The paper reports that the measure could go on a July special election ballot or the November general election ballot. However, it’s not likely to go up without a fight from community leaders who worry that dispensaries create nuisances, including increased crime and impact on property values..

Since banning dispensaries years ago, the council recently floated the idea of banning delivery services as well.
