Looking to open a gun store in Burbank soon, well not so fast! Find out about the new moratorium the Burbank City Council passed last night on new businesses that sell firearms or ammunition.
They also suggested that the store is too close to nearby Roosevelt Elementary School, which is about four blocks away.
In a statement, city officials said that while the gun retailers haven't put an inordinate demand on public safety services, there is concern about their proliferation along commercial corridors and proximity to residential areas.
During the 45-day moratorium, Burbank city staff will look into more permanent regulations — including zoning changes — to establish buffer zones around sensitive sites such as schools. Staff will also examine the possibility of suspending new gun store licenses so existing shops can dwindle through attrition.
