CALIFORNIA CITY, CA (KUZZ) — Officials in California City have approved a temporary ban on new cannabis businesses.
The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to stop approvals for new cannabis-related permits and applications for 45 days while the city reviews concern about odor, public safety, and other potential impacts.
The decision means existing cannabis businesses can stay open but cannot expand, and the city will still accept new applications during the moratorium.
Officials cited seven “immediate threats” tied to additional cannabis operations.
The council is also considering requiring performance bonds for future cannabis businesses operating in the city.
