The Murrieta City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 18, extended a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries.
Murrieta has banned dispensaries since 2005. It passed an additional temporary moratorium last year as several court cases challenged California cities power to pass such bans.
The council voted unanimously on Tuesday to extend the moratorium for another year.
Cities across California are awaiting the outcome of several cases, including cases involving dispensaries in Riverside and Murrieta, working their way through the courts. The California Supreme Court is expected to take up the issue sometime next year.
