Residents flagged a new liquor and smoke shop near their roundabout, worried about unsupervised youth nearby. Staff confirmed it's in proper zoning, but officials discussed tightening the code — possibly requiring package stores to come before council or restricting kratom sales — once state preemption expires in October 2027.
