4.12. Amendments to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 5.58 (Medical Marijuana Dispensaries),
Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) and Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land)
PLPA-2015-00056
Several new state laws regarding medical marijuana activities will go into effect in 2016, including
Assembly Bill 243 ("AB 243"), which establishes a dual licensing structure for medical marijuana
cultivation. A person wishing to cultivate medical marijuana must receive a license from the
California Department of Food & Agriculture ("DFA"), as well as a license, permit or entitlement from
the local jurisdiction where the cultivation is to take place. However, AB 266 provides that if a local
jurisdiction does not have a land use regulation or an ordinance prohibiting or regulating medical
marijuana cultivation in effect before March 1, 2016, then the DFA will be the sole licensing authority
for the medical marijuana cultivation in that jurisdiction. The primary purpose of the proposed
ordinance is to ensure the City retains local control over medical marijuana cultivation by restricting it
prior to the March 1, 2016 deadline. In addition, the proposed ordinance adds the City's existing
prohibition on medical marijuana dispensaries to the Zoning Ordinance and prohibits the delivery of
medical marijuana within the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Waive the reading and INTRODUCE an Ordinance Amending Chapter 5.58 (Medical Marijuana
Dispensaries), Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) and Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of
Land) of the Dublin Municipal Code to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries, deliveries and
cultivation within the City of Dublin.

independent auditors selected by the City Council. The CAFR is a report which encompasses
information beyond minimum financial reporting requirements. The Auditors have provided a "clean
