ITEM 9.A. CITY OF MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA City Council Meeting 9-ao ao.g � ` i ., ; MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL ACTION: 1 AGENDA REPORT i1 , TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Brian Chong, Administrative Services Manager, DATE: September 14, 2017 (CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/2017)``'' SUBJECT: Provide Direction to Staff Regarding Potential Amendments to Chapter 8.32, Regulating Smoking in Public Places, of Title 8, Health and Safety, of the Moorpark Municipal Code BACKGROUND On July 1, 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 377, which prohibited smoking in various public places within the City of Moorpark. On June 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 448, which updated the City's smoking regulations to comply with current state law and to apply to vaping, smoking of electronic cigarettes, and smoking of marijuana. The City Council also directed staff to research potential amendments to the City's smoking regulations in four areas: • Identify other jurisdictions that regulate smoking at single-family residences. • Determine support/opposition of apartment complex managers for a City-wide ban on smoking inside all apartment units. • Identify the current minimum distance between a school and a retailer of smoking products, for the purpose of potentially requiring a minimum buffer distance between schools and any new retailers selling smoking products. • Estimate the cost and staff time needs to implement an annual licensing program for retailers of smoking products. A copy of the City's current smoking ordinance, including the June 2017 amendments, is provided as Attachment 1. 123 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 2 DISCUSSION Regulation of Smoking at Single-Family Residences City staff could not identify any city or county in the state that currently regulates - smoking at single-family residences. In addition to broadly reaching out to other cities through municipal list serves and professional organizations, City staff looked at the smoking ordinances of all California jurisdictions that hold an "A" rating from the American Lung Association, which was used as a proxy to identify the most aggressive cities and counties on regulating smoking. None of them regulate smoking on single- family residential properties. Enforcement of smoking regulations at single-family residences would also likely be difficult compared to enforcing smoking bans at public buildings and on public sidewalks because of an inability of enforcement officers to readily witness smoking on a single- family residential property. City-wide Ban on Smoking Inside Apartments City staff contacted the management offices of all seven apartment complexes located within the City, with six of the seven complexes choosing to participate in the survey. All six apartment complexes participating in the survey support a City-wide ban on smoking inside all apartment units. While the City does not currently have a City-wide ban on smoking inside apartment units, the City's ordinance does allow property owners to voluntarily set up their own smoking bans on their properties. The survey found that: • Four of the six complexes already prohibit smoking inside apartment units. • Four of the six complexes already prohibit smoking on private balconies/patios. • Three of the six complexes already prohibit smoking everywhere in the apartment complex. The City's current smoking ordinance already prohibits smoking in both indoor common areas (such as hallways and laundry rooms) and outdoor common areas (such as pools and playgrounds). The survey found that all six participating apartment complexes already comply with the City's ordinance and have corresponding smoking bans in both indoor and outdoor common areas. The six apartment complexes had varying answers when asked how often they receive complaints from residents related to smoking. Two said they never receive complaints, two said the rarely receive complaints, and two said they sometimes receive complaints. None said they frequently received complaints. 124 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 3 Buffer Distances Between Schools and Retailers of Smoking Products The City Council requested that staff identify the current minimum distances between schools and existing cigarette retailers, with the intent of potentially requiring a minimum buffer distance between schools and any new retailers selling smoking products. In addition to determining what constitutes an appropriate buffer distance between a school and a retailer of smoking products, one must also determine how to measure that buffer distance (e.g., property line to property line, entrance to entrance, etc.). Staff recommends that any buffer distance be measured from the property line of a school to the closest public entrance to a store. School entrances/exit points can be located anywhere along the perimeter of a school and can be easily changed by a school administration. Verifying these locations would generally require a physical site inspection to determine where entrances/exits are located, with costs in both travel and staff time. Using school property lines as measurement basis point would eliminate these costs and also cover any entrance or exit that could potentially be added to a school. Measuring to or from a store's property line is problematic because of the arbitrary shape of parcels relative to stores' actual location. The parcel that contains the Vons store on Tierra Rejada Road, for example, extends all the way to Tierra Rejada Road, resulting in an approximately 95-foot buffer from the Moorpark High School property line (essentially the width of Tierra Rejada Road). However, the store itself is located approximately 440 feet away from the Moorpark High School property line. Insofar as the theory of a buffer is to limit access to smoking products, not the parking lots of stores with smoking products, measuring from stores' property lines does not make sense. Similarly, measuring to a store's non-public entrances (typically loading bays and service doors in the back of stores) is not consistent with the logic of a buffer. A summary of the minimum existing distances between schools and nearby cigarette retailers is shown in,Tables 1, below: Table 1: Distances Between Schools and Cigarette Retailers Property Line to School Property Line to Property Line Store Entrance KinderCare/Rite Aid 0 Feet 170 Feet (Shared Property Line) Handiest Food Mart/ 0 Feet 0 Feet Princeton Avenue Montessori Preschool (On Same Property) (On Same Property) Moorpark High SchoolNons 95 Feet 440 Feet Chaparral Middle School/ 440 Feet 560 Feet Tobacco Zone Flory Academy/Moorpark Central Market#2 430 Feet 480 Feet 125 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 4 Staff also reviewed several academic studies regarding the effectiveness of buffer distances between schools and tobacco retailers, summarized below: • A 2008 study from the Stanford University School of Medicine found that neither the presence of a tobacco outlet within 1,000 feet of a high school nor the distance to the nearest tobacco outlet from school was associated with smoking prevalence. However, the study did find that a high density of tobacco outlets and the density of cigarette advertising did have an effect on the prevalence of smoking (+3.2%). • A 2009 study by the UCLA Division of Cancer Prevention and Control Research found that tobacco retailer proximity did not have an effect on the prevalence of smoking, but the density of tobacco retailers did. The study also found that middle schoolers tended to obtain cigarettes from social sources, while high schoolers tended to obtain them from a retailer. • A 2014 study by the Stanford Prevention Research Center found that tobacco retailer proximity did not have an overall effect on the prevalence of nicotine addiction, but a closer look showed that the was a small increase in the prevalence of smoking among men and a slight decrease in the prevalence of smoking among women. The study also found that the density of tobacco retailers was correlated with the prevalence of smoking. In summary, establishing minimum buffer distances between schools and tobacco retailers does not appear to have a significant effect on the prevalence of smoking. However, the American Lung Association encourages communities to adopt buffer requirements between schools and tobacco retailers. If the City Council wishes to establish a minimum buffer distance between schools and tobacco retailers, staff recommends that the buffer be measured from a school property line to the nearest public entrance to the store. Based on a review of the literature on the subject, staff would further recommend that the buffer be applied to either high schools exclusively or middle and high schools, but not elementary schools. The Vons shopping center on Tierra Rejada Road is the nearest impacted property, due to its proximity to Moorpark High School. The size of the buffer area would therefore be determined based on whether the City Council would want to allow a tobacco retailer in the satellite buildings in that shopping center, in any of the buildings in that shopping center, or in both. If the City Council directs staff to prepare an amendment to the City's smoking ordinance to create a buffer requirement, the City Council should also advise staff of its preference for what to include or exclude. It should be noted that any cigarette retailers already in existence at the time the ordinance went into effect would be allowed to continue selling cigarettes as a legal, non-conforming land use. 126 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 5 Annual Licensing Program A City licensing program would typically be focused on ensuring compliance with regulations not already being enforced by other entities. Under current law, all tobacco retailers are required to obtain a Tobacco Retailer's License from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA, formerly the State Board of Equalization). This License is in addition to other standard permits and licenses such as a state Seller's Permit and a City Business Registration. The Tobacco Retailer's License costs $265 annually, and the CDTFA program is intended to ensure that licensed retailers correctly collect and pay the state's Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax, which is currently set at $0.1435 per cigarette or 65.08% of the wholesale cost for other tobacco products. CDTFA does not enforce any other tobacco-related regulations. According to CDTFA, there are currently 17 tobacco retailers operating within Moorpark. The Moorpark Police Department occasionally conducts sting operations to identify and prevent the sale of cigarettes to individuals under the age of 21 but does not enforce other requirements. The California Department of Public Health and State Attorney General's Office both also enforce minimum age of sale laws, and also have the ability to enforce any other requirements of tobacco retailers in the California Business and Professions Code and California Penal Code. According to the California Department of Public Health, Oxnard is the only city in Ventura County to require a separate license to sell tobacco products. The City of Oxnard currently requires a Tobacco Retailer Permit for any business that sells tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia and has a Tobacco Retailer's License from CDTFA. The permit costs $69.00 the first year and then $51.00 for annual renewals. While this technically is based on 1.25 hours of staff time at Oxnard's current billable staff rates, these revenues do not realistically cover Oxnard's costs of administering the program. Under Oxnard's program, prospective Tobacco Retailer Permit holders submit an application to Oxnard's Business Licensing staff, who then forwards the application to the Oxnard Police Department for review. Upon receiving approval from the Police Department, Business Licensing staff will issue the permit. The Police Department reviews the application to ensure compliance with the City's restrictions on tobacco retailers, which include measures to-prevent the sale of tobacco products to underage customers, a ban on self-service displays, and a ban on sales at mobile locations. The permit application may also be denied if the applicant has a history of violating the City's tobacco retailer ordinance. 127 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 6 Notably, Oxnard staff does not inspect tobacco retailers to ensure consistency with the City's ordinance before issuing the license and will generally only visit a business if it is otherwise being inspected or if the business fails to renew its license. In that instance, a police officer will order the business to remove all of its tobacco products and advertisements from public view. The City of Moorpark's current smoking ordinance has several specific City requirements for tobacco retailers: • Smoking inside a retail smoking products store is only allowed if the store is located at least 25 feet from any opening of a private residence, has a separate ventilation system from other stores, and does not share a ventilation system with any other enclosed area or public place no otherwise exempted in the City's smoking ordinance. • The smoking of marijuana is specifically prohibited inside retail smoking products stores. The ultimate cost of a Moorpark program would consist of a fixed cost to issue a permit and a variable inspection cost depending on the frequency and comprehensiveness of an inspection program associated with the annual license. If a licensing program is created, staff estimates that the cost to issue a Tobacco Retailer's License would be $110.00, which is the cost currently incurred for similar over-the-counter permits such as Zoning Clearances, Home Occupation Permits, and Street Vendor Permits. If an inspection program is created, staff recommends that a Code Compliance Technician I complete the inspections. Staff estimates that approximately two hours of staff time would be necessary to travel to and from a tobacco retailer, complete the inspection, and document the inspection back at City Hall. Based on the billable hourly rate of $75.00 for a Code Compliance Technician I, the estimated direct cost of the permit would be $150.00. There would also be indirect costs for the time required for staff training on how to complete and document inspections as well as startup costs to develop the program, including license applications and forms, handouts to assist tobacco retailers obtain licenses, and outreach to existing tobacco retailers to obtain their licenses. Staff estimates that amortizing all of these costs into a single annual permit fee would be $260.00, although the costs will vary according to City Council direction on what to inspect and on the ultimate number and types of requirements placed on tobacco retailers by the City. Assuming the number of tobacco retailers stays constant at 17 establishments, staff estimates the total cost of the program to be $4,420 per year. 128 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 7 The City Council could choose to subsidize the cost of the program, as Oxnard does, by artificially decreasing the permit fee. The City currently does this for Parking Permits, Street Sweeping Exemptions, and Unattached Trailer Parking Permits, for example, as a way of encouraging the public to obtain them. However, doing so creates expenditures without corresponding revenues to offset them and would affect revenue and available staff time for other City programs and services. American Lung Association Rating Through its State of Tobacco Control Program, the American Lung Association (ALA) provides letter grade ("A" through "F") ratings to communities to measure their progress in reducing rates of smoking and other tobacco use, protecting people from secondhand smoke, and eliminating the death and disease caused by tobacco use. The ALA awards points to communities in three separate areas (Smokefree Outdoor Air, Smokefree Housing, and Reducing Sales of Tobacco Products) and also awards bonus points for communities that take action on tobacco-related emerging issues. The 2016 ALA report for Ventura County (Attachment 2) gave Moorpark a "D" rating, which was tied for the third-highest rating of the ten cities in Ventura County and the unincorporated county areas. It should be noted that Oxnard's high rating is largely due to annual permit and inspection requirements for any business that sells tobacco. The City's June 2017 updates to its smoking ordinance will improve the City's rating under the Tobacco Control Program, with staff anticipating an improvement from a "D" rating to a "C" rating when the 2017 report is published. The City's ALA rating could further improve if additional revisions to the City's smoking ordinance are adopted. Adopting a Citywide ban on smoking in apartments would improve the City's overall score, but the City would remain inside its current "C" range. Implementing an annual licensing program, if meeting all ALA criteria (which includes setting the annual license fee to fully reimburse the City for its costs), would improve the City's overall score and. result in a "B" rating. Doing both would result in an "A" rating. Alternatively, if the annual license fee was less than the City's costs, then a bonus point could be sought to improve the City's ALA rating from a "B" to an "A." A summary of the ALA's rating system is provided in Attachment 2. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impacts of amendments to the City's smoking ordinance will depend on City Council direction. Regulating smoking at single-family residential properties could result in potentially significant enforcement and legal costs. Prohibiting smoking in apartment units City-wide or placing minimum buffer distances between schools and tobacco retailers would have a negligible fiscal effect. Creating an annual licensing permit for tobacco retailers could result in potentially significant enforcement and legal costs, 129 Honorable City Council CC Regular Meeting of 9/20/17 Page 8 which could be partially or fully offset by permit revenues collected from tobacco retailers. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Direct staff to prepare an amendment to the City's smoking ordinance to prohibit smoking in all apartment units City-wide. 2. Direct staff to not proceed with regulations for smoking on single-family residences. 3. Provide policy direction to staff regarding potentially establishing a minimum buffer distance between schools and tobacco retailers. 4. Provide policy direction to staff regarding potentially establishing an annual permitting program for tobacco retailers.
