 Action:  Review and approve, or approve with edits, the October 7, 2024, Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission Action Summary.

Summary: The City of Fresno brought Text Amendment Application No. P23-03410 (to modify use regulations for tobacco and vapor sales within City of Fresno boundaries) to the ALUC in December 2023. It was given a Finding of Consistency by the ALUC, but the City of Fresno did not move it forward with it. Since then, revisions were made to the original draft based on comments received by Council District Project Review Committees. So, the City of Fresno is now requesting the ALUC review the revised amendment and grant another Finding of Consistency. It is not anticipated to affect the airports or airport land uses.

The amendment proposes to add terms and definitions to FMC Section 15-6208 (Definitions) and amend FMC Section 15-2761 (Tobacco and Vapor Sales) of the Citywide Development Code to provide additional regulations for tobacco and vapor sales as a primary use.

The current code regulations for tobacco and vapor sales in FMC Section 15-2761 only provide restrictions for signage when establishments are near sensitive areas, i.e., any establishment located within 400 feet of a park, school (private or public), day care, or other youth-sensitive places may not advertise smoke sales or related paraphernalia in a manner visible from outside the establishment.

The amendment would replace the existing regulations entirely. Specifically, the proposed Text Amendment will provide additional regulations relating to tobacco and vapor sales as a primary use, which are not incidental to a larger retail use such as supermarkets and convenience stores; otherwise known as “Smoke Shops.”

The amendment would also add definitions to Tobacco Product; tobacco retailer; existing tobacco retailer; new tobacco retailer; and paraphernalia in FMC Section 15-6208.

Action: ALUC staff recommends that the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission approve a Finding of Consistency for the City of Fresno Text Amendment No. P23-03410- Sections 15-2761 and 15-6902 of the Fresno Municipal Code.
