Pataskala council extends moratorium on adult‑use cannabis permits
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 2025‑4492 to extend the moratorium on issuance and processing of permits for cultivation, processing, and retail dispensing of adult‑use cannabis by amending section 4 of Ordinance 2024‑4478.
The Pataskala City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025‑4492, which amends Section 4 of Ordinance 2024‑4478 to extend the city’s moratorium on issuance and processing of permits that would allow cultivation, processing, or retail dispensing of adult‑use cannabis within city limits.
The ordinance was read at third reading by the city clerk; Mayor Walter moved to adopt and Mr. Epperson seconded. The roll call returned affirmative votes from council members and the ordinance passed.
The text read into the record describes the moratorium’s subject — permitting for adult‑use cannabis operations — but the meeting record does not specify the revised moratorium end date or the exact duration of the extension. No amendments to the ordinance language were recorded during the vote. Any party seeking to apply for such permits will be subject to the continuing moratorium until it is lifted or otherwise revised by subsequent council action.
