12C. AN URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF\nSTANTON ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM UNDER GOVERNMENT\nCODE SECTIONS 36937 AND 65858 ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW MEDICAL\nSERVICES UNDER MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 20.400.200; AND DETERMINING\nTHE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA\nThe City of Stanton (“City”) has received inquiries about establishing new medical-\nservices uses under section 20.400.200 of the municipal code. These are facilities or\nclinics that operate outpatient treatment and counseling centers that, in addition to\ncounseling, treat individuals with substance abuse disorder by employing medicines that\neliminate drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms typically experienced when individuals\nwith various substance dependence stop using their substance of abuse. While these\nuses provide a valuable service to the community, they can be associated with negative\nimpacts on the vulnerable populations that they serve if not property regulated. The City\nCouncil is asked to consider an interim urgency ordinance to temporarily prohibit the\nestablishment of new medical-service uses under section 20.400.200 and the expansion,\nenlargement, or alteration of these uses that already exist in the City. The interim urgency\nordinance is intended to provide the City with time to study the impacts of these\nestablishments and to develop appropriate new regulations.\nRECOMMENDED ACTION:\n1. City Council find that adoption of the proposed urgency ordinance is:\na. Not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California\nEnvironmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines (Title 14 of the California Code of\nRegulations) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the\nenvironment, directly or indirectly; and\nb. Exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA\nGuidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the\nactivity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.\n2. Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1145, entitled:\n“AN URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE\nCITY OF STANTON ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM\nUNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 36937 AND 65858 ON THE\nESTABLISHMENT OF NEW MEDICAL SERVICES UNDER MUNICIPAL\nCODE SECTION 20.400.200; AND DETERMINING THE ACTION TO BE\nEXEMPT FROM CEQA.”\nJuly 9, 2024
