In a landmark 6-1 vote the Fresno City Council approved a measure that will outlaw all marijuana grows within the city — indoor and outdoor.
This follows a similar measure by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors, who unanimously approved a near-identical ban in January.
The city, which already bans outdoor grows and marijuana dispensaries, is one of the first in the state to outlaw all cultivation.

District Seven Councilman Clint Olivier was the sole no vote.
