The city of Cupertino has extended an urgency ordinance to give city officials 12 more months to come up with a plan for dealing with commercialized marijuana within city limits.
The extension, approved by the council on Tuesday, imposes a moratorium in the city on all commercial, non-medical marijuana land uses including dispensaries, cultivation and cultivation facilities, commercial cannabis activities and transport and deliveries.

Staff said the moratorium will help the city retain its ability to regulate, allow or prohibit non-medical marijuana dispensaries, cultivation sites and delivery services in the future. Staff said they will use the extra time granted by the moratorium to analyze the effect of recently approved legislation regarding both non-medical and medical marijuana and the effectiveness of state regulations and licensing.
