AGENDA REPORT
City Manager
Item to be pre;
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: April 24, 2001
SUBJECT: AMEND THE ZONING CODE ESTABLISHING THE TOBACCO
PARAPHERNALIA ORDINANCE.
DEPARTMENT: Planning & Building Services Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt an ordinance regarding an amendment to the Unified Development Code
establishing regulations for tobacco paraphernalia.
BACKGROUND
On April 10, 2001, the City Council conducted the first reading for the Tobacco Paraphernalia
Ordinance and passed it to the April 24, 2001, City Council meeting for the second reading.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The tobacco paraphernalia ordinance would regulate businesses that devote more than a two
foot by four foot (2 feet in depth maximum) section of shelf space within the store for equipment,
products, and materials of any kind which are intended or designed for use of tobacco. All
businesses that devote less than a two foot by four -foot section of shelf space for tobacco
paraphernalia would not be regulated by the ordinance. This will likely include convenience
stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other uses that do not focus on the sale of tobacco
paraphernalia. This ordinance also does not regulate actual tobacco such as cigarettes and
chewing tobacco. In addition, the ordinance excludes matches and lighters from being
regulated.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There may be a minimal impact to the General Fund Budget as a result of a minor increase in
Code Enforcement hours to enforce the ordinance and respond to complaints and violations.
