DEPT. R/AG
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce ordinance No.O~-~~ repealing chapter 6.18 of
Title 6 of the Carlsbad Municipal code, disestablistling
a wine cooler and spirit cooler recycling Program.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At the City Council meeting on December 22, 1987,
Resolution No. 9321 supporting Assembly Bill 612 {Sher)
was adopted. Assembly Bill 612 broadens the scope of
the California Beverage container Recycling and Litter
Reduction Act to include 11 Wine Coolers," as defined
within the bill.
on February 2, 1988 the council further demonstrated
the City's support for the comprehensive bill by
adopting Ordinance No. NS-1 establishing a local wine
and spirit cooler container redemption and recycling
program. This program becomes effective January 1,
1989 .
On June 13, 1988 Assembly Bill 612 was chaptered,
primarily due to the strong support of many cities like
Carlsbad. The state law was amended during the
legislative process, however, to become affective
January 1, 1990 instead of January 1, 1989 as
originally intended. on this effective date no city,
county or other public agency may enforce or implement
any existing or new ordinance, resolution, regulation,
or rule establishing recycling -related refund or
redemption values, deposits, or similar fees relating
to these containers in the state unless expressly
authorized by Section 14529 of the Public Resources
Code.
During the interim between the effective dates of
Ordinance NS-1 (January 1, 1989) and Assembly Bill 612
(January 1, 1990) excessive burdens will be placed on
distributors, dealers and local enforcement personnel
alike who will attempt to adjust operating procedures
and practices to accommodate this ordinance which will
not be uniformly applied throughout the county or state
in 1989. Examples of such burdens are: labeling,
disposal and storage of the containers.
Ordinance NS-1 has fulfilled its original intent to
encourage the passage of AB 612 and now represents a
potential burden to several segments of the community
during the year 1989. Therefore, staff is recommending
the repeal of Ordinance NS-1.

ORDINANCE NO. _N_S-_l'----
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CARLSBAD, CAL."'CFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 6 OF
THE CARI.SBAD MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPl'ER
6.18 ESTABLISHING A REDEMPl'ION VAIJJE FOR WINE
COOLER AND SPIRIT COOLER CONT,._A __ I=NE=RS-=..a•-----
The city Council of the City of Carlsbad, Califor.nia
does ordain as follows:
WHEREAS, the city council finds that littered wine
cooler and spirit cooler containers constitute a danger to the
health, welfare, and safety of the residents of the city, and
contribute significantly and in rapidly increasing proportion to
the destruction of the natural beauty of the City's streets, parks
and other areas thereof; and
WHEREAS, the city council further fines that the
practice of discarding wine cooler and spirit cooler containers is
a wasteful one, depleting our natural resources and squandering
valuable energy, as well as seriously burdening the litter and
solid waste collection and disposal programs of th~ City; and
WHEREAS, the city council further finds that under
existing state law, the California Beverage Container Recycling
and Litter reduction Act (hereinafter "the Act"), among other
things, establishes a redemption value for every nonrefillable
"beverage" co1,tainer sold within the state of California on or
after September 1, 1987; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the Act,
for purposes of its provisions, defines "beverage" as meaning beer
and other malt beverages, carbonated mineral and soda waters, and
similar carbonated soft drinks, and therefore does not include
l wine cooler or spirit cooler within its definition of "beverage";
2 aI"d
3 WHEREAS, the city Council further finds that the Act,
4 while preempting the statewide field with respect to establishing
5 redemption values for "beverage" containers, does not prohibit a
6 City from implementing or enforcing any ordinance or regulation
7 establishing a redemption value for wine cooler and spirit cooler
8 containers; and
9 WHEREAS, the City council further finds that wine cooler
10 sales have increased nationally from 150,000 cases in 1982 to over
ll 40 million cases in 1986, and in California alone will represent
12 approximately 40,000 tons of recyclable glass in 1987, and that
13
14
15
16
17
18
spirit cooler sales can also be expected to increase sharply; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that wine
coolers and spirit coolers are predominantly packaged in
containers similar in size and shape to many "beverage" containers
covered by the Act and are also marketed and sold to the general
public through similar channels of trade and commerce; and
19 WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the
20 exclusion of wine cooler and spirit cooler containers from the Act
21 may prevent the California recycling program mandated by the Act
22 from being fully successful unless cities, counties and other
23 public agencies enact ordinances and regulations establishing
24 redemption values for wine cooler and spirit cooler containers;
25 and
26 WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that in other
27 states and localities a deposit has been shown to function as an
28
2
l incentive for the reuse and recycling of "beverage" containers
2 such as those covered by the Act, thereby alleviating litter and
3 solid waste problems without the need for any significant
4 government expenditures; and
5 WHEREAS, the City Council further finds, given the
6 similarities between such "beverage" containers and wine cooler
7 and sp.lrit cooler containers, as well as the similarities between
8 the channels of trade and ... ommerce for such "beverages" and wine
9 cooler and spirit cooler, that the establishment of a de~osit for
10 wine cooler and spirit cooler containers would likely achieve
11 similar results; and
12 WHEREAS, the city council further finds and determines
that the regulation of litter and solid waste disposal and
management is in the public interest,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I: That Title 6 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code

[Approved June 18, 1988]
[Filed June 13, 1988]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 612, Sher. Beverage containers: wine coolers: local preemption.
(1) Under existing law, the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduc-
tion Act, among other things, establishes a redemption value of at least le for '¼Very
beverage container which is not a refillable beverage container sold in the state by a
distribut:or on and after September· 1, 1987, and provides for increases, under specified
circumstances, of these values t:o at least 2e on and after December 31, 1989, or after
December 31, 1992, Se. These values and other fees are deposited in the California
Beverage Container Recycling Fund, which is continuously appropriated to the l)epart-
ment of Conservation. The act defines "beverage," for the purposes of the act, as
meaning beer and other malt beverages, _carbonated mineral and soda waters, and similar
carbonated soft drinks. A violation of the act is an infraction.
This bill would exclude from the definition of "i;everage" any wine, or wine from which
alcohol has been removed in whole or in part, whether or not sparkling or carbonated.
The bill would specify that, for purposes of the act, soft drink does not include 100%
fruit juice to which carbonation is added.
The bill would additionally include wine and distilled spirit coolers, as defined, within
the definition of beverage as of January 1, 1990, thereby imposing a state-mandated local
program by creating a new crime. The bill would make a statement of legislative intent
concerning the reason for the delayed operative date. The bill would make conforming
changes to provisions concerning the labeling of beverage containers and the payment of
redemption values to the department. The bill would als-, make an appropriation, because
specified fees and the redemption values imposed on these beverage containers would be
deposited in the California Beverage Container Recycling Fund.
(2)·Exiating. law makea a statement that ·the llCt·occupies the whole field of regulation
of ·ape.::Jfied refunds relating to beverage containers, as provided in the act, and prohibits
th~ enforcement or implementation of ordin1U1ce11, resolutions, rules, or regulations of a
city, county, or other public agency establishing refund or redemption values, deposits, or
fees relating to beverage containers.
This bill would additionally include in this statement and prohibition containers of wine
and distilled spirits prodµcts.
(3) Existing law defines "community conservation corps" as meaning a nonprofit
benefit corporation which meets specified requirements, including consisting of not less
than 60 corpsmembers and engaging in recycling and litter abatement projects.
The bill would decrease to not lesa than 50 the numbers of corpsmembera required to
form a community conservation corps.

the definition of beverage 1s declaratory of existing l:i.w nnd th~t t.'1e J.,egislature never

(5) '!'he Caliiornia Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school
districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish proce-
dures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified
reason.

SEC. 8. Since manufacturers of wine and distilled spirit coolers were not originally
subject to Division 12.1 (commencing with Section 14500) of the Public Resources Code
and therefore require additional time to comply with its provisions, it is the intent of the
Legislature to delay the operative date of Sections 2 and 4 of this act to January 1, 1990,
SEC. 9. The amendments made by the addition of subdivision (b) to Section 14504 of
the Public Resources Code are declaratory of existing law. Although it is not disputed
that the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act does not apply
to wine generally, its application to nonalcoholic wine is unclear. The purpose of this

legislation is to make clear that the Legislature never intended the California Beverage
Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act to apply to nonalcoholic wine.
SEC. 10. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article
XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs which may be incurred by a
local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, changes the definition of a crime or infraction, changes the penalty for a crime
or infraction, or eliminates a crime or infraction.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3085, Cortese. Mobilehome parks: closure.
Existing law specixies the reasons for which a mobilehome park tenancy may be
terminated by the management and the notice required for those terminations. Existing
law also requires a ~rson converting a mobilehome park to another use, except as
specified, or closing a mobilehome park, or ceasing the use of the land as a mobilehome
park to file a. report on the impact of the conversion, closure, or cessation of use upon the
displaced residents with the local legislative body or its delegated advisory agency for
review. The legislative body or advisory agency may require as a condition of the change
that the p,eraon take steps to mitigate the adverse impact. on displaced residents. The
person making the change is also required to provide copies of the report to a resident of
each mobilehome in the park.
This bill would make the provisions relating to the impact report applicable when there
is a chaure, cessation, or change of use of a mobilehome park as the result of a decision
by e. local governmental entity or planning agency not to renew a conditional use permit
or zoning variance under which the mobilehome park has operated or as a result of any
other zoning or planning decision, action, or inaction. The bill would also require that the
local governmental entity prepare and distribute the impact report and mitigate the
adverse impact of that decision.
The bill would also require that the report be given to residents at the same time ,otice
is given to advise tenants of a management request for the issuance o; permits 1or a
change of use of the mobilehome park.
Thia bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 798.56 of the Civil Code,
proposed by AB 3720, to be operative only if AB 3720 and this bill are both chaptered and
become effectiv4! January 1, 1989, and this bill is chaptered last.
The ~ople of the Stau of California do enact a, follow,:
SECTION 1. Section 798.56 of the Civil Code is amended to read:
798.56. A tenancy shall be terminated by the management only for one or more of the
following reasons:
(a) Failure of the homeowner or resident to comply with a local ordinance or state law
or regulation relati11g to mobilehomes within a reasonable time after the homeowner
receives a notice of noncompliance from the appropriate governmental agency.
