Meeting chair opened a required public hearing on Ordinance No. 26-7 23, described by staff as a permanent moratorium on any new or additional recreational marijuana retail business licenses in Winston; staff said the appeal was timely and gave three main reasons staff recommended affirming the ordinance: (1) the city’s authority comes from the Winston municipal code, not only from state House Bill 4121; (2) the city seeks to avoid market saturation; and (3) concern about impacts on a high senior demographic and community 'culture shock.'
