The Atascadero City Council passed a motion 5-0 to create a 45-day temporary moratorium before anyone can establish or operate a medical marijuana facility in the city.
City attorney Brian Pierik recommended the moratorium to the council saying that it would allow a research-and-discussion period to investigate any potential facility’s legitimacy.
“It is recommended that the council adopt the urgency ordinance,” he said. “It would prevent the approval of a medical marijuana facility within the city for 45 days. At the end of 45 days, the matter would be returned to you for a decision as to whether to extend the moratorium. The next extension period could potentially be for a period of 10 months and 15 days. And there would be a report submitted to you 10 days prior to that 45-day period describing what additional analysis has been done by the staff in connection with such facilities.”
