City Council — 2021-11-09

May we have the roll call please scale.

There were none in the signup list but I'll confirm that with the city clerk. Yeah, where there any commissioners signed up.

Okay, thank you. All right, we'll move on to public communication. First we have Ron Solorzano. Thank you.

Alright. Thank you so much members of council my name is Ron Solorzano and I am the regional librarian here for the Ojai Valley. Tonight I wanted to give you another update on the operations at the Ojai Library This part's a recap, or reminder. The Ojai Library is currently open for our full seven-day-a-week schedule. Customers are able to enter the library, access our collection and more and more of our typical programming is returning to meeting in person.

Our library continues to comply with all state and county guidelines relating to COVID safety which means that face coverings are currently required for all customers who are visiting our building. Tonight, I'm particularly excited to share with you all that the Ojai Library has begun collaborating with the Ojai Community Farmer's Market to deliver a storytime program at the farmer's market on the second Thursday of every month.

While we will not be holding this program in November because the second Thursday falls on Veterans Day, we will resume our visits in December and we are so happy to be working with the folks out there. The storytime, I believe takes place at 330 out there at the farmer's market. Right now, we're also running our online fall reading challenge for our young readers. The challenge will run through December 17th and kids can log their minutes read online as they meet their goals, they can become eligible for prizes which they can then pick up at the library.

We're also offering our pause for reading therapy dog program on Wednesday afternoons Family STEAM outdoor activities for children ages five and up on the first Wednesday afternoon of every month. We have an outdoor story time at Miners Oaks Elementary School, presented by our mobile library that's every Friday at 1030am. And we have our parent and child together classes going on at the Oak View Library every Tuesday morning.

And then of course the Ohio libraries own homework center is back in operation and is open Monday through Thursday after school. On the adult side we have, of course our ukulele club which continues to meet on Monday mornings at 10am. We have the Shakespeare Salon meeting in the evenings on the first and third Monday of the month, and the Ojai Poetry Series meeting on the third Tuesday of each month in the evening. If you want more information on any of these programs, you can contact the library or you can visit our website at www.vencolibrary.org And that's all that I have for right now so thank you so much for your time. Please reach out to me if you have any questions at all. Thank you.

Thank you, Ron. Wow, lots going on. Yeah. You deserve a round of applause.

Keep it going, Ron, keep it going. It's great.

Any public comment on Zoom, Gail? None. OK, great. All right, we'll move on to the consent calendar. A motion to approve everything?

Mayor Stixx? Yes. I would like to pull item F and L for comments.

OK. All right.

And I would move to approve everything else. Okay, second.

Okay. All in favor. All right. Excellent. Okay for item f. Are there any public comments on that Gail.

No public

comments.

We have the, Mayor we have the chair of the HRC here and historic, excuse me HPC Historic Preservation Commission. And he I just thought it appropriate that he come forward and just make a few, a couple short comments about our nominees. And then after we ratify there'll be a formal presentation for the award so that would be my request that we invite Mr Atkins forward.

Excellent. Thank you.

Hello Council, I did fill out a blue card. Can you hear me okay? Am I coming through? I'm happy to be here representing the Historic Preservation Commission, that would be my commission comment for the night. This is perhaps the most one of the more pleasant meetings that I enjoy coming to council each year and that is when we're presenting our historic awards to the recipients that are being recommended tonight to the City Council.

We have four individuals. Sometimes people wonder why do you do so many? We started doing oral history interviews back in 2012, started with one of our nominees. Our goal is to record them before we can't. So we're glad to take the opportunity to recognize people when we can and share that with them especially when I saw the budget tonight was only $55 a plaque.

You know, I could support that.

You need a donation just ask.

There we go. So first person I'd like to mention briefly is Claire Hill. Some people think of Claire as the spouse, the wife of Terry Hill. Those of us that know Claire Hill think of Terry as the husband of Claire Hill. Claire has done quite a bit of things she is supportive of her husband Terry Hill, I know them well. Know them both. They're wonderful people. She has also as it notes been on the museum.

One quirky thing that people may not know we went out to visit Westway's property that's at 700 San Antonio normal and we had a opportunity to go and tour the facility while Terry was non ambulatory at the time so Claire drove he and Terry out. Terry stayed outside in the car. Claire did the tour And kept coming out and reporting to Terry and asking if she had gotten all the questions answered that she asked him to.

Mighty fine job. The other person, another person, and these are for annual awards, another person we recognize is Dwayne Bauer. It says in there one of the things we're recognizing him for is his preservation of historic properties. Uniquely those historic properties are in the form of automobiles, trucks, vans anything that Bauer family has ever owned they have as well as other things. Most importantly is and you saw this a couple years ago when it was debuted is the carriage that was used by Sadie Sewell that now has been fully restored after being in storage for a number of years. Also, you all know when you come down to see the jail, you'll see the mock-up of the Ojai police car. You may not know that Edsel was actually it and his sister Edsel were actually sold here in Ojai when they were brand new.

And the person that bought that car kept it for a couple of years then traded in. They called Dwayne and said hey, it's available would you like it? Thank goodness. So they are being recognized for annual awards. Alan Raines, again, Alan Raines when we started in 2012 was our first oral history interview that we've conducted. I've been at all of them. We've done about 35 to 45 since then and it's wonderful always to see Alan Raines.

You need to know what he's being recognized for just take a walk in the arcade. And think about everything that's radiated from Alan Raines and his lovely wife. And last of all, and Alan Raines is being recognized for Lifetime Achievement Award or other nominee for the Lifetime Achievement Award is Cricket Twitchell. I asked, Cricket is the one that brought The Walking Tour to Ojai.

And it happened that she happened to hop on a walking tour in Savannah, Georgia Been in Savannah, Georgia. That's a lovely place to steal historical things from. And so she brought that walking tour to Ojai and has kind of overseen that. We are currently talking in the museum about hoping to get that walking tour back together again. So that's wonderful. So again, those are the four people that the Historic Preservation Commission has recommended for these awards.

If they are ratified tonight then I will contact each of them tomorrow to let them know that that has taken place They're very appreciative of the recognition they've received so far and also tell them that I'll be staying in tune with the two of you or with the council as to when the awards will take place. Again, I want to thank Councilman Wyrick for polling this. I know that he talked to Mayor Sticks in making this happen and even James was jumping in on emails that were going back and forth yesterday. So again, thank you very much.

Ryan, on these oral interviews that you said you started with Alan Raines. Where are they archived?

They are currently archived in two locations. One is on rather large terabyte-sized drives that I have at home. That's where I download them first of all when I come home with the video equipment and then they're now uploaded onto Dropbox. And Dropbox is an account I set up for the museum

For the museum?

Yes.

Okay, so that's actually the only place that someone could access them is to go through the museum. I'm just wondering if there's a way of sharing those with our apparatus displaying them within the city. So again, I think these interviews are incredible and important and you can't bogart them. You've got to share them.

Well, there was a catch. Originally when they were set up and when we shared with people, we told them you're free to come and watch those in the library at the Ojai Valley Museum. Kind of a little bit of a catch there. However, you know we do have a heart so when these folks have passed away. I usually get in contact with the family and ask them if they'd like to copy and I put that on a flash drive and get it

well yeah you know what happens every time that every time that we do a landmark we get this. Dictionary, or not dictionary but pictionary of that site. And it's there's just so much information in it. And it just seems like you know when we're channel surfing on the weekend and like this weekend I watched a lot of the planning session. It just seems like while we're doing that and all of a sudden we just come across someone being interviewed as a One of our great citizens. It just seemed to be a great opportunity to actually take 10, five minutes and hear and listen and remember.

Randy I agree with you 100% and I'm very happy to work with James. I do a lot of family history the best archive for family history is sharing it And so I'm all about sharing in all of it. And these are key, important and back stories. So I'm sure you appreciate that.

Thank you.

Now

I'm going to move approval, move a ratification. Thank you.

And I'd like to say thank you, Brian and congratulations to all the nominees for preserving our history and supporting our town. We learned through the stories so thank you.

That's just ratification of this item online.

Okay. All right,

or a mayor I might suggest completing the consent calendar then taking the comment.

All right, let's move on to I

know,

actually, sorry, the reason I'm bringing up bill is I just want us to start thinking about something that I previously alluded to. And that is that. More and more voices are repeating the idea that, you know, how do we transition from pandemic to endemic? I looked up a little—I spent a little bit of time. The first person I saw that mentioned that this virus will never be eradicated was Dr. Fauci in July of 2020 The WHO had a press conference in September of this year where they had a number of people at the press conference saying, this is something we're going to have to learn to live with. It's going to be circulating to give a quote, I think this virus is here to stay with us and it will evolve like influenza pandemic viruses that will evolve to become one of the other viruses that affects us.

I could go on for citing other authorities and point out that why a respiratory virus is not like smallpox or measles or polio, it's going to become something permanently part of the human ecology. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't, if it's something that's going to be with us. What are the benchmarks? What are the criteria that we will use for saying okay you can't be...I don't think anybody believes that we're going to be in a permanent status of local emergency at some point when are we going to make the transition of not continuing the existence of a local emergency because it's something that we are, it's gonna be with us forever basically.

I'm not saying the criteria is... I don't even know what the criteria would be but I think it's important to start to think about as we transition from pandemic to endemic which is what the global health authorities are saying we're doing right now At what point do we incorporate the public policy implication of that? Which is to move from emergency status to a managed status where we have learned to live with it. And what would be the criteria in the city of Ojai for whether or not we're gonna continue with the local emergency designation, which I would contend the overwhelming evidence is clear It's unless we want to be in a local emergency forever, unless we want to wait for eradication.

We need to think about what that criteria would be and that's all I wanted to say.

I have a statement, then I have a question of the city manager. According to California law, a local health emergency can only be called if there is an imminent and proximate threat of an introduction of an infectious disease. In other words, an emergency according to how I understand it is immediate and at hand. And now we're Going into the toward the end of the second year, I believe. So when I read the ordinance that we're asked to adopt, there's a number of statements that my research, you know, I'm not in agreement but I want to know are we forced to adopt this in order to get the funding?

That to make up for the things that happened, or is it even an option. If some count if we didn't want to adopt it as what can you help the public to understand the fight the finances and the reason for.

Yeah,

yes.

Yes thank you for the question. So for us a couple of points up front so the federal government state government and the county of Ventura all have health orders in place or have declared emergencies and then the county of Ventura still has been issuing and has a health order in place requiring masks through We expect through the end of the year. And so, for us when we are looking at whether to weather when I'm looking at whether to recommend extending the city's declaration, I'm looking at those factors I'm looking at Possibility that the county or the state issues orders over the holidays, as they did last year people probably remember there were you know different orders that limited what businesses can do. And we had to act quickly to allow businesses to move outdoors using our emergency powers.

So I think as far as like what, what would we expect Why would we extend this order within the city? I think there's really three main reasons. One, as you mentioned, as part of being in a declared emergency, we still are tabulating all expenses related to the emergency and we're still eligible for potentially for funding for all of those expenses. So if we were to end the emergency, we would not be eligible for those any further.

We still, like I said with health orders in place from the county there's still a potential of us needing to do something in response to those if businesses were shut down or businesses are you know indoor business was shut down. And then there was a third one that I that I. Oh yeah, we have a couple We've ended all of our executive orders but there are a couple of programs in place that are only in place because of our emergency power at this point which is the outdoor dining, the outdoor recreation programs.

So if we were to end our emergency order those programs would also be in jeopardy so for us it's just about allowing us to be able to respond and be eligible for for the funding and respond to the needs of the community based on the orders that come out from the state So for that reason, we're recommending continuing the declaration at this time. I

have one more question and another point. I think it's important for the public to understand and many people do understand that it's the emergency order Correct me if I'm wrong, that justifies what some people consider excessive mandates. It's the emergency that justifies. That's the justification. But my question is this comes before us every 60 days, correct? Every 60 days. Yes. And so is this resolution the same for every city With the wording basically the same, are we allowed to change the wording? Not this time of course but in the future without jeopardizing funding or does it have to be exactly like this?

The funding is tied to the status not to the wording. Cities are all relatively similar but the council's not required. A you always have a choice nothing is forced period and B The recommendation regarding funding and the outdoor programs can be maintained with the status being continued. The language of the resolution could be modified, and I would add as a final comment to add to the City Manager's comments The programs that exist by the emergency powers right now could be modified with some time to figure out how to do so, to exist other than the emergency power. For example, outdoor dining doesn't have to exist solely by the emergency powers. That could exist under regular order but we couldn't do that tonight. Hence the recommendation for an orderly shift if the desire is to shift away from the extensions.

Okay thank you for those clarifications.

You know, this is one of those issues that I think I was reading today that a teacher was having a heated discussion at one of the middle schools here in town. And ultimately she ended up losing her job over this discussion and other things. So I think we need to understand that there's... I listened to Bill, I think he's a bright guy and I listened to Suze, I think she's a smart woman but We're at 75% in this county of all of us receiving the majority of our shots. So we're safe because of what we've done.

And so contrary to, I'm just gonna push back a little. If you look at the Inland Empire, you look at San Bernardino County, you look at some of these areas that haven't reached the level that we have. They're not as safe as we are and therefore there's reasons to keep things like this in place. So I'm willing to have this discussion. I'm even willing to agendize this and actually get more information but we're safe for a reason. We're safe because of what we did We're safe because of how we acted.

So, we can have this dialogue but we gotta remember what we are and who we are and what we've overcome. And that's because of the directions that we've taken as a community. Now there's some of us that disagree with that. You know what? That's okay. We can disagree. But I don't think we're just not gonna have a one-sided discussion on this. There's a lot of unsafe communities here in California, we happen to be this county one of the safest and the reason is because of the actions that we took. So you guys can see where I'm at on this, We need to do whatever we need to do, to make sure that we as a community are as safe as we can possibly be.

Yeah just to reiterate what I'm trying to get at Randy is let's logically think of the implication of moving from, you know, emergency orders that are based on a definition of pandemic which inherently implies eradication as possible to a situation where we know at least it seems to be developing that we understand that eradication is not possible. And just raising the issue What are the criteria? Remember I used the word, what are the criteria for returning to regular order. That's the question I raised.

Well as I'm saying agendize it and let's have that discussion.

I'd just like to add one point because the word endemic means that the virus continues within a geographical area and the impact is manageable And it's not manageable at this point. As of yesterday, we had 72,000 cases per day in the U.S., 47 people, 47,000 people in the hospital and 1,200 deaths. And Dr. Fauci said that we haven't controlled 10,000 cases per day so we still have a far, we have a lot you know that's a big distance and with uh the weather changing people going inside and there'll be more travel during the holidays We're still in an emergency, I feel.

I just asked about thinking about criteria.

Yeah, I agree and moving forward for sure. Do we need a vote on this?

Yes.

Okay. We

have a motion on it so move to approve.

Yep okay roll call please Gail.

We need a motion. I was Council Member Haney, is that a motion? And then is there a second?

I'll second

Okay,

thank you. All right we'll move on to a discussion item and just a reminder that in terms of protocols for efficiency let's have questions from staff and we'll save our comments until after the public comments and then just make sure that all deliberation goes through the chair. Okay so we'll move on to number two discussion item review of cannabis regulations.

Go ahead James thank you.

Yes thank you We're going to pull up just a brief presentation on this item. But I did want to note for those in attendance, we know last meeting it was hard for people to see the slides so we do have printouts of the slides on the stage here as well. We

can I interrupt for one second. I'm sorry we had, we had two public comments that were late. Can we do those right now? Sure. Sorry. First Debra Moe and then Chet Hilders.

Good evening, Deborah Moe Ojai forever. I am here to complain about our roads. I want to know where our gas taxes are going, our roads are atrocious here in Ojai. I'm working with some people from the Arbolada and from Midtown on this, and it seems that It comes up and then it goes away. Comes up on our council, and then it goes away. And the potholes are not going away. The roads are not getting any better.

I live next to a woman that is in a wheelchair and got stuck in a crevice so to speak. And I know that California is number one in the nation For high gas tax, we have the highest of $1.19 I read today and where's that money being spent? I'm just curious, I'm concerned my car hates these streets and they don't seem to be getting any better so that's my gripe And I want to put it out there.

I'm working with the team to go farther. Thank you.

Thank you, Deborah.

Mayor I can just know quickly, we brought the pavement management plan process to Council a couple months ago that is being finalized over the next month or so with the plan to pave early 2022. So we're on it, we were on a two year paving cycle. We were do end of this year, early next year for the paving and then we will be moving to an annual paving cycle from there.

Now I want to ask, are there certain...

I do want to just point out for the public comment it's not intended to be a back and

forth.

So you can contact my office though or you can email me at vega at ohio.ca.gov

Mr. Summers would it be okay for Mr Vega to just say Of the total amount of we budgeted for the pavement pro overlay program what percentage comes from gas tax from the state. Yes, of course brief information like that would be fun

yeah so for Ojai we don't get as much as I think people assume from gas techs we get about $200,000 a year and our total

overlay budgets around one point

One point this year we're hoping to get to about 1.1,

1.2 roughly 10% or less comes from the gas tax and the rest is from our internal budgeting.

Right? Correct.

And the rest of the gas taxes flows to the county, the state County Transportation Commission and other governments.

Thank you. All right, Chad Hilgers

Thank you, thank you everybody long time no see. Thank you staff. I just want to read this into the record but I've had a nuisance that's been plaguing me and my property for quite some time. Some of you are aware of this, but I'm here to talk about an ongoing nuisance on my property over this past weekend my tenant on my property held an unpermitted illegal two day wedding event on my property for over 100 people again Complete with temporary kitchen, amplified music, lighting and tents. A full bar inside on my property and a serve yourself beer and wine trailer parked on the street in only one exit five feet wide for 100 people.

The driveway was blocked with a kitchen and tents. What was lacking was any kind of permit, insurance, ABC permit to serve alcohol on the street, public safety plan or emergency vehicle access. There was no oversight or permission from me, the owner of the property or the city manager, police department, fire department code compliance as required by a city issued conditional use permit or temporary use permit.

Zero fees paid to the city for a $30,000 to $40,000 wedding. None of us would know the extent of the health and safety violations because the events are unpermitted and illegal. My tenant has held events here recently and myself and others have filed complaints formally with the city and nothing has been done. Why? It has been brought to my attention that another 100 plus person event will occur this Thursday on the 11th on my property.

If there were an incident that occurred during one of these events, the property owner would be sued. That's me. Then the property owner, me, would sue the city for allowing this nuisance to continue. The illegal events pose a potentially dangerous situation with which the city has known about for years, yet the nuisance continues unabated. Why? I've been threatened by my tenant's attorney to stay away from my own property.

It's time for action. I'm asking the council to direct staff to write a letter acknowledging and addressing past unpermitted events, and that future unpermitted events must cease. Deliver signed copies of the letter to my tenant and myself. I'm also asking the city manager to direct code enforcement and the sheriff to stop the illegal event from happening on this Thursday, the 11th.

This is all very, very disrespectful to all the people you asked to

play by the rules. Thank you. And here I'll ask of course the city council to refrain from any comment as the matter is plainly subjective various review and assessment by the city's code enforcement staff regarding the past and alleged future events. And I believe is also subject litigation between the property owner, and the tenant, which the city is not a party to in desires to stay out of this.

I'll ask the council not comment. Thank you.

Okay, thank you. Thank you, Chad.

Prior to moving forward, can we acknowledge that these are at the front of the stage? Because this is what Jameson is presenting and I was wondering how we were going to play with these. But folks if you don't have one, you should get one and it'll help you follow along with the discussions that are moving forward. Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you. Please come help yourself. All right, we'll move on to number two. James take it away please thank you.

Yes, I'm going to be pulling up presentations that packet at the front that's available actually has a few presentations for tonight that most of them we will keep brief. And so feel free to take one. The slide two in that packet is the slide relevant to this item. This item can be very complicated but I'm going to try to keep it simple. We, City Council spoke at the August 10 meeting about and provided staff direction to review the current cannabis regulations and program and identify next or identify some options For potential changes that Council would then review and provide further direction on. So, this report, it gets into the weeds somewhat but the intent of the report is to give Council the option to identify which items to proceed with.

And so there were a few basic questions and I'll go through them fairly quickly and then we can dig in as much as, as council desires but the first question was whether to allow the expansion for the cannabis dispensaries from current hours to later hours. Currently the city limits the cannabis dispensary hours to 8am to 7pm. The, so staff research that issue and identified that state law allows operation up until 10pm. So this item is one item that actually can be addressed tonight if I if if Council desires.

We could modify those hours, simply by modifying the regulations so Council tonight could direct staff to do to do so. So that action can be taken tonight. The dispensaries have indicated they are interested in expanding ours, particularly during the holidays so we wanted to call that one out first Other questions or other requests that we looked into, for the most part require an ordinance or potentially planning commission review. So the other questions that staff looked into are investigated were whether to allow retail dispensaries to move out of the current m one MPD zones and into additional zones with the city.

The staff report notes, there's several ways that can be done. Most of them would require an ordinance that would modify our zoning standards or create an overlay. So because it requires an ordinance, it would be something we could not do tonight but council can direct us to bring an ordinance forward if most likely if we drafted it and modified the zoning ordinance we would also be required to go through a planning commission review process An additional question that staff investigated whether we could allow on site consumption of edibles topicals and or vapes in dispensaries, or to allow onsite consumption lounges.

And so, and whether or not those would also be in the m one MPD are potentially allowed and other zones. Similar to the last item, it would require an ordinance to modify our zoning or to allow a type 10 retailer license. We also would be required to modify our city code because our current city code prohibits any sort of smoking in public places so we'd have to modify Code if Council chose to lift that for, for a potential on site consumption or a consumption lounge.

Last whether to allow limited size indoor nursery only cultivation of immature plants seedlings are seeds to allow residents to grow their own indoor and grow their own for personal use which by our code is required to be grown indoors. So that, as well would require an ordinance to approve a type four license type. And then we would also recommend that the city council identify any zones conditions or mitigation efforts such as smell potential requirements to limit smell.

And so that can also be done but also requires an ordinance. So, in summary, the action that can be taken tonight is we could expand hours of council desires. The additional actions, we have a lot of analysis in the report but we're asking for council direction whether to actually move forward and prepare an ordinance for any of those additional requests. And so with that I'm happy to answer any questions.

I have two questions one's a simple one what's the age is it 18 or 21 to purchase cannabis product? Do we know?

If I remember correctly, it's 21 with an exception for medical patients that can go lower with the doctor recommendation. But adult use is 21.

Yeah. And is there anything below that? So is there a cut off on the age below that or can a 15 or 14 year old with the doctors no go get

cannabis? The parent of a minor can buy it for the minor's use with the doctor's note, not the minor themselves. There is an absolute limit in the stores of 18.

Okay, so it'd be 18. Okay and then my second question is the we're talking about overlay zones and you citing here on two of two overlay zones give cities increased flexibility to address specific issues and solve specific problems. What issue do we have with cannabis here? And what specifically is the problem or what are we trying to solve here?

So we

like this is a, this is a cannabis owner driven requests not a citizen driven request so I'm just wondering if you can respond to that.

Yeah. And what we mean by specific issue. So let me answer the first part and then I think there's a second answer but Part of the original request was asking whether the city would consider expanding the dispensaries or potentially a consumption lounge to the C-1 zone. But the C 1 zone, opening it up to the c one zone may create other unintended issues so when we reviewed That possibility, we identified like for example you know schools that are very close to certain parts of the C1 zone. So what we mean when we say the overlay can help solve specific problems or issues is we could identify a specific area of the c one that would not have those issues. And so the, we mentioned in the report, you know, we did some initial review and there To make sure that these are away from schools and, you know, away from the core arcade.

That this could be... We could identify an overlay zone that would be east of Fulton Street in the C-1. And so instead of saying it's allowed in the C- 1, it's allowed east of Fulton Street in the C one. And so that's an option as far as the request. Yes I would say, you know we reach We had, we had been contacted by the different cannabis businesses with asking questions about if the city would be open to certain sorts of expansion.

We then followed up and got clarity on what they were looking for I would say it is for us, we have not received a lot of requests other other than from those businesses.

So again, this isn't a citizen driven. This is business-driven.

Yeah not from the staff perspective I guess as council members if you're hearing otherwise. Okay thank you. Three quick questions.

As I recall and confirm this if it's correct or not there were many comments in a general plan hearing of citizens concerned that we were allowing the manufacturing M1 MPD zone to be transformed away from its intended purpose, in particular creeping retail establishments? Yes. I recall many. Am I correct in that memory?

Yes, that's true and then that's also going to be the focus of our next general plan Meeting in January is going to be on. We're looking at particular areas that there's a lot of questions or comments on and the biggest one right now is Bryant circle

had to do within the, you know, in terms of being able to diversify our economy away from, you know, and preserving this area for that opportunity so I just want to bring that up. Councilman Hank because I think in that respect there were concerns of a generic nature. regarding the creeping retail components of this zone. Second of all, help me get clear. In the second bullet there's a statement currently the city's regulations and our code limits cannabis uses to M1 Empty Zone by the OMC for manufacturing and microbusiness and by regulations for other uses.

What exactly are those other uses that can be changed by regulation and don't need code change?
