Council introduces ordinances to update Brentwood cannabis code, adopts new administrative fine resolution
Summary
Staff proposed repealing and replacing Brentwood Municipal Code chapters 9.50 and 17.780 to align with recent state law (SB 1186; AB 1684), preserve the city’s commercial cannabis ban to the extent permitted, and adopt an administrative citation fine structure; council closed the public hearing and approved introduction/waiver and a related resolution.
Ken Murphy, the chief building official, told the council the draft ordinance package would repeal and replace two chapters of the Brentwood Municipal Code regulating cannabis facilities and cultivation to conform with recent state law changes. He said "Commercial cannabis facilities have been prohibited in Brentwood since 2006" and explained that state bills SB 1186 and AB 1684 changed delivery and fine‑structure rules that required code updates.
Murphy said the draft ordinance retains the city’s ban on commercial cannabis activity "to the extent possible by state law," while clarifying enforcement tools and immediate fine amounts allowed under the updated state framework. After closing the public hearing with no speakers, council voted to introduce and waive the first readings of both ordinances and adopted a resolution to establish administrative citation fines consistent with the new code structure.
