The council will consider adopting urgency ordinances placing moratoriums on both types of businesses. The immediate ban on medical marijuana dispensaries is necessary in light of recent changes to state and federal law that have created "a dramatic increase in inquiries from individuals interested in opening these types of businesses," according to a staff report on the subject. The meeting, which will be held at 8838 E. Valley Blvd., is scheduled to begin at 6p.m. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr
