ZONING MAP AMENDMENT TO REZONE 2.69± ACRES FROM COMMERCIAL, NEIGHBORHOOD (CN) TO COMMERCIAL, GENERAL (CG) AT 9450 WEST LANE AND 1530 EAST MORADA LANE (APPLICATION NO. P25-0025)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone 2.69± acres (APNs 090-550-64 and -65) from Commercial, Neighborhood (CN) to Commercial, General (CG).
Summary
The applicant, Grove Development Company, is proposing to develop 2.69± acres of vacant commercial land with two (2) restaurant buildings with drive-through facilities and outdoor dining, one speculative commercial building, and associated improvements, herein referred to as the “Project”.
The Project site is located at 9540 West Lane and 1530 East Morada Lane and is adjacent to an existing fueling station with convenience store and carwash located at 9484 West Lane, along the southeast corner of West Lane and Morada Lane.
To develop the Project, the applicant is requesting a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the project parcels, APNs 090-550-64 and -65 (2.69± acres) from Commercial, Neighborhood (CN) to Commercial, General (CG) as drive-through facilities are not permitted uses in the CN zoning district but are allowed in CG with a Land Development Permit. A General Plan amendment is not required as the proposed zoning is consistent with the current General Plan land use designation of Commercial.
The Project required approval of a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) to create three (3) parcels from the existing two (2) parcels, a Land Development Permit for drive-through facilities and outdoor dining and seating, and Design Review for the overall proposed development. Therefore, on December 11, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved the Tentative Parcel Map, Land Development Permit, and Design review components of the project, and recommended City Council approval of the Zoning Map Amendment by a unanimous vote (6-0 with Commissioner Graves absent). The Planning Commission’s approvals are contingent on the City Council’s approval of the Zoning Map Amendment.
With approval and as conditioned, the Project is consistent with the 2040 General Plan Land Use Map designation of Commercial. The Project would further General Plan policies aimed at attracting employment and tax-generating businesses in the City (Policy LU-4.2), prioritizing development and redevelopment of vacant, underutilized, blighted infill areas (Policy LU-6.2), and ensure that land use decisions balance travel origins and destinations in a close proximity as possible, and reduce vehicle miles traveled (Policy LU-6.4). It is also consistent with all applicable Development Code (Title 16) City of Stockton Page 1 of 4 Printed on 2/12/2026
powered by Legistar™259
File #: 25-1415, Version: 1
standards related to the proposed uses and site development.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Zoning Map Amendment for the project site.
DISCUSSION
Background
As shown in Attachment A - Vicinity Map, the Project site is located at the southeast corner of West Lane and East Morada Lane, partially developed with an existing fueling station with a convenience store and car wash facilities. The existing fueling station and associated uses was constructed in the early 1990’s and is not being altered with this Project.
The Project area is surrounded by:
· Vacant land to the west, (across West Lane) with approved entitlements for a new low density residential subdivision “Agave Subdivision” and McNair High School; · Vacant land in unincorporated San Joaquin County to the north, (across Morada Lane) with a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential; and · Low-density residential neighborhoods to the east and south.
The project site is designated as Commercial by the 2040 General Plan Land Use Map (Attachment B - General Plan Land Use Map) and is currently zoned Commercial, Neighborhood (CN) (Attachment C - Zoning Map).
Project Description
Zoning Map Amendment (Rezone)
As shown in Exhibit 1 of the Zoning Map Amendment Ordinance, the Project proposes to change the zoning designation of the Project site from CN to CG in order to facilitate the drive-through restaurants, since those are not permitted in the current CN zoning district pursuant to Table 2-2 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements) in SMC 16.20.020. Drive-through facilities are permitted in the CG zoning district with a Land Development Permit. The CG zoning district is intended to provide areas for a wide variety of general commercial uses, including retail, personal and business services; commercial recreational uses; and a mix of office, commercial, and/or residential uses. In contrast, the CN zoning district is intended for small-scale, limited retail and service areas that are designed to service adjacent residential communities.
The applicant asked the property owners of the existing fueling station if they wanted to be included in the rezone so that all parcels would have the same zoning designations; however, although supportive of the rezone, the gas station representatives opted out of the rezone due to potential significant processing delays with the corporate ownership of the property. Therefore, the gas station will remain zoned CN (Commercial, Neighborhood).
The proposed Zoning Map Amendment is consistent with the Commercial land use designation in the General Plan Land Use Map as both CN and CG are compatible zoning districts per SMC 16.16.020, City of Stockton Page 2 of 4 Printed on 2/12/2026
powered by Legistar™260
File #: 25-1415, Version: 1
Table 2-1: Zoning Districts and Equivalent General Plan Designations. As reflected in the Proposed Ordinance, all necessary findings can be made to support the proposed Zoning Map Amendment action.
Tentative Parcel Map
As previously mentioned, the Planning Commission approved a Tentative Parcel Map for the proposed project, contingent on City Council approving the Zoning Map Amendment. The Project site consists of two parcels: APN 090-550-64 (0.77± acres) and APN 090-550-65 (1.92± acres), as shown in Attachment A. The adjacent commercial site, APN 090-550-63 (1.09± acres), is currently developed with a fueling station and carwash and is not part of this project.
As shown in Attachment D - Tentative Parcel Map of the proposed Development Project Resolution, the proposed Tentative Parcel Map divides up the 2.69± acre Project site into three (3) parcels.
In accordance with SMC Section 16.24.070, Table 2-4: Development Standards - Commercial Districts, there are no minimum parcel sizes in the CG zoning district, and the proposed parcel sizes allow for an orderly development of the site; therefore, as reflected in the Proposed Ordinance, all necessary findings can be made to support the recommended Zoning Map Amendment action.
Development Permits
The Planning Commission approved a Land Development Permit and Design review for the proposed project, contingent on Council’s approval of the zoning map amendment. As shown in Attachment E - Development Plan of the proposed Development Project, the Project includes the development of two (2) drive-through restaurants on Parcel A (“Starbucks”) and Parcel B (“McDonald’s”) and one speculative commercial building on Parcel C. The project includes shared improvements such as parking lots, which are designed to allow for free movement between lots.
Land Development Permit
Pursuant to Table 2-2 (Allowable Land Uses) in SMC 16.20.020 and 16.80.250 (Outdoor dining and seating areas), respectively, drive through facilities in the CG zoning district and outdoor dining and seating areas, require a Land Development Permit.
Starbucks (Parcel A) and McDonald’s (Parcel B) will both be built with drive-through facilities. SMC Section 16.80.150 prescribes standards for drive-through facilities in order to address potential traffic, congestion, excessive pavement, litter, noise, and unsightliness issues. The proposed Project is in conformance with these standards as the proposed drive-through facilities have a minimum 12-footwide lane width, are separated by curbing and landscaping, are adequately screened from public right of way with landscaping and shrubbery, and the applicant team shall install an 8-ft tall masonry wall adjacent to residential uses.
Design Review
SMC Section 16.120.020(A)(2) requires Design Review approval for all new commercial buildings.
The merits of Design Review requests are weighed against their ability to conform to the Citywide Design Guidelines. On February 26, 2025, the Project’s design package was reviewed for City of Stockton Page 3 of 4 Printed on 2/12/2026
powered by Legistar™261
File #: 25-1415, Version: 1
consistency and conformity with the Design Guidelines by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC recommended minor design considerations and ultimately recommended approval.
Environmental Clearance
The Project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Infill Development Projects, because the project is consistent with its current General Plan land use designation of Commercial and with approval of the Zoning Map Amendment (Rezone), will be consistent with applicable zoning designation and regulations. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a Project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
PLANNING COMMISSION
On December 11, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Map Amendment, as well as the Tentative Parcel Map, Land Development Permit, and Design review requests for the proposed commercial development. After hearing staff’s presentation, the project applicant, and no testimony from the general public, the Planning Commission unanimously voted 6-0, with Commission Graves absent, in favor of the project approving the development permits, subject to Council approval of the Zoning Map amendment (Attachment F - Planning Commission Resolutions).
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Notice for the City Council public hearing was published in the Stockton Record and mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site on January 28, 2026. At the time of the writing of this report, there were no public comments.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Approval of the Project would allow the proposed commercial development to occur; therefore, providing the City’s General Fund with additional revenue collected through Sales Tax earned by the restaurants and any future tenants, and additional property taxes by all parcels.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE STOCKTON ZONING MAP FOR REZONING 2.69±- ACRES, INCLUSIVE OF ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBERS (APNs) 090-550-64 and -65, BY ASSIGNING COMMERCIAL, GENERAL (CG) ZONING DESIGNATION IN
PLACE OF THE CURRENT COMMERCIAL, NEIGHBORHOOD (CN) ZONING DESIGNATION (P25-0025)
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND INTENT
The City Council of the City of Stockton finds, pursuant to SMC Section 16.116.050(B)(1) and (3), that:
a. Finding #1: The proposed amendment ensures and maintains internal consistency with general land uses, objectives, policies, programs, and actions of all elements of the General Plan on balance and would not create any inconsistencies with this Development Code.
Evidence: The proposed Rezone is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Commercial as the CG zoning district is allowed within the Commercial Designation. The proposed rezone will not result in any inconsistencies, endanger the public health and safety, or result in an unforeseen environmental impact beyond what was previously envisioned for the area.
The Project would further General Plan policies aimed at attracting and retaining companies that offer high-quality jobs with wages that are competitive with the region and State (Goal LU-4), attracting employment and taxgenerating businesses in the City (Policy LU-4.2), and prioritizing development and redevelopment of vacant, underutilized, and blighted infill areas (Policy LU6.2). b. Finding #2: The proposed amendment will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the City.
Evidence: The proposed amendment, along with the proposed development, would not result in hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety or general welfare for people working or residing in the City. The amendment would allow the site to be considered for a wider variety of commercial uses that are subject to compliance with City development standards and for provision of all necessary infrastructure. As for the accompanying project, all necessary City services will be provided as part of the project, including for

Police and Fire protection services. The proposed uses are compatible uses to the surrounding community.
c. Finding #3: The proposed amendment complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines.
Evidence: The proposed Zoning Map Amendment and accompanying development project, is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Infill Development Projects, because it is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies, and with approval of Zoning map amendment, the Project will be consistent with the CG zoning designation and development regulations. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a Project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
d. Finding #4: The site would be physically suitable (including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designation(s) and anticipated land use development(s).
Evidence: Based on the information provided by the applicant and each Department’s analysis, the subject site is physically suitable for the requested zoning designation and anticipated land use development. All necessary onand off-site roadways, water, wastewater, and storm drainage infrastructure and utilities will be installed by the developer. Development will meet all applicable City standards. There would be no conflict with adjacent land uses due to proper site planning and design.
SECTION II. REZONE CLASSIFICATION
Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the accompanying staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents, and all comments received, the City Council hereby approves a Zoning Map Amendment for the boundary modification to the Zoning Map for APNs 090-550-64 and -64 (2.69± acres), changing the existing designation of Commercial, Neighborhood (CN) zoning to Commercial, General (CG) zoning as shown in Exhibit 1, attached and incorporated by this reference.

AMENDMENT TO THE ARCH-AIRPORT SPERRY ROAD PRECISE ROAD PLAN TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR AN APPROVED FUELING STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE (P25-0045)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and approve the Precise Road Plan Amendment to the Arch-Airport Sperry Road Precise Road Plan, in accordance with Findings for Decision detailed herein.
Summary
Todd Meyers of Maverik Inc filed a project application to amend the Arch-Airport/Sperry Road Precise Road Plan in accordance with the Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 16.148 (the “Project”).
The purpose of the Project is to create a secondary driveway access for a Maverik fueling station and convenience store located at 4874 Qantas Lane, in the jurisdiction of the County of San Joaquin (Attachment A). The Maverik station and store were approved by San Joaquin County in June 2025, but are not yet constructed. The City of Stockton is processing this application request because the rights of way for Arch-Airport Road is regulated by the City. The proposed Precise Road Plan Amendment (Exhibit 1 to the proposed Resolution) creates a secondary driveway access - or encroachment - onto Arch-Airport Road, east of the intersection with Qantas Lane that will provide restricted access to right-out only vehicular movement from the approved Maverik site onto ArchAirport Road to complement the full access driveway on Qantas Lane.
The City Council is the review authority for Amendments to Precise Road Plans, based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15305(b), Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitations, because it is for an encroachment to a roadway that does not change the allowed uses or density of any parcel of land, nor does it affect the intended use of the roadway, as shown in the provided access analysis.
On January 8, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered public comment on the proposed amendment. After discussing the item, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 (Commissioner Hernandez absent and Commissioner Amen dissenting) to recommend approval of the proposed amendment with an added condition requiring the driveway to be constructed to allow for STAA trucks. Staff recommends City Council accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and approve the amendment to the Arch-Airport/Sperry Road Precise Road Plan, based on the required Findings of Fact.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Arch-Airport/Sperry Road Precise Road Plan was jointly adopted and approved by the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County in 2002 (Attachment B). The purpose of the Plan is to identify future right-of-way requirements, roadway alignment, lane configurations, driveway access restrictions, and intersection controls for the roadway to ensure the regional needs of the roadway are properly met and addressed. Precise Road Plans are created to accommodate anticipated future development. However, because not all development can be adequately envisioned, the Stockton Municipal Code provides a way for Precise Road Plans to be amended through SMC Section
16.148.090.C. Arch-Airport Road in the subject location is currently a six lane arterial roadway with a landscaped median. The current Precise Road Plan does not provide any driveway access to ArchAirport Road at the subject location and includes an additional eastbound through-lane.
The Maverik fueling station and convenience store was approved by San Joaquin County and is located on a parcel in the County’s jurisdiction. The approved fueling station currently has primary access from Qantas Lane, however for proper vehicular circulation, a secondary roadway access is needed on Arch-Airport Road. The proposed amendment is to add a new secondary driveway access (encroachment) onto Arch-Airport Road to the approved station and store, and to maintain the current three through-lanes plus auxiliary lane configuration.
The proposed amendment would provide a right-out only vehicular access to Arch-Airport Road, specifically, from the approved Maverik site approximately 425 feet east of the Qantas Lane intersection to complement the full access driveway approved by the County on Qantas Lane.
An access analysis was conducted to determine the potential impact of the proposed driveway using the projected amount of traffic from the buildout of the Airpark 599 project (Attachment C). The analysis concluded that the proposed driveway would have no significant negative impact on ArchAirport Road traffic and that it would alleviate some demand on the Qantas Lane intersection. The analysis also concurred with the certified plans and traffic study for the Highway 99/Arch Road interchange project that the current 3 travel lanes plus auxiliary lane are sufficient for the projected growth in the area. The analysis anticipated 1,902 average daily trips for Maverik, which is a portion of the 15,650 average daily trips anticipated for Qantas Lane by the adopted Airpark 599 EIR Addendum at this intersection. The analysis has been reviewed by the City and found to be adequate to allow for the requested amendment as proposed.
The project area is not zoned, because Arch-Airport Road is designated as public right-of-way (ROW). The subject area is bound to the:
· North by a United States Postal Service processing and distribution center zoned by the City of Stockton as IG (Industrial, General);
· South by a vacant parcel in jurisdiction of the County of San Joaquin (Airpark 599), approved for the development of a Maverik Fueling station and convenience store with an Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan (General Plan) Land Use Designation of Commercial, and zoned by San Joaquin County as Highway Commercial, since not currently in the Stockton City limits.

The General Plan designates Arch-Airport Road as an Arterial roadway, with land on either side of the right-of-way for Commercial and Industrial land uses. The Precise Road Plan amendment application is subject to public hearings by both the Planning Commission (for recommendation to the City Council) and the City Council (for a final decision).
Development Review Committee
The Development Review Committee (comprised of senior multi-departmental Stockton staff) considered the Project on December 15, 2025, and recommended approval of the amendment to the Arch-Airport/Sperry Precise Road Plan Amendment, subject to required Findings of Fact, as indicated in the proposed Resolution.
Findings Of Fact
Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 16.148.070.A requires two findings of fact to support an amendment to a Precise Road Plan. The Precise Road Plan must 1) comply with general land uses, objectives, policies, and programs of the General Plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City; and 2) be in compliance with applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project would comply with the General Plan because the proposed amendment serves the needs of commercial development that is consistent with its General Plan Land Use Designation of Commercial. In addition, the proposed amendment complies with General Plan Land Use Policy LU-6.1, by ensuring that adequate infrastructure is available to development projects; and Land Use Policy LU-6.2 by prioritizing a development project in an infill area, substantially surround by existing development. Further, the Project complies with CEQA as it is Categorically Exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15305(b), Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitations, because the proposed amendment is for an encroachment to a roadway that does not change the allowed uses or density of any parcel of land, nor does it affect the intended use of the roadway, as shown in the provided access analysis. This exemption is for the proposed amendment only, as the Maverik project is already approved by the County and was previously evaluated in the adopted Airpark 599 EIR addendum.
Planning Commission
On January 8, 2026, a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission. During the hearing, concern was raised by a member of the public and some Commissioners about potential safety issues the driveway may present and the amount of traffic on Arch-Airport Road. The Project traffic engineer addressed the design and traffic analysis conducted to ensure safety is being considered.
Public Works staff concurred with the traffic analysis that a fourth through-lane is not needed due to the design of the Arch/SR 99 interchange and use of the existing auxiliary lane is adequate. An additional condition of approval was recommended by the Commission to require the driveway to be constructed with a proper turning radius to allow for STAA trucks to exit the site safely. During the hearing, staff confirmed that the driveway was envisioned and analyzed in the County-approved Airpark 599 Master Plan.
Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 5-1, with Commissioner Hernandez absent and Commissioner Amen dissenting, to forward a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the proposed amendment to the Arch-Airport/Sperry Road Precise Road Plan with the City of Stockton Page 3 of 4 Printed on 2/12/2026

File #: 26-0001, Version: 1
before mentioned STAA compliant driveway condition added (Attachment D).
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
As previously stated, the proposed amendment is Categorically Exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15305(b), Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitations. The proposed amendment is for an encroachment to a roadway that does not change the allowed uses or density of any parcel of land, nor does it affect the intended use of the roadway, as shown in the provided access analysis (Attachment C).
Public Comments
Notice for the City Council public hearing for this request was published in The Record on February 6, 2026, as a display ad in accordance with SMC Section 16.88.030(B)(2)(b)(ii)(C)(2). As of the writing of this staff report, no written comments have been submitted.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund or to any other unrestricted fund. Costs associated with the proposed design and construction of improvements will be borne by the developer.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose of the Report
The subject site has already been entitled for a gas service station as part of Phase 1 Airpark 599 project. The purpose of this Access Analysis report is to analyze the operation of the proposed project access points and bounding intersections under existing and opening year conditions. The project is proposing two access points that provide a physical transition between the subject site and fronting roadways. Access to the Project site will be provided via one (1) driveway with restricted access to right-out only vehicular movement on Arch Airport Road and one (1) proposed driveway with full access on Qantas Lane. The proposed driveways are designed to minimize impacts on traffic flow along the fronting roadways by providing a left turn lane at the Qantas lane driveway that allows the turning vehicle to exit the through lane, to decelerate, and to provide enough storage space for vehicles waiting to complete the turn safely into the property while not impeding through vehicular movements. The existing auxiliary lane along the property frontage on Arch Airport Road will facilitate vehicular movements exiting the site by providing a speed change area that permit vehicles to accelerate before merging with the through traffic flow.
Project Overview
The Project is proposing the construction of a service station with 5,982 square-foot convenience store, 22 fueling positions. The Project is located at the southeast corner of Arch Airport Road and Qantas Lane in the City of Stockton.
The project trip generation was calculated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (TGM), 11
th Edition. It is estimated that the project will generate 1,902 daily trips, 168 AM peak hour trips and 148 PM peak hour trips. Project trip distribution and assignment were developed based on the land use characteristics of the proposed project and surrounding area and anticipated travel patterns to and from the project site. Project scenarios and study area intersections were then established to determine the potential operational deficiencies at the project access points and bounding intersections on the transportation network due to the construction of the Project.

Analysis Results and Recommendations
Existing Conditions (Year 2025)
All intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable LOS under Existing Conditions.
Opening Year 2027 Conditions
All intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable LOS under Opening Year 2027 Project Conditions.
Conclusion
This Access Analysis evaluated the potential deficiencies related to the Project proposed access points and bounding intersections. An access and intersection operation analyses were conducted under Existing Year 2025 and Opening Year 2027 Project conditions. Based on the analysis, it was determined that all study access points and intersections are expected to operate at satisfactory LOS D or better during the weekday AM and PM peak hours under all analyzed conditions. Although the approved City-County precise road plan shows Arch Airport Road between Quantas Lane and SR99 as having four-lanes plus an auxiliary lane for the eastbound direction, the approved and certified project plans and traffic study for the State Route 99/Arch Road Interchange Reconstruction Project validated that three-lanes plus an auxiliary lane eastbound direction is adequate for future traffic growth. The proposed Maverick Gas Station study agrees with the SR99/Arch Road Interchange study.

Maverick Gas Station Project Introduction
1 1.0 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The subject site has already been entitled for a gas service station as part of Phase 1 Airpark 599 project. The purpose of this Access Analysis report is to analyze the operation of the proposed project access points and bounding intersections under existing and opening year conditions. The project is proposing two access points that provide a physical transition between the subject site and fronting roadways. Access to the Project site will be provided via one (1) driveway with restricted access to right-out only vehicular movement on Arch Airport Road and one (1) proposed driveway with full access on Qantas Lane. The proposed driveways are designed to minimize impacts on traffic flow along the fronting roadways by providing left turn lane at the Qantas lane driveway that allows the turning vehicle to exit the through lane, to decelerate, and to provide enough storage space for vehicles waiting to complete the turn safely into the property while not impeding through vehicular movements. The existing auxiliary lane along the property frontage on Arch Airport Road will facilitate vehicular movements exiting the site by providing a speed change area that permit vehicles to accelerate before merging with the through traffic flow.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project is proposing the construction of a service station with 5,982 square-foot convenience store and 22 fueling positions. The Project is located at the southeast corner of Arch Airport Road and Qantas Lane in the City of Stockton.
Figure 1-1 shows the project site plan.
STUDY AREA
The study area for this project was developed consistent with the Guidelines, including all primary access points and signalized intersections adjacent to the project or integral to project trip distribution.
Figure 1-2 presents the study area that includes the following key intersections:
1. SR-99 and Arch Airport Road
2. Qantas Lane and Arch Airport Road
3. Project Driveway and Arch Airport Road
4. Qantas Lane and Project Driveway
Turning movement counts for one weekday during the morning and evening peak hours were conducted on January 30, 2025. The turning movement counts are included in Appendix A. These counts were utilized in Synchro 11 software to determine LOS at all study intersections. Year 2027 traffic volumes were developed by adding a 2% annual growth for two years to the existing counts which was added to the project volumes.
PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation is a measure or forecast of the number of trips that begin or end at the project site.
The traffic generated is a function of the extent and type of development proposed for the site. These trips will result in some traffic increases on the streets where they occur. Per the TIA Guidelines, trip generation for proposed uses must be calculated based on rates from the Trip Generation Manual (TGM), 11th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Project ITE average trip generation rates are presented in Table 1-1.

PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
Trip distribution and assignment is the process of identifying the probable destinations, directions and traffic routes that project related traffic will affect. Once the proposed development’s trips have been estimated, they are assigned to the study area network. For this development, the project trip distribution and assignment were developed in coordination with City staff based on the land use characteristics of the proposed project, surrounding land uses within the study area, and anticipated travel patterns to and from the project site.
Figure 1-2 shows the trip distribution and Figure 1-3 shows the Project intersection turning movement volumes.
PROJECT ACCESS
Access to the Project site will be provided via one (1) driveway with restricted access to right-out only vehicular movement on Arch Airport Road and one (1) proposed driveway with full access on Qantas Lane.
ARCH AIRPORT ROADWAY CONFIGURATION
According to the State Route 99 (SR-99)/Arch Road Interchange Reconstruction Project Traffic Forecast and Operation Analysis(dated September 9, 1998), the roadway design for Arch Airport Road between SR-99 and Qantas Lane was revised from the original four-lane configuration shown in the precise roadway plan.

Maverick Gas Station Methodologies
7 2.0 METHODOLOGIES
This section documents the methodologies and assumptions used to conduct the circulation impact analysis for the proposed project. This section contains the following background information:
• Study scenarios
• Study time periods
• Analysis methodologies
Refer to Appendix A for approved scoping agreement.
STUDY SCENARIOS
This report presents an analysis of the intersection operating conditions during the peak periods, which were selected in consultation with City staff for the following anticipated timeframe scenarios:
• Existing Conditions (Year 2025)
• Opening Year 2027 (Existing + 2% Annual Ambient Growth) + Project Conditions
STUDY TIME PERIODS
The Guidelines recommend the following peak hours for analysis:
• Weekday AM (peak hour between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM)
• Weekday PM (peak hour between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM)
ANALYSIS METHODOLOGIES
Street system operating conditions are typically described in terms of “level of service.” Level of service is a report-card scale used to indicate the quality of traffic flow on roadway segments and at intersections. Level of service (LOS) ranges from LOS A (free flow, little congestion) to LOS F (forced flow, extreme congestion). Table 2-1 describes generalized definitions of auto LOS A through F.
Table 2-1
Vehicular Level of Service Definitions
LOS Characteristics
A
Primarily free-flow operation. Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to maneuver within the traffic stream.
Controlled delay at the boundary intersections is minimal. The travel speed exceeds 80% of the base free-flow speed, and the volume-to-capacity ratio is no greater than 1.0.
B
Reasonably unimpeded operation. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and control delay at the boundary intersections is not significant. The travel speed is between 67% and 80% of the base free-flow speed, and the volume-to-capacity ratio is no greater than 1.0.
C
Stable operation. The ability to maneuver and change lanes at mid-segment locations may be more restricted than at LOS B.
Longer queues at the boundary intersections may contribute to lower travel speeds. The travel speed is between 50% and 67% of the base free-flow speed, and the volume-to-capacity ratio is no greater than 1.0.
D
Less stable condition in which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in delay and decreases in travel speed.
This operation may be due to adverse signal progression, high volume, or inappropriate signal timing at the boundary intersections. The travel speed is between 40% and 50% of the base free-flow speed, and the volume-to-capacity ratio is no greater than 1.0.
E
Unstable operation and significant delay. Such operations may be due to some combination of adverse signal progression, high volume, and inappropriate signal timing at the boundary intersections. The travel speed is between 30% and 40% of the base free-flow speed, and the volume-to-capacity ratio is no greater than 1.0.
F
Flow at extremely low speed. Congestion is likely occurring at the boundary intersections, as indicated by high delay and extensive queuing. The travel speed is 30% or less of the base free-flow speed, or the volume-to-capacity ratio is greater than
1.0. Source: Highway Capacity Manual 7

8 Intersection Capacity Analysis
The analysis of peak hour intersection performance was conducted using the Synchro 10 software program, which uses methodologies defined in the Highway Capacity Manual 7 th Edition (HCM) to
calculate LOS. Level of service (LOS) for intersections is determined by control delay. Control delay is defined as the total elapsed time from when a vehicle stops at the end of a queue to the time the vehicle departs from the stop line. The total elapsed time includes the time required for the vehicle to travel from the last-in-queue position to the first-in-queue position, including deceleration of vehicles from free-flow speed to the speed of vehicles in the queue.
Signalized Intersections
The HCM analysis methodology for evaluating signalized intersections is based on the “operational analysis” procedure. This technique uses 1,900 passenger cars per hour of green per lane (pcphpl) as the maximum saturation flow of a single lane at an intersection. Average control delay is calculated by taking a volume-weighted average of all the delays for all vehicles entering the intersection. Table 2-2 summarizes the level of service criteria for signalized intersections.
Table 2-2
Signalized Intersection Level of Service HCM Operational Analysis Method Average Control Delay
Per Vehicle (seconds) Level of Service (LOS) Characteristics <10.0
LOS A occurs when the volume-to-capacity ratio islow and either progression is exceptionally favorable or the cycle length is very short. If it is due to favorable progression, most vehicles arrive during the green indication and travel through the intersection withoutstopping.
10.1 – 20.0 LOS B occurs when the volume-to-capacity ratio islow and either progression is highly favorable or the cycle length isshort. More vehiclesstop than with LOS A.
20.1 – 35.0
LOS C occurs when progression is favorable or the cycle length is moderate. Individual cycle failures (i.e., one or more queued vehicles are not able to depart as a result of insufficient capacity during the cycle) may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehiclesstopping is significant, although many vehiclesstill passthrough the intersection withoutstopping.
35.1 – 55.0 LOS D occurs when the volume-to-capacity ratio is high and either progression isineffective or the cycle length is long. Many vehiclesstop and individual cycle failures are noticeable.
55.1 – 80.0 LOS E occurs when the volume-to-capacity ratio is high, progression is unfavorable, and the cycle length islong. Individual cycle failures are frequent.
>80.0 LOS F occurs when the volume-to-capacity ratio is very high, progression is very poor, and the cycle length islong. Most cycles fail to clear the queue.

Side-street Stop-controlled (SSSC) Intersections
The HCM analysis methodology for evaluating side-street stop-controlled (SSSC) intersections is based on gap acceptance and conflicting traffic for vehicles stopped on minor-street approaches. The critical gap (minimum gap that would be acceptable) is defined as the minimum time interval in the majorstreet traffic stream that allows intersection entry for one minor-street vehicle. Average control delay and LOS for the “worst approach” are reported. Level of service is not defined for the entire intersection. Table 2-3 summarizes the level of service criteria for unsignalized intersections.

Maverick Gas Station Existing Conditions (Year 2025)
10 3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS (YEAR 2025)
This section documents the circulation system conditions within the study area of the project under the existing without and with project scenarios. The Existing Conditions (Year 2025) scenario is analyzed using existing volumes counts. This section also documents potential project related operational deficiencies on the existing local circulation networks. No network improvements are assumed under Existing Conditions scenarios.
ROADWAY NETWORK
The locally significant roadway located within the study area of the Project is discussed below.
Arch Airport Road is an east-west arterial that extends from SR-99 Interstate 5. The number of lanes on Arch Airport Road varies, with seven travel lanes including three through lanes in each direction and an eastbound auxiliary lane in the study area immediately west of SR-99 to Qantas Lane which transition to four travel lanes west of Qantas Lane. The posted speed limit on Arch Airport Road is 45 mph
Qantas Lane is a north-south local Street from Arch Airport Road in the area immediately west of SR99. The north section is a three-lane roadway that transitions into two lane roadway to the north where the southern segment is also a three-lane roadway that transitions to two lanes extending beyond the project site to the south.
Figures 3-1 and 3-2 show the City of Stockton Roadway Classification and Bicycle Network Maps.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES
The intersection turning movement counts were conducted during the weekday morning peak period from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and during the weekday evening peak period from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on January 30, 2025. Traffic count data is provided in Appendix A.

Maverick Gas Station Conclusion
17 5.0 CONCLUSION
This Access Analysis evaluated the potential deficiencies related to the Project proposed access points and bounding intersections. An access and intersection operation analyses were conducted under Existing Year 2025 and Opening Year 2027 Project conditions. Based on the analysis, it was determined that all study access points and intersections are expected to operate at satisfactory LOS D or better during the weekday AM and PM peak hours under all analyzed conditions. Although the approved City-County precise road plan shows Arch Airport Road between Quantas Lane and SR99 as having four-lanes plus an auxiliary lane for the eastbound direction, the approved and certified project plans and traffic study for the State Route 99/Arch Road Interchange Reconstruction Project validated that three-lanes plus an auxiliary lane eastbound direction is adequate for future traffic growth. The proposed Maverick Gas Station study agrees with the SR99/Arch Road Interchange study.

STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ARCH-AIRPORT SPERRY
ROAD PRECISE ROAD PLAN TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR AN APPROVED FUELING STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE (P25-0045)
The City of Stockton has heretofore formulated and adopted a General Plan for the physical development of the City, which General Plan contains each of the elements required by law to be a part of it; and
The City of Stockton has adopted the Arch-Airport Sperry Road Precise Road Plan to facilitate implementation of the General Plan; and
An amendment to the Arch-Airport Sperry Road Precise Road Plan has been requested by the applicant, Todd Meyers of Maverik Inc, to create a new secondary driveway, an encroachment, onto Arch-Airport Road approximately 425 feet east of Qantas Lane to serve an approved fueling station and convenience store; and
On February 6, 2026, public notice for the subject application was published in the local newspaper in accordance with Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 16.88.030; and On February 17, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the application, in compliance with SMC Chapter 16.88, at which point all persons wishing to be heard were provided such opportunity; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council approves an Amendment to the Arch-Airport Sperry Road Precise Road Plan to create a new encroachment onto Arch-Airport Road approximately 425 feet east of Qantas Lane, as set forth in Exhibit 1, attached hereto, based on the following Findings of Fact and Conditions of Approval:
Findings of Fact
1. The Precise Road Plan must be consistent with the general land uses, objectives policies, and programs of the General Plan and other adopted goals and policies of the City.
The project complies with General Plan Land Use Policy LU-6.1 and Land Use Policy LU-6.2, as follows:
Land Use Policy LU-6.1, Carefully plan for future development and proactively mitigate potential impacts – Approval of the Amendment to the Precise Road Plan will ensure that adequate infrastructure is available to an approved development project that is in accordance with the allowed land uses in the General Plan. 389
Land Use Policy LU-6.2, Prioritize development and redevelopment of vacant, underutilized, and blighted infill areas – Approval of the proposed Amendment will accommodate development that is on a parcel substantially surrounded by existing development.
2. The Precise Road Plan must be in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed Amendment complies with CEQA as it is Categorically Exempt under CEQA Guidelines section 15305, Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitations, because the proposed amendment is for an encroachment to a roadway that does not change the allowed uses or density of any parcel of land, nor does it affect the intended use of the roadway, as shown in the provided access analysis.
Conditions of Approval
a. Comply with all applicable Federal, State, County, and City codes, regulations and adopted standards and pay all applicable fees.
b. The property owners, developers, and/or successors-in-interest (ODS) shall be responsible for the City’s legal and administrative costs associated with defending any legal challenge of the approval for this project or its related environmental determination. c. ODS shall contact City Public Works Department, Traffic Engineering, when coordinating work with the traffic signal at the Arch-Airport Road and Qantas Lane intersection. d. Any construction related road closures extending beyond one (1) day shall require prior approval from the City or County Public Works Department. e. ODS shall design the driveway on Arch-Airport Road to meet the radius requirements to safely accommodate STAA trucks exiting the site, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AN EXTENSION OF URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2025-03-04- 1504 WHICH ADOPTED FINDINGS AND ESTABLISHED A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW, AND RELOCATION OR PHYSICAL EXPANSION OF EXISTING,
TOBACCO RETAIL BUSINESSES, ALSO KNOWN AS SMOKE SHOPS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt an urgency ordinance, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, to extend Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504, which established a temporary moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses, also known as smoke shops, for a period of one year, based on current findings and continued threat to public health, safety, and welfare;
2. Find that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of licenses for additional tobacco retailers, or for the expansion/relocation of existing retailers, would be inconsistent with and frustrate the City’s ongoing efforts to study and potentially revise its regulatory framework;
3. Direct staff to continue preparing and finalize permanent regulatory amendments regarding the zoning, licensing, and land-use impacts of tobacco retail businesses within the City;
4. Approve and issue the attached City Council Report pursuant to Government Code section 65858(d); and
5. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
Summary
This report recommends the City Council adopt an urgency ordinance to extend the temporary moratorium previously established by Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504, which restricts the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses, also known as smoke shops, within the City of Stockton.
The initial extension to Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 is set to expire on March 2, 2026, and the City finds that a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare persists.
This extension, authorized pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, will allow the City additional time to complete its analysis and finalize comprehensive updates to land use, zoning, and public safety regulations related to tobacco retailers.

The proliferation of tobacco and vape retailers, particularly near sensitive receptors such as schools and youth-serving facilities, raises serious concerns regarding youth access, neighborhood compatibility, and regulatory inconsistencies. Absent this extension, new applications or modifications to existing businesses may undermine the City's ability to effectively regulate this industry.
Concurrently with this request, Staff is presenting proposed amendments to the City’s Tobacco Retailer Ordinance (SMC 5.104) for City Council’s consideration. In the event that City Council does not adopt the proposed amendments, but instead directs staff to continue their evaluation and make additional amendments, Staff will continue evaluating potential land use controls and City mechanisms to address community concerns and promote consistency with the City’s public health goals as directed by City Council. In that event, however, Staff is requesting City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance extending the current moratorium for a second, and final, time to prevent a proliferation of tobacco retail license applications following the expiration of the current moratorium on March 2, 2026 and prior to the adoption of the additional revisions to the Tobacco Retailer Ordinance directed by City Council.
Due to the upcoming expiration of the moratorium, staff has also agendized this item to ensure continuity of the moratorium in the event the proposed amendments to the current Tobacco Retailer Ordinance are not adopted. In the event the proposed ordinance amendments are adopted, staff will withdraw this moratorium extension item from the agenda, as the adoption of both measures would be unnecessary.
DISCUSSION
Background
On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504, establishing a temporary 45-day moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses, commonly known as smoke shops, within the City of Stockton.
The urgency ordinance was adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 in response to the increasing concentration and proliferation of tobacco and vape retailers in specific neighborhoods, particularly in proximity to schools, parks, and youth-serving facilities.
Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 was set to expire on April 18, 2025. On April 15, 2025, the Stockton City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601, extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for 10 months and 15 days pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a).
Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 is set to expire on March 2, 2026.
The initial moratorium and extension were enacted to provide the City sufficient time to assess the potential adverse impacts of these businesses on public health, safety, youth exposure, land use compatibility, and neighborhood character. Since adoption, staff has initiated a review of relevant zoning and licensing regulations and reviewed related data; however, additional time is required to finalize the analysis and prepare potential amendments to the Stockton Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance.
The City continues to receive inquiries and applications related to new and modified tobacco retail operations. Without an additional extension of the moratorium, in the interim, there is a risk that new City of Stockton Page 2 of 4 Printed on 2/12/2026
powered by Legistar™406
File #: 26-0153, Version: 1
establishments may be approved in locations that conflict with City Council’s stated public health and land use objectives, thereby frustrating the purpose of the City's ongoing review process.
Present Situation
The extension to Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 is set to expire on March 2, 2026. Staff recommends the City Council adopt a one-year extension, the maximum allowed under Government Code Section 65858(a), to allow for completion of necessary research, community engagement, interdepartmental coordination, and finalization of permanent regulatory changes. While a full year may not be required to complete this work, there are no further extensions permitted by the Government Code. Therefore, staff is requesting an extension for the maximum amount of time permitted by law. This allows staff to work through any suggested changes with City Council and community stakeholders without concern for the moratorium coming to an end while work is still being conducted.
The continued rise in smoke shop applications, particularly those offering flavored tobacco and vaping products that disproportionately appeal to youth, has prompted heightened concern from community members, neighborhood groups, and public health advocates. Recent data and anecdotal reports from school administrators and neighborhood leaders suggest a correlation between the presence of tobacco retailers and increased youth access to such products.
Many existing retailers are clustered in low-income and underserved communities, raising environmental justice and equity concerns about disproportionate health impacts. While progress has been made during the enforcement of the current Tobacco Retailer Ordinance, including the successful revocation of four (4) existing tobacco retail licenses, the denial of ten (10) additional applications for new tobacco retail licenses, and the criminal prosecution of fifteen (15) individuals found guilty of selling flavored tobacco products, additional regulation is still necessary to adequately address the danger to public health, safety, and welfare presented by the proliferation of tobacco retailers, particularly those who continue to sell flavored tobacco products. Although progress has been made to date, additional adjustments are necessary to fully address these ongoing impacts.
Without this extension, the City could be forced to consider or approve additional tobacco retailer applications under the current Code, thereby undermining the City Council’s intent to manage the expansion of these businesses while developing thoughtful, balanced, and community-informed regulations.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, it is requested that the City Council find:
1. There is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare due to the proliferation of tobacco retail businesses, particularly in areas with high youth populations and vulnerable communities.
2. The continued establishment, relocation, or expansion of these businesses would be inconsistent with and conflict with the City’s efforts to adopt and implement reasonable regulations intended to protect the public from negative health outcomes, land use incompatibility, and neighborhood degradation.
3. The current zoning regulations do not adequately address the density, proximity to sensitive City of Stockton Page 3 of 4 Printed on 2/12/2026
powered by Legistar™407
File #: 26-0153, Version: 1
uses, or operational impacts of tobacco retailers, leaving the City ill-equipped to evaluate new proposals in a manner consistent with its public health goals.
4. City staff is actively studying the impacts of tobacco retail businesses and finalizing proposed amendments to the Stockton Municipal Code to address community concerns, promote equity, and strengthen enforcement. Additional time is necessary to complete this work.
5. The moratorium is temporary in nature and limited in scope, targeting only the establishment, relocation, or physical expansion of tobacco retail businesses. It does not affect existing businesses operating in compliance with current law.
Therefore, the Council finds it necessary and appropriate to extend the moratorium for a period of one year to preserve the status quo while staff completes its regulatory review and Council considers permanent policy changes.
Additionally, California Government Code Section 65858(d) requires the City Council to issue a written report ten (10) days before the earliest of either: the interim ordinance’s expiration; or prior to the adoption of an extension. The report shall describe the measures the City is taking to alleviate the condition(s) that led to the interim ordinance’s adoption. The approval and issuance of the attached City Council Report (Attachment A) will satisfy City Council’s requirements pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d).
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
No new revenue is anticipated due to the absence of new tobacco retail business openings during the moratorium period.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT ISSUED PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858(d)
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Report on Measures Taken Following Adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 Establishing a Temporary 45-Day Moratorium and Ordinance No. 2025- 04-15-1601 Extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 For 10 Months and 15 Days.
BACKGROUND: On March 4, 2025, the Stockton City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504, which established a temporary moratorium on the issuance of any license, permit, or other entitlement for use for the establishment, relocation, or physical expansion of a tobacco retailer business. Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 was set to expire on April 18, 2025. On April 15, 2025, the Stockton City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601, extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for 10 months and 15 days pursuant to Government Code section 65858(a). Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 is set to expire on March 2, 2026.
California Government Code section 65858(d) requires the City Council to issue a written report 10 days prior to the expiration of the interim ordinance or any extension. The report shall describe the measures the City is taking to alleviate the condition(s) that led to the interim ordinance’s adoption.
Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 will expire on March 2, 2026. On February 17, 2026, City staff is presenting proposed amendments to the existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance (SMC 5.104). In the event those proposed amendments are not adopted by the City Council, City staff is also presenting the City Council with a request to adopt a second, and final, extension of the moratorium pursuant to Government Code section 65858. Therefore, this report satisfies the requirements of California Government Code section 65858(d).
DISCUSSION: The purpose of Chapter 5.104 Tobacco Retailers is to encourage responsible tobacco retailing and to discourage violations of tobacco-related laws, especially those that prohibit or discourage the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors or prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis, but not to expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by Federal and State law are criminally proscribed or to alter the penalties provided by such laws.
On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the issuance of new tobacco retail licenses pursuant to Chapter 5.104. On April 15, 2025, that moratorium was extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days and will expire on March 2, 2026.
That moratorium was based on express findings by the City Council that the recent 409
ATTACHMENT A
proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, specifically smoke shops, and the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments were negatively impacting the health, safety, and welfare of City residents, especially youth. Further, tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, targets for theft and vandalism, and affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity. Stockton Police Department has conducted inspections at various tobacco retailers throughout the City and found evidence of and confiscated illegal tobacco products, including flavored tobacco, cannabis-infused items, and illegal gambling.
Since the adoption of the moratorium, City staff have continued to study the issue.
Specifically, the Administrative Service, Community Development, and Stockton Police Departments have led efforts to revise the existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance to address the public health and safety threats created by smoke shops under the existing ordinance.
The following is a summary of the proposed revisions:
1. Added express prohibition on the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis.
2. Added numerous definitions to ensure that compliance and enforcement for Chapter violations are clear.
3. Replaced having one single tobacco retailer license type with 4 separate license types:
a. Tobacco retailer- Exempt,
b. Tobacco retailer- Ancillary,
c. Tobacco retailer- Smoke shop, and
d. Tobacco retailer- Smoking lounge.
The separate license types allow for application requirements, locational criteria, operational mandates, and enforcement efforts to be tailored to the different types of business operations and their unique community impacts.
4. The license type “Tobacco retailer- Exempt” creates an exemption from the license requirement to incentivize fresh and healthy food sales for City residents.
Retail (e.g. grocery) stores have to apply for a license but are exempt from locational and operational requirements if they use less than 5% of their retail sales space for tobacco and more than 10% or more of their retail sales space for the sale and display of fresh food, including agricultural products like fresh fruits and vegetables; nuts; minimally processed prepared foods; fresh meat, fish, or poultry; juice and dairy products; and fresh baked goods, breads, and cereals.

ATTACHMENT A
5. New application requirements:
a. In addition to existing Chapter 5.104 requirements, applicants for all four (4) license types must submit a layout of the premises showing where tobacco retailing will take place and areas where tobacco will be stored. b. Smoke shop applicants will additionally have to submit a security plan for review and approval by the Police Department that includes video surveillance, physical security, and a uniformed security personnel deployment plan.
c. Smoke shop applicants will also be subject to background checks. If, in the Chief of Police’s opinion, an applicant’s background renders them unsuitable to operate a smoke shop, then the application will be denied.
6. Requires Tobacco retail licensees to maintain a valid business license that identifies tobacco retail sales on the business license. If a license is revoked, the business license shall be updated promptly.
7. Strengthened locational criteria:
a. New Smoke shops, General tobacco retailers, and Smoking lounges cannot be within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors or other General tobacco retailers or Smoke shops.
b. Sensitive receptors include residential zones or uses, K-12 schools, childcare facilities, public parks and youth facilities, religious facilities, and drug or alcohol recovery/treatment facilities.
8. Added express ability for law enforcement to conduct scheduled or unannounced inspections of tobacco retail licensees’ premises. a. Refusal to allow an inspection is a violation of the revised ordinance. b. A fee shall be charged for such inspections to ensure cost recovery of staff time.
9. Expanded the grounds for suspension and revocation of licenses to include the sale of tobacco to minors or selling flavored tobacco and knowingly concealing any flavored tobacco or intoxicating products with the intent to evade or avoid compliance with the revised ordinance.
a. First violation for such actions shall result in suspension for 30 days; b. Second violation shall result in suspension for 60 days; and c. Third violation shall result in revocation.
10.Added operational requirements for all tobacco retailers:
a. Tobacco retailing can only occur within the approved premises, not in the parking lot, vehicle, or storage container;
b. Clerks selling tobacco products shall be at least 21 years of age; and c. Tobacco products must be displayed in one contiguous area of the store, as shown on the approved site plan, not throughout a retail shop. 411
ATTACHMENT A
11. In addition, smoke shops must also operate:
a. Only pursuant to their Police Department approved security plan; and b. Only between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
12.Added requirement that neither Smoke shops nor Smoking lounges may operate as part of, or in the same business space, where alcoholic beverages are sold.
13.All tobacco retailers are banned from selling flavored tobacco; however, the new ordinance added an exception that allows licensed Smoking lounges to sell flavored premium cigars with a wholesale price of $12 each or more, flavored loose-leaf pipe tobacco, and flavored shisha/hookah tobacco for onsite consumption only.
14.Expressly prohibits tobacco retailers from displaying or selling items for the purpose of intoxication, including cannabis, psilocybin, mushrooms, nitrous, kratom, and aerosols.
a. Revisions prohibit the sale of items for consumption that contain hempderived THC or intoxicating cannabinoids.
15.Penalties for Violations have been revised to clarify allowed penalties for violations and to increase the number of violations that may be charged during an inspection.
16.The Police Department is now expressly allowed to seize any tobacco product that violates the revised ordinance.
The City Council, following the presentation of the above proposed amendments to the Tobacco Retailer Ordinance, did not adopt the proposed amendments but has directed staff to continue to study the issue and to address specific concerns raised during the presentation about how the Tobacco Retailer Ordinance can best address the public health and safety threats created by smoke shops.
Therefore, in order to make the additional revisions directed by City Council, and with the understanding that said revisions cannot be made and brought back to City Council for consideration and adoption at a regular meeting prior to the expiration of the extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 on March 2, 2026, City staff is presenting a request for City Council to consider a second and final extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 on February 17, 2026.
OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT: Members of the public will have the opportunity to comment on the proposed extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03- 04-1504 at the City Council meeting on February 17, 2026. The City will publish notice for this meeting pursuant to California Government Code section 65090. 412
ORDINANCE NO. ________________
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2025-03-04-1504
ADOPTING FINDINGS AND ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW AND RELOCATION OR PHYSICAL EXPANSION OF
EXISTING TOBACCO RETAILER BUSINESSES, ALSO KNOWN AS SMOKE SHOPS,
WITHIN THE CITY OF STOCKTON
The City of Stockton (“City”) is a municipal corporation duly organized as a Charter City under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and The City Council has broad discretion pursuant to Article III, Section 300 of the City Charter; California Constitution Article IX, Section 5; and the general laws of the state, including, but not limited to, the California Planning and Zoning Law (Gov. Code § 65000 et seq.), to legislate for public purposed and for the general welfare, including, but not limited to, matters of public health and safety; and
The City protects the public health, safety, and welfare of the community through numerous avenues, including by establishing and enforcing zoning, licensing, and health and safety regulations on specified commercial activities; and Government Code section 65858, subdivision (a) provides that the legislative body of a city may, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal the City Council is considering or studying or intends to study; and
Government Code section 36937 authorizes the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety; and
Government Code section 65858, subsection (a) provides that to protect against any current and immediate threats to public health, safety, or welfare, the City Council may adopt, as an urgency measure, an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City plans to study; and
On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted the underlying Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504. That Ordinance was set to expire on April 18, 2025, 45 days after March 4, 2025; and
Government Code section 65858, subsection (a) provides that, after notice pursuant to Government Code section 65090 and public hearing, the City Council may extend Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days and subsequently extend Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for one 413
(1) year. Pursuant to Government Code section 65858, any extension requires a fourfifths vote for adoption and no more than two (2) extensions may be adopted; and On April 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601, which extended Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days so that the Ordinance is now set to expire on March 2, 2026; and The City Council deems it necessary to extend Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03- 04-1504 by the allowed one (1) year; and
This Ordinance is an extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04- 1504, adopted pursuant to the authority granted to the City by Government Code section 65858, subsection (a), and is for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare based on the City’s determination that the following facts and conditions still exist and constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare:
The City has seen a proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, also known as smoke shops, within the City; and
There are currently 156 approved tobacco retailer businesses, and 19 license applications pending Police Department approval. Staff and the Stockton Police Department do not currently know the number of additional establishments operating without a business license in the City; and
The City is concerned about this recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, locations of tobacco retailer businesses, the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments containing industrial hemp on the health, safety, and welfare of City residents and especially youth; and
Tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, which, if not curtailed present an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare; and
Tobacco retailer businesses can be a target for theft and vandalism, as well as may be affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity; and
Within the last year, the Stockton Police Department conducted inspection at various tobacco retailers throughout the City and found evidence of and confiscated illegal tobacco products including flavored tobacco, found evidence of cannabis-infused items, and illegal gambling. During enforcement of the current ordinance, four (4) Tobacco Retail Licenses were successfully revoked, ten (10) Tobacco Retail Licenses were denied and upheld on appeal, and six (6) more denials are currently pending appeal. Additionally, the Stockton Police 414
Department has conducted more than 400 inspections of tobacco retailers and issued over 60 citations; and
On November 8, 2022, California voters upheld the state law (“SB 793”) prohibiting a tobacco retailer, or any of the tobacco retailer’s agents or employees, from selling, offering for sale, or processing with the intent to sell or offer for sale, most flavored tobacco products including flavored e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes, as well as tobacco product flavor enhancers in retail locations; and
On October 7, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsome signed into law AB 935, strengthening the enforcement of the flavored tobacco retail law and broadening the definition of retail locations; and
Cities still retain the authority to draft and enforce local flavored tobacco bans for products; and
On September 23, 2024, the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) promulgated emergency regulations related to industrial hemp and the threat to public health, safety, and welfare, particularly to minors; and The CDPH regulations come after California Governor Gavin Newsome directed the CDPH to draft emergency regulations, citing the increasing amounts of safety concerns from the adverse health effects of intoxicating hemp food and beverage products; and
The emergency regulations aim to combat hemp products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) that skirt the age and sale restrictions that have been placed on recreational marijuana sold through licensed and regulated dispensaries; and
Hemp products have been found to be sold in tobacco retailer businesses, or smoke shops, with marketing aimed toward children featuring colorful packaging designs and sweet candy flavors; and
As currently defined under state law, “industrial hemp” is permitted to contain a delta-9 THC concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis; however, the emergency regulations prohibit industrial hemp final form food and beverage products, specifically, from containing any detectible level of THC; and The emergency regulations expand on the number of psychoactive cannabinoids that will need to be undetectable in industrial hemp final form products, including edibles such as gummies, other candies and drinks as well as restricting serving sizes such products contain to five servings or fewer and limiting sales of the products to consumers who are at least 21 years of age; and 415
Aside from new regulations related to hemp, many state laws have been adopted, which acknowledge the public health impacts of tobacco, especially flavored tobacco products, and specifically its effect on minors. For example, state law prohibits public school students from smoking or using tobacco products while on campus, while attending school-sponsored activities, or while under the supervision or control of school district employees. State law also prohibits smoking in playgrounds. State law also prohibits smoking within twenty (20) feet of the main entrances and exits of public buildings; and Efforts by other jurisdictions to crack down on these businesses with increased enforcement and tough regulations, are indicative of both the need for more stringent regulations and the type of violations and activities the Stockton Police Department is likely to encounter as it increases its own efforts; and Based on the foregoing, the City Council, pursuant to Government Code section 65858, finds that the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retailer businesses would pose a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025- 03-04-1504 imposing the temporary moratorium is necessary; and The City Council finds the extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 is a matter of City-wide importance, is a reasonable and necessary measure designed for the immediate preservation and protection of the public health, safety, or welfare of the community, and is in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable state and local laws and requirements; now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals
The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby adopted as the City Council’s findings.
SECTION 2. Purpose and Activity.
In the interest of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the residents in the City of Stockton, it is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to place a temporary moratorium on the issuance of any new permit, license, or other entitlement for any tobacco retailer business in the City of Stockton. This includes any new permit, license, or other entitlement for the relocation or physical expansion of existing business falling under the definition of tobacco retailer as defined under this Ordinance. The City Council has the authority to adopt this Ordinance pursuant to California Government Code section 65858 as an urgency measure prohibiting any use that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City is considering or studying. 416
SECTION 3. Findings.
The City Council hereby finds and determines that Tobacco Retailer Businesses constitute an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. The approval of additional entitlements for Tobacco Retailer Businesses and approval of the relocation or physical expansion of existing Tobacco Retailer Businesses under the City’s current regulations will further threaten the public health, safety, and welfare. The adoption of this Ordinance extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 is therefore necessary for the immediate protection of public health, safety, and welfare. The above recitals are incorporated herein by reference as true and correct and as the City Council’s findings.
SECTION 4. Definitions.
A. “Person” means and includes any individual, partnership, cooperative association, private corporation, personal representative, receiver, trustee, assignee, or other legal entity.
B. “Tobacco Paraphernalia” means any item designed or marketed for the consumption, use, or preparation of a tobacco product.
C. “Tobacco Product” means: (1) any product containing, made, or derived from tobacco or nicotine that is intended for human consumption, whether smoked, heated, chewed, absorbed, dissolved, inhaled, snorted, sniffed, aerosolized, vaporized, or ingested by any other means, including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, little cigars, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, bidis, kreteks, snuff, e-liquids, or vape juice; (2) any device or component, part, or accessory that delivers nicotine alone or combined with other substances to the person using the device, including, but not limited, to electronic cigarette (or "e-cigarette"), electronic cigar (or "ecigar''), electronic pipe (or "e-pipe"), vape pen, electronic hookah (or "e-hookah"), cigars, or pipes, whether or not the device or component is sold separately. "Tobacco product" does not include any product that has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use as a tobacco cessation product where such product is marketed and sold solely for such an approved purpose.
D. “Tobacco Retailer Business” means any person who sells, offers for sale, exchanges, or offers to exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia without regard to the quantity sold, offered for sale, exchanged, or offered for exchange.
SECTION 5. Moratorium Imposed.
A. Scope. In accordance with the authority granted the City of Stockton under Article XI, Sections 5 and 7 of the California Constitution and California Government Code section 65858, from and after the effective date of this Ordinance, no license, 417
permit, or other entitlement for use, including, but not limited to, the issuance of a business license, building permit, conditional use permit, or other land use approval, shall be approved or issued by the City for the establishment, relocation or physical expansion of a Tobacco Retailer Business. Additionally, the establishment, relocation, or physical expansion of the Tobacco Retailer Business is hereby expressly prohibited in all areas and zoning districts of the City.
B. Exceptions. This Ordinance shall not prohibit the renewal of a business license for an existing Tobacco Retailer Business, provided that the renewal seeks to maintain the business without physical expansion and in its current location, and the Tobacco Retailer Business is operating in a manner, and housed within a building, which complies with all City, State, Federal, or otherwise applicable, codes, rules, regulations, or laws.
SECTION 6. Violation.
Except as otherwise permitted under this Ordinance, the establishment, relocation, or physical expansion of a Tobacco Retailer Business within the limits of the City is declared to be a public nuisance. Violations of this Ordinance may be enforced by any applicable laws or ordinances, including, but not limited to, injunctions or administrative or criminal penalties under the Stockton Municipal Code.
SECTION 7. Term of Ordinance.
This Ordinance shall be in effect from the date of adoption for a period of one (1) year, and will expire on February 16, 2027, and pursuant to Government Code section 65858, shall not be further extended beyond that date.
SECTION 8. Environmental Review / California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
This Ordinance is intended to preserve the status quo, and it will not cause a direct physical change in the environment, nor a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The enactment of this Ordinance, therefore, does not constitute the approval of a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it is exempt from CEQA.
SECTION 9. Report.
The City Manager, or designee, is authorized and directed to prepare the report required by Government Code section 65858, subsection (d), describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of this Ordinance. The report shall be presented to the City Counsel no later than ten (10) days before the expiration of this Ordinance.
SECTION 10. Severability.
418
If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. This City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof and intends that the invalid portions be severed, and the balance of the Ordinance be enforced.
SECTION 11. Effective Date and Publication.
This Ordinance, passed by at least a four-fifths vote of the City Council following a public hearing, is declared to be an interim Urgency Ordinance for preserving the public health, safety, and welfare and shall take effect and be enforced immediately upon adoption pursuant to Government Code section 36937.

ADOPT AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.104 OF THE STOCKTON
MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATING TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE REQUIREMENTS AND
REGULATIONS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt an urgency ordinance amending Title 5, Chapter 5.104 of the Stockton Municipal Code relating to tobacco retailers.
2. Approve and issue the attached City Council Report pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d).
3. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
Summary
Staff is presenting extensive updates to the City’s existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance (SMC 5.104).
The purpose of the Tobacco Retailer Ordinance is to encourage responsible tobacco retailing and to discourage violations of tobacco-related laws, especially those that prohibit or discourage the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors or prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, but not to expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by Federal and State law are criminally proscribed or to alter the penalties provided by such laws. After adoption of the original Tobacco Retailer Ordinance in 2023, there remained a proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, specifically smoke shops, and the harmful effects of tobacco, including flavored tobacco and other products sold at these establishments, continued to negatively impact the health, safety, and welfare of City residents, especially youth. Staff was directed to study the issue further and propose amendments to the Tobacco Retailer Ordinance which would address these issues.
Further, California Government Code Section 65858(d) requires the City Council to issue a written report ten (10) days before the earliest of either: the interim ordinance’s expiration; or prior to the adoption of an extension. The report shall describe the measures the City is taking to alleviate the condition(s) that led to the interim ordinance’s adoption. The approval and issuance of the attached City Council Report (Attachment B) will satisfy City Council’s requirements pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d).

DISCUSSION
Background
On June 20, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2023-06-20-1502 requiring all retailers who sell tobacco and tobacco products in the City to obtain a tobacco retail license. The ordinance also provided a process for the application, approval, and denial of a license application. The ordinance went into effect on September 18, 2023, and licensing began on a rolling basis for the approximately 272 tobacco retailers existing in the City at that time. The continued rise in smoke shop applications, particularly those offering flavored tobacco and vaping products that disproportionately appeal to youth, has prompted heightened concern from community members, neighborhood groups, and public health advocates. Recent data and anecdotal reports from school administrators and neighborhood leaders suggest a correlation between the presence of tobacco retailers and increased youth access to such products. Many existing retailers are clustered in lowincome and underserved communities, raising environmental justice and equity concerns about disproportionate health impacts. Additionally, issues such as inadequate separation between smoke shops and sensitive uses (e.g., schools, daycare centers), inadequate operational standards, and limited enforcement tools have made it clear that a more robust policy framework is needed. While progress has been made during the enforcement of the current Tobacco Retailer Ordinance, including the successful revocation of four (4) existing tobacco retail licenses, the denial of ten (10) additional applications for new tobacco retail licenses, and the criminal prosecution of fifteen (15) individuals found guilty of selling flavored tobacco products, additional regulation is still necessary to adequately address the danger to public health, safety, and welfare presented by the proliferation of tobacco retailers, particularly those who continue to sell flavored tobacco products.
On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504, establishing a temporary 45-day moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses, commonly known as smoke shops, within the City of Stockton.
The urgency ordinance was adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 in response to the increasing concentration and proliferation of tobacco and vape retailers in specific neighborhoods, particularly in proximity to schools, parks, and youth-serving facilities.
Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 was set to expire on April 18, 2025. On April 15, 2025, the Stockton City Council adopted Ordinance no. 2025-04-15-1601, extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for 10 months and 15 days pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a).
Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 is set to expire on March 2, 2026.
The initial moratorium and subsequent extension were enacted to allow the City to assess the potential adverse impacts of tobacco retail businesses on public health, safety, youth exposure, land use compatibility, and neighborhood character, and to evaluate the effectiveness of existing regulations and prior amendments through observation and analysis.
Present Situation
Since the adoption of the moratorium, City staff have continued to study the issue. Specifically, the Administrative Services, Community Development, and Stockton Police Departments, have led efforts to revise the existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance to further address the public health and safety threats created by smoke shops under the existing ordinance.

File #: 26-0152, Version: 1
The following is a summary of the proposed revisions reflected in Attachment A:
1. Added express prohibition on the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis.
2. Added numerous definitions to ensure that compliance and enforcement for Chapter violations are clear.
3. Replaced having one single tobacco retailer license type with 4 separate license types:
a. Tobacco retailer- Exempt,
b. Tobacco retailer- Ancillary,
c. Tobacco retailer- Smoke shop, and
d. Tobacco retailer- Smoking lounge.
The separate license types allow for application requirements, locational criteria, operational mandates, and enforcement efforts to be tailored to the different types of business operations and their unique community impacts.
4. The license type “Tobacco retailer- Exempt” creates an exemption from the license requirement to incentivize fresh and healthy food sales for City residents.
Retail (e.g. grocery) stores have to apply for a license but are exempt from locational and operational requirements if they use less than 5% of their retail sales space for tobacco and more than 10% or more of their retail sales space for the sale and display of fresh food, including agricultural products like fresh fruits and vegetables; nuts; minimally processed prepared foods; fresh meat, fish, or poultry; juice and dairy products; and fresh baked goods, breads, and cereals.
5. New application requirements:
a. In addition to existing Chapter 5.104 requirements, applicants for all four (4) license types must submit a layout of the premises showing where tobacco retailing will take place and areas where tobacco will be stored.
b. Smoke shop applicants will additionally have to submit a security plan for review and approval by the Police Department that includes video surveillance, physical security, and a uniformed security personnel deployment plan.
c. Smoke shop applicants will also be subject to background checks. If, in the Chief of Police’s opinion, an applicant’s background renders them unsuitable to operate a smoke shop, then the application will be denied.
6. Requires Tobacco retail licensees to maintain a valid business license that identifies tobacco retail sales on the business license. If a license is revoked, the business license shall be updated promptly.
7. Strengthened locational criteria:
a. New Smoke shops, General tobacco retailers, and Smoking lounges cannot be within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors or other General tobacco retailers or Smoke shops.
City of Stockton Page 3 of 5 Printed on 2/12/2026
powered by Legistar™422
File #: 26-0152, Version: 1
b. Sensitive receptors include residential zones or uses, K-12 schools, childcare facilities, public parks and youth facilities, religious facilities, and drug or alcohol recovery/treatment facilities.
8. Added express ability for law enforcement to conduct scheduled or unannounced inspections of tobacco retail licensees’ premises.
a. Refusal to allow an inspection is a violation of the revised ordinance. b. A fee shall be charged for such inspections to ensure cost recovery of staff time.
9. Expanded the grounds for suspension and revocation of licenses to include the sale of tobacco to minors or selling flavored tobacco and knowingly concealing any flavored tobacco or intoxicating products with the intent to evade or avoid compliance with the revised ordinance.
a. First violation for such actions shall result in suspension for 30 days; b. Second violation shall result in suspension for 60 days; and c. Third violation shall result in revocation.
10.Added operational requirements for all tobacco retailers:
a. Tobacco retailing can only occur within the approved premises, not in the parking lot, vehicle, or storage container;
b. Clerks selling tobacco products shall be at least 21 years of age; and c. Tobacco products must be displayed in one contiguous area of the store, as shown on the approved site plan, not throughout a retail shop.
11. In addition, smoke shops must also operate:
a. Only pursuant to their Police Department approved security plan; and b. Only between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
12.Added requirement that neither Smoke shops nor Smoking lounges may operate as part of, or in the same business space, where alcoholic beverages are sold.
13.All tobacco retailers are banned from selling flavored tobacco; however, the new ordinance added an exception that allows licensed Smoking lounges to sell flavored premium cigars with a wholesale price of $12 each or more, flavored loose-leaf pipe tobacco, and flavored shisha/hookah tobacco for onsite consumption only.
14.Expressly prohibits tobacco retailers from displaying or selling items for the purpose of intoxication, including cannabis, psilocybin, mushrooms, nitrous, kratom, and aerosols. a. Revisions prohibit the sale of items for consumption that contain hemp-derived THC or intoxicating cannabinoids.
15.Penalties for Violations have been revised to clarify allowed penalties for violations and to increase the number of violations that may be charged during an inspection.
16.The Police Department is now expressly allowed to seize any tobacco product that violates the revised ordinance.

Effective Date of the Ordinance
The proposed urgency ordinance will go into effect immediately upon adoption by a four-fifths (4/5) vote. Adoption of the urgency ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare based on the City’s determination that the facts presented in the urgency ordinance still exist and constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare. Because the current moratorium on the establishment, relocation, or physical expansion of tobacco retailers is set to expire on March 2, 2026, there is a need for this ordinance to go into effect immediately so that there is not a period of time after the expiration of the moratorium but before the ordinance amending the current Tobacco Retailer Ordinance goes into effect, which would allow for the continued proliferation of smoke shops within the City in contrast to the purpose of the moratorium.
Due to the upcoming expiration of the moratorium, staff has separately agendized an extension of the moratorium under the public hearing section of the February 17, 2026 City Council agenda. In the event the City Council requires additional revisions to this ordinance, staff will recommend adoption of the moratorium extension under that item. If this ordinance is adopted, the public hearing item will be removed from the agenda.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Projected tobacco retail related revenue is anticipated to decrease from pre-moratorium levels. This reduction reflects enhanced regulatory requirements that are expected to limit the number of new tobacco retail business openings. Any revenue impacts are not anticipated to materially affect the City’s General Fund.

ORDINANCE NO. ________________
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.104 OF THE
STOCKTON MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATING TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. FINDINGS AND INTENT.
The failure of tobacco retailers to comply with all tobacco control laws, particularly the sale of tobacco products to minors, presents a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. A local licensing program for tobacco retailers is intended to ensure that tobacco retailers comply with tobacco control laws and business standards of the City of Stockton and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of those persons who reside in, work in, and visit the City of Stockton.
State law explicitly authorizes cities to enact local tobacco retail licensing ordinances and allows for the suspension or revocation of a local license for a violation of any state tobacco control law. A requirement for a tobacco retail license will not unduly burden legitimate business activities of retailers who sell or distribute tobacco products to adults but will allow the City of Stockton to regulate the operations of lawful businesses to discourage violations of Federal, State, and local tobacco-related laws. The City of Stockton has a substantial interest in promoting compliance with Federal, State, and local laws intended to regulate tobacco sales and use; discouraging the illegal purchase of tobacco products by minors; promoting compliance with laws prohibiting sales of tobacco products to minors; and protecting children from being lured into illegal activity through the misconduct of adults.
On June 20, 2023, this Chapter was adopted by the City of Stockton, creating a tobacco retail license requirement and regulations. On March 4, 2025, the City of Stockton adopted a 45-day moratorium on the issuance of new tobacco retail licenses pursuant to this Chapter and on April 15, 2025, that moratorium was extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days. The moratorium was based on express findings by the City of Stockton that the recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, specifically smoke shops, and the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments were negatively impacting the health, safety, and welfare of City residents, especially youth. Further, tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, targets for theft and vandalism, and affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug 425
ATTACHMENT A
paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity. Since the adoption of the moratorium, City staff have continued to study the issue and proposed revisions to the existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance to address the public health and safety threats created by smoke shops under the existing ordinance.
This Chapter is hereby amended to specifically address those findings and to continue to encourage responsible tobacco retailing and to discourage violation of tobaccorelated laws, especially those that prohibit or discourage the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors or that prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis. This Chapter does not expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by Federal or State law are criminally proscribed or alter the penalties provided by such laws.
Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to penalize the purchase, use, or possession of a tobacco product by any person not engaged in tobacco retailing.
The City Council further finds that the immediate adoption of this ordinance pursuant to California Government Code sections 36934 and 36937 is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare based on the City’s determination that the following facts and conditions still exist and constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare:
The City has seen a proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, also known as smoke shops, within the City; and
There are currently 156 approved tobacco retailer businesses, and 19 license applications pending Police Department approval. Staff and the Stockton Police Department do not currently know the number of additional establishments operating without a business license in the City; and
The City is concerned about this recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, locations of tobacco retailer businesses, the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments containing industrial hemp on the health, safety, and welfare of City residents and especially youth; and
Tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, which, if not curtailed present an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare; and
Tobacco retailer businesses can be a target for theft and vandalism, as well as may be affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity; and
426
ATTACHMENT A
Within the last year, the Stockton Police Department conducted inspection at various tobacco retailers throughout the City and found evidence of and confiscated illegal tobacco products including flavored tobacco, found evidence of cannabis-infused items, and illegal gambling. During enforcement of the current ordinance, 4 Tobacco Retail Licenses were successfully revoked, 10 Tobacco Retail Licenses were denied and upheld on appeal, and 6 more denials are currently pending appeal. Additionally, the Stockton Police Department has conducted more than 400 inspections of tobacco retailers and issued over 60 citations; and
On November 8, 2022, California voters upheld the state law (“SB 793”) prohibiting a tobacco retailer, or any of the tobacco retailer’s agents or employees, from selling, offering for sale, or processing with the intent to sell or offer for sale, most flavored tobacco products including flavored e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes, as well as tobacco product flavor enhancers in retail locations; and
On October 7, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsome signed into law AB 935, strengthening the enforcement of the flavored tobacco retail law and broadening the definition of retail locations; and
Cities still retain the authority to draft and enforce local flavored tobacco bans for products; and
On September 23, 2024, the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) promulgated emergency regulations related to industrial hemp and the threat to public health, safety, and welfare, particularly to minors; and The CDPH regulations come after California Governor Gavin Newsome directed the CDPH to draft emergency regulations, citing the increasing amounts of safety concerns from the adverse health effects of intoxicating hemp food and beverage products; and
The emergency regulations aim to combat hemp products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) that skirt the age and sale restrictions that have been placed on recreational marijuana sold through licensed and regulated dispensaries; and
Hemp products have been found to be sold in tobacco retailer businesses, or smoke shops, with marketing aimed toward children featuring colorful packaging designs and sweet candy flavors; and
As currently defined under state law, “industrial hemp” is permitted to contain a delta-9 THC concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis; 427
ATTACHMENT A
however, the emergency regulations prohibit industrial hemp final form food and beverage products, specifically, from containing any detectible level of THC; and The emergency regulations expand on the number of psychoactive cannabinoids that will need to be undetectable in industrial hemp final form products, including edibles such as gummies, other candies and drinks as well as restricting serving sizes such products contain to five servings or fewer and limiting sales of the products to consumers who are at least 21 years of age; and Aside from new regulations related to hemp, many state laws have been adopted, which acknowledge the public health impacts of tobacco, especially flavored tobacco products, and specifically its effect on minors. For example, state law prohibits public school students from smoking or using tobacco products while on campus, while attending school-sponsored activities, or while under the supervision or control of school district employees. State law also prohibits smoking in playgrounds. State law also prohibits smoking within twenty (20) feet of the main entrances and exits of public buildings; and Efforts by other jurisdictions to crack down on these businesses with increased enforcement and tough regulations, are indicative of both the need for more stringent regulations and the type of violations and activities the Stockton Police Department is likely to encounter as it increases its own efforts; and On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted the Urgency Ordinance no. 2025-03- 04- 1504, creating a moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses in the City. That Ordinance was set to expire on April 18, 2025, 45 days after adoption; and
On April 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance no. 2025-04-15-1601, which extended Urgency Ordinance no. 2025-03-04-1504 for 10 months and 15 days so that the Ordinance is now set to expire on March 2, 2026; and The City Council finds and declares that the adoption and implementation of this ordinance is necessary to address the danger to public health, safety, and general welfare as articulated above, and to prevent a lapse between the expiration of the current moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses and the adoption of this ordinance addressing the issues which precipitated said moratorium.
SECTION II. AMENDMENT OF CODE.
Title 5, Chapter 5.104 of the Stockton Municipal Code is hereby amended and shall read as follows:

CITY COUNCIL REPORT ISSUED PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858(d)
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Report on Measures Taken Following Adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 Establishing a Temporary 45-Day Moratorium and Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 Extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 For 10 Months and 15 Days.
BACKGROUND: On March 4, 2025, the Stockton City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504, which established a temporary moratorium on the issuance of any license, permit, or other entitlement for use for the establishment, relocation, or physical expansion of a tobacco retailer business. Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 was set to expire on April 18, 2025. On April 15, 2025, the Stockton City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601, extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 for 10 months and 15 days pursuant to Government Code section 65858(a). Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 is set to expire on March 2, 2026.
California Government Code section 65858(d) requires the City Council to issue a written report 10 days prior to the expiration of the interim ordinance or any extension.
The report shall describe the measures the City is taking to alleviate the condition(s) that led to the interim ordinance’s adoption.
Ordinance No. 2025-04-15-1601 extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2025-03-04-1504 will expire on March 2, 2026. City staff will present a request for City Council to consider various amendments to the City’s current Tobacco Retail License Ordinance (Stockton Municipal Code Chapter 5.104) to address the health and safety concerns which led to the adoption of the Urgency Ordinance and the extension of the Urgency Ordinance.
Any such amendments adopted by the City Council shall go into effect prior to the expiration of the moratorium. Therefore, this report satisfies the requirements of California Government Code section 65858(d).
DISCUSSION: The purpose of Chapter 5.104 Tobacco Retailers is to encourage responsible tobacco retailing and to discourage violations of tobacco-related laws, especially those that prohibit or discourage the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors or prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis, but not to expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by Federal and State law are criminally proscribed or to alter the penalties provided by such laws.
On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco 453
ATTACHMENT B
retailer businesses. On April 15, 2025, that moratorium was extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days and will expire on March 2, 2026.
That moratorium was based on express findings by the City Council that the recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, specifically smoke shops, and the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments were negatively impacting the health, safety, and welfare of City residents, especially youth. Further, tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, targets for theft and vandalism, and affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity.
Stockton Police Department has conducted inspections at various tobacco retailers throughout the City and found evidence of and confiscated illegal tobacco products, including flavored tobacco, cannabis-infused items, and illegal gambling.
Since the adoption of the moratorium, City staff have continued to study the issue.
Specifically, the Administrative Services, Community Development, and Stockton Police Departments have led efforts to revise the existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance to address the public health and safety threats created by smoke shops under the existing ordinance.
The following is a summary of the proposed revisions which are being presented to the City Council for consideration and adoption on February 17, 2026:
1. Added express prohibition on the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis.
2. Added numerous definitions to ensure that compliance and enforcement for Chapter violations are clear.
3. Replaced having one single tobacco retailer license type with 4 separate license types:
a. Tobacco retailer- Exempt,
b. Tobacco retailer- Ancillary,
c. Tobacco retailer- Smoke shop, and
d. Tobacco retailer- Smoking lounge.
The separate license types allow for application requirements, locational criteria, operational mandates, and enforcement efforts to be tailored to the different types of business operations and their unique community impacts.
4. The license type “Tobacco retailer- Exempt” creates an exemption from the license requirement to incentivize fresh and healthy food sales for City residents. 454
ATTACHMENT B
Retail (e.g. grocery) stores have to apply for a license but are exempt from locational and operational requirements if they use less than 5% of their retail sales space for tobacco and more than 10% or more of their retail sales space for the sale and display of fresh food, including agricultural products like fresh fruits and vegetables; nuts; minimally processed prepared foods; fresh meat, fish, or poultry; juice and dairy products; and fresh baked goods, breads, and cereals.
5. New application requirements:
a. In addition to existing Chapter 5.104 requirements, applicants for all four (4) license types must submit a layout of the premises showing where tobacco retailing will take place and areas where tobacco will be stored. b. Smoke shop applicants will additionally have to submit a security plan for review and approval by the Police Department that includes video surveillance, physical security, and a uniformed security personnel deployment plan.
c. Smoke shop applicants will also be subject to background checks. If, in the Chief of Police’s opinion, an applicant’s background renders them unsuitable to operate a smoke shop, then the application will be denied.
6. Requires Tobacco retail licensees to maintain a valid business license that identifies tobacco retail sales on the business license. If a license is revoked, the business license shall be updated promptly.
7. Strengthened locational criteria:
a. New Smoke shops, General tobacco retailers, and Smoking lounges cannot be within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors or other General tobacco retailers or Smoke shops.
b. Sensitive receptors include residential zones or uses, K-12 schools, childcare facilities, public parks and youth facilities, religious facilities, and drug or alcohol recovery/treatment facilities.
8. Added express ability for law enforcement to conduct scheduled or unannounced inspections of tobacco retail licensees’ premises.
a. Refusal to allow an inspection is a violation of the revised ordinance. b. A fee shall be charged for such inspections to ensure cost recovery of staff time.
455
ATTACHMENT B
9. Expanded the grounds for suspension and revocation of licenses to include the sale of tobacco to minors or selling flavored tobacco and knowingly concealing any flavored tobacco or intoxicating products with the intent to evade or avoid compliance with the revised ordinance.
a. First violation for such actions shall result in suspension for 30 days; b. Second violation shall result in suspension for 60 days; and c. Third violation shall result in revocation.
10.Added operational requirements for all tobacco retailers:
a. Tobacco retailing can only occur within the approved premises, not in the parking lot, vehicle, or storage container;
b. Clerks selling tobacco products shall be at least 21 years of age; and c. Tobacco products must be displayed in one contiguous area of the store, as shown on the approved site plan, not throughout a retail shop.
11. In addition, smoke shops must also operate:
a. Only pursuant to their Police Department approved security plan; and b. Only between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
12.Added requirement that neither Smoke shops nor Smoking lounges may operate as part of, or in the same business space, where alcoholic beverages are sold.
13.All tobacco retailers are banned from selling flavored tobacco; however, the new ordinance added an exception that allows licensed Smoking lounges to sell flavored premium cigars with a wholesale price of $12 each or more, flavored loose-leaf pipe tobacco, and flavored shisha/hookah tobacco for onsite consumption only.
14.Expressly prohibits tobacco retailers from displaying or selling items for the purpose of intoxication, including cannabis, psilocybin, mushrooms, nitrous, kratom, and aerosols.
a. Revisions prohibit the sale of items for consumption that contain hempderived THC or intoxicating cannabinoids.
15.Penalties for Violations have been revised to clarify allowed penalties for violations and to increase the number of violations that may be charged during an inspection.
456
ATTACHMENT B
16.The Police Department is now expressly allowed to seize any tobacco product that violates the revised ordinance.
OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT: Members of the public will have the opportunity to comment on the proposed amendments to Chapter 5.104 at the City Council meeting on February 17, 2026.

ORDINANCE NO. ________________
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.104 OF THE
STOCKTON MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATING TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. FINDINGS AND INTENT.
The failure of tobacco retailers to comply with all tobacco control laws, particularly the sale of tobacco products to minors, presents a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. A local licensing program for tobacco retailers is intended to ensure that tobacco retailers comply with tobacco control laws and business standards of the City of Stockton and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of those persons who reside in, work in, and visit the City of Stockton.
State law explicitly authorizes cities to enact local tobacco retail licensing ordinances and allows for the suspension or revocation of a local license for a violation of any state tobacco control law. A requirement for a tobacco retail license will not unduly burden legitimate business activities of retailers who sell or distribute tobacco products to adults but will allow the City of Stockton to regulate the operations of lawful businesses to discourage violations of Federal, State, and local tobacco-related laws. The City of Stockton has a substantial interest in promoting compliance with Federal, State, and local laws intended to regulate tobacco sales and use; discouraging the illegal purchase of tobacco products by minors; promoting compliance with laws prohibiting sales of tobacco products to minors; and protecting children from being lured into illegal activity through the misconduct of adults.
On June 20, 2023, this Chapter was adopted by the City of Stockton, creating a tobacco retail license requirement and regulations. On March 4, 2025, the City of Stockton adopted a 45-day moratorium on the issuance of new tobacco retail licenses pursuant to this Chapter and on April 15, 2025, that moratorium was extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days. The moratorium was based on express findings by the City of Stockton that the recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, specifically smoke shops, and the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments were negatively impacting the health, safety, and welfare of City residents, especially youth. Further, tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, targets for theft and vandalism, and affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug 458
paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity. Since the adoption of the moratorium, City staff have continued to study the issue and proposed revisions to the existing Tobacco Retailer Ordinance to address the public health and safety threats created by smoke shops under the existing ordinance.
This Chapter is hereby amended to specifically address those findings and to continue to encourage responsible tobacco retailing and to discourage violation of tobaccorelated laws, especially those that prohibit or discourage the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors or that prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, industrial hemp products containing intoxicating cannabinoids, and illegal cannabis. This Chapter does not expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by Federal or State law are criminally proscribed or alter the penalties provided by such laws.
Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to penalize the purchase, use, or possession of a tobacco product by any person not engaged in tobacco retailing.
The City Council further finds that the immediate adoption of this ordinance pursuant to California Government Code sections 36934 and 36937 is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare based on the City’s determination that the following facts and conditions still exist and constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare:
The City has seen a proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, also known as smoke shops, within the City; and
There are currently 156 approved tobacco retailer businesses, and 19 license applications pending Police Department approval. Staff and the Stockton Police Department do not currently know the number of additional establishments operating without a business license in the City; and
The City is concerned about this recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, locations of tobacco retailer businesses, the harmful effects of tobacco and other products sold at these establishments containing industrial hemp on the health, safety, and welfare of City residents and especially youth; and
Tobacco retailer businesses have also been a source of unlawful activities in the City, which, if not curtailed present an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare; and
Tobacco retailer businesses can be a target for theft and vandalism, as well as may be affiliated with the sale of illegal cannabis products and drug paraphernalia that encourage illegal activity; and
459
Within the last year, the Stockton Police Department conducted inspection at various tobacco retailers throughout the City and found evidence of and confiscated illegal tobacco products including flavored tobacco, found evidence of cannabis-infused items, and illegal gambling. During enforcement of the current ordinance, 4 Tobacco Retail Licenses were successfully revoked, 10 Tobacco Retail Licenses were denied and upheld on appeal, and 6 more denials are currently pending appeal. Additionally, the Stockton Police Department has conducted more than 400 inspections of tobacco retailers and issued over 60 citations; and
On November 8, 2022, California voters upheld the state law (“SB 793”) prohibiting a tobacco retailer, or any of the tobacco retailer’s agents or employees, from selling, offering for sale, or processing with the intent to sell or offer for sale, most flavored tobacco products including flavored e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes, as well as tobacco product flavor enhancers in retail locations; and
On October 7, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsome signed into law AB 935, strengthening the enforcement of the flavored tobacco retail law and broadening the definition of retail locations; and
Cities still retain the authority to draft and enforce local flavored tobacco bans for products; and
On September 23, 2024, the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) promulgated emergency regulations related to industrial hemp and the threat to public health, safety, and welfare, particularly to minors; and The CDPH regulations come after California Governor Gavin Newsome directed the CDPH to draft emergency regulations, citing the increasing amounts of safety concerns from the adverse health effects of intoxicating hemp food and beverage products; and
The emergency regulations aim to combat hemp products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) that skirt the age and sale restrictions that have been placed on recreational marijuana sold through licensed and regulated dispensaries; and
Hemp products have been found to be sold in tobacco retailer businesses, or smoke shops, with marketing aimed toward children featuring colorful packaging designs and sweet candy flavors; and
460
As currently defined under state law, “industrial hemp” is permitted to contain a delta-9 THC concentration of no more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis; however, the emergency regulations prohibit industrial hemp final form food and beverage products, specifically, from containing any detectible level of THC; and The emergency regulations expand on the number of psychoactive cannabinoids that will need to be undetectable in industrial hemp final form products, including edibles such as gummies, other candies and drinks as well as restricting serving sizes such products contain to five servings or fewer and limiting sales of the products to consumers who are at least 21 years of age; and Aside from new regulations related to hemp, many state laws have been adopted, which acknowledge the public health impacts of tobacco, especially flavored tobacco products, and specifically its effect on minors. For example, state law prohibits public school students from smoking or using tobacco products while on campus, while attending school-sponsored activities, or while under the supervision or control of school district employees. State law also prohibits smoking in playgrounds. State law also prohibits smoking within twenty (20) feet of the main entrances and exits of public buildings; and Efforts by other jurisdictions to crack down on these businesses with increased enforcement and tough regulations, are indicative of both the need for more stringent regulations and the type of violations and activities the Stockton Police Department is likely to encounter as it increases its own efforts; and On March 4, 2025, the City Council adopted the Urgency Ordinance no. 2025-03-04- 1504, creating a moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses in the City. That Ordinance was set to expire on April 18, 2025, 45 days after adoption; and
On April 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance no. 2025-04-15-1601, which extended Urgency Ordinance no. 2025-03-04-1504 for 10 months and 15 days so that the Ordinance is now set to expire on March 2, 2026; and The City Council finds and declares that the adoption and implementation of this ordinance is necessary to address the danger to public health, safety, and general welfare as articulated above, and to prevent a lapse between the expiration of the current moratorium on the establishment of new, and relocation or physical expansion of existing, tobacco retail businesses and the adoption of this ordinance addressing the issues which precipitated said moratorium.

DISCUSSION REGARDING POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CHIEF OF POLICE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss and, if appropriate, provide feedback to the City Manager regarding the negotiation of a potential employment agreement with the Chief of Police.
Summary
This item is brought forward to allow the City Council to discuss the importance of leadership continuity within the Stockton Police Department and to consider providing feedback to the City Manager regarding their views on a potential employment agreement with the Chief of Police. The intent is to promote stability within the department, support continued organizational progress, and ensure consistent leadership amid evolving public safety demands.
DISCUSSION
Background
Since the beginning of Chief Stanley McFadden’s tenure, the Stockton Police Department has experienced increased community engagement, organizational stability, and operational effectiveness. During this period, crime trends have shown promising movement in a positive direction, contributing to improved public safety outcomes across the city.
At a time when law enforcement agencies across California and the nation continue to face recruitment challenges, staffing pressures, and complex public safety demands, continuity of leadership remains critically important. Stability at the executive level supports long-term planning, consistent policy implementation, and sustained community trust.
The men and women of the Stockton Police Department, including sworn officers and civilian staff, benefit from clear leadership direction and organizational certainty. Providing continuity in leadership helps maintain morale, operational consistency, and the successful implementation of departmental initiatives.
In addition to public safety outcomes and internal stability, Chief McFadden has demonstrated a commitment to investing in Stockton’s youth and strengthening relationships between the Police Department and the community. Under his leadership, the department has expanded youth engagement and mentorship initiatives that connect officers and executive leadership with young residents in positive, non-enforcement settings. These efforts support long-term public safety by building trust, creating mentorship opportunities, and increasing transparency around law City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/12/2026

enforcement leadership and operations.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Any fiscal impacts associated with an employment agreement for the Chief of Police would be evaluated during the negotiation process and presented to the City Council for consideration and approval prior to execution. No fiscal impact is associated with this discussion item at this time.
