CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
RESOLUTION NO. 23- 7389
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE CITY MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO ESTABLISH
A CANNABIS DELIVERY PERMIT APPLICATION FEE AND ESTABLISHING
THE RATE OF FINE(S) FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION UNDER
HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 1.10.040 RELATED TO
CANNABIS DELIVERY
Whereas, at its September 13, 2022 meeting, City Council adopted an
ordinance to add Chapter 5.80 to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, to allow
cannabis delivery into the City from businesses located outside the City, and to
amend Section 1.10.040 to add that violations are subject to administrative
penalty procedures;
Whereas, Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 5.80 stipulates that an
application shall be accompanied by an application fee adopted by resolution
of the City Council;
Whereas, staff calculated the actual time and cost associated with the
processing of a cannabis delivery permits application to ensure full cost
recovery for providing the service; and
Whereas, as a penalty designed to encourage and obtain compliance,
fines are not based on cost recovery but rather set at an amount that would
deter non-compliant activities.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Staff recommends City Council amend the City’s Master Fee
Schedule to establish a Cannabis Delivery Permit Application Fee at the rate of
$702; and
SECTION 2. Staff recommends City Council establish the rate of fine(s) for
an administrative citation under Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 1.10.040
related to cannabis delivery at $20,000 per occurrence and authorize the City
Manager to approve a waiver for a first-time offense if a true and complete
application for a lawful permit is made by the violating business operator.
