The council of the Inland Empire city of Norco, California, will discuss tonight whether to enact a 45-day moratorium on warehouse development, making it the latest municipality to consider such a move as the need for industrial space near the country's largest port metastasizes. If approved, the ban would go into effect immediately. Norco would be one of at least four cities in the region, which has less than a 1% industrial vacancy rate, with an active ban on new warehouse projects and one of eight to have enacted a moratorium in the last two years.
