Staff previews zoning text amendments as moratorium on "smoke shops" ends; public hearing set for March 25
Summary
Staff told the commission the moratorium on retail smoke-shop type businesses ends at month-end and previewed proposed zoning text amendments that will be the subject of a public hearing on March 25.
City staff told the commission that a moratorium on retail businesses typically selling tobacco or tobacco-related products (commonly referred to as smoke shops) will end at the end of this month and that proposed zoning text amendments are scheduled for a public hearing on March 25.
Staff said the proposed amendments were developed following internal collaboration, consultation with planning peers and review of other communities’ approaches; staff encouraged commissioners to read the draft text and flag any red flags ahead of the hearing so staff can research and respond. “I won’t get into the details of the text. I’ll save that for the public hearing,” staff said, while urging commissioners to reach out with questions prior to March 25.
The commission took no formal action on the text at this meeting; the item was announced so the public hearing can proceed on the stated date.
