Mount Lebanon adopts zoning amendment to define and permit smoke shops as conditional use in C-2
Summary
The commission enacted Ordinance Bill 5-26 to define "smoke shops" in Chapter 20 and permit them as a conditional use in the C-2 zoning district, following planning board review and a public hearing.
At the July 28 meeting the commission voted to enact Ordinance Bill 5-26, an amendment to Chapter 20 of the municipal code that defines ‘smoke shops,’ permits them as a conditional use in the C-2 zoning district, and establishes use‑specific regulations. Commissioner Swagger Wilson noted that the change is intended to regulate where smoke shops may operate rather than ban them outright, and that the planning board reviewed and recommended adoption after meetings on April 21 and June 16, 2026.
A public hearing on the amendment had occurred on July 14, 2026. Commissioner Swagger Wilson moved adoption and the commission approved the ordinance on voice vote. The motion carried with no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
