SANTA CRUZ — A recent court ruling on the city of Berkeley related to the use of natural gas in building developments is having an impact on policy here in Santa Cruz.

The Santa Cruz City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to suspend a natural gas prohibition ordinance it passed in 2020 after an April ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a similar ordinance in Berkeley that was OK’d in 2019.
