ATTY/ORD.473/RC CANNABIS TAX ORDINANCE REV: 07-18-18 VR Page 15 of 16 application of this Article to any other person or circumstance and, to that end, the provisions hereof are severable. Sec. 32.831 Remedies cumulative. All remedies and penalties prescribed by this Article or which are available under any other provision of the Redwood City Municipal Code and any other provision of law or equity are cumulative. The use of one or more remedies by the City shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Article. Sec. 32.832 Amendment or repeal. This Article may be repealed or amended by the City Council without a vote of the people to the extent allowed by law. However, as required by Article XIII C of the California Constitution, voter approval is required for any amendment that would increase the rate of any tax levied pursuant to this Article beyond the maximum rate of ten percent (10%) of gross receipts. The people of the City of Redwood City affirm that the following actions shall not constitute an increase of the rate of a tax: A. The restoration or adjustment of the rate of the tax to a rate that is no higher than the maximum rate of ten percent (10%) of gross receipts set by this Article, if the City Council has acted to reduce the rate of the tax or incrementally implement an increase authorized by this Article; B. An action that interprets or clarifies the methodology of the tax, or any definition applicable to the tax, so long as interpretation or clarification (even if contrary to some prior interpretation or clarification) is not inconsistent with the language of this Article; or C. The collection of the tax imposed by this Article even if the City had, for some period of time, failed to collect the tax. Section 3. The adoption of this Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4) provides that the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment are not projects subject to the requirements of CEQA.
