POLICY #107
ADOPTED: June 17,1986 AMENDED: February 2, 2021
3. Expiration of term. All appointees will receive a letter as their terms expire
asking if they would like to re -apply for the position;

Submission must be before the advertised deadline for consideration for the

Office for one-year from submitting an application to be considered for other
vacancies on Boards, Commissions, and Committees as marked on the
application. The City Clerk's Office will notify the applicant being
considered for an appointment to confirm that they are still interested in
volunteering.
5. A member may only serve on one (1) Board, Commission, or Committee at a
time. If applying for another position on a different Board, Commission, or
Committee that applicant will forfeit the prior seat, and a vacancy will occur
per policy.
6. Interviews:
a. Mayor Appointments: Interviews for Mayoral appointments will
be conducted by the Mayor outside of the public meeting and
scheduled by the Mayor's Office.
b. City Council Appointments: Interviews for the three (3) Civil
Service, Planning and Port Commissions who serve at the City
Council's pleasure and are appointed by the City Council as a
body will be interviewed in the public forum at a City Council
Meeting as described below.
7. Mayoral Appointments:
The Mayor will make the motion to appoint (naming the appointee) and
Councilmembers may second the motion. The City Clerk will then take a roll
call vote of the City Council. A majority vote of the City Council will be
required for the appointment. If, the majority of the City Council choose to
deny the proposed appointment, at which point the Mayor would propose an
alternative candidate from the current application pool, or could choose to
reopen the application period and return to City Councils with a different
applicant for consideration. If Mayor Appointment is not approved by the
majority of the City Council by confirmation, that applicant is removed from
the pool for that seat. The Mayor will return to a future meeting with a substitute
Mayoral appointment.
8. For City Council Appointments, the Interview Process is as follows:
a. The City Clerk will provide an overview of the Board,
22 of 236
TITLE: Appointments to Boards and Commissions
POLICY #107
ADOPTED: June 17,1986 AMENDED: February 2, 2021
Commission and Committee (s) with current vacancy, the Mayor
will introduce the applicant and the two (2) questions will be
asked of each applicant on behalf of the City Council.
b. Each applicant is given two (2) minutes to make a brief
introduction of themselves and their qualifications to the City
Council.
c. Mayor and City Councilmembers will ask questions of each
applicant. All applicants must be asked the same questions.
d. Total time per applicant is five (5) timed minutes with a few
minutes for clarification. No more than ten (10) minutes total
per applicant.
e. All appointments and interviews before the City Council will be
scheduled as needed to fill unexpected vacancies, with every
effort to be made before an individual's term expires. Interviews
may take place at one meeting, with appointments made at a
subsequent meeting.
9. Vacancies for City Council Appointed Positions. If the vacancy is for a
Council appointed position, and there is more than one (1) applicant for a
given position, the voting process will proceed as follows: Once the
interviews are complete, each Councilmember votes for their choice via a
written ballot provided by the City Clerk. Each Councilmember shall print
and sign their name on the ballot. All ballots shall be considered a public
record and open to inspection by the public. The ballots are passed to the City
Clerk who announces the number of votes for each candidate.
If, the appointment process is conducted via a virtual meeting the process
is the same except the ballot/vote process. The City Clerk's Office will
provide a Vote Sheet (a piece of paper electronically) with each applicants
name to be considered. The Mayor will count to three (3) and the Council
will hold their vote sheet up in front of their face to make sure it is captured
on the camera during live virtual meeting. The City Clerk will tally the
votes and will then confirm the votes with a verbal roll call. The applicant
with the most votes is appointed.
If meeting is held "in person" no changes to current process will be made for votes.
In the event of a tie, each Councilmember votes again until one (1) candidate has the
majority vote, and is declared to be the newly appointed.
10. Re -appointment beyond two terms. Anyone wishing to be re -appointed to any
Board, Commission, or Committee, and has served two or more full terms already,
23 of 236
TITLE: Appointments to Boards and Commissions
POLICY #107
ADOPTED: June 17,1986 AMENDED: February 2, 2021
must be approved by a four -fifths vote of the Council., If all five members of the
Council are not present or if one member abstains or recuses their vote, the four -
fifths requirement would be changed to require only a simple majority.
11. Report to Council:
All applications received for vacancies no matter Mayoral Appointment or City
Council Appointment will be attached to the staff report to Council. All
applications will have private personal information redacted (name, street
numbers and name of street address, and phone number). This redacted
information is in alignment with law, Under Government Code Section 6255(a)
personal contact information is exempt, and has been withheld on some
documents. Personal information being withheld is in the interest of the
applicant and their right to privacy which outweighs the public interest of
disclosure.
12. An automatic vacancy upon becoming a Non -Resident. An unscheduled
vacancy automatically occurs when a resident holding an appointment position
on a City Board, Committee or Commission becomes a non-resident by moving
out of National City limits. When an unscheduled vacancy occurs due to a
resident becoming a non-resident, the unscheduled vacancy may be filled as
follows:
a. A special vacancy notice shall be posted in the Office of the City
Clerk and the National City Library, and in other places as directed
by the City Council, not earlier than 20 days before or not later than
20 days after the vacancy occurs. Final Appointment at a City
Council Meeting, shall not be made by the Appointing Authority
for at least 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the
City Clerk's Office.
b. The Appointing Authority may appoint the former resident to a
Non- Residential position if a Non -Residential position is vacant.
However, the Appointing Authority may, if it finds that an emergency exist, fill
the unscheduled vacancy immediately. A person appointed to fill the vacancy
shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant
to this section.
13. Only City Residents may be elected to Chair, and Vice -Chair positions. To be
eligible to be elected as the Chairperson of a City Board, Committee or
Commission, the member must be a resident of the City.

community outreach and the development of a draft cannabis ordinance, an application review
process and cost recovery fees.
• September 17, 2019- HdL presented its initial findings to the City Council, after which direction
was provided to staff to develop an ordinance that would allow up to three cannabis businesses
through development agreements to be located in National City's Industrial Zones.
• October 16, 2019- through November 5, 2019- The City developed a survey to gather input from
the community to help guide the development of its cannabis regulatory program, including

Attachment 1
FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE ALLOWING COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
FACILITIES
Consistent with the direction given by Council on September 17, 2020 and February 18, 2020 the
ordinance is attached hereto as Attachment 2.
The ordinance declares and determines that commercial cannabis activity may be allowed within the
National City Industrial Zones and the Tourist Commercial Zone west of 1-5 under the following
conditions.
• No person may engage in any authorized commercial cannabis business or in any commercial
cannabis activity within the City of National City including cultivation, manufacture, processing,
laboratory testing, transporting, dispensing, distribution, or sale of cannabis or a cannabis
product unless the person has the following:
• A valid development agreement jointly negotiated with the City and approved by City
Council;
• A valid commercial cannabis business permit issued by the City of National City;
• A valid business license issued by the City of National City;
• A mandatory building inspection and all required permits and approvals which would
otherwise be required for any business of the same size and intensity operating in
that zone. This includes but is not limited to obtaining any required building permit(s),
the National City Fire Department approvals, Health Department approvals and other
zoning and land use permit(s) and approvals.
• A valid state license for the commercial cannabis activity corresponding to the
business permit issued by the City of National City;
• Requisite approvals from the Planning Division of the National City Community
Development Department;
• A valid State of California Seller's Permit.
• No permit shall be issued pursuant to this Chapter for outdoor commercial cannabis
cultivation, which is prohibited. It is a violation of this Chapter for any person or entity to
engage in any outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation of any kind.
NEXT STEPS
• Public Hearing and first reading at the Planning Commission to strike and replace existing
18.30.340 — Commercial Marijuana Activity
• Second reading and adoption of National City Municipal Section 9.60 and changes to
18.30.340.

approvals for cannabis activities. Additional fees, and other fiscal benefit arrangements will be
considered at a later date to offset additional staff and policing costs associated with ongoing cannabis
operations, which costs are unknown at this time. Fiscal analysis report drafted by HdL is provided as
Attachment 5.

Attachment 1
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEQA")
An initial review of the proposed ordinance has been conducted pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14
California Code of Regulation 15000, et seq.). The proposed ordinance and resolution would delete the
existing prohibition on cannabis uses in the Municipal Code and add provisions to regulate commercial
cannabis activity that: (I) will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value or precedent and will not
be detrimental to the area; (ii) does not authorize any new construction or use but rather describes a
process that will require vetting of environmental, land use and operational issues in connection with each
application for a Certificate of Approval and is therefore not a "project" under CEQA because it establishes
"general policy and procedure making" (CEQA Guidelines Sec.15378(b)(2)), and constitutes "organizational
or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment" (CEQA Guidelines 15378(b)(5)); (iii) the implementing resolution is self -mitigating insofar as
it provides the means for avoiding environmental impacts, if any are identified, as part of each
discretionary application and as provided in NCMC Section 18.12.040 (C) each application is subject to
separate environmental review under CEQA; and (iv) issuance of ministerial permits for personal,
noncommercial cultivation is categorically exempt as a Class 1 or Class 5 project insofar as, at best, the
activities that are authorized would constitute a minor alteration of existing public structures involving no
expansion of use, or a minor Page 8 of 146 alteration in land use limitations (see 14 CCR Sections 15031,
15305). Based on the foregoing staff has determined that this ordinance is exempt from further
environmental review.
Local Coastal Program
The proposed ordinance and implementing resolution do not amend the City's certified Local Coastal
Program (LCP). The ordinance provides licensing and health and safety regulations for cannabis uses under
Title 9 of the NCMC. Zoning and development standards of NCMC Title 18 are not changed except for
partial repeal of the prohibition on cannabis uses under Chapter 18.30 of Division 3, which chapter is not
part of the LCP. Similarly, the proposed implementing resolution is declarative of existing zoning and does
not alter the City's zoning map, development standards or the LCP. Accordingly, no LCP amendment or
other Coastal Commission approval is required for the ordinance and resolution

Summary and Recommendations
National City is proposing to allow just three cannabis businesses, without specifying what types they may
be. HdL anticipates that the limited number of licenses available would tend to attract businesses that
conduct more than one type of commercial cannabis activity at a single location, most likely including
retail as a component of their operation. This may or may not include cannabis microbusinessesl.
HdL recommends that the City establish a community benefits fee with a rate between 2.5% and 5% of
gross receipts for all cannabis businesses, regardless of type. This range would be slightly higher than the
standard tax rates HdL commonly recommends for some types of businesses but would be somewhat
lower for others. Applying a single rate to all cannabis business activities provides for a simplified tax or
fee structure for businesses conducting more than one type of licensed activity. This is discussed in
Section III; Common Cannabis Tax Rates.
We have provided revenue estimates using rates of 2.5%, 4.0% and 5.0%, based upon three different
scenarios. These scenarios indicate a range of potential revenues from $275,000 up to $1,050,000. These
scenarios are presented and discussed below.
Scenario 1 shows the potential revenues that could be generated from one of each type of commercial
cannabis business'. This model assumes that one of the three permitted business would operate two
different activities. The most probable combination here is that either the cultivator or the manufacturer
would also hold a distribution license. Under this scenario, a community benefits fee with a rate of 2.5%
would generate $275,000 in annual revenue for the City. A rate of 40% would generate $440,000, and a
rate of 5.0% would generate $550,000 in annual revenue. These revenues are shown in Figure 1, below.

Scenario 2 shows the revenues that could be generated by 2 cultivation operations, 2 retailers, 1
manufacturer and 1 distributor. Because we have estimated the same average gross receipts for both
manufacturers and distributors, this scenario could also show the amount of revenue that would be

provide that cultivation is limited to no more than 10,000 square feet of canopy. Other licensees may also conduct
multiple types of activities under one business entity, but each activity must be separately licensed.
2 We have not included cannabis testing laboratories in our estimates as we believe the City is unlikely to attract
any of these businesses. The reasoning behind this is explained in Section VII; Cannabis Testing Laboratories.

generated by 2 cultivators, 2 retailers, and either 2 manufacturers or 2 distributors. Applying the
recommended community benefits fee with a rate of 2.5% would generate $425,000 in annual revenue
for the City. A rate of 4.0% would generate $680,000 in annual revenue, and a rate of 5.0% would generate
$850,000. These revenues are shown in Figure 2.

Scenario 3 shows assumes that all three of the available licenses from the City are for microbusinesses,
and that all three of these businesses include a retail component. The model assumes that one of the
microbusinesses would include retail, cultivation and manufacturing, one would include retail, cultivation
and distribution, and one would include retail, manufacturing and distribution. The gross receipts for
each licensed activity is listed separately. Under this scenario, a community benefits fee at a rate of 2.5%
would generate $525,000, a rate of 4.0% would generate $840,000, and a rate of 5.0% would generate
$1,050,000 in annual revenue for the City.

The City has also indicated that it would like to require licensed businesses to commit to a minimum
revenue guarantee as a part of their community benefits fee. HdL expresses no opinion on the concept
of a minimum revenue guarantee but notes that any flat -rate minimum fee would have to be set at a level
that is acceptable and realistic for all business types, including those with lower revenue potential. We
recommend that the minimum revenue guarantee be set at no more than $25,000 per business,
regardless of the number or types of activities they may conduct. At this level, the three licenses proposed
by the City would generate a guaranteed minimum of $75,000 in annual revenue.
Scenario 1 shows that, at a 2.5% rate, manufacturers, distributors and retailers might each generate
around $50,000 in annual revenue (assuming $2 million in gross receipts). Because retailers generally
share the same market and customer base, addition retailers would reduce the market share and gross

Attachment 5
receipts for each one. In our models, having three retailers could potentially reduce the gross receipts for
each one from $2 million down to $1 million, in turn reducing the community benefits revenue from each
one from $50,000 per year down to just $25,000. To require such a business to guarantee that minimum
level of revenue to the City may be unreasonable. However, we anticipate that the limited number of
licenses available would tend to attract businesses that conduct more than one type of commercial
cannabis activity at a single location, thereby increasing their gross receipts and associated revenue
potential to the City.
If the City determines to require a minimum revenue guarantee as a part of each development agreement,
then as a precaution we would encourage the City to include some mechanism to appeal for relief in the
case of demonstrable temporary hardship. Otherwise, the requirement for a suffering business to pay
this minimum amount could contribute to the failure and loss of that business, and its associated revenues
for the City.

I. The Cannabis Industry in the National City/San Diego Region
The amount of revenue that a city or county may be able to generate from a cannabis business tax (or
comparable fees) depends upon the type, number and size of cannabis businesses that may choose to
locate within the City. Cannabis retailers, cultivators, manufacturers, distributors and testing facilities are
each interdependent upon a network of other cannabis businesses, so understanding the extent of the
industry in the region provides some basis for projecting the types of businesses that may vie for the 3
available licenses in National City.
Our analysis of potential revenue from a community benefits fee assessed on cannabis businesses is based
on data and assumptions about the total size of the local market. The three cannabis licensing agencies
for the State of California (the Bureau of Cannabis Control, the CalCannabis Division of the California
Department of Food and Agriculture, and the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch of the California
Department of Public Health) have all been issuing temporary licenses for commercial cannabis businesses
since late December of 2017. In addition, HdL has worked with a number of nearby cities and counties
that are developing or implementing their own cannabis regulatory and taxation programs. This data
provides a wealth of previously unavailable information about the cannabis industry around the State.
For our analysis, we shall assume that wholesale cannabis businesses such as cultivators, manufacturers
and distributors would primarily interact or do business with other cannabis businesses within a one -hour
radius of National City. This would roughly include the cities of San Diego, La Mesa, Escondido, Oceanside
and Vista, along with unincorporated San Diego County. There are 25 distributors, 26 manufacturers, 2
testing laboratories and 37 retailers within this region, along with 8 cultivators and 4 microbusinesses.
Combined, there are 102 active cannabis business licenses in all of San Diego County. These numbers are
shown below in Figure 3.

Moving further out, we find a robust cannabis industry throughout Southern California. There are
currently 89 State -licensed cannabis businesses in neighboring Orange County. Riverside County has 316,
San Bernardino has 139, and Imperial County has 12. Los Angeles County has 993 State -licensed cannabis
businesses. Combined, there are 1,651 licensed cannabis businesses in this 6-county region, the vast
majority of which are within 2 hours of National City. Numerous cities and counties within this region are
currently in the process of permitting additional cannabis businesses or developing regulatory policies
that will allow them to do so in the near future.
HdL Companies

Attachment 5
We anticipate that the number of licensed cannabis businesses' in the Southern California region and the
number of jurisdictions allowing and permitting them will continue to increase substantially over time. As
this occurs, we would expect the decisions as to where these businesses choose to locate will be
increasingly driven by the same market -based factors that influence such decisions for other types of
businesses, including access to markets and consumers, available and appropriate industrial or
commercial space, competitive lease rates, a ready talent pool, and a network of supporting businesses
and industries. Differences in regulations and taxes (within reason) will cease to be the overarching
consideration.
The high number of licensed cannabis businesses within the greater Southern California region suggests
that there is already a large and diverse industry cluster that can both support and provide competition
for additional cannabis businesses. Cultivators, manufacturers and distributors in National City would
have plenty of options for who to work with in bringing their products to market, and retailers would have
lots of options for regionally -sourced products to place on their shelves.
3 The numbers here represent only those licenses listed as "Active" by the three State licensing agencies. The
number of State licenses and local licenses or permits may not be the same for a variety of reasons. The three State
licensing agencies separately license each individual commercial cannabis activity (except for microbusinesses which
may conduct three or more activities under one license). This may or may not be the case for local jurisdictions,
which may instead permit a single business to conduct multiple activities from a single location. For cultivators, we
have here listed the number of separate businesses, rather than the number of licenses, as it is very common for a
cultivator to hold multiple licenses from the State.

II. Common Cannabis Tax Rates
Cannabis tax rates have been settling and stabilizing around the State since the beginning of 2018. Many
cities instituted cannabis taxes prior to the implementation of statewide regulations, with a wide range
of tax structures and rates as high as $30 per square foot (for cultivation) or 18% of gross receipts. Some
of these "early adopter" cities have since reduced their rates to be more competitive with common rates
that are now emerging around the State.
The State of California applies two separate taxes to cannabis: a cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce of dried
flower ($2.75 per ounce of dried leaf or trim and an excise tax of 15% on the purchase of cannabis and
cannabis products. These two separate State taxes can add up to 26% to consumer cannabis prices, even
before any local taxes are contemplated. This leaves very little room for local jurisdictions to work within
if they wish to remain under the total cumulative tax rate of 30%. This is an important benchmark to allow
the local industry to compete against the illicit market and against other regulated cannabis businesses
from around the State (see Attachment C; State Tax Considerations).
The City Council has provided direction to develop a revenue mechanism using community benefits fees
as a component of a required development agreement for any cannabis businesses. This fee would be
keyed to the gross receipts of the business, so as to provide revenues that are consistent with a
comparable cannabis tax, and therefore competitive with the tax rates in other nearby jurisdictions. The
City also desires that the community benefits fee should provide a guaranteed minimum amount of
revenue from each business.
HdL has worked with numerous local agencies around the State to develop cannabis tax measures for the
ballot. The initial range of tax rates for cannabis businesses other than cultivation commonly runs from
2% of gross receipts for distributors, to 2.5% for manufacturers, and up to 4% for retailers. These rates
may be adjusted up to a maximum of 3%, 4% and 6%, respectively. The most common tax rates that HdL
recommends to our clients are shown in Figure 4, below.
Figure 4:
Commonly Recommended Rates for Various Cannabis Business Types

3% of gross receipts
Retail

The tax or fee rates shown are commonly applied when a jurisdiction has specified the number of licenses
or permits they will be issuing for each type of business. For example, if a city determined that it would
issue 4 licenses for cultivation, 4 for manufacturing, 4 for distribution and 2 for retail, then the anticipated
tax revenue for that city would be a function of applying the specified rates above to the number and
anticipated gross receipts (or square footage) for each type of cannabis business. Though the
performance and actual gross receipts of each business would vary, the general range of revenues would
be somewhat predictable, allowing the city to budget accordingly.
HdL Companies
Fiscal Analysis of the Commercial Cannabis Industry in the City of National City Page 8 of 25
163 of 236
Attachment 5
However, National City is currently proposing to allow just three cannabis businesses, without specifying
what types they may be. Because of this, the different rates above could produce significant variations in
the amount of revenue generated for the City, depending on the types of businesses receiving those 3
licenses. For example, 2 retailers and 1 manufacturer might generate as much as $170,000 for the City,
while 2 distributors and 1 testing laboratory might generate as little as $70,000.
Because of this, HdL recommends that the City apply a uniform rate for all potential cannabis businesses,
so that revenues will be reasonably consistent regardless of the types of businesses receiving the three
available licenses. We recommend the City consider a range of 2.5% to 5.0% of gross receipts for all
cannabis businesses, regardless of type. This range would be slightly higher than the standard rates shown
above for some types of businesses but would be somewhat lower for others.
In addition, HdL anticipates that the limited number of licenses available would tend to attract businesses
that conduct more than one type of commercial cannabis activity at a single location, most likely including
retail as a component of their operation. This may or may not include cannabis microbusinesses, which
may conduct at least three types of licensed cannabis business activities under a single State license,
provide that any cultivation is limited to no more than 10,000 square feet of canopy. Applying a single
rate to all cannabis business activities provides for a simplified tax or fee structure for businesses
conducting more than one type of licensed activity.

III. Cannabis Manufacturers
The manufacturing sector is still evolving and expanding, which presents significant opportunities for
innovation, business development and job growth. The range of products being produced includes an
ever-increasing variety of edibles such as candies, cookies, dressings, and infused (non-alcoholic) drinks.
Manufacturers may produce their own extract on site, or they may buy extract from other Type 6 or Type
7 licensees. Much like any other industry, cannabis manufacturers often depend upon other businesses
to supply them with the various materials or components that go into their final product. These suppliers
do not have to be located in or even near the same jurisdiction as the final manufacturer, and may be
located anywhere throughout the state.
Some manufacturers may handle all steps from extraction to packaging the end product in the form of
vape pens or other such devices. Others may handle only discreet steps, such as making the raw cannabis
concentrate, which is then sold either directly to retailers or to a Type N manufacturer who will package
it into vapor cartridges or other end consumer products. Manufacturers also produce a wide variety of
tinctures, as well as topicals such as cannabis infused lotions, salves, sprays, balms, and oils.
As of July 30`h, 2019, the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch (MCSB) of the California Department of
Public Health shows 871 cannabis manufacturing licenses statewide, held by 841 separate companies. Of
these, 464 are for non-volatile extraction, 243 are for volatile extraction, 123 are for non -extraction
manufacturing, 25 are for packaging and labeling, and 16 are for manufacturers using shared -use facilities.
In its regulatory impact statement, the MCSB estimated that 1,000 cannabis manufacturing businesses in
California would employ around 4,140 people, for an average of 4 jobs per manufacturer. HdL believes
this average is on the low side, as we are aware of individual manufacturers which have over 100
employees. While this figure is clearly an outlier, it demonstrates that cannabis manufacturers have the
potential to far exceed the MCSB's estimate.
HdL has reviewed pro-formas for numerous cannabis manufacturers seeking permits in counties and cities
throughout California. From our review we have seen a range of gross receipts from around $1 million
to well over $20 million, with an average in the range of $2 million to $3 million. For National City, we
anticipate that cannabis manufacturers would likely tend towards the lower side of this range.
We have provided three scenarios to estimate the potential revenue that could be generated from a fee
in the range of 2.5% to 5.0% applied to 1, 2 or 3 manufacturers, with a conservative average of $2.0 million
each. We anticipate that the revenues that could be generated from 2 manufacturers ranges from
$100,000 to $200,000 per year.

IV. Cannabis Distributors
Perhaps more than any other part of the cannabis supply chain, distributors are greatly dependent upon
the number and variety of other cannabis business types within their service area. Essentially, distributors
need a certain "critical mass" of other cannabis businesses for them to serve. Because of this, distributors
tend to be located in cities or regions which have a large base of cultivation or manufacturing, as well as
a large surrounding customer base.
As a very general figure, the number of cannabis distributors statewide is roughly 1/4 of the number of all
other cannabis licenses, combined, or 1 distributor for every 4 other cannabis businesses. In addition,
virtually all (260 out of 262) licensed microbusinesses in California include distribution as one of their
licensed activities. We can reasonably extrapolate from this to assume that a similar ratio of distributors
to other businesses is necessary within any defined region.
The business model for distributors is based on a percentage markup on the price paid to their suppliers.
This markup commonly averages 20% to 30%, though this depends upon the actual services being
provided. However, it is important to note that the distributor category may include a variety of services,
not all of which are provided by all licensed distributors. Just under 11% of distributors hold Type 13
licenses that allow self -distribution or transport only. A distributor which is only buying and reselling
cannabis at wholesale may make as little as 10% on a transaction, while a distributor which is purchasing
raw flower and packaging it as pre -rolls for retail sale may make 50% or more on such a value-added
transaction.
Distributors may have annual revenues ranging from less than $1 million to over $70 million. The vast
majority of distributors would fall at the lower end of that range, with those at the high end qualifying as
outliers. While there is not yet an abundance of data to determine the average gross receipts for
distributors, HdL has reviewed a number of pro -formal for distributors seeking licenses in other
jurisdictions. These indicate anticipated gross receipts commonly in the range of $2 million to $3 million
per year, with an average of $2.5 million. HdL anticipates that distributors in National City would tend
towards the lower end of that range, with an average of $2 million in gross receipts.
We have provided three scenarios to estimate the potential revenue that could be generated from a fee
in the range of 2.5% to 5.0% applied to 1, 2 or 3 distributors, with a conservative average of $2.0 million
in gross receipts. Under these scenarios, a community benefits fee of 2.5% of could generate between
$50,000 and $150,000 in annual revenue for the City, depending upon the number of distributors, and a
rate of 4.0% could generate between $80,000 and $240,000. A rate of 5.0% could generate between
$100,000 and $300,000. These numbers are shown in Figure 7, below.

V. Cultivation
The CalCannabis Division of the California Department of Food and Agriculture has been issuing temporary
cultivation licenses since January 1, 2018. As of October 11th, CalCannabis shows 3,637 active cultivation
licenses statewide, held by 1,756 distinct businesses comprising 647 acres of cultivation which are
conservatively estimated to be capable of producing over 6 million pounds of cannabis per year. This is
more than double the estimated 2.5 million pounds per year consumed by all Californians, combined.
The cannabis cultivation market in California has already far exceeded its saturation point, which suggests
that there is not enough room for those growers already licensed, much less new entrants into the market.
Entry into this highly competitive marketplace can be filled with risk, and requires ample capitalization
and a clear branding and marketing strategy to win shelf space.
As discussed in Section III; Common Cannabis Tax Rates, HdL commonly recommends that cannabis
cultivation be taxed per square foot, rather than by gross receipts. However, due to the limited number
of licenses the City will be allowing, we anticipate that these businesses will likely conduct more than one
type of permitted activity from a single location. For vertically -integrated businesses such as this, we
recommend that the City's community benefits fee provide a single rate for all cannabis business types,
based on gross receipts.
Determining an equivalent rate between a fee based on square footage and one based on gross receipts
can be accomplished using a few basic assumptions. In Figure 7 we have projected the amount of cannabis
that can be produced from a typical 10,000 square foot indoor cultivation facility. We have assumed that
the facility will achieve four harvest cycles per year, which is fairly standard (though many operators are
able to achieve more). Yield is assumed to average one pound of cannabis flower for every 8 square feet
of cultivation area. Using this figure, a 10,000 square foot cultivation facility operating 4 cycles would
produce around 5,000 pounds of cannabis per year.
The wholesale price per pound is conservatively assumed to be $1,000. This figure is somewhat lower
than the current average for indoor -grown cannabis, but there is still great variability in the market and,
over the long term we anticipate that wholesale prices for raw cannabis will continue to decline. Applying
this figure, our 10,000 square foot facility would generate $5 million in gross receipts.
Figure 11 (below) shows the equivalent rates for square footage, gross receipts and yield (per -pound),
based on these assumptions. A rate of 2.5% would be equivalent to a rate of $12.50 per square foot. A
rate of 4.0% would be equivalent to $20.00 per square foot, and a rate of 5.0% would be equivalent to
$25.00 per square foot.

These conversion rates are significantly higher than the $7.00 to $10.00 per square foot range that we
commonly recommend for indoor cultivation. However, in this case we believe these rates are justified
by the limited availability of permits and the high likelihood that any cultivation would be part of a
vertically -integrated business which would sell a substantial portion of its product at retail prices, rather
than wholesale, or as value-added manufactured products.
We have provided 3 scenarios, assuming 1, 2 or 3 cultivation sites with up to 10,000 square feet of canopy
each. Under these scenarios, applying a community benefits fee of 2.5% of gross receipts would generate
between $125,000 and $375,000 in annual revenue for the City. A fee of 4.0% would generate between
$200,000 and $600,000, and a fee of 5.0% would generate between $250,000 and $750,000. These
estimates are shown in Figure 9, below.

V. Testing Laboratories
California law requires that all dried cannabis flower or leaf must be tested for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
and cannabidiol (CBD) content, contaminants, impurities and other factors before it can be sold to a
manufacturer, distributor, dispensary or end user. The cost of this mandated testing and the loss of
product for a testing sample can add around 0.7% to the wholesale cost.
The Bureau of Cannabis Control shows only 29 active licenses for testing laboratories in all of California, 3
of which are in the City of San Diego. 6 more facilities are within roughly an hour of the City. This high
concentration of testing facilities suggests that the local cannabis industry is already well -served, so that
additional facilities may not be needed. Virtually all of the cannabis businesses that would be served by
a testing laboratory in National City would come from the north and would have to pass by numerous
closer facilities to get their product to the lab. Because of this, we believe it is highly unlikely that National
City would attract any additional testing facilities.
Testing is an independent, semi -regulatory function mandated by the State to protect consumer health
and safety, and which amounts to a State -imposed cost on the product. HdL is not aware of any similar
testing of agricultural products that is subject to a separate tax on top of the cost of mandated testing.
More commonly, the costs for similar services for other agricultural products may be subsidized by the
USDA or other sources that are not available to cannabis farmers.
Tax (or fee) rates for cannabis testing laboratories tend to fall between 1% and 2%, in recognition of the
quasi -regulatory function they provide. Some jurisdictions choose to not apply any tax to testing
laboratories, in recognition of the semi -regulatory function they serve. The recommended rates of 2.5%
to 5% are well above the common range for cannabis testing facilities and would likely serve as a powerful
disincentive for any testing facilities seeking to locate in the City. Were the City to provide a lower fee
rate for testing laboratories, it would effectively be giving up higher potential revenues from some other
potential use of one of the 3 limited permits.
For these reasons, we believe it is highly unlikely that the City would succeed in attracting any cannabis
testing laboratories.

VI. Cannabis Retailers
Retailers are the only cannabis business type that specifically serves the local community, rather than
feeding into the statewide market, and so the number of retailers can be assumed to be somewhat
proportional to the local population. Cannabis retailers address a local market demand which is generally
assumed to exist within a given community regardless of whether there is any legal access. Consumer
demand for cannabis is assumed to generally be a constant, regardless of its legal status or the availability
of retailers, and so it's reasonable to expect that more retailers would mean fewer customers for each
and, thus, lower gross receipts.
It is anticipated that providing greater access to retailers would initially facilitate a shift in cannabis
purchases happening through legal, regulated means rather than through the illicit market. Eventually,
though, the local cannabis market will reach saturation, at which point new cannabis retailers will simply
cannibalize sales from existing retailers. Essentially, both licensed and unlicensed cannabis retailers all
divide the same pie. The taxable amount of gross sales will likely plateau at some point, regardless of the
number of retailers.
Under California's regulatory program, it is anticipated that consumers will have little reason to purchase
cannabis in the medical segment rather than buying in the adult use segment. Both medical and adult
use cannabis will pay the State cultivation tax and excise tax, with the only advantage being an exemption
from regular sales tax for qualifying patients with a State -issued identification card. Currently there are
only 6,172 such cardholders in California, and just 436 cards were issued in all of San Diego County in FY
2017/2018'. Eligibility for this limited sales tax exemption will cost consumers approximately $100 per
year, plus time and inconvenience, for a savings of 8.75% in National City. It's anticipated that this will
provide no price advantage for the majority of cannabis consumers"
The Bureau of Cannabis Control projects that more than half of the adult use purchases currently in the
illicit market will transition to the legal market to avoid the inconvenience, stigma and risks of buying
unknown product through an unlicensed seller'" Essentially, the easier, cheaper and more reliable it is
for consumers to access quality cannabis legally, the less reason they will have to purchase it through the
illicit market. That same study projects that 60% of those currently in the legal, medical cannabis market
will shift to the adult use market, for the reasons noted above. The availability of legal adult use cannabis
is also anticipated to produce a small 9.4% increase in consumer demand. It must be noted, though, that
this transition to legal sales is dependent upon the availability of legal access. The majority of cities and
counties in California do not allow or permit cannabis retailers, which has buoyed a persistent black
market.
The shift from medical to adult use sales is not expected to change the overall volume of sales, only the
category into which they fall. Once the legal, adult use market is properly functioning and available
throughout the state, it is anticipated to capture about 61.5% of the overall cannabis market in California.
The legal medical cannabis market is projected to decline to just 9% of the overall market, though this
projection may change due to the increasing popularity of CBD products. The other 29.5% is expected to
remain in the illicit market". The vast majority of retail licenses issued by the Bureau of Cannabis Control
are for retailers who will operate both medical and adult use from the same premises.

Attachment 5
Sales tax is collected at the point of purchase, which allows storefront cannabis retailers to capture sales
tax dollars from outside of their host cities. This applies to cannabis retail taxes, too. Retail studies show
that 93% of consumers are willing to travel 15 to 20 minutes to make most routine purchases", meaning
that storefront retailers in National City may be able to capture sales tax (and cannabis tax) from a much
larger area extending generally from as far away as San Diego, La Mesa, Chula Vista and Imperial Beach.
For purchases made via delivery, however, the point of purchase is considered to be the location where
the goods trade hands. Thus, while storefront retailers may capture voter -approved sales taxes and
community benefits fees from outside of National City, delivery services cannot. Storefront cannabis sales
in National City would collect a total of 2.00% sales tax plus any applicable community benefits fees for
the City, while delivery to addresses outside of the City would only be subject to the base 1.00% sales tax.
Though both storefront and non -storefront retailers would serve the same customer base, the City would
collect a significantly higher amount of revenue from sales made at storefront retail locations than from
those made via delivery to addresses outside of the City.
Estimates of the percentage of the population that uses cannabis on a regular basis vary from around 10%
to 13%"', up to as high as 22%"". This percentage is influenced by social acceptance of cannabis within the
local community. Applying these estimates to the City's population of 60,000 would yield between
roughly 6,000 and 13,000 potential cannabis consumers.
HdL has seen a general range of revenues for cannabis retailers of between $1 million and $4 million,
though some outliers have gross receipts as high as $20 million. Receipts for retailers are directly related
to the size of the market, so more retailers in a city would generally indicate lower gross receipts for each.
Retailers in National City would have to compete for market share with 17 retailers in San Diego and 10
in La Mesa, both of which are within reasonable driving or delivery distance. In addition, retailers would
lose some portion of sales to unlicensed delivery services. The Weedmaps website shows between 30
and 50 unlicensed cannabis delivery services that all appear to deliver to addresses in National City'.
HdL estimates that one retailer in National City would average $2 million in gross receipts, 2 would average
$1.5 million, and 3 would average $1 million. Applying the recommended community benefits fee of 2.5%
of gross receipts to these figures would generate between $50,000 and $75,000 in annual revenue for the
City. A rate of 4.0% would generate between $80,000 and $120,000, and a rate of 5.0% would generate
between $100,000 and $150,000.

Attachment 5
a. Legal and Regulatory Background for California
The legal and regulatory status of cannabis in the State of California has been continually evolving ever
since the passage of Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (CUA), which de -criminalized
the use, possession and cultivation of cannabis for qualifying patients and their primary caregivers when
such use has been recommended by a physician. The CUA did not create any regulatory program to guide
implementation, nor did it provide any guidelines for local jurisdictions to establish their own regulations.
The lack of legal and regulatory certainty for medical marijuana (or cannabis) continued for nearly 20
years, until the passage of the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) in October of 2015.
MCRSA created a State licensing program for commercial medical cannabis activities, while allowing
counties and cities to maintain local regulatory authority. MCRSA required that the State would not issue
a license without first receiving authorization by the applicable local jurisdiction.
On November 8, 2016, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 64, the Adult Use of
Marijuana Act (AUMA), which allows adults 21 years of age or older to legally grow, possess, and use
marijuana for personal, non -medical "adult use" purposes, with certain restrictions. AUMA requires the
State to regulate non -medical marijuana businesses and tax the growing and selling of medical and non-
medical marijuana. Cities and counties may also regulate non -medical marijuana businesses by requiring
them to obtain local permits or restricting where they may be located. Cities and counties may also
completely ban marijuana related businesses if they so choose. However, cities and counties cannot ban
transport of cannabis products through their jurisdictions, nor can they ban delivery of cannabis by
licensed retailers to addresses within their jurisdiction (added later through regulations).
On June 27, 2017, the Legislature enacted SB 94, which repealed MCRSA and incorporated certain
provisions of MCRSA into the licensing provisions of AUMA. These consolidated provisions are now known
as the Medicinal and Adult -Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA). MAUCRSA revised
references to "marijuana" or "medical marijuana" in existing law to instead refer to "cannabis" or
"medicinal cannabis," respectively. MAUCRSA generally imposes the same requirements on both
commercial medicinal and commercial adult -use cannabis activity, with certain exceptions. MAUCRSA
also made a fundamental change to the local control provisions. Under MCRSA, an applicant could not
obtain a State license until they had a local permit. Under MAUCRSA, an applicant for a State license does
not have to first obtain a local permit, but they cannot be in violation of any local ordinance or regulations.
The State licensing agency shall contact the local jurisdiction to see whether the applicant has a permit or
is in violation of local regulations, but if the local jurisdiction does not respond within 60 days, then the
applicant will be presumed to be in compliance and the State license will be issued.
MAUCRSA authorizes a person to apply for and be issued more than one license only if the licensed
premises are separate and distinct. With the passage of AB 133 in 2017, a person or business may co -
locate multiple license types on the same premises, allowing a cultivator to process, manufacture or
distribute their own product from a single location. This includes the allowance to cultivate, manufacture,
distribute or sell cannabis for both medical and adult use from a single location. Licensees of cannabis
testing operations may not hold any other type of license. However, these allowances are still subject to
local land use authority, so anyone seeking to operate two or more license types from a single location
would be prohibited from doing so unless local regulations allow both within the same zone.

AUMA, and its successor MAUCRSA, required three state agencies, the Bureau of Cannabis Control, the
California Department of Food and Agriculture, and the California Department of Public Health, to permit
commercial cannabis licensees and to adopt regulations for the cannabis industry. On January 16, 2019,
all three agencies announced that the State's Office of Administrative Law officially approved the
proposed regulations, which took immediate effect and replaced the emergency regulations that had
been in effect since 2017. The final regulations were largely similar to the emergency regulations, but
somewhat controversially, Section 5416(d) of the Bureau of Cannabis Control regulations authorizes
deliveries of cannabis products into any city or county in the state, even if a city or county has banned
commercial deliveries.

b. State Tax Considerations
To determine what local tax rates might be most appropriate, they must be considered in the context of
other taxes imposed by the State. Any local taxes will be in addition to those taxes applied through the
Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), which imposes both a 15% excise tax on purchases of cannabis or
cannabis products and a separate cultivation tax on harvested cannabis that enters the commercial
market, as well as sales tax. Taxes are most commonly expressed as a percent of price or value, so some
method of conversion is necessary to allow development of an appropriate cultivation tax based on square
footage.
The State tax rate for
cultivation is set at $9.25 per
ounce of dried flower or
$2.75 per ounce of dried leaf.
Because these rates are set
per ounce, rather than as a
percentage of price paid, the
tax is the same whether the
cultivator is producing
commercial -grade cannabis
at $500 per pound or top -
grade cannabis at $2,500 per
pound. The cultivator is
generally responsible for
payment of the tax, though
that responsibility may be
passed along to either a
manufacturer or distributor
via invoice. at the time the
product is first sold or
transferred. The distributor
is responsible for collecting
the tax from the cultivator
upon entry into the
commercial market, and

The cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce of dried flower is equivalent to $148 per pound. Just a year ago,
HdL would have assumed an average wholesale market price for dried flower of around $1,480 per pound,
which would make that $148 equal to 10% of value. Since then, however, prices have plummeted.
Competitive market forces enabled by legalization have brought the average price for indoor cannabis
down to around $1,000 per pound, or even less (cannabis prices vary greatly based on quality of the
product).

Attachment 5
Conversations with cannabis industry trade groups suggest that the cumulative tax rate on the end
product should remain at or around 30%. Higher rates create too much price disparity between legal and
illegal cannabis, making it harder for the regulated industry to compete with the illicit market. Higher
local tax rates can also make a county or city less attractive to the industry, especially for manufacturers
and distributors, which have greater flexibility in choosing where to locate. We believe that setting rates
that adhere to this 30% rule will help keep the local cannabis industry competitive with other cultivators
across California, thus encouraging the transition to a legal industry.
The above table shows how the cumulative tax rate on adult -use cannabis builds as the product moves
towards market. The value of the product increases as it moves through the supply chain towards market,
with manufacturers, distributors and retailers each adding their own markup. Testing laboratories do not
add a direct markup to the product, but the cost of testing and the loss of a small test sample can add
around $75 per pound. Any or all of these activities may be taxed.
This model assumes a hypothetical case where cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution and retail
sale all happen within the same jurisdiction and are thus all subject to that jurisdiction's tax rates. In
actuality, this is unlikely to be the case. Manufacturers may work with product purchased from anywhere
in California, and may sell their product to retailers elsewhere, as well. The cumulative tax burden for any
product at retail sale will almost always include a variety of tax rates from numerous jurisdictions.

c. General Economic Impacts
Discussion of regulating and taxing the cannabis industry can too often overshadow the larger jobs and
economic development issues that typically accompany efforts to attract new industry. Word that a new
business or industry is looking to bring hundreds of new jobs to a community is more commonly met with
open arms and offers of tax incentives. The cannabis industry is perhaps completely unique in that the
inherent jobs and economic development benefits are welcomed more grudgingly and met with the
disincentive of special taxes.
As with any other industry, the cannabis industry does not exist in a vacuum. Those businesses that
actually grow, process, manufacture, distribute and sell cannabis products support a wide variety of other
businesses that may never touch the actual product itself. Cultivators support garden supply stores, green
house manufacturers, irrigation suppliers, soil manufacturers, and a wide variety of contractors including
building and construction, lighting and electrical, HVAC, permitting, and engineering. Manufacturers
support many of these same businesses, plus specialized tooling and equipment manufacturers, and
product suppliers for hardware, packaging, and labeling. All of these businesses support, and are
supported by, a host of ancillary businesses such as bookkeepers, accountants, tax preparers, parcel
services, marketing and advertising agencies, personnel services, attorneys, mechanics, facilities
maintenance, security services, and others.
The economic benefits are not limited to those in the cannabis industry, itself. Cultivators bring new
money into the community by selling their products into a statewide market. Their profits and the salaries
they pay move into the general local economy, supporting stores, restaurants, car dealerships,
contractors, home sales and other businesses. In Humboldt County, a study done in 2011 found that at
least $415 million dollars in personal income was entering the local economy annually from the cannabis
industry, roughly equal to one quarter of the county's entire $1.6 billion economy.
While Humboldt is likely an outlier, research done by HdL for other clients suggests that other counties
and cities see similar, if smaller, economic inputs from this industry, with some in the range of $100 million
dollars or more annually. As this industry adapts to a legal paradigm, the challenge for some counties will
be mitigating and minimizing the economic loss as the black market slowly fades away.
Because of the emerging nature of this industry, it is currently populated primarily (but not solely) by
small, independently -owned businesses. Numerous studies have demonstrated that locally -owned,
independent businesses recirculate a far higher percentage of every dollar back into the local community
than large, corporately -owned businesses do. The same economic development arguments that are used
to support other independent, locally -owned businesses apply to this industry, too. Host cities or counties
should expect to see typical economic benefits from these new (or newly daylighted) businesses on par
with other new businesses, separate from any tax revenue that may be generated.
Industry experts believe that California's current statewide production is five to eight times higher than
the State's population consumes, a figure derived from the SRIA done for CDFA's cannabis cultivation
program. That assessment found that California's cannabis industry produces some 13.5 million pounds
of cannabis per year, which would be enough to provide over half a pound of cannabis per year for every
Californian 21 and over. However, the assessment also found that California's 4.5 million cannabis users
only consume about 2.5 million pounds of cannabis per year.

The Bureau of Cannabis Control projects that more than half of the adult use purchases currently in the
illicit market will transition to the legal market to avoid the inconvenience, stigma and risks of buying
unknown product through an unlicensed seller. Essentially, the easier, cheaper and more reliable it is for
consumers to access quality cannabis legally, the less reason they will have to purchase it through the
illicit market. That same study projects that 60% of those currently in the legal, medical cannabis market
will shift to the adult use market, for the reasons noted above. The availability of legal adult use cannabis
is also anticipated to produce a small 9.4% increase in consumer demand.
Given these figures, cities and counties should expect to see some increase in retail sales as these shifts
occur in the market. More significantly, the existence of legally permitted cannabis retailers will allow a
far greater portion of existing cannabis sales to be captured by legal (and tax -paying) retailers.
The shift from medical to adult use sales is not expected to change the overall volume of sales, only the
category into which they fall. Once the legal, adult use market is properly functioning, it is anticipated to
capture about 61.5% of the overall cannabis market in California. The legal medical cannabis market is
projected to decline to just 9% of the overall market. The other 29.5% is expected to remain in the illicit
market.
These numbers only apply to the 2.5 million pounds of cannabis that is consumed in California,
representing the potential size of the legal cannabis market. If 29.5% of the cannabis consumed in
California continues to come from the illicit market, then the size of the market for legal cannabis must
be adjusted downward accordingly. This would reduce the size of the legal market in California to 1.76
million pounds.
California has been issuing temporary licenses for commercial cannabis businesses since the beginning of
the year. As of July 30th, 2019, CDFA's CalCannabis division shows 2,619 active cultivation licenses, capable
of producing over 5.6 million pounds of cannabis per year. This amounts to over twice as much cannabis
as the State's legal buyers are anticipated to consume. Were the State to issue no more licenses, we
would still expect a failure rate of at least 40% in the next two years.

Explanation
Staff is requesting authorization to file a Proposition 68 Statewide Park
Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) application for the
Kimball Park Project. The grant request is for $7,738,273.
The SPP competitive grants will create new parks and new recreation
opportunities in critically underserved communities across California. Eligible
projects must involve either development or a combination of acquisition and
development to 1) create a new park, or 2) expand an existing park, or 3)
renovate and existing park.
The proposed project will renovate Kimball Park through the improvement of the
existing recreation center, shared use paths, solar lighting, dog park, dugout,
community garden, and basketball courts. The project will also harvest rainwater
by capturing runoff from buildings (See master plan and cost estimate attached).
In 2019, Kimball Park Master Plan Workshops occurred during the City's annual
Community Service Day event, the monthly Kimball Neighborhood Council
meeting and a youth design workshop. In 2021, staff held additional community
outreach at the MLK Community Center vaccination clinic, the Nutrition Center
senior meal program, and Kimball Park. A variety of methods were used to invite
residents to participate in the workshops, including social media, email blasts,
flyers, mailers, and incentives, such as food, refreshments, and kids activities. At
both the 2019 and 2021 workshops, approximately 101 people participated and
included 16 youth, 20 teens, 22 adults and 43 seniors. Participants identified the
following recreation, safety and beautification features as priorities for Kimball
Park:
• Recreation center with services and programs for all ages.
• Additional security lighting for safety and evening park usage.
• Resurface basketball court and add another basketball court to
accommodate high usage.
• Community education garden.
• Renovate baseball dugouts.
• Add a dog park so dogs and their owners can enjoy the park safely.
Council Resolution authorizing filing of the grant application is required.
Additionally, City Council delegates the authority to the City Manager or designee
to conduct all negotiations, sign and submit all documents, including, but not
limited to applications, agreements, amendments, and payment requests, which
may be necessary for the completion of the Grant Scope. If selected for funding,
City Council approves the establishment of an Engineering Grants Fund
Appropriation of $7,738,273 and corresponding revenue budget to allow for
reimbursement of eligible project expenditures through the SPP for the Kimball
Park Project.

If grant funding is awarded, staff will return to Council with a recommendation to
accept the grant. There is no local match required.

Explanation
Staff is requesting authorization to file a Proposition 68 Statewide Park
Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) application for the El
Toyon Park Project. The grant request is for $5,632,571.
The SPP competitive grants will create new parks and new recreation
opportunities in critically underserved communities across California. Eligible
projects must involve either development or a combination of acquisition and
development to 1) create a new park, or 2) expand an existing park, or 3)
renovate and existing park.
The proposed project will renovate El Toyon Park through the construction and/or
renovation of: new shared use paths, shade structures, sports lighting,
resurfacing the artificial turf sports field, dog park, new scoreboard, community
garden, children play structure, community event area, pickleball courts,
basketball courts, tennis courts, and park lighting. The project will also implement
Low -Impact Development (LID) to improve water quality from urban runoff by
installing a water quality basin with biofiltration (See master plan and cost
estimate attached).
In 2019, staff held six workshops with the community to design the El Toyon Park
Master Plan. Three workshops were held during the City's annual Community
Service Day event, the El Toyon Neighborhood Council meeting, and the Parks,
Recreation, and Senior Citizen Advisory Board meeting. In addition, staff hosted
three workshops at the El Toyon Recreation Center. A variety of methods were
used to invite residents to participate in the workshops, including social media,
email blasts, flyers, mailers, and incentives, such as food, refreshments, and kids
activities. At the 2019 workshops, 61 people participated with 7 youth, 13 teens,
28 adults and 13 seniors. Participants identified the following recreation, safety
and beautification features as priorities for El Toyon Park:
• Community garden with fruit trees, raised planter beds for vegetables, and
space for outdoor gardening classes.
• Playground with rubber surface, shade, swings, giant slide and rock
climbing wall (ages 5-12).
• Tot lot playground with rubber surface, slide, climber and activity panels
(ages 2-5).
• Resurface basketball courts so community has a safe space to play.
• Add 4 pickle ball courts with fencing.
• Renovate multipurpose field and lighting, create a turf warm-up area,
replace bleachers and scoreboard, and update the snack shack.
• Add trees and benches to the dog park.
• Improve lighting to deter illegal activity and make the park safer in the
evening.
• Fence and gate multipurpose field parking lot.
• Security cameras throughout the park to deter illegal activity.
210 of 236
• Improved entrance signage.
• Kiosks to post news, volunteer opportunities, programs, and events.
• Gazebos with barbeques and picnic areas for family gatherings and
celebrations.
• Public art near park entrances to create a fun and vibrant space and make
the park more interesting and inviting for the community.
Council Resolution authorizing filing of the grant application is required.
Additionally, City Council delegates the authority to the City Manager or designee
to conduct all negotiations, sign and submit all documents, including, but not
limited to applications, agreements, amendments, and payment requests, which
may be necessary for the completion of the Grant Scope. If selected for funding,
City Council approves the establishment of an Engineering Grants Fund
Appropriation of $5,632,571 and corresponding revenue budget to allow for
reimbursement of eligible project expenditures through the SPP for the El Toyon
Park Project.
If grant funding is awarded, staff will return to Council with a recommendation to
accept the grant. There is no local match required.

PREPARED BY: 'Martin Reeder, AIC11 ,(/1c DEPARTMENT: Co unr Development

EXPLANATION:
The project site is an undeveloped property at the northwest intersection of East 16th Street and "M"
Avenue. The property was approved for a 29-unit condominium development in February of 2019. The
original project included the closure of "M" Avenue in this location, as well as a General Plan Amendment
and Zone Change to change the zoning from Small Lot Residential (RS-2) to Medium Density Multi -Unit
Residential (RM-1).
All Tentative Subdivision Maps are approved with an expiration date of two years from approval unless a
time extension has been granted. No Final Map has been recorded for the approved project; therefore the
Tentative Subdivision Map would have expired on February 5, 2021. The applicant has filed a timely
request, as required by NCMC §17.04.070. The Subdivision Ordinance allows up to three time extensions
for a total of 36 months. The owner is requesting a three year extension of the Tentative Subdivision Map.
The applicant has stated that additional time is needed to complete final engineering, develop a
transplanting schedule for the habitat being displaced, and address financing changes due to COVID-19.

APPROVING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP FOR THE REZONING OF PROPERTY
LOCATED AT EAST 16TH STREET AND "M" AVENUE FROM
SMALL LOT RESIDENTIAL (RS-2) TO MEDIUM -DENSITY
MULTI -UNIT RESIDENTIAL (RM-1) IN ORDER TO
CONSTRUCT A 29-UNIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered said
certification at a duly advertised public hearing held on February 5, 2019, at which time the City
Council considered evidence; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report
provided for Case File No. 2017-04 GPA S, which is maintained by the City and incorporated
herein by reference, along with any other evidence presented at said hearing; and
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by
State law and City law; and
WHEREAS, the action hereby taken is found to be essential for the preservation
of the public health, safety, and general welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing held on
February 5, 2019, support the following findings:
FINDING FOR APPROVAL
OF THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
1 The proposed development is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policies LU-2.3, LU
4.3, and LU-7.1 because the area is vacant and prime for development. Having a
comprehensive residential project in this area will contribute to the City's housing needs.
The area is not homogenous in nature with regard to residential housing types — there
are single-family residences on larger lots located to the west, with a mix of medium to
higher -density properties to the south across East 16th Street. These lots are developed
with everything from duplexes, to triplexes, to apartments.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
OF THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP
1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific
plans, because the project is in compliance with all required density and zoning
requirements, provides additional home ownership opportunities consistent with the
General Plan and Housing Element, and meets all requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance (NCMC Title 17), including minimum lot size and dimension. There are no
specific plans in the area.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, because the 1.7-acre
property can accommodate the requested number of units within the limits for density and
lot coverage established by the General Plan and Land Use Code.
ATTACHMENT 1
219 of 236
Resolution No. 2019 —15
February 5, 2019
Page Two
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, because the
proposed multi -family residential development, at a density of 17 units per acre, is less than
the 23 units per acre allowed in the Medium -Density Multi -Unit Residential (RM-1) zone,
and the proposed inflll development increases the available housing units in the City.
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife, or
their habitat, because the property is surrounded by urban development and there are no
bodies of water present on -site. While there is plant habitat on site in the form of native and
non-native grassland, San Diego Ambrosia, and onsite drainage, the Mitigated Negative
Declaration for this project provides for mitigation that will reduce potential impacts to a
level of less than significance.
5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems, because the property is currently vacant and
surrounded by existing urban development. In addition, the land use and zoning
designations as proposed allow for the density requested, which has been analyzed as part
of the Mitigated Negative Declaration associated with this project.
6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within
the proposed subdivision, because no such easements exist or would be affected by the
proposed development.
7. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer
system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California
Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of
the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6, because the project is
required to install sewerage systems that meet current requirements for sewage disposal
by the Conditions of Approval of this permit.
8. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its effect
on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service
needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources, the project will
provide twenty-nine new homeownership opportunities, which is consistent with and
encouraged by the City's Housing Element.
9. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural
heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local
climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement
requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage, because the
landscape plan submitted as part of the proposal provides in excess of the required
common open space area for such developments. All new construction proposed will be in
compliance with the California Building Code, which takes such factors in to consideration.
