moratorium on Low-THC dispensing facilities and research and draft
regulations on the zoning and siting of Low-THC dispensing facilities.

of the County Attorney to either i) bring to the Board an ordinance which would
institute a ninety (90) moratorium on Dispensing Facilities in order to bring back
