SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
ORDINANCE NO._______________
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AMENDINGCHAPTER 19.02 OF THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE TO AFFIRM PERMISSIVE ZONING
PRINCIPLES AND TO CLARIFY THAT USES
PROHIBITED ELSEWHERE IN THE MUNICIPAL CODE
ARE ALSO PROHIBITED LANDUSES
WHEREAS, the impetus for this subject amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 19.02
stems from the state laws governing medical marijuana; and
WHEREAS,on October 9, 2015, Governor Jerry Brown signed the “Medical Marijuana
Regulation and Safety Act” (the “Act”), which is comprised of the state legislative bills known
as AB 243, AB 266, and SB 643, into law; and
WHEREAS, the Act becomes effective January 1, 2016 and contains provisions that
govern the cultivating, processing, transporting, testing, and distributing of medical cannabis
(i.e., marijuana) to qualified patients; and
WHEREAS, the Act states that a local government that wishes to prevent marijuana
cultivation, as defined in the Business and Professions Code section 19300.5(l), must have aland
use regulation or ordinance regulating or prohibiting the cultivation of marijuana, either
expressly or otherwise under the principles of permissive zoning, prior to March 1, 2016 to retain
jurisdiction over such cultivation (Health and Safety Code 11362.777(c)(4)); and
WHEREAS, the Chula Vista Municipal Code expressly prohibits the cultivation of
medical marijuana in Title 5, section 5.66.020; and
WHEREAS, the Chula Vista Municipal Code in Title 19 operates as a permissive zoning
code, whereby uses not expressly permitted are prohibited; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the state CEQA Guidelines because
it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to the CEQA. In addition,
and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of Development Services has also determined
that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment;
therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not
subject to the CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required; and
WHEREAS,the Planning Commission previously held a public hearing on this matter
and recommends that the City Council affirm permissive zoning principles and clarify that uses
prohibited elsewhere in the Municipal Code are also prohibited land uses; and
ΑΏΐΕȃΏΑȃΏΑ !¦¤£ Packet0 ¦¤ 16
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services set the time and place for a public
hearing on the Amendment to Chapter19.02, and notice of the public hearing, together with its
purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the Cityat least 10
days prior to the public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista hereby makes the following findings:
Section I.
1.That section 19.08.020 of the Municipal Code currently declares unlawful any land
usesnot permitted in the City of Chula Vista, as such, the City Council findsand
affirmsthat the City’s Zoning Code has and continues to operate as a permissive
zoning code. Therefore, the City Council desires to enact an ordinance amending
Municipal Code Chapter 19.02 to affirm and make clear that Title 19 operates under
permissive zoning principles and that any use not permitted, including the cultivation
of marijuana, is prohibited.
2.That while cultivation of marijuana is currently prohibited under the City’s
permissive zoning regimen and under Chapter 5.66 of the City’s Municipal Code, the
City Council desires to amend Chapter 19.02to make clear that any action prohibited
elsewhere in the Municipal Code, which would include the cultivation of medical
marijuana under Chapter 5.66, is also prohibited as a land use under Title 19.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTADOES FURTHER ORDAIN
as follows:
SectionII.
That Chapter 19.02 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as
follows:
Chapter 19.02 –General Provisions
19.02.070 Permissive Zoning Principle
The provisions of this title are governedby the principles of permissive zoning, whereby
any use not permitted is prohibited.
19.02.080Actions Prohibited Elsewhere In Code
Actions prohibited elsewhere in this code are also prohibited as land uses under this Title.
Section III.Severability
If any portion of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is for

business’s time and cost of implementing the voluntary measures. The City may also
provide contact information for the local utilities’ account and program staff and utility-
