This Council proposition would regulate commercial cannabis activities by establishing a regulatory license process allowing for discretionary approval.

Applicants who are granted licenses would also have to pay a regulatory fee to cover the costs of enforcement of the provisions of the proposition. Commercial Cannabis Activities, except Dispensaries, would be:

If this Council measure and either or both of the initiative measures are approved by a majority of the voters, only the measure that receives the most votes will become effective. Furthermore, if the Council measure is approved, the Council would be authorized to amend or repeal the measure without voter approval. This measure must be approved by a majority of the voters and must receive a higher number of votes than the competing measures. A "yes" vote is a vote in favor of adopting the City proposition to regulate commercial cannabis activities. A "no" vote is a vote against permitting and regulating commercial cannabis activities in the City of San Bernardino.[2] |
