Gainesville is pushing ahead with a plan to restrict where fireworks can be sold after the Planning and Appeals Board gave its support to a code amendment Tuesday night. But the proposal does come with some exceptions for large retailers and other businesses that sell fireworks in addition to general goods. Fireworks can now be sold from brick-and-mortar stores following the passage of a state law this year, but local governments retain the power to regulate where they can be sold through zoning ordinances.
