# Law and Legislation Committee 2/18/2020

The City of Sacramento Law and Legislation Committee met on February 18, 2020. The committee unanimously advanced an ordinance allowing storefront cannabis dispensaries in the shopping center (SC) zone; proposed dispensaries in planned unit developments would also require a PUD guidelines amendment. An ordinance to streamline planning entitlements was sent back to the Planning Commission for further review. A public speaker questioned the status of funding for cannabis social equity, but no funding decision was made. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.

The committee discussed a proposed restriction on all leaf-blower use when the air quality index is above 100. Members asked staff to return with a more comprehensive proposal covering education, enforcement, funding, incentives for electric equipment, and stakeholder input; the discussion did not result in a final ordinance vote. Members also reviewed a proposed ordinance to protect critical infrastructure and wildfire-risk areas, including levees, bridges, utilities, and public facilities. The transcript does not clearly capture the final action or vote on that item.
