Officials said the moratorium is designed to give the City Council and staff time to research, present, and take further long-term action to develop a solution to regulate the sale of vape products and accessories within the City of La Porte.
A moratorium is a tool that permits a city to give itself some "breathing room" to review and update its land use regulations.
