The Santa Cruz City Council on Tuesday decided not to go through with adopting an emergency moratorium on new cannabis businesses.
The decision comes amid the threat of a lawsuit alleging collusion, Brown Act violations and a targeted attack on one marijuana dispensary, namely The Hook Santa Cruz . The Santa Cruz Planning Commission in early March approved an Administrative Use Permit application from The Hook to establish a retail dispensary at 1129 Mission St., formerly Emily's Bakery.
'When the mayor disclosed his intentions to propose a moratorium, we engaged in direct dialogue, urging a postponement of this decision until after our scheduled city council meeting. 'Our argument was clear: introducing a moratorium at this juncture would not only inflict undue economic damage upon our business but also impede our right to a fair and transparent process.
