The initiative, proposed by resident Colton Chacker, if approved by voters, would require the city to allow two cannabis retail stores.
Asked if the city should lift its current ban on cannabis delivery, the group’s members were almost evenly divided, voting 5-4 in favor of allowing delivery within city limits.
The advisory group narrowly opposed a city-backed initiative, 5-4, but unanimously endorsed the idea of a “stand-alone” tax proposal to accompany the Chacker initiative in the event it wins voter approval.
Members included Dave Davis, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce’s board acting in a private capacity; Jason Johnson, superintendent of Hermosa Beach City School District; Tom Bakaly of the Beach Cities Health District.
