1. PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE AUDIENCE
2. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Extension of Medical Marijuana Dispensary Moratorium Ordinance
On January 23, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance 849, an interim urgency
ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the establishment and operation of
medical marijuana dispensaries in Rosemead for a forty-five (45) day period. That
temporary moratorium will end on March 9, 2007.
During the past month, staff has begun analyzing this issue in greater detail by researching
recent articles on the subject and conferring with other jurisdictions and agencies. Bosed
on these initial findings, an extension of the moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries
is needed to fully explore and understand all of the policy ramifications related to the issue.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following action:
1) Issue this staff report as the written document which describes the measures taken to
alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the urgency ordinance.
2) Adopt Ordinance 850, which would extend Ordinance 849, by placing a moratorium on
the establishment and operation of medical marijuana dispensaries in Rosemead pending
further study of the potential impacts that such facilities could have on public health, safety,
and welfare.
3) Direct staff to bring back for Council consideration a zoning ordinance amendment
which would regulate the establishment and operation of a medical marijuana dispensary in
Rosemead within the next ten months, fifteen days, as mandated by state law which
governs the issuance of any moratorium.
3. CONSENT CALENDAR
A. Resolution No. 2007.07 Claims and Demands
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2007-07, for payment of City expenditures in
the amount of $253,565.88 demands 56155 through 56290.
