TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: October 15, 2024
ITEM #: H.6
SUBJECT: Carton Council Grant Budget Appropriation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the appropriation of $14,500 of grant funds to the Recycling Fund (2250) to implement carton recycling.
Staff Contact:
Rosie Ledesma, Environmental Resources Program Manager, (530) 661-2059, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund. This action will result in a Recycling Fund appropriation of $14,500 from a grant awarded by the Carton Council for implementing a new carton recycling program.
Background:
Despite food and beverage cartons being made of mostly paper, a material currently accepted for recycling by WM, cartons have long been a source of trash for Woodland and surrounding jurisdictions. Recent upgrades to WM’s materials recovery facility (MRF) in Sacramento and assistance from the Carton Council will enable the City to introduce cartons as a new material accepted for recycling in the existing collection services provided by WM.
Cartons are layered with multiple materials, including paper, plastic, and aluminum. Some paper mills are able to extract the paper pulp from the cartons and recycle it back into paper products, disposing of the plastic and aluminum residuals. A new Northern California carton recycling facility (scheduled to open in 2025) will recycle cartons using shredders, high pressure, and heat methods to turn all the layers into wallboards used primarily for commercial roofing and other construction purposes.
Discussion:
The grant funding will be used to revise existing school recycling outreach created as part of the School Waste Reduction Program, helping to further divert milk cartons from the waste stream. The other portion of these grant funds will be used in a citywide campaign to educate residents and businesses on the new acceptance of cartons to the existing recycling programs.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the appropriation of $14,500 of grant funds to the Recycling Fund (2250) to implement carton recycling.

SUBJECT: Waiver of Second Reading and Adoption of
Ordinance No. ___, Restrictions for Biodiversity
Conservation at the Woodland Regional Park
Preserve
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. ____, adding Chapter 6.10 “Restrictions for Biodiversity Conservation at the Woodland Regional Park Preserve” to Title 6 “Animals and Fowl” of the Woodland Municipal Code.
Staff Contact:
Ken Hiatt, (530) 661-5800, [email protected] Background:
The WRPP is approximately 160 acres, located between Road 25A and Road 102 at the site of the former landfill, capped and retired in the 1980s. The Preserve has ecological significance and is home to over 20 different native plant species, including the federally listed endangered Palmate Bracted Birds Beak. Additionally, the WRPP’s habitat, which consists of alkali prairie, grassland, valley foothill riparian, fresh emergent wetland, and lacustrine natural communities, lends itself to being a home base for resident and migratory birds such as the Swainson’s hawk and white-tailed kite, among other wildlife.
On April 18, 2023, City Council approved the Woodland Regional Park Preserve Conservation Easement and site-management plan to ensure that the easement area is forever retained and protected. In conjunction with these efforts, City of Woodland staff and its partners have continued moving forward with infrastructural improvements and ongoing conservation management efforts in preparation for its grand opening to the public, planned for Spring 2025. With the objective of promoting the conservation and protection of this unique park preserve’s native flora and fauna (terrestrial and aquatic) to the public, the addition of a WRPP-specific section to Chapter 6.10 to Title 6 was recommended.
Discussion:
Due to the WRPP’s great biodiversity value, it is recommended to create the following new Chapter within Title 6, “Animals and Fowl” of the Municipal Code to enact restrictions that will help to address the unique conservation and protection needs of the WRPP.
The proposed new Chapter establishes the following restrictions within the WRPP premises:
• No dogs, horses, or other domesticated animals are allowed, except for service animals on leash, grazing livestock, and livestock guard dogs used specifically for vegetation management, conducted by, or under the supervision of the City of Woodland; • No releasing of terrestrial and/or aquatic animals or organisms, unless conducted by, or under the supervision of the City of Woodland;
• No dumping or introducing of terrestrial and/or aquatic plants, seeds, or other propagules, unless conducted by, or under the supervision of the City of Woodland; and
• No removal or cutting of vegetation is permitted, unless conducted by, or under the supervision of the City of Woodland.
At the October 1, 2024 City Council Meeting, the City Council introduced and waived the first reading of Ordinance No. ___ following a presentation by the City Manager. The presentation consisted of the proposed addition to Title 6 “Animals and Fowl” of the Woodland Municipal code, enacting restrictions that will protect and conserve animals and plants at the soon-to-be publicly accessible Woodland Regional Park Preserve (WRPP).
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. ____, adding Chapter 6.10 “Restrictions for Biodiversity Conservation at the Woodland Regional Park Preserve” to Title 6 “Animals and Fowl” of the Woodland Municipal Code.

ITEM #: I.8
SUBJECT: Designation of East St. Underground Utility District Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive the staff report; 2) Conduct a public hearing; and 3) Adopt Resolution No.____ designating the East St. Underground Utility District.
Staff Contact:
Richard Perry, Management Analyst, (530) 661-5903, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:
Designating the East Street Underground Utility District (UUD) has no immediate fiscal impact to the City. The City's PG&E work credit allocation is expected to cover most of the project costs once construction begins in the next 5–10 years.
Background:
The City of Woodland has historically received an annual allocation of work credits from PG&E's Rule 20 program to be used on underground overhead utility lines, and has a current balance of 2,068,161. Because the City has not designated a new UUD since 2006, the City is considered to be "inactive."
PG&E has begun to sunset the Rule 20 program and starting December 8th, 2024, they will begin actively reallocating unused credits from inactive communities. To become an active community and use our work credit balance, the city must pass a resolution designating a UUD that complies with the guidelines set forth by the CPUC prior to the reallocation date.
Staff met with the City Council Infrastructure Subcommittee on September 19th, 2024, and received their support for the proposed underground utility district. Staff additionally met with the Undergrounding Committee on October 9th, 2024, who voted to recommend the designation to City Council. PG&E and AT&T abstained from voting during the Undergrounding Committee at this time because various design requirements have not been finalized. We anticipate full cooperation from both utilities as we design the project and enter the construction phase.
In accordance with the City's policies for establishing a UUD, a public notice (Exhibit 2) was published in the Daily Democrat on October 4th, 2024 (Affidavit, Exhibit 3), inviting comments regarding the project. Staff also sent the same public notice to all affected property owners in the proposed UUD via first-class mail on October 4th, 2024. This was a preliminary notice specifically for the designation of the UUD, and subsequent mailings will be sent as the project progresses through the construction phase.
Discussion:
After initial review by PG&E, their staff questioned the inclusion of Armfield Avenue in the UUD as that road section may not meet the qualifications for a Rule 20 project. During the Undergrounding Committee meeting, staff provided additional context for the inclusion of Armfield Avenue as part of a larger Planning Study that was recently completed by the Community Development Department. With the understanding that new development is expected to be happening, PG&E tentatively approved
the boundary, pending secondary review from their staff.
Given that PG&E's timeline for undergrounding is 5–10 years out, City staff is collaborating with Yolo County to transfer their work credit balance of $1,925,129 to the City. This transfer will help cover any inflationary expenses that may arise between the design and construction of the project. PG&E has reported an unprecedented increase in the cost of underground utilities over the past few years and is uncertain about future cost trends. Even with the transfer from Yolo County, it's possible that the City's work credit balance will be insufficient to cover the entire project cost. The City may need to prioritize undergrounding a specific section of the district map in order to stay within budget.
Additionally, there may be other non-reimbursable costs that the City will need to cover.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive the staff report; 2) Conduct a public hearing; and 3) Adopt Resolution No.____ designating the East St. Underground Utility District.

ITEM #: I.9
SUBJECT: Perfect Union - Woodland, LLC Retail Cannabis
Conditional Use Permit
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive the staff report; 2) Conduct a public hearing; 3) Find that the project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Class 1 and Class 32 categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and find that the exemptions reflect the independent judgment of the City as lead agency under CEQA; 4) Adopt Resolution No. _____ approving a Conditional Use Permit for a storefront retail cannabis dispensary at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101 in the City’s Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex Overlay zone conditioned upon approval of the appropriate Cannabis Business Permit and the recommended conditions of approval; and 5) Adopt Resolution No. _____approving an Operating Agreement between Perfect Union - Woodland, LLC and the City of Woodland for a cannabis retail business and Cannabis Business Permit located in the City of Woodland.
Staff Contact:
Anna Canales, Assistant Planner, [email protected] Fiscal Impact:
Application Processing Costs. The project applicant covers all costs associated with processing the subject Conditional Use Permit application and related Operating Agreement through an Advanced Funding Agreement. Similarly, the selection process for all applicants was covered through individual funding agreements.
The City collects two types of revenue associated with cannabis businesses outside the specific Conditional Use Permit application processing costs noted above. Those include Permit fees and Cannabis Tax.
Permit Revenue. When a new business applies for a Cannabis Business Permit, contingent in this case on approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Operating Agreement, the City will collect $50,056 to allow for staff to review and process the application. This includes site visits by both Community Development and Police staff. Thereafter, businesses are responsible for requesting a renewal of the permit on an annual basis and subject to a renewal fee of $21,222. The permit renewal fee pays for program oversight, business plan review by the Community Development Department, Police site visits and Police compliance, accounting and an annual financial audit. The City does not make revenue above the cost of service on these fees and is legally only allowed to charge the City’s cost of doing business. New Cannabis Business Permit and renewal fees adjust annually based on CPI.
Cannabis Tax. In November 2022, Woodland voters approved a local tax on cannabis businesses that would help to fund general city services. Retail cannabis businesses are subject to a 10 percent tax based on gross receipts. It is difficult to estimate the future potential cannabis tax revenue that may be realized from cannabis retail sales as it will depend upon the success of the business. At minimum, assuming a similar realized revenue generation as existing commercial cannabis manufacturing, distribution and testing businesses, it is estimated that the city will see additional annual revenue from the four retail cannabis businesses of $250,000, but likely much greater given the higher volume of taxable sales from retail uses. To date, the City has collected $1.1 Million in tax
(formerly “community benefit”) revenue from existing commercial cannabis businesses.
Report in Brief:
Commercial Cannabis Business, Perfect Union - Woodland, LLC (“Perfect Union”) (PLNG 24-00030), has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a storefront retail cannabis dispensary at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101 in the City’s Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex Overlay; Assessor’s Parcel Number 027-310-058. This application follows a recent zoning code update, effective June 7, 2022, which allows retail cannabis land use in certain zones and allows the city to consider up to four conditional use permits for this land use citywide.
The process for considering retail cannabis operators began with a competitive preliminary review on February 27, 2023, where four of a total of 12 applicants were selected to advance to the Conditional Use Permit application stage. Perfect Union was selected as one of these four applicants.
Perfect Union’s project proposal entails the use of a project site located at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101 and has undergone a comprehensive review by City departments, including the City Planning Division, Engineering Division, Public Works Department, Fire Department, Building Division, and the City Police Department. The applicant's location and proposed operation are consistent with applicable zoning and development standards, and a preliminary Security Plan has been submitted and reviewed by the Woodland Police Department and a final plan shall be approved prior to operation.
As part of the review process, an Operating Agreement (Attachment 3) has been negotiated between the City and the applicant. This agreement will be reviewed by the City Council and will incorporate the commitments outlined in the Community Benefit Plan and Social Policy and Local Enterprise Plan. These documents are attached to the operating agreement for reference as part of permitting and annual reporting.
In conformance with Woodland Municipal Code (WMC) Section 17.84.120, a highly visible posting measuring 4 feet by 8 feet has been displayed on the project site, notices were sent to property owners and tenants within a 600-foot radius of the site, and a notice of the meeting was published in the local newspaper twelve days before the City Council meeting date.
The purpose of this hearing is for City Council to review and make a determination on the Conditional Use Permit and the corresponding Operating Agreement.
Upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit and prior to operating, the applicant will be required to obtain a City Cannabis Business Permit and corresponding City Building Permits for tenant improvements necessary for the proposed operation.
Background:
On December 5, 2017, the City Council approved Ordinance 1629, adding Article 21.6 (now Section
17.84.120) to Chapter 25 (now Chapter 17) of the Municipal Code, which regulates the zoning of commercial cannabis. At the same time, the council approved Ordinance 1630, adding Chapter 13A (now Chapter 5.28) to the Municipal Code, establishing regulations for commercial cannabis business permits. These regulations allowed for up to six conditional use permits for manufacturing, distribution, and testing cannabis operations within Industrial or Industrial/Light Industrial Flex Overlay zones as defined in the General Plan.
On June 7, 2022, the City Council amended Chapter 17.110 (now Section 17.84.120) through Ordinance 1685 and Chapter 5.28 through Ordinance 1686, updating the regulations for cannabis retail businesses, which now authorizes City Council to consider up to four retail cannabis conditional
use permits, allowing the sale of cannabis at authorized storefront retail cannabis dispensary locations, with the option for delivery from these locations. These four permits may be issued in designated commercial and corridor mixed-use zones.
On February 27, 2023, the City issued a request for applications, inviting interested parties to participate in the selection process for a Preliminary Cannabis Business Permit to authorize applicants to apply for a Retail Cannabis Conditional Use Permit and enter into Operating Agreement negotiations to establish a commercial cannabis business. Applications were to be submitted in person by 3:00 pm on April 5, 2023. The City received a total of 12 proposals.
As part of the preliminary process, which involved three phases of review, applicants were required to submit detailed plans for the safety, security, and operational characteristics of the proposed storefront retail cannabis dispensary use, including the following:
• Business Plan
• Odor Control Plan
• Tax Compliance
• Insurance
• Community Benefit Plan
• Social Policy and Local Enterprise Plan
• Security Plan
• Neighborhood Compatibility and Community Relations Plan A Proposal Review Committee was formed, consisting of staff members from the Police, Finance, and Community Development Departments, as well as a representative from HdL (consultants retained by the City for their subject matter expertise) to conduct a competitive selection process. As required by the City of Woodland Municipal Code, the Committee gave particular consideration to each proposal's capacity, capitalization, security measures, and history, as well as the community benefits offered by the proposed commercial cannabis business. After an initial review, the Committee met on July 17-18, 2023 to interview the twelve applicants for the Preliminary Cannabis Business Permit. Following the interviews, the city invited the top four ranked applicants to the fourth phase of the review process, which entails the negotiation of an Operating Agreement and application for the Conditional Use Permit. As the City Council is aware, Woodland Responsible and Compliant Retail, LLC dba Embarc Woodland filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint for Injunctive Relief challenging the review process for the Preliminary Cannabis Business Permits. That litigation is currently pending, but the City is moving forward with the review of the Conditional Use Permits and Operating Agreements with the top four ranked applicants in the meantime.
Planning Commission Recommendation. At its September 19, 2024, meeting, the City Planning Commission passed the following resolution evaluating the project proposal for compliance with zoning standards and land use requirements:
Planning Commission Resolution PC 24-04 (Attachment 9) (Perfect Union Woodland – PLNG 24- 00030) by a unanimous vote (5-0-2) recommending City Council approve a Conditional Use Permit and Operating Agreement for a retail cannabis land use located at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101 in the city’s Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex Overlay zone.
Public comments were provided to the Planning Commission for the item and have been attached (Attachment 10).
Project Proposal
On June 10, 2024, Perfect Union applied for a Retail Cannabis Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is requesting approval from the City Council for a Conditional Use Permit and Operating Agreement which will allow Perfect Union to occupy an approximately 2,331 square foot tenant space in an existing building at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101, as a storefront retail cannabis dispensary (Attachments 4 and 6, Project Application and Site Plan). Under the terms and conditions of approval, Perfect Union will be required to obtain a Cannabis Business Permit for a Storefront Retail Cannabis Dispensary, (Ordinance 1685 and 1686), and appropriate State Licensing (Type 10 – Storefront Retailer). A Type 10 license allows for a storefront retailer to have a physical location where cannabis goods are sold. Storefront retailers can also deliver cannabis goods.
Context Map
The project estimates a total of 20 employees and Perfect Union – Woodland, LLC intends to hire all employees directly from the City of Woodland (i.e. “local hire”). The proposed operating hours are Monday – Sunday, from 9 am to 9 pm.
Project Site Description
Perfect Union's project site covers approximately 2.76 acres and includes a single multi-tenant building located at the northwest corner of the parcel. This building and the subject parcel are part of a larger commercial shopping center with multiple buildings. The subject building at 1810 E. Main Street is an existing one-story multi-tenant building (Attachment 6, Site Plan). Neighboring businesses include Fusion Boba & Snacks, InStyle Nails, AT&T, West Coast Barbers, Ivan’s Auto Detailing and Supplies, A1 Auto Repair & Detail Center, Burger King, DaVita Yolo Dialysis, Home Depot, Game Stop, Goodwill, CPR Cell Phone Repair, Treasure Dragon, Tacos Jalisquilo, and Applebee’s. The property is bordered by commercial land uses on the east, west, and south, with East Main Street forming the northern boundary. The applicant is proposing to occupy Suite 101 which is 2,331 square feet in size and is the tenant space located at the northeast corner of the building.
Interior “tenant improvements” will be made to the existing Suite 101; no new construction is proposed.
The property is zoned for Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex land uses. The proposed use is permitted in this zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Operating Agreement by the City Council as the final acting body.

Discussion:
Applicable Laws, Codes & Ordinances
This project is subject to several laws, codes, and ordinances as described below:
• The City of Woodland General Plan
• The City of Woodland Zoning Ordinance
• City of Woodland Cannabis Business Permit Requirements • California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
• Regulations of the California Department of Cannabis Control 2035 General Plan Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with various policies and actions in the General Plan; including Land Use Policy 2.A.6 (Infill Development); Policy 2.D.I (Jobs/Housing Relationship); and Policy
4.C.16 (Safety and Security).
Specifically, the project is consistent with General Plan goals and policies which encourage Woodland residents and visitors to support retail establishments that are located in the City of Woodland (Policy 4.C.8). Currently, Woodland residents and visitors do not have the opportunity to
purchase cannabis products locally and instead rely on delivery services from neighboring counties and cities. Establishing storefront retailers in Woodland will gain the City some share in this market through the generation of sales tax.
As previously mentioned in this report, applicants for a retail commercial cannabis conditional use permit and operating agreement were required to prepare and provide a Security Plan for proposed sites and facilities which support the deterrence of crime through site planning and design, consistent with Policy 4.C.16 (Safety and Security) and Policy 2.E.7(Public Safety and Community Design). This plan was reviewed by the City of Woodland Police Department and shall meet State requirements.
The proposed use is located on a parcel designated for commercial land use and will operate out of an existing commercial building (Policy 2.J.I – Enhanced Design Character of Existing Centers).
Zoning Consistency
The project site is zoned Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex. The City Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex zone is applied to areas near entry access nodes to the community and supports regional commercial uses and light industrial uses.
Pursuant to City of Woodland Municipal Code 17.36.020, Table 17.36.020-1, a Cannabis Retail use may be established in the Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex zone subject to use permit approval.
Development Standards
The proposed storefront retail cannabis dispensary use would be established in an existing multitenant commercial building previously occupied by commercial uses. Tenant improvements will be made to the existing building to meet the operational requirements of the proposed use, including those outlined in the project's security plan; no new construction is proposed onsite.
The project is consistent with land use, lot coverage, landscaping, building type, building height, and setback requirements for the Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex zone. Vehicle access to the site is provided from an existing driveway from East Main Street. At the time of tenant improvements, staff will conduct a staff-level architectural review consistent with existing practice for minor improvements to existing buildings.
Parking
The number of required off-street parking spaces for the proposed storefront retail cannabis dispensary use is consistent with the parking requirements for retail land use per City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.68.
The parking lot is fully paved and striped, providing adequate parking, pedestrian pathways and ADA ramps leading from the provided ADA parking spaces. No modifications to the parking lot will be needed at this time. Two parking spots in front of the proposed location will be reserved for electric vehicle parking.
Zoning Verification
A zoning verification was conducted as part of the associated preliminary cannabis business permit to verify compliance with the location limitations for commercial cannabis land uses established in the City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.84.120, which is also consistent with State requirements.
At the time of staff’s analysis of the location proposed for the storefront retail cannabis dispensary use, no known sensitive uses were identified within the minimum buffer distance of 600 feet from any
property containing a school providing instruction in any grades Kindergarten through twelve (12), a day care center or a youth center, and is not within 600 feet of a public park. There were no more than two retail cannabis dispensaries within 1,000 feet of the project site. The proposed site would be more than 500 feet away from any other storefront retail cannabis dispensary use.
Conditional Use Permit Review
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) affords broad public review and evaluation of those uses which require special consideration to ensure proper integration into the community; mitigation of any potentially adverse impacts; and making the required findings to permit the use. In considering an application for a conditional use, due regard shall be given to the nature and condition of the proposed or existing use and all adjacent uses and structures and may impose such requirements and condition with respect to location, construction, maintenance, and operation, as may be deemed necessary for the protection of adjacent properties and public interest. Conditional Use Permit analysis typically includes consideration of proposed use; hours of operation; consistency with zoning standards such as parking; compatibility with existing uses and structures in the surrounding area; and other criteria as may be deemed appropriate.
A CUP runs with the land unless the CUP is revoked. Once approved, should ownership of the land or the business change, the CUP would remain valid at the location approved.
Following a public hearing, City Council may approve a use permit application, with or without conditions, if all the following findings can be made:
Use Permit Finding
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed storefront retailer use would be compatible with the underlying General Plan designation and zoning district and operate similarly to other existing retail businesses subject to usespecific standards. The proposed project is consistent with various policies and actions in the General Plan; including Land Use Policy 2.A.6 (Infill Development); Policy 2.D.I (Jobs/Housing Relationship); and Policy 4.C.16 (Safety and Security).
Specifically, the project would be consistent with General Plan goals and policies which encourage Woodland residents and visitors to support retail establishments that are located in the City of Woodland (Policy 4.C.8). The preparation and provision of a security plan supports the deterrence of crime through site planning and design, consistent with Policy 4.C.16 (Safety and Security) and Policy 2.E.7(Public Safety and Community Design).
The proposed use would be located on a parcel designated for commercial land use and would operate out of an existing commercial building (Policy 2.J.I – Enhanced Design Character of Existing Centers).
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code, and the purposes of the applicable zone.
The proposed use would be located on a commercial site designated Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex on the 2035 General Plan land use diagram and is zoned Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex. Pursuant to City of Woodland Municipal Code 17.36.020, Table 17.36.020-1, a Cannabis Retail use may be established in the Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex zone subject to use permit approval.
The proposed project site is not within a 600-foot radius of a school providing K-12 instruction, a daycare center, a youth center, or a public park.
The proposed retail storefront cannabis dispensary will not be located within 500 feet of another retail storefront cannabis dispensary.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, intensity of the use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.
The operations of Perfect Union are based in retail and will not impact any other commercial retail business in the area. The project site is located within a commercial shopping center with easy freeway ingress and egress.
Perfect Union proposes no substantial changes to the exterior of the facility, ensuring it remains consistent with the rest of the shopping center. Main building entries will be emphasized through building articulation and form to be easily identifiable and visible from the street and parking areas.
The building has ADA access and is pedestrian oriented, including awnings, trashcans, and accent lighting that complement the main building’s architectural features. Perfect Union will install a bicycle rack outside the facility entrance.
The parking lot is fully paved and striped, providing adequate parking, pedestrian pathways and ADA ramps leading from the provided ADA parking spaces. No modifications to the parking lot will be needed at this time. Two parking spots in front of the proposed location will be reserved for electric vehicle parking.
Perfect Union will ensure the landscaping proximate to their tenant space is maintained and free of litter or debris. No modifications are proposed to the project site’s landscaping, which is currently maintained by the property owner and includes mature trees within the parking lot and a number of small to medium shrubs along the exterior of the existing commercial businesses.
The interior of the facility will be remodeled to model Perfect Union stores and to meet state and local requirements for the proposed operation. Perfect Union will install a secured lobby at the main front entrance to verify IDs before allowing access into the facility. This will include the installation of two walls and an electronic access door, creating a secured vestibule. Additional walls will be constructed to provide a secured storage area and a manager’s office. Perfect Union will also create a secured vendor intake room at the facility's back entrance. In addition to manual commercial-grade locks, electronic access doors will be installed on all doors leading to rooms with cannabis, cannabis products, or cash. Security cameras, motion sensors, panic buttons, analytical cameras, and glass break sensors will be installed throughout the facility. Any necessary upgrades to the HVAC system will be made to ensure there is no emittance of odor from the building. A fire alarm panel will be installed inside the facility. Handheld extinguishers will be mounted in every room and serviced annually.
4. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, including transportation and service facilities.
The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding commercial area. The storefront retailer would be located within an existing commercial building similar in design, size and operating characteristics as other single-story retail and restaurant buildings along East Main Street.
No new construction is proposed onsite. The building architecture and site improvements including
lighting, landscaping, parking have previously been found consistent with land use, lot coverage, building type, building height, and setback requirements for the Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex district.
5. Granting the Conditional Use Permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
The nearest school, Ramon S. Tafoya Elementary, is 1,880 feet from the proposed site. Perfect Union - Woodland, LLC’s operations will not affect any children or community members visiting Klenhard Park as it is located over 2,000 feet from the proposed facility. The suite is attached to a building with commercial retail use businesses operating. Perfect Union is not requesting to modify the exterior of the premises as the exterior already ensures that it blends seamlessly with the surrounding area.
Perfect Union - Woodland, LLC’s security guards will monitor the site and are required to ensure there is no loitering in the area.
Perfect Union will queue customers in a manner that will not affect any surrounding businesses during busy times and will control the ingress and egress of guest traffic inside the facility.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA.
Staff has determined that a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Existing Facilities) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines and a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Infill Development) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines is the appropriate level of CEQA review for this document.
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies’ determination. Class 32 exemption consists of projects characterized as in-fill development within urbanized areas. The class consists of environmentally benign in-fill projects located on sites that are less than 5 acres and consistent with local general plan and zoning requirements. The project will not have any biological, air, water, traffic, or noise impacts. The proposed use would occupy approximately 2,331 square feet of space within an existing building that has previously been occupied by commercial uses similar to the proposed project.
In addition to the CUP findings outlined above, the Cannabis Ordinance 1685 (Municipal Code
17.84.120): provides other specific factors that shall be considered by the City Council including the following:
1. The type of proposed use by the applicant.
The proposed use would be located on a commercial site designated Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex on the 2035 General Plan land use diagram and is zoned Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex. Pursuant to City of Woodland Municipal Code 17.36.020, Table 17.36.020-1, a Cannabis Retail use may be established in the Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex zone subject to use permit approval.
2. Whether the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community.
The project site is a commercial area comprised of a variety of commercial retail and service uses along East Main Street, with residential uses present further west and south of Pioneer Avenue. The
zoning verification conducted as part of the associated preliminary request for proposals process verified compliance with the location limitations for storefront retailers established in WMC Section
17.84.120. At the time of staff’s analysis of the location proposed for the storefront retail cannabis dispensary use, no known sensitive uses were identified within the minimum buffer distance of 600 feet from any property containing a school providing instruction in any grades Kindergarten through twelve (12), a day care center or a youth center, and is not within 600 feet of a public park.
Furthermore, operation of the proposed storefront retailer in accordance with the standards established in WMC Section 5.28 as well as the applicant’s Safety and Neighborhood Compatibility Plans will ensure that a storefront retailer use at this location would not have detrimental effects on the surrounding neighborhood.
3. Whether the use would enhance the economic viability of the area in which it is proposed to be located, including adjacent and surrounding properties.
The proposed facility will provide a new source of employment and revenue to the City while remaining under close regulation and oversight by both the City and State.
At the time of approval of a Cannabis Business Permit, an application will be required to Prepare and submit a Community Benefit Plan and Social Policy and Local Enterprise Plan describing the applicant’s plans for local outreach and hiring of residents of the City of Woodland for open positions and/or compensation for continuing education, and any other actions proposed by the applicant that are intended to benefit the local workforce and/or applicant’s local employees.
4. Whether the applicant has adequately addressed potential community benefits of the use to offset potential adverse impacts.
Perfect Union is committed to contributing 2% of their annual business gross receipts per year to active 501(c)(3) non-profits active in the City of Woodland and to hiring all employees directly from the City of Woodland, creating twenty (20) jobs once operations are fully established. A detailed summary of their community benefit and local enterprise plan is provided above in the background section of this report and as Exhibits B and C to the Operating Agreement (Attachment 3).
5. The extent of support or opposition to the proposed use and location from members of the community, and the applicant’s plans to ensure strong community relations and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
Prior to submittal of the initial application, Perfect Union met with the businesses immediately surrounding our proposed site and discussed planned operations, and public notice of the proposed retail cannabis use was provided to owners and tenants within a 600-foot radius of the project site, the site was posted with a highly visible notice, of a minimum four-foot by eight foot in size mounted on a freestanding sign or posted on the building frontage, 10 days before the scheduled public hearing date, and a Legal notice was published in the Woodland Daily Democrat at least ten days before the public hearing date.
In 2022 and 2023, Perfect Union hosted National Night Out for the Plaza and any community members who did not have an organized event in their neighborhood.
Perfect Union has committed to supporting and hosting a number of local community events which are outlined in detail in the Community Benefit Plan.
Perfect Union will plan to have a Director of Community Relations who will be responsible for
outreach and communication for the Woodland community and will be the liaison between Perfect Union and the surrounding community.
Public comment received prior to the publication of this report is provided as Attachment 10.
6. The number of cannabis uses located or proposed to be located within 1,000 feet of the proposed location.
There are no cannabis uses located or proposed to be located within 1,000 feet of the proposed location at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101.
7. The extent to which the proposed use would cause a further overconcentration of that particular type of use in the area.
At this time, there is no overconcentration of cannabis uses.
8. The background and history of the applicant, including the experience and qualifications of the applicant and those persons involved in the management, oversight, and day-to-day operations of the proposed use, the professional training and certifications of the applicant and/or persons involved in the management, oversight and day to day operations of the proposed use, and the nature and extent of the problems on any premises where the applicant has operated a cannabis business in the past.
Perfect Union has an experienced team and a well-considered and documented business plan that appears to be potentially successful with an identified supply line. A detailed summary of experience and qualifications is provided in Attachment 5.

Cannabis Business Permit Review – Municipal Code Section 5.28 The Cannabis Business Permit provides for the review of operational features for each cannabis business entity and is required in addition to a business license. A Cannabis Business Permit is required before initial operation and requires annual review. Before issuance of the Cannabis Business Permit, fees must be paid, and a Conditional Use Permit and final Operating Agreement authorized. The Cannabis Business Permit is approved by the Community Development Director.
Operating details including a Security Plan, Lighting Plan, Community Benefit Plan, Social Responsibility, and Local Enterprise Plan, as well as an Operating Agreement and Indemnification statement, are required as part of the Cannabis Business Permit review. Some of these items have been provided as part of the Conditional Use Permit review and are included as attachments.
Revocation of Permit
In the event of a violation of the terms and conditions of a retail cannabis business permit, the City may take various enforcement actions as provided under City Code Section 5.28.090 - Violations.
These actions may include fines, penalties, suspension, or revocation of the permit.
Environmental Assessment Status
Staff has determined that a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Existing Facilities) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines and a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Infill Development) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines is the appropriate level of CEQA review for this document.
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies’ determination. Class 32 exemption consists of projects characterized as in-fill development within urbanized areas. The class consists of environmentally benign in-fill projects located on sites that are less than 5 acres and consistent with local general plan and zoning requirements. The project will not have any biological, air, water, traffic, or noise impacts. The proposed use would occupy approximately 2,331 square feet of space within an existing building that has previously been occupied by commercial uses similar to the proposed project.
Public Notification
Public notice advertising for the public hearing on this project was prepared by the Community Development Department in accordance with notification procedures set forth in the City of Woodland’s Municipal Code and State Planning Law. Two methods of public notice were used:
• Legal notice was published in the Woodland Daily Democrat on October 3, 2024, ten days prior to the public hearing.

Reviewing Agency Comments
The project has been circulated to other city divisions and departments for review as well as to agencies outside the City of Woodland who have an interest in the application, including Waste Management and Yolo County. All reviewing agency comments have been integrated into the conditions of approval.
Conclusion:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The City of Woodland City Council hereby adopts the above recitals as true and correct findings of the City of Woodland City Council and incorporates them into this Resolution by this reference.
SECTION 2. Findings. In support of issuing a conditional use permit for the proposed cannabis retailer use to be located at 1810 E. Main Street, Ste. 101, as set forth in Planning Application No. PLNG 24-00030, the City of Woodland City Council hereby makes the following
Resolution No. ___
additional findings, pursuant to the requirements of Woodland Municipal Code (“WMC”) Section
17.100.100(H) and 17.84.120(c)(3):
1) The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, in that the use is conditionally permitted consistent with zoning and general plan requirements, and appropriate conditions to address potential concerns and impacts have been made part of the approval. 2) The site is physically suitable for the type, density, intensity of the use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints. 3) The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity including transportation and service facilities.
4) Granting the Conditional Use Permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. 5) The proposed project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA sections 15301 and 15303 as the proposal involves operation, repair, maintenance, leasing and licensing of existing facilities, and involves the conversion of a small structure not exceeding 2,500 square feet where retail cannabis dispensing is a conditionally permitted use. 6) The proposed use at the Site is subject to additional findings and considerations set forth in WMC section 17.84.120(3). The City of Woodland City Council has considered all relevant evidence regarding the Site and the Applicant’s proposed use, and finds that Applicant’s proposed cannabis retailer use at the Site satisfies those considerations, as follows:
a) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(3)(a), the City of Woodland City Council has considered the type of proposed use by the Applicant. The proposed cannabis retailer will provide sales of cannabis and cannabis products. The City of Woodland City Council finds that these goods and services will provide unique, currently unavailable, and varied goods and services to the community by the Applicant’s use at the proposed location. b) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(3)(b), the City of Woodland City Council has considered all evidence and testimony relevant to the Applicant’s proposed use, and determines that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community. The use is located in the Regional Commercial with Light Industrial Flex Overlay and not adjacent to sensitive uses; and therefore will not result in negative impacts on existing uses in the area. The project is subject to approval of a conditional use permit, including conditions of approval incorporated into the project, and subject to local and state regulatory standards, licenses and permits, to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community. Applicant’s failure to abide by those conditions of approval may result in permit revocation. c) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(c), the City of Woodland City Council finds that the proposed use would enhance the economic viability of the area in which it is proposed
Resolution No. ___
to be located because it will provide new goods and services not currently available to the surrounding area and will bring retail activity to the proposed location. d) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(d), the City of Woodland City Council finds that the Applicant has adequately addressed the potential community benefits of the use to offset potential adverse impacts. The City of Woodland City Council has determined that these community benefits adequately offset any potential adverse impacts of the proposed use. e) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(e), the City of Woodland City Council has considered all evidence and testimony pertaining to Applicant’s proposed use, including the extent of support or opposition to the proposed use and location from members of the community. No opposition to the proposed use or location was expressed by the community or the surrounding neighborhood.
f) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(f), the City of Woodland City Council further finds that, based on other proposed locations considered concurrently with the Site, there will be no more than two (2) cannabis retailers located within a one thousand (1,000) radius of the Site at the time of this Resolution, except otherwise approved by City Council, which protects against an overconcentration of the type of proposed use and further protects the public health and safety.
g) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(g), and consistent with the above findings, the City of Woodland City Council further finds that the proposed use would not lead to a further overconcentration of that particular type of premises in the area. h) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(h), the City of Woodland City Council has considered the Applicant’s application, including the relevant background and history of the Applicant. Based on the information provided, the City of Woodland City Council has determined that there are no prior problems or complaints pertaining to Applicant’s operation of other businesses or cannabis operations on premises giving rise to public health, safety, and welfare concerns. The applicant has additionally operated retail cannabis businesses in other jurisdictions with no known problems or complaints. i) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(i), the City of Woodland City Council is not aware of a history or high prevalence of police or crime-related problems in the area of the Site giving rise to specific safety concerns.
j) Pursuant to WMC section 17.84.120(C)(3)(j), the City of Woodland City Council finds that the proposed use would enhance recreational or entertainment opportunities in the area.
In light of the above findings and considerations regarding the proposed use and location, the City of Woodland City Council therefore finds that the conditional use conforms to the requirements and intent of WMC Chapter 17.84.120 regarding commercial cannabis uses and the City’s General Plan, and that any conditions and requirements stipulated in Applicant’s conditional use permit have been or will be met, and that the use will not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the public welfare of the community.

16. Neighborhood Compatibility and Community Relations Plan This information has been included in the Preliminary Cannabis Business Permit Application.
Please see Section E, page 94.
Neighborhood Compatibility and Community Relations Plan Summary Director of Community Relations & Local Owner
Mark Pemberton, Perfect Union’s Director of Community Relations, will be responsible for outreach and communication with the surrounding community. His email, phone number, and address will be provided to the City Manager or designee, the Woodland Police and Fire Department, and any surrounding businesses and neighbors within 1,000 feet of the facility. This inclusive approach underscores Perfect Union’s commitment to engaging with the entire community.
Open House – National Night Out
Perfect Union has held two open house events to address the community and neighbors’ concerns on National Night Out. Surrounding businesses, neighbors, Woodland PD, and Woodland FD, have attended both open houses. The community was welcoming to our business and we are honored at the opportunity to serve them.
Good Neighbor Commitment
Perfect Union is committed to being a good neighbor, to ensure we uphold our standards, we have a Good Neighbor Commitment Policy.
o Restricting membership to legally qualified customers o Providing adequate security to protect customers and the neighborhood o Maintaining a clean facility in good repair
o Education members about rules and appropriate behavior in and around the facility o Preventing nuisance activity like loitering or litter o Excluding customers who break the rules or divert medication for non-medical use o Keeping lines of communication open with neighbors, officials, and law enforcement o Responding to community concerns
Good Neighbor Policy
Perfect Union has a stringent Good Neighbor Policy that all customers and staff are expected to adhere to. This includes being mindful of parking, reducing noise in the parking lot, and refraining from illegal parking. If a guest or employee feels unsafe, they can request a security escort. We expect everyone to be respectful and report any suspicious activity to security. Failure to comply with this policy may result in a guest being removed from the approved customer list. All employees must also abide by this policy; failure to abide may result in formal disciplinary action.
Mitigation Plan for Noise, Light, Odor, and Traffic
Noise
The interior design will be constructed to baffle the noise from the facility’s exterior. To prevent noise from the facility from accidentally bleeding out into the exterior of the premises, Perfect Union will utilize security staff to monitor the exterior noise levels.
Light
The interior of the facility is lit with a warm, soft glow that makes products readily discernable.
The exterior lighting is designed to keep guests and employees safe at all times while not imposing on our neighbors with light pollution. This is implemented using pedestrian-friendly techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) features to direct light away from neighbors but directly onto the premises, pedestrian walkways, and parking areas.
Odor
Further detailed in the Odor Control Plan, Perfect Union has proven its odor control techniques successful throughout its existing retail dispensaries. Perfect Union uses carbon filters and a highvelocity HVAC system to mitigate odor. To prevent odor complaints, security staff will walk the premises throughout the day to monitor for any odor from the facility. They will also ensure no customers are consuming products on-site, smoking cannabis or cigarettes, or loitering within 50 feet of the facility. If a guest or an individual is found to be violating this policy, security will ask them to leave the premises. Guests who consume on-site will be banned from revisiting the store.
Odor Detection Form
This form is available for the community to submit if they have any concerns regarding the odor they believe is coming from Perfect Union. Mark Pemberton, along with Angelica Sanchez, will oversee the ODF forms received by the community. Management will be required to walk the site premises to see if they smell the odor; further steps include changing the carbon filters, having a certified contractor inspect the HVAC system for any problems, making repairs if needed, and following up with the original complainant to inform them of the source of the odor and what steps were taken to resolve it.
Vehicle and Pedestrian Traffic
The proposed location has adequate ingress and egress access for vehicles and sufficient parking to meet the needs of our customers. Increased traffic from the suite’s prior use as a convenience store is not expected. If that should change, security staff will be deployed to direct the flow of vehicles into and from the parking lot safely and efficiently. Foot traffic is also not expected to increase from the prior use. If foot traffic is heavy, security will create a queue for customers that does not block the pedestrian walkways and allows access for all individuals to use walkways and the parking lot.
Property Maintenance
Perfect Union will ensure the surrounding property is well-maintained, neat, clean, and free from litter or graffiti always. Our staff will conduct visual inspections of our property daily, and we will address any problems with cleanliness or property maintenance as quickly as possible. Property management maintains the parking lot, sidewalks, and vegetation.
Security Culture
Safety for customers and the community is a top priority at our cannabis businesses. Well-run cannabis businesses adopt a security culture to ensure safety. Security culture refers to a set of practices and strategies that work together to maintain community standards.
Security culture may involve the following elements:
• Employing professional, trained security personnel
• Staying alert to prevent any issues that may arise
• Mitigating traffic through the parking lot
• Education customers on Perfect Union’s Good Neighbor Policy • Implementing policies to prevent diversion
• Restricting access to the facility to authorized personnel • Using security technology and equipment to monitor and secure the facility • Maintaining communication with local law enforcement
• Conducting yearly safety and security training with the local police and fire department • Educating staff and members of their rights and responsibilities under the law Sensitive Uses
Perfect Union has ensured our proposed cannabis business is not located within any State or locally designated buffer zones. In compliance with WMC §17.110.040(C) and the Department of Cannabis Control, Perfect Union’s facility will not be within 600 feet of any school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 through 12, a commercial daycare center, youth center, or public park.
Smoking and Alcohol
In compliance with WMC §§5.28.320 – 5.28.330, 5.28.360(C), no person will smoke, ingest, or otherwise consume cannabis in any form within 50 feet of the premises of a cannabis business, and no person will possess, consume, or store any alcoholic beverage on the premises of a cannabis business. Security will enforce this policy by monitoring the facility’s premises for anyone in violation. Employees will alert security if they are aware of this policy violation.
Cannabis Recommendations
There will not be a physician located on the premises at any time for the purpose of evaluating patients for the issuance of a cannabis recommendation or card where applicable.
Restrooms
Child Resistant Packaging
All product at Perfect Union stores will comply with DCC Regulations surrounding Child Resistant and Tamper Proof Packaging, CCR §17412, and WMC §5.28.360(H). If the packaging does not meet legal requirements, the inventory intake manager will reject the shipment before receiving it in METRC, and the vendor will deliver it back to the originating license. Employees are trained to detect packaging types and utilize the Department of Cannabis Control’s Packaging Checklist when reviewing product quality.
Child Resistant Packaging Types:
● Single Use (Initial CRP) Initially child-resistant, but once opened, it is no longer child resistant. Package must say “This package is not child-resistant after opening.” • Cannabis Flower
• Pre-rolls
• Topicals
• Dab, Shatter, Wax
• Vape Cartridges
● Multiple Use (“Lifetime CRP”) The package maintains its child-resistance throughout the life of the package. It can be opened and closed, but remains child-resistant. • Edibles
• Orally Consumed concentrates (tinctures, capsules)
• Suppositories

11. Odor Control Plan
Where Does Cannabis Odor Come From?
Essential oils are widely used worldwide today for their healing properties, as well as for perfumes, air fresheners, and more. Inside the essential oil are terpenes, which lock in the pungent scent and hold the key to these strong oils. When peeling an orange, that strong citrus smell is released instantaneously due to the terpenes being discharged. The peel had been shielding the terpenes inside the orange, locking in the stout citrus scent. Cannabis goes through a similar terpene process.
Terpenes are located inside the trichome of the flower. The trichome is the outer “hair” of the flower.
This part of the plant is highly delicate; while the trichome acts like the peel of an orange, it is not as resilient as an orange peel. Several steps have been taken to keep the plant from releasing the terpenes. Cannabis and cannabis products are transported, stored, and sold in sealed jars and sealed packaging. Each product is individually packaged and sealed to prevent air from entering or exiting. This ensures the product's quality and safety and reduces odor release in compliance with CCR §15406. Trichomes remain intact in stable environments. By maintaining the facility's temperatures and monitoring the humidity, we can ensure the trichomes protect the terpenes and hold in the cannabis odor.
Transparency is critical to the success of our organization. Our Odor Control Plan and all associated records will be made available to the public for review, and documents can be requested at our facility. All requests for documentation will occur via written request only (email is acceptable). The Odor Control Plan covers the retail storefront facility. All cannabis and cannabis products will be secured within the storage area in a secure fashion. All cannabis areas will have an exhaust air system for odor control. The importance of cannabis odor mitigation is very well understood, and we will make decisions that best prevent the issue of odor in the surrounding areas. If odors are detected outside the facility, this plan will serve as a guideline for corrective action.
Potential Sources of Odor
While all products that are received by Perfect Union come in sealed, tamper-proof packaging and jars, there is the potential that a package and/or jar could have been damaged in transport, leading to an odor being released into the facility. In the event of damaged packing. When shipments are received at Perfect Union, the Inventory Manager must inspect each product to ensure there are no discrepancies in labeling or packing and that each item matches the manifest. The Inventory Specialist would quickly identify the damaged product and reject the shipment from the distributor. Our HVAC and Carbon Air Filtration System will sufficiently handle any odor experienced in such an event.
Perfect Union customers are not allowed to open any packaging or jars for inspection. Additionally, the retail display cases on the floor do not have “smellable” jars, eliminating another potential odor source.
Additionally, Perfect Union’s designated waste containers are sealed at all times, ensuring no odor escapes from products waiting to be picked up from our third-party waste hauler, Easy Waste Management.
Odor Prevention Devices
Perfect Union takes a preventative approach to odor control in our facilities. Perfect Union’s HVAC and air filtration systems are critical factors in mitigating odor from escaping the building and property boundary line. Our building has been designed to keep all air inside the structure, ensuring it has gone through filtration
before exiting the building. Additionally, Perfect Union has enacted company policies to preserve the air quality surrounding our facility with respect to the community and neighborhood.
HVAC System
Perfect Union’s HVAC System is designed to always maintain temperature control and the interior environment of the facility while preventing odors from escaping the building and exceeding the property lines.
The HVAC System will continuously be running during operating hours. During non-working hours the HVAC System will be on a maintenance schedule to maintain the appropriate environmental temperatures for odor control and cannabis quality. By maintaining appropriate environmental temperatures, the HVAC system can control the humidity throughout the building. Humidity (RH) levels will be kept at such a desired level that terpenes (the odor-releasing agent of cannabis) will not be activated, reducing odor pollution and preserving the quality of the cannabis products.
The purpose of the Odor Control Plan is to eliminate the odor of cannabis caused by normal business practices inside the facility, around the exterior of the facility, and in surrounding areas. Perfect Union will work with the City of Woodland to determine if this is the best method of Air Filtration.
All cannabis and cannabis products that are not on the retail sales floor for immediate sale will be held inside the secured storage area at all times with the door shut, allowing no odor to escape. All areas containing cannabis will be provided with an exhaust air system for odor control. The exhaust system will be provided with a carbon filter that will mitigate any odors that may emanate from the cannabis products. Any areas positively pressurized will be treated with activated carbon filtration and high-velocity discharge to dissipate any potential odors immediately. The exhaust discharge from the HVAC system hall is designed with a high-velocity outlet to eject the exhaust up and away from any neighbors or vehicular traffic. The combination of carbon exhaust air filtration and building pressure control represents the current best available technology. This building will also be provided with carbon filters for particulate filtration of supply air into the building.
On-Site Consumption
On-site usage of cannabis products is strictly prohibited, WMC §§5.28.320, 5.28.360(C). It will assist in mitigating odors to the surrounding neighbors. Perfect Union is a smoke, vapor, and aerosol-free place of employment. Smoking, vaping, and aerosolizing is prohibited inside all Perfect Union offices and facilities, including all Perfect Union work areas and break areas. Smoking is permitted only in areas outside of the workplace that are designated as smoking areas, smoking must be at least 50 feet from a doorway/entryway, WMC §§5.28.320, 5.28.360(C). The prohibition against smoking in the workplace includes e-cigarettes.
Odor Monitoring
The manager will assess the on-site and off-site odors daily for the potential release of objectionable odors.
The manager/supervisor on duty will be responsible for assessing and documenting odor impacts daily.
Odor Complaints, Reporting, and Documentation Process
Complaints of odor detection from beyond property boundaries can be made in writing with Perfect Union.
Residents of Woodland may submit complaints through our website at perfect-union.com via email, written letter, or a formal complaint can be made in person on-site by filling out an Odor Detection Form (ODF).
Odor Detection Forms will detail the following information:
• Location of Odor Source
• Date, time, & current weather conditions at the time of the report • Contact information for:
- Reporting party
- Management on duty
- Employees involved in the response
• A detailed account of:
- The findings upon investigation
- Actions taken to remedy the complaint
- Were professional services required?
- Is further action needed?
• A response to the complaint, if applicable
• Perfect Union Managers will follow up with complainants when appropriate
Odor Mitigation
In the event reported off-site cannabis odors are detected by the public and we are notified in writing, the complaint will be logged and investigated in the following manner:
Security will ensure there are no persons in the parking lot or exterior of the property who are consuming cannabis in public. The Security Team will also ensure that the source of odor did not travel from off-site by surveying the perimeter and observing existing wind patterns. If customer on-site cannabis consumption is found to be the cause of the odor source, our trained Security Team will remind the customer of Perfect Union’s Policy against on-site consumption and Woodland Regulations and ask the customer to leave the facility. The customer will be reminded that on-site consumption at Perfect Union will result in the termination of their customer purchasing privileges at Perfect Union dispensaries.
If the cannabis odor comes from Perfect Union due to a malfunction in equipment, the Facility Manager will immediately notify the store's General Manager. The managers will take direct steps to reduce the source of the objectionable odor. If applicable, a Certified Engineer will be retained to review the cause of the odor and make the necessary recommendations and corrective actions. All communication will be documented and retained for seven (7) years in compliance with CCR §15037(a).
Corrective Actions
• Inspect and repair any malfunctioning HVAC Systems
• Inspect and repair any malfunction with the Carbon Air Filtration System • Replace the Carbon Air Filters, if necessary
If repeated odor complaints are verified and it is found that the systems are not malfunctioning by a Certified Engineer, the following steps will be taken.
• A Certified Engineer will inspect the building for potential areas where odor may be escaping from • The engineer will evaluate every aspect of our facility and make recommendations • Facility upgrades will be made based on those recommendations as quickly as possible
Document the event for further operational review. We will maintain records of all odor detection notifications and/or complaints that include the remediation measures employed. The records will be made available to the city and general public upon written request.
Staff Training & System Maintenance
Staff Training
Upon hire, all employees will be trained on how to detect, prevent, and remediate odors outside our facility and all corrective options outlined herein.
Training for Odor Control will include:
• Changing charcoal-activated carbon scrubbers every 6 months or more frequently if needed. • Keeping doors to storage areas closed at all times
• Ensuring all cannabis waste is kept in enclosed bins inside the appropriate storage rooms • Keeping the facility at a proper temperature to promote the preservation of all cannabis and cannabis products
• If odor is detected, notify the General Manager immediately so they can contact a certified engineer if necessary.
System Maintenance
The HVAC System will have regular maintenance inspections occurring as often as recommended by the System’s manufacturer but no less than annually in compliance with CCR §15142(b). During inspections, all maintenance and/or repairs will be made. If there is a repair that cannot be completed at the time of the inspection, an appointment will be made to immediately have the Certified HVAC Specialist return to complete the repair.
The carbon filters will be replaced every six (6) months, as the manufacturer requires. If the manufacturer recommends further maintenance or an increase in filter replacement, Perfect Union will follow their recommendations.

Staff Contact:
Anna Canales, Assistant Planner; [email protected] Fiscal Impact:
Application Processing Costs. The project applicant covers all costs associated with processing the subject Conditional Use Permit application and related Operating Agreement through an Advanced Funding Agreement. Similarly, the selection process for all applicants was covered through individual funding agreements.
The City collects two types of revenue associated with cannabis businesses outside the specific Conditional Use Permit application processing costs noted above. Those include Permit fees and Cannabis Tax.
Permit Revenue. When a new business applies for a Cannabis Business Permit, contingent in this case on approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Operating Agreement, the City will collect $50,056 to allow for staff to review and process the application. This includes site visits by both Community Development and Police staff. Thereafter, businesses are responsible for requesting a renewal of the permit on an annual basis and subject to a renewal fee of $21,222. The permit renewal fee pays for program oversight, business plan review by the Community Development Department, Police site visits and Police compliance, accounting and an annual financial audit. The City does not make revenue above the cost of service on these fees and is legally only allowed to charge the City’s cost of doing business. New Cannabis Business Permit and renewal fees adjust annually based on CPI.
Cannabis Tax. In November 2022, Woodland voters approved a local tax on cannabis businesses that would help to fund general city services. Retail cannabis businesses are subject to a 10 percent tax based on gross receipts. It is difficult to estimate the future potential cannabis tax revenue that may be realized from cannabis retail sales as it will depend upon the success of the business. At minimum, assuming a similar realized revenue generation as existing commercial cannabis manufacturing, distribution and testing businesses, it is estimated that the city will see additional annual revenue from the four retail cannabis businesses of $250,000, but likely much greater given the higher volume of taxable sales from retail uses. To date, the City has collected $1.1 Million in tax
(formerly “community benefit”) revenue from existing commercial cannabis businesses.
Report in Brief:
Commercial Cannabis Business, P.F.F. Consulting Inc., dba Woodland Cannabis Dispensary(“Woodland Cannabis Dispensary”)(PLNG 24-00029), has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a storefront retail cannabis dispensary at 163 Court Street in the City’s Community Commercial Mixed Use zone; Assessor’s Parcel Number 005-562-023. This application follows a recent zoning code update, effective June 7, 2022, which allows retail cannabis land use in certain zones and allows the city to consider up to four conditional use permits for this land use citywide.
The process for considering retail cannabis operators began with a competitive preliminary review on February 27, 2023, where four of a total of 12 applicants were selected to advance to the Conditional Use Permit application stage. Sundial Collective was selected as one of these four applicants.
Woodland Cannabis Dispensary’s project proposal entails the use of a project site located at 163 Court Street and has undergone a comprehensive review by City departments, including the City Planning Division, Engineering Division, Public Works Department, Fire Department, Building Division, and the City Police Department. The applicant's location and proposed operation are consistent with applicable zoning and development standards, and the applicant has prepared a preliminary Security Plan that has been submitted and reviewed by the Woodland Police Department and a final plan shall be approved prior to operation.
As part of the review process, an Operating Agreement (Attachment 3) has been negotiated between the City and the applicant. This agreement will be reviewed by the City Council and will incorporate the commitments outlined in the Community Benefit Plan and Social Policy and Local Enterprise Plan. These documents are attached to the operating agreement for reference as part of permitting and annual reporting.
In conformance with Woodland Municipal Code (WMC) Section 17.84.120, a highly visible posting measuring 4 feet by 8 feet has been displayed on the project site, notices were sent to property owners and tenants within a 600-foot radius of the site, and a notice of the meeting was published in the local newspaper twelve days before the City Council meeting date.
The purpose of this hearing is for City Council to review and make a determination on the Conditional Use Permit and the corresponding Operating Agreement.
Upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit and prior to operating, the applicant will be required to obtain a City Cannabis Business Permit and corresponding City Building Permits for tenant improvements necessary for the proposed operation.
Background:
On December 5, 2017, the City Council approved Ordinance 1629, adding Article 21.6 (now Section
17.84.120) to Chapter 25 (now Chapter 17) of the Municipal Code, which regulates the zoning of commercial cannabis. At the same time, the council approved Ordinance 1630, adding Chapter 13A (now Chapter 5.28) to the Municipal Code, establishing regulations for commercial cannabis business permits. These regulations allowed for up to six conditional use permits for manufacturing, distribution, and testing cannabis operations within Industrial or Industrial/Light Industrial Flex Overlay zones as defined in the General Plan.
On June 7, 2022, the City Council amended Chapter 17.110 (now Section 17.84.120) through Ordinance 1685 and Chapter 5.28 through Ordinance 1686, updating the regulations for cannabis
retail businesses, which now authorizes City Council to consider up to four retail cannabis conditional use permits, allowing the sale of cannabis at authorized storefront retail cannabis dispensary locations, with the option for delivery from these locations. These four permits may be issued in designated commercial and corridor mixed-use zones.
On February 27, 2023, the City issued a request for applications, inviting interested parties to participate in the selection process for a Preliminary Cannabis Business Permit to authorize applicants to apply for a Retail Cannabis Conditional Use Permit and enter into Operating Agreement negotiations to establish a commercial cannabis business. Applications were to be submitted in person by 3:00 pm on April 5, 2023. The City received a total of 12 proposals.
As part of the preliminary process, which involved three phases of review, applicants were required to submit detailed plans for the safety, security, and operational characteristics of the proposed storefront retail cannabis dispensary use, including the following:
• Business Plan
• Odor Control Plan
• Tax Compliance
• Insurance
• Community Benefit Plan
• Social Policy and Local Enterprise Plan
• Security Plan
• Neighborhood Compatibility and Community Relations Plan A Proposal Review Committee was formed, consisting of staff members from the Police, Finance, and Community Development Departments, as well as a representative from HdL (consultants retained by the City for their subject matter expertise) to conduct a competitive selection process. As required by the City of Woodland Municipal Code, the Committee gave particular consideration to each proposal's capacity, capitalization, security measures, and history, as well as the community benefits offered by the proposed commercial cannabis business. After an initial review, the Committee met on July 17-18, 2023 to interview the twelve applicants for the Preliminary Cannabis Business Permit. Following the interviews, the city invited the top four ranked applicants to the fourth phase of the review process which entails the negotiation of an Operating Agreement and application for the Conditional Use Permit. As the City Council is aware, Woodland Responsible and Compliant Retail, LLC dba Embarc Woodland filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint for Injunctive Relief challenging the review process for the Preliminary Cannabis Business Permits. That litigation is currently pending, but the City is moving forward with the review of the Conditional Use Permits and Operating Agreements with the top four ranked applicants in the meantime.

Discussion:
Applicable Laws, Codes & Ordinances
This project is subject to several laws, codes, and ordinances as described below:
• The City of Woodland General Plan
• The City of Woodland Zoning Ordinance
• City of Woodland Cannabis Business Permit Requirements • California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
• Regulations of the California Department of Cannabis Control 2035 General Plan Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with various policies and actions in the General Plan including Land Use Policy 2.A.6 (Infill Development), Policy 2.D.I (Jobs/Housing Relationship), and Policy
4.C.16 (Safety and Security).
Specifically, the project is consistent with General Plan goals and policies which encourage Woodland residents and visitors to support retail establishments that are located in the City of Woodland (Policy 4.C.8). Currently, Woodland residents and visitors do not have the opportunity to purchase cannabis products locally and instead rely on delivery services from neighboring counties and cities. Establishing storefront retailers in Woodland will gain the City some share in this market through generation of sales tax.
As previously mentioned in this report, applicants for a retail commercial cannabis conditional use permit and operating agreement were required to prepare and provide a Security Plan for proposed sites and facilities which support the deterrence of crime through site planning and design, consistent with Policy 4.C.16 (Safety and Security) and Policy 2.E.7(Public Safety and Community Design). This plan was reviewed by the City of Woodland Police Department and shall meet State requirements.
The proposed use is located on a parcel designated for commercial land uses and will operate out of an existing commercial building (Policy 2.J.I – Enhanced Design Character of Existing Centers).
Zoning Consistency
The project site is zoned Community Commercial Mixed Use. The City Community Commercial Mixed Use zone is applied to areas near entry access nodes to the community and supports commercial uses.
Pursuant to City of Woodland Municipal Code 17.36.020, Table 17.36.020-1, a Cannabis Retail use may be established in the Community Commercial Mixed Use zone subject to use permit approval.
Development Standards
The proposed storefront retail cannabis dispensary would be established in an existing building previously occupied by office uses. Tenant improvements will be made to the existing building to meet the operational requirements of the proposed use, including those outlined in the project's security plan; no new construction is proposed onsite.
The project is consistent with land use, lot coverage, landscaping, building type, building height, and setback requirements for the Community Commercial Mixed Use zone. Vehicle access to the site is provided from an existing driveway from Court Street. At the time of tenant improvements, staff will conduct a staff-level architectural review consistent with existing practice for minor improvements to existing buildings.
Parking
The number of required off-street parking spaces for the proposed storefront retail cannabis dispensary use shall be consistent with the parking requirements for retail land use per City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.68.
Zoning Verification
A zoning verification was conducted as part of the associated preliminary cannabis business permit to verify compliance with the location limitations for commercial cannabis land uses established in the City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.84.120, which is also consistent with State requirements.
At the time of staff’s analysis of the location proposed for the storefront retail cannabis dispensary use, no known sensitive uses were identified within the minimum buffer distance of 600 feet from any property containing a school providing instruction in any grades Kindergarten through twelve (12), a day care center or a youth center, and is not within 600 feet of a public park. There were no more than two retail cannabis dispensaries within 1,000 feet of the project site. The proposed site would be more than 500 feet away from any other storefront retail cannabis dispensary use.
Conditional Use Permit Review
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) affords broad public review and evaluation of those uses which require special consideration to ensure proper integration into the community; mitigation of any potentially adverse impacts; and making the required findings to permit the use. In considering an application for a conditional use, due regard shall be given to the nature and condition of the proposed or existing use and all adjacent uses and structures and may impose such requirements and condition with respect to location, construction, maintenance, and operation, as may be deemed necessary for the protection of adjacent properties and public interest. Conditional Use Permit analysis typically includes consideration of proposed use; hours of operation; consistency with zoning standards such as parking; compatibility with existing uses and structures in the surrounding area; and other criteria as may be deemed appropriate.
A CUP runs with the land unless the CUP is revoked. Once approved, should ownership of the land or the business change, the CUP would remain valid at the location approved.
Following a public hearing, the City Council may approve a use permit application, with or without conditions, if all the following findings can be made:
Use Permit Findings
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed storefront retailer use would be compatible with the underlying General Plan designation and zoning district and operate similarly to other existing retail businesses subject to usePage 131 specific standards. The proposed project is consistent with various policies and actions in the General Plan; including Land Use Policy 2.A.6 (Infill Development); Policy 2.D.I (Jobs/Housing Relationship); and Policy 4.C.16 (Safety and Security).
Specifically, the project would be consistent with General Plan goals and policies which encourage Woodland residents and visitors to support retail establishments that are located in the City of Woodland (Policy 4.C.8). The preparation and provision of a security plan support the deterrence of crime through site planning and design, consistent with Policy 4.C.16 (Safety and Security) and Policy 2.E.7(Public Safety and Community Design).
The proposed use would be located on a parcel designated for commercial land uses and would operate out of an existing commercial building (Policy 2.J.I – Enhanced Design Character of Existing Centers).
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code, and the purposes of the applicable zone.
The proposed use would be located on a commercial site designated Community Commercial on the 2035 General Plan land use diagram and is zoned Community Commercial Mixed Use. Pursuant to City of Woodland Municipal Code 17.36.020, Table 17.36.020-1, a Cannabis Retail use may be established in the Community Commercial Mixed Use zone subject to use permit approval.
The proposed project site is not within a 600-foot radius of a school providing K-12 instruction, a daycare center, a youth center, or a public park.
The proposed retail storefront cannabis dispensary will not be located within 500 feet of another retail storefront cannabis dispensary.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, intensity of the use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.
The operations of Woodland Cannabis Dispensary are based in retail and will not impact any other commercial retail business in the area.
4. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, including transportation and service facilities.
The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding commercial area. The storefront retailer would be located within an existing commercial building similar in design, size and operating characteristics as other single-story retail and restaurant buildings along Court Street.
No new construction is proposed onsite. The building architecture and site improvements, including lighting, landscaping, parking have previously been found consistent with land use, lot coverage, building type, building height, and setback requirements for the Community Commercial district.
5. Granting the Conditional Use Permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
Woodland Cannabis Dispensary's security guards will monitor the site and are required to ensure there is no loitering in the area.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA.
Staff has determined that a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Existing Facilities) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines and a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Infill Development) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines is the appropriate level of CEQA review for this document.
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies’ determination. Class 32 exemption consists of projects characterized as in-fill development within urbanized areas. The class consists of environmentally benign in-fill projects located on sites that are less than 5 acres and consistent with local general plan and zoning requirements. The project will not have any biological, air, water, traffic, or noise impacts. The proposed use would occupy approximately 3,512 square foot existing building that has previously been occupied by commercial uses similar to the proposed project.
In addition to the CUP findings outlined above, the Cannabis Ordinance 1685 (Municipal Code
17.84.120): provides other specific factors that shall be considered by the City Council including the following:
1. The type of proposed use by the applicant.
The proposed use would be located on a commercial site designated Community Commercial on the 2035 General Plan land use diagram and is zoned Community Commercial Mixed Use. Pursuant to City of Woodland Municipal Code 17.36.020, Table 17.36.020-1, a Cannabis Retail use may be established in the Community Commercial Mixed Use zone subject to use permit approval.
2. Whether the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community.
The project site is a commercial area comprised of a variety of commercial retail and service uses along Court Street, with residential uses present further east and west along Court Street. The zoning verification conducted as part of the associated preliminary request for proposals process verified compliance with the location limitations for storefront retailers established in WMC Section 17.84.120.
At the time of staff’s analysis of the location proposed for the storefront retail cannabis dispensary use, no known sensitive uses were identified within the minimum buffer distance of 600 feet from any property containing a school providing instruction in any grades Kindergarten through twelve (12), a day care center or a youth center, and is not within 600 feet of a public park.
Furthermore, operation of the proposed storefront retailer in accordance with the standards established in WMC Section 5.28 as well as the applicant’s Safety and Neighborhood Compatibility Plans will ensure that a storefront retailer use at this location would not have detrimental effects on the surrounding neighborhood.
3. Whether the use would enhance the economic viability of the area in which it is proposed to be located, including adjacent and surrounding properties.
The proposed facility will provide a new source of employment and revenue to the City while remaining under close regulation and oversight by both the City and State.
At the time of approval of a Cannabis Business Permit, an application will be required to Prepare and submit a Community Benefit Plan and Social Policy and Local Enterprise Plan describing the applicant’s plans for local outreach and hiring of residents of the City of Woodland for open positions
and/or compensation for continuing education, and any other actions proposed by the applicant that are intended to benefit the local workforce and/or applicant’s local employees.
4. Whether the applicant has adequately addressed potential community benefits of the use to offset potential adverse impacts.
Woodland Cannabis Dispensary is committed to contributing 2% of their annual business gross receipts per year to active 501( c)(3) non-profits active in the City of Woodland and to hiring all employees directly from the City of Woodland, creating ten (10) jobs initially and up to twenty-five (25) jobs once operations are fully established. A detailed summary of their community benefit and local enterprise plan is provided above in the background section of this report and as Exhibits B and C to the Operating Agreement (Attachment 3).
5. The extent of support or opposition to the proposed use and location from members of the community, and the applicant’s plans to ensure strong community relations and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.

Woodland Cannabis Dispensary has held three Open Houses over the last two years and plans to hold a few more before the end of 2023. The ownership team has had the opportunity to speak with several of the neighboring residences and had very positive interactions.
Prior to submitting the initial application, public notice of the proposed retail cannabis use was provided to owners and tenants within a 600-foot radius of the project site, the site was posted with a highly visible notice, with a minimum of four-feet by eight-foot mounted on a freestanding sign or posted on the building frontage, 10 days before the scheduled public hearing date, and a Legal notice was published in the Woodland Daily Democrat at least ten days before the public hearing date.
Woodland Cannabis Dispensary has prepared and submitted a Community Relations and Neighborhood Compatibility Plan (Attachment 5) describing who is designated as being responsible for outreach and communication with the surrounding community, including the neighborhood and businesses, and how the designee can be contacted. The plan should additionally describe how the cannabis business will proactively address and respond to complaints from the surrounding community related to noise, light, odor, litter, vehicles and pedestrian traffic and any other activities that could become a nuisance or have impacts on the cannabis business’s neighbors and the surrounding community.
