NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that the City Council of the City of Riverside will hold a Public Hearing regarding the following item:
CASE NUMBER: PR-2025-001795 (Zoning Code Text Amendment) APPLICANT: City of Riverside
LOCATION: Citywide
PROPOSAL: To consider an amendment to Article V
(Base Zones and Related Use and Development
Provisions) of Title 19 (Zoning) and Chapter 5.77
(Cannabis Business Activities) of Title 5 of the Riverside Municipal Code. The proposed amendments are intended
to: (1) revise the permitted land use table in Title 19 for consistency; (2) add parks as a sensitive use with a
minimum separation distance from commercial cannabis
businesses of 1,000 ft; (3) establish a minimum distance between commercial cannabis businesses of 1,000 ft; and (4) prohibit commercial cannabis businesses from locating within Downtown or Midtown.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning
Commission recommended that the City Council determine
that this project is exempt from further California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Review pursuant to
Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense) of the CEQA
Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that approval of the project will not have an effect on the environment.
Mail written statements to City Clerk, City Hall, 3900 Main Street, Riverside, CA 92522.
If you challenge the above proposed action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Clerk of the City of Riverside at, or prior to, the public hearing.
