ORDINANCE NO. 884-A AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA EXTENDING INTERIM ORDINANCE 884, PROHIBITING ALL COMMERCIAL CANNABIS USES IN THE CITY, INCLUDING DELIVERIES, PROHIBITING ALL MEDICAL MARIJUANA CULTIVATION, INCLUDING CULTIVATION FOR MEDICAL USE BY A QUALIFIED PATIENT OR PRIMARY CAREGIVER, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF John Gillison, City Manager gave a brief introduction regarding the extension of the Urgency Ordinance on prohibition of commercial cannabis uses in the City. Jeff Bloom, Deputy City Manager, Economic & Community Development presented the Staff Report specifying that Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 884 on December 16, 2015, and as required by law Council may consider an extension. Mr. Bloom noted that the time extension would be for 10 months and 15 days to allow for Development Code changes. He also noted that the extension would allow time for the March 1, 2016 deadline set by AB-266 for establishing control over the different activities associated with marijuana use in cultivation and delivery. He recommended City Council extend the interim ordinance prohibiting growing, delivery, transportation and dispensing of marijuana in the City. Mr. Bloom said that City Council could either retain these ordinance specifications in the Code or make changes when reviewing the upcoming regulations. In response to Council Member Alexander's question of a person growing plants for personal use under the Medical Care Act, City Attorney James Markman advised that this use has never been the case in Rancho Cucamonga because the City's zoning ordinance does not allow for medical use. The City would take action to stop prohibitive uses but the City cannot criminally prosecute a person for doing something that they are allowed under state law, such as the Medical Care Act. The City would enforce the violation by attaining an injunction against the growing of cannabis/marijuana plants in the City, not prosecution. • January 6, 2016 I Fire Protection District, Successor Agency, Housing Successor Agency, .
