4. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Municipal Code Amendment 15-08 — A City Initiated Ordinance Amending Rosemead
Municipal Code Title 13 "Public Services," Chapter 13.08 "Water Efficient Landscapes"
and Associated Guidelines in Accordance with Governor Brown's Drought Executive
Order(B-29-15)
In response to Governor Brown's declared state of emergency due to severe drought conditions
and his Executive Order (EO B-29-15) to update the State's Model Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance, cities throughout California are required to update their landscape ordinances. The
City of Rosemead proposes to amend Chapter 13.08 of the Rosemead Municipal Code "Water
Efficient Landscaping Regulations" and related "Water Efficient Landscape Guidelines"to comply
with State law.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Conduct the noticed public hearing and receive public comment; and
2. Introduce for First Reading, by title only, Ordinance No.960 "An Ordinance of the Rosemead
City Council Amending Chapter 13-08 of the Rosemead Municipal Code Amending the
Water Efficient Landscape Standards Guidelines to be Consistent with State Law."
B. Municipal Code Amendment 15-07 —An Ordinance Amending Rosemead Municipal Code,
Title 17 "Zoning," Chapter 17.40 "Medical Marijuana Dispensaries" to prohibit Medical
Marijuana Cultivation Facilities and Medical Marijuana Deliveries in all Zones of the City
On February 11, 2014, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 935 which added provisions to
the Rosemead Zoning Code (Title 17) that prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries city-wide. On
September 11, 2015, the California Legislature passed three bills that will create a broad State
regulatory and licensing system governing the cultivation, testing, and. distribution of medical
marijuana, as well as physician recommendations for medical marijuana. Governor Brown
signed the three bills (Assembly Bills 243 and 266, and Senate Bill 643) on October 9, 2015.
The new legislation preserves local control over marijuana facilities and land uses, including the
authority to prohibit dispensaries and other medical marijuana businesses completely. In the
City's experience, medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation sites pose significant threats to
public health and safety. Municipal Code Amendment 15-07 (MCA 15-07) proposes an
ordinance to prohibit both medical marijuana cultivation facilities and the delivery of medical
marijuana within the.City.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following Actions:
1. Conduct the noticed public hearing and receive public comment; and
2. Introduce for First Reading, by title only, Ordinance No. 959 — "An Ordinance of the City
Council of the City of Rosemead, California Amending Title 17 "Zoning" of the City's
Municipal Code by Amending Chapter 17.40 to Prohibit Medical Marijuana Cultivation
Facilities and Medical Marijuana Deliveries.
