MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES, ADULT STORES FACE ROSEMEAD BAN

The City Council will consider taking emergency steps today to stop
the proliferation of medical marijuana dispensaries and adult
businesses in the city.

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.
