County extends temporary moratorium on new firearm retailers while zoning changes are prepared

The Board of Supervisors voted 4–1 to extend an interim urgency ordinance that limits new or relocated firearm retail sales in unincorporated parts of the county while staff completes a zoning and regulatory amendment. Planning staff described efforts to map existing retailers, identify sensitive receptors and test a proposed 1,000‑foot buffer as part of a broader rewrite that could create a distinct land‑use category and require conditional‑use permits for new firearm retail operations.
