This update to the staff report provides an alternate recommendation for Council's consl'ideration to the proposed ordinance in the original staff report. Description Application Summary Application: CP-2014-02 Applicant: City of Cupertino Property Owner: N/A Property Location: City-wide Discussion As noted in the original staff report, in April 1014 the staff was asked to work on an ordinance to prohibit smoking and specifically examine the following areas: • Outdoor dining areas open to the public; • Around entries/exits of stores where food was sold or consumed; and • A buffer of 30 feet around areas where smoking is prohibited (with a directive to recommend a buffer that was generally consistent with State and local requirements). Proposed Ordinance (Original) Staff reviewed State requirements, ordinances of neighboring jurisdictions and the Cupertino Municipal Code. Staff also presented the ordinance to the Chamber of Commerce and conducted outreach to businesses in the City. The original proposed ordinance amendment to Chapter 10.90 included smoking prohibitions in the following areas: a. Outdoor dining areas open to the public; b. Building entrances/exits, operable openings and air intake vents of building areas accessible to the public and where food and/or drink is consumed; c. Creation of a 25-foot "Reasonable Distance" requirement in outdoor areas that are protected by the ordinance. The 25-foot "Reasonable Distance" recommendation is based on research related to secondhand smoke exposure provided by Public Health Law and Policy (PHLP, now known as ChangeLab Solutions), which provided best practices and technical support to cities working on non—.smoking ordinances. The 25-foot buffer is also consistent the City's current requirement around Recreational Areas owned by the City. Alternate Proposed Ordinance Based upon the original request, staff is also including an alternate ordinance to extend the smoking prohibition to building entrances/exits, operable openings and air intake vents of building areas accessible to the public and where food and/or drink is sold. Attachment A-1 is the Proposed Alternate Ordinance. Attachment B-1 provides a redline version of the proposed alternate ordinance. Prepared by: Aarti Shrivastava, Asst.
