The Portland City Council voted 6-3 to approve an 180-day moratorium on new theaters and performance halls, blocking Live Nation’s proposal to build a 3,300-seat venue. Over 100 people, mostly in favor of the moratorium, spoke during the meeting. The moratorium, retroactive to December 1, will delay the project for 30 days.

Critics argue the moratorium caters to a vocal minority, ignoring the broader community’s potential support for the venue.
