City staff also mapped potential sites for delivery -only retail facilities, if the City decided to implement a wider prohibition, such as a 1,000' radius from youth serving facilities. That map, Attachment G, removes about 30 parcels from the potential site list. In addition, the eventual location of a licensed cannabis business would depend on overall availability, logistics such as finding the right size and type of facility, a willing landlord, and a competitively priced space. Market data illustrates that delivery -only facilities would require anywhere from 1,000-3,000 square footage. 4. Phase IV — Storefront Retail — Could integrate with Phase 111 in January or July 2019 In the final proposed phase, the City could expand regulations to allow "storefront" retail cannabis businesses. As is the case with delivery -only retail business, the City has broad discretion regarding where storefront retail cannabis businesses can locate. The State level radius restrictions noted above would still apply, and the City may expand that radius. As a starting point, City staff used traditional commercial areas, plus the state level 600' radius restriction, for the allowed locations in the potential locations map (Attachment F). Attachment G shows the available storefront retail sites, if the City decided to implement the 1,000' radius requirement. This expanded radius would remove about 200 parcels from the potential site list. All changes to the zoning code require both Planning Commission and City Council review. A more detailed analysis would be done at that time, which examines potential impacts of certain land -use decisions. Although this report is currently showing Phases III and IV as distinct phases, Phases III and IV could potentially happen concurrently. In addition, given this is a new industry, staff may recommend other land uses be included in this phased approach, if more information is known at that time. Revenue Potential in Requlatinq Cannabis The City has a few options for instituting regulatory fees and taxes on cannabis sales to cover costs associated with regulation and to generate revenue. Most fees and taxes will take time to develop and approve and are recommended for implementation in the later phases. 1. Business License Tax As part of Phase II, the City proposes to require all cannabis businesses delivering to Redwood City to obtain a City business license. The base business tax for cannabis businesses would be the same as for other registered businesses in the City — the current annual base tax is $63 plus $42 per O]
