10 NS (“Ordinance”), adopted on September 21, 2010, permitted and regulated medical marijuana collectives. The Ordinance was amended on November 16, 2010, to permit marijuana collectives to AGENDA
REPORT
November 22, 2022
operate in Regional Commercial (C-3) Zoning Districts at certain minimum distances from schools and other specified facilities. In order to operate a marijuana dispensary in compliance with the Ordinance, collectives were required to obtain approval for a location from the City Council. Richmond Patient’s Group (“RPG”), Holistic Healing Collective, Inc. (“HHC”) and 7 Stars Holistic Foundation, Inc. (“7 Stars”) were the only three permitted dispensaries operating in the City of Richmond since the Ordinance was passed.
In December 2011, Richmond Compassionate Care Collective (“RCCC”) was approved to establish a medical marijuana dispensary in Richmond, at 2920 Hilltop Mall Road.
In March 2012, the Ordinance was amended to allow collectives to transfer their permits to another location and increasing the number of allowed dispensaries to six. Around the same time RCCC decided not to open a dispensary at 2920 Hilltop Mall Road because of concerns regarding federal law enforcement and it therefore terminated its lease for that location. RCCC intended on transferring its permit to a new location and resumed a search for a new location to open its dispensary.
In December 2014, the Ordinance was amended to reduce the number of cannabis retailer permits from six to three. It was further amended to state that if a permitted dispensary (here, only RCCC) did not open within six months after issuance of the permit, the permit would expire and become void. This amendment went into effect in early January 2015.
In 2015, RCCC leased property at 3190 Klose Way and applied to transfer its permit, but the request was denied by the City on May 19. RCCC also pursued other properties but was ultimately unable to obtain a location before its permit expired. On November 3, 2015, RCCC sought an extension of time to find a location to commence operations, but the City Council did not approve the application.
RCCC sued RPG, HHC, and 7 Stars (collectively referred to as “defendants”) and others alleging various claims relating to interfering with RCCC’s ability to obtain a permit. RCCC’s lawsuit alleged that the defendants’ actions constitute an unlawful group boycott in violation of California’s Cartwright Act, causing RCCC to suffer millions of dollars in damages. When the case ultimately went to trial in August 2021, the only remaining defendants were three RPG owners and directors. On September 23, 2021, the jury returned a verdict in RCCC’s favor, awarding damages of $5,000,000 which were automatically trebled to $15,000,000.
RCCC is now requesting that, given RCCC’s successful litigation against RPG, the City Council consider amending the City’s Cannabis Ordinance to increase the number of allowed cannabis retailer permits to four.
However, amending the Ordinance does not itself guarantee that RCCC would successfully obtain a retailer permit. The Ordinance provides for a competitive process to be followed in the event the City were to issue an additional permit. The City Council has previously directed City staff to return with a Cannabis Equity Program(“CEP”). The City applied for and received state grant funding to create the CEP for Richmond. The
November 22, 2022
CEP will support local equity applicants impacted by prior criminalization of cannabis with starting and/or growing their cannabis business. The initial approach that the City has taken is to allow only cannabis equity applicants that go through the CEP, retailer cannabis permits. The City will need to decide on a new retail cap, which is currently undermined. Once the cap is decided the City will amend the ordinance and dedicate a specific number for CEP applicants. The City Council could also direct staff to draft an amendment that would make allowances for operators who had their permit expire and who wish to be reinstated.
City Staff is seeking City Council direction on whether City Council would like staff to return with a draft amendment to the Ordinance to increase the number of allowed retailer permits and any other related amendments to address RCCC’s request.

Re: November 15, 2022, Agenda Report-Adding One Additional Dispensary Permit
Dear Mayor Butt and the Richmond City Council:
My name is John Valdez of Richmond Compassionate Care Collective, Inc. (RCCC). I am writing to you regarding the Agenda Report for November 15th written by City Attorney, Mr.
Dave Aleshire and Senior Assistant City Attorney, Mr. James Atencio who are seeking the councils direction to amend the cannabis ordinance to allow an additional cannabis license for RCCC.
RCCC was the first dispensary that was awarded a permit in 2011 with a unanimous vote from the city council. As RCCC tried to find many code compliant properties all while paying the quarterly permit fees ($380,000.00), the defendant dispensaries (Green Remedy, 7 Stars, Holistic Healing and the owners) along with others who aided them, Lisa Hirschhorn, Antwon Cloird conspired to keep RCCC out of the Richmond dispensary cannabis market. Defendant William Koziol and Darren Parle (Green Remedy Dispensary) attempted bribery of Richmond officials, purchased real property in order to block RCCC, intimidated landlords and many other illegal actions in order to block RCCC from ever opening there dispensary for the purpose of excluding competition.
Police Chief Chris Magnus of the Cannabis Regulatory Unit wrote an official letter to Bill Koziol and Darren Parle of Green Remedy advising them that they were illegally operating for 13 months with no permit at the Hilltop location and specifically referencing that “once you vacate the Hilltop property for another permitted dispensary, including Richmond Compassionate Care Collective” the only other licensed dispensary without a location.
Two officers from the Cannabis Regulatory Unit, Sargent Michael Rood and Detective Eric Oliver testified at the antitrust trial on RCCC’s behalf that indeed the defendants did block RCCC from opening a dispensary in Richmond and that everyone knew this, they also attempted to bribe officer Oliver and spread false allegations against me, John Valdez, the CEO of RCCC which I was completely vindicated by a jury and court of these allegations. It was also mentioned that several Richmond City Council members were involved and RCCC’s permit was revoked with the ordinance being changed to reduce the dispensary permits from 4 to 3, only the 3 defendants permits, thus getting rid of RCCC for good.
RCCC won the initial “competitive application process” when it was awarded the first dispensary permit. The 2 current operating dispensaries (7 Stars and Holistic Healing) were both originally denied dispensary permits when they applied the first time through the “competitive application process” by the City of Richmond because they were not qualified to open a cannabis business but somehow were then awarded permits by Richmond?
Since the City of Richmond and its Cannabis Regulatory Unit vindicated RCCC in a court of law, I am requesting that the City of Richmond reinstates my dispensary permit.
I am truly trying my hardest to discreetly and diplomatically resolve this situation on my own without legal implications as I would like to have a harmonious relationship with the City of Richmond and its citizens. It would only be a positive for Richmond as you would be taking in millions of dollars in tax revenue for the city. I am asking you to right the injustice by allowing me to open our dispensary business by giving us the opportunity to become valued members of the business community.
Please contact me at 415-990-2111 or by email, [email protected] if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
John Valdez
CEO, Executive Director, General Manager and Permit Qualifier, Richmond Compassionate Care Collective, Inc.
