Last October the City Council enacted a moratorium on
marijuana -related businesses that will expire on May 51 2015.

forward, an ordinance which would have allowed for the zoning
and regulation of recreational marijuana -related businesses
within the City.

Council consensus was to bring forward two options, one of
which was an ordinance to ban recreational marijuana.
The second option is a separate ordinance on tonight's agenda to
establish a one-year moratorium on recreational marijuana -
related businesses.
The moratorium ordinance is proposed for consideration only if
this ordinance to ban does not move forward.

operating in any zone within the City of Federal Way".
