SUBJECT: 9.1(d)--Consider adopting a tobacco-oriented retailer ordinance.
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Offer an Ordinance amending Redding Municipal Code Title 6 (Business Taxes,
Licenses, and Regulation), Chapter 6.13 (Redding Municipal Code Tobacco-Oriented
Retailing) adopting a Tobacco-Oriented Retail license for first reading by title only,
waive the full reading;
(2) Authorize the City Attorney to prepare a summary ordinance and the City Clerk to
publish the same in accordance with law; and
(3} Find that the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to
California Environmental Quality Act guidelines 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3) and
further find that the passage of this ordinance will have no foreseeable direct or indirect
physical change in the environment.
Fiscal Impact
If the new ordinance is adopted, all Tobacco-Oriented Retailers will be required to pay a fee of
$4,828.27 - the fee is based on Code Enforcement administering the Tobacco-Oriented Retailer
Program and that there are 29 vapelsmoke shops that will be classified as Tobacco-Oriented
Retailers. As proposed, Code Enforcement staff would include one full-time Neighborhood
Preservation Officer and a half-time Administrative Assistant, The fee could increase or decrease
if the number of Tobacco-0riented Retailers is found to be more or less than 29.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to adopt an ordinance regulating Tobacco-Oriented
Retailers or the Council may direct staff to edit the licensing ordinance to incorporate licensing
all tobacco retailers. This will significantly drop the fee for the program to $1,176.63 since it is
spread out over approximately 119 retailers. The Council may also provide alternate direction to
staff.
Report to Redding City Council June 12,2025
Re: 9.1(d)--Consider adopting a tobacco-oriented retailer ordinance Page 2
Background/flnalysis
On March 18, 2025, staff presented the Council with background information on previous
tobacco retail items, including the Council's most recent direction from September 17, 2025,
Council meeting and the fees associated with operating a tobacco retail program through both the
City of Redding Police Department and Code Enforcement Division. At that meeting, the
Council directed staff to return with a]icensing ordinance that includes ]ocation restrictions and
capacity limit for smoke and vape shops.
Staff worked with Code Enforcement and the City Attorney's Office to create a draft tobacco
retailing ordinance (Draft Ordinance) that was specific to creating a license requirement for vape
and smoke shops. In addition to creating the draft ordinance staff also added location restrictions
and capacity limit for smoke and vape shops. Staff has confirmed adding these restrictions does
not reguire an update to the zoning code and can be accomplished via the ordinance.
Under the draft ordinance, a11 Tobacco-Oriented Retailers will be required to obtain a license
unless they meet at least three out of seven exemption criteria. These criteria are designed to
exclude general tobacco retailers such as gas stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, golf
courses and other similar stores from the definition of "Tobacco-Oriented Retailer." They
include:
1. Businesses that have contracts with tobacco manufactures;
2. Businesses that have gas pumps and se11 gas;
3. Businesses that have licenses to sell beer and wine or liquor;
4. Businesses who have ownership rights to the property;
5. Businesses that have a minimum gross sales of non-tobacco products in excess of 75
percent;
6. Businesses that include a pharmacy on site; and
7. Businesses whose primary use is a golf course.
To create this definition and establish the criteria, staff inet with various business owners to learn
the differences in their stores compared to smoke and vape shops. Staff also attempted to meet
with smoke and vape shop staff but they were not interested in discussions.
In the City of Redding (City) there are approximately 29 Tobacco-Oriented Retailers. Staff
determined that the capacity limit for Tobacco-Oriented Businesses is 20 and recommends
reducing the total number of Tobacco-Oriented Retailers respectively. Current Tobacco-Oriented
Retailers will be allowed to continue to operate as long as they submit a complete and accurate
Tobacco-Oriented Retail application and pay the required fee within 60 days of ordinance
adoption.
New Tobacco-0riented Retailers will not be permitted to operate within 1,000 feet of a youth-
oriented facility following the adoption of the draft ordinance. A youth-oriented facility includes
schools providing instruction of any grades Kindergarten through grade 12, public library, public
parks, and other similar youth-oriented facilities that are primarily used to host recreation and
social activities to youth.
Report to Redding City Council June 12,2025
Re: 9.1(d)--Consider adopting a tobacco-oriented retailer ordinance Page 3
The final distance requirelnent of the draft ordinance restricts new Tobacco-0riented Retailers to
operate within 500 feet of an existing Tobacco-Oriented Retailers. The distance requirements for
both youth-oriented facilities and existing Tobacco-Oriented Retailers will only come into effect
once the total number of Tobacco-Oriented Retailers drops under 20, affecting only new
Tobacco-Oriented Retailers that seek to operate following adoption of the draft ordnance.
The draft ordinance allows for enforcement, inspections, and education to a11 tobacco retailers
not just Tobacco-Oriented Retailers. All retailers will be subject to inspections; retainment of
purchase invoices for tobacco products for staff review; there will be no sale of flavored tobacco
products; and no tobacco products to be sold to a person under the age of 21. This allows for the
City to investigate complaints on retailers that are not classified as Tobacco-Oriented Retailers
and hold all tobacco retailers accountable.
Pending adoption of the ordinance, staff will bring back a resolution for adoption of a Tobacco-
Oriented Retailer licensing program and a resolution for adoption of administrative fines.
Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further
action is required.

DRAFT NEW ORD/NANCE
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDTNANCE OF THE CITY OF REDDING AMENDING TITLE 6
(BUSINESS TAXES, LICENSES AND REGULATIONS) OF THE
REDDING MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 6.13 (TOBACCO-
OREIENTED RETAILING), RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF
TOBACCO RETAILERS
Section l. Redding Municipal Code Title 6 (Business Taxes, Licenses and
Regulations) is amended to read as follows:
Title 6—BUSINESS TAXES, LICENSES AND REGULATIONS
Chapter 6.13
6.13.010 Legislative findings.
A. State law prohibits the sale or furnishing of cigarettes, tobacco products and smoking
paraphernalia to persons under 21 years of age except active duty military personnel who are
18 years of age or older(California Penal Code § 308).
B. State law requires that tobacco retailers check the identification of tobacco purchasers who
reasonably appear to be under 21 years of age (California Business & Professions Code §
22956) and provides procedures for using persons under 21 years of age to conduct onsite
compliance checks of tobacco retailers (California Business &Professions Code § 22952).
C. State law requires that tobacco retailers post a conspieuous notice at each point of sale stating
that selling tobacco products to anyone under 21 years of age is illegal(California Business &
Professions Code § 22952, California Penal Code § 308).
D. State law prohibits the sale or display of cigarettes through a self-service display and prohibits
public access to cigarettes without the assistance of a clerk(California Business &Professions
Code § 22962).
E. State law prohibits the sale of"bidis" (a type of hand-rolled filterless cigarette) except at those
businesses that prohibit the presence of minors (California Penal Code § 308.1).
F. State law prohibits the manufacture, distribution, or sale of cigarettes in packages of less than
20 and prohibits the manufacture, distribution, or sale of"roll-your-own" tobacco in packages
containing less than six-tenths of an ounce of tobacco (California Penal Code § 308.3).
G. State law prohibits public school students from smoking or using tobacco products while on
campus,while attending school-sponsored activities, or while under the supervision or control
of school district employees (California Education Code § 48901(a)).
H. In 2023, 41.2% of surveyed Shasta County high school students reported having previously
used tobacco, the highest level of tobacco use recorded in the state (2023 California Youth
Tobacco Survey).
I. In 2023, 31.6% of surveyed Shasta County high school students stated that they vape to relax
or relieve stress and anxiety(2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey).
J. In 2023, 16.8% of surveyed Shasta County high school students reported currently using
tobacco products (including vapes, cigarettes, cigars, little cigars and cigarillos, smokeless
tobacco, heated tobacco products, hookah and nicotine pouches) (2023 California Youth
Tobacco Survey).
K. In 2023, Shasta County had the highest level of current tobacco use by high school students in
the State (2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey).
L. In 2023, 63.2%of currently vaping high school students reported that they believed it was easy
to obtain vapes and cigarettes from stores (2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey).
M. In 2023, 32.6% of surveyed Shasta County students reported buying vapes, pods, or e-liquid
directly from a tobacco or smoke shop (2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey).
N. In 2023, 23.4% of surveyed Shasta County students under the age of 18 reported asking
someone to buy them a vape,pod or e-liquid(2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey).
O. The city has a substantial interest in promoting compliance with federal, state, and local laws
intended to regulate tobacco sales and use; in discouraging the illegal purchase of tobacco
products by persons under 21 years of age; in promoting compliance tivith laws prohibiting
sales of cigarettes and tobacco products to persons under 21 years of age; and in protecting
youth and underserved populations from the harms of tobacco use. California courts in Cohen
v. Board of Supervisors (Cal. 1985) 40 Ca1.3d 277, Bravo Vendin�v• City of Rancho Mirage
(4th Dist. 1993) 16 Ca1.App.4th 383, and Prime Gas v. City of Sacramento (3ra Dist. 2010) 184
Ca1.App.4th 697,have affirmed the power of local jurisdictions to regulate business activity in
order to discourage violations of law. State law authorizes 1oca1 tobacco retailer licensing laws
to provide for the suspension or revocation of the local tobacco retailer license for any violation
of a state tobacco control law(California Business &Professions Code § 22971.3).
P. Requiring a Tobacco-Oriented Retailer license will not unduly burden legitimate business
activities of retailers who sell or distribute cigarettes or other tobacco products to adults. It
will, however, a11ow the city to regulate the operation of lawful businesses to discourage
violations of federal, state, and local tobacco-re]ated 1aws.
Q. In 2024, the Redding Police Department conducted 41 undercover decoy operations using
underage individuals to attempt to purchase tobacco products. Of these, five businesses
unlawfully sold tobacco products to minors—and a11 five were Tobacco-Oriented Retailers.
This indicates a disproportionate rate of noncompliance among Tobacco-0riented Retail
businesses and highlights the need for enhanced local oversight and stricter regulations specific
to this category of retailers.
R In 2024, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration conducted inspections of
seven Tobacco-Oriented Retail businesses within the city. All seven were found to be in
violation of state law. Documented violations included attempted sales of illegally imported
tobacco products, the unlawful sale of cannabis products, and the confirmed presence of
flavored tobacco products prohibited under state law. This pattern of noncompliance
underscores the necessity for enhanced local regulation and enforcement of Tobacco-Oriented
Retailers.
S. In 2025, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration conducted inspections of
six Tobacco-Oriented Retailers within the city. A11 six Tobacco-Oriented Retailers were found
to be in violation of state laws or regulations. Violations included the possession of illegal
tobacco products, operating without a valid state tobacco license, offering self-service access
to tobacco products, selling untaxed cigarettes,and failing to maintain required invoices onsite.
These findings demonstrate a continued and widespread pattern of noncompliance among
Tobacco-Oriented Retailers and further support the need for robust 1oca1 oversight and
regulation.
T. General Tobacco Retailers subject to inspections within the city who have significant
investment in their businesses such as ownership of the real property on which their businesses
are located, contracts with tobaceo manufacturers, licenses to se11 alcohol, or substantial non-
tobacco-related sales have generally been found to be more compliant with state laws and
regulations.
U. Law enforcement has encountered difficulty enforcing state laws and regulations relating to
tobacco sales in the city due to the transient nature of many Tobacco-Oriented Retailers that
lack significant investment in their business property or operations, are able to q�uickly and
easily relocate to other locations in the city under different business names, and have little to
lose when circumventing state and 1oca1 regulations, causing harm to the community and
undermining established safeguards.
V. By excluding businesses that meet certain operational and regulatory benchmarks, such as
those with contracts with tobacco manufacturers, established relationships with alcohol
licensing bodies, and permanent business operations, this regulatory program seeks to ensure
that only businesses that are committed to lawful and responsible retail practices are designated
as Tobacco-Oriented Retail businesses eligible for licensure under this ordinance.
W. During public comment at previous City Council meetings on tobacco,multiple local business
owners testified to significant differences in operational practices between general tobacco
retailers and Tobacco-Oriented Retailers. Specifically, general retailers reported proactive
compliance efforts, including the purchase and use of TD verification software and refusal to
carry banned tobacco or drug-related products. These practices contrast with the perceived lax
compliance and product offerings of Tobacco-Oriented Retailers, suggesting a need for
heightened regulation of Tobacco-Oriented Retailers.
X. Public testimony further indicated that Tobacco-Oriented Retailers often lease rather than own
their business premises and operate with lower financial and regulatory investment compared
to general tobacco retailers such as gas stations and convenience stores. Because it is easier
and cheaper for some Tobacco-Oriented Retailers to open and move locations, they can avoid
accountability and enforcement by quickly relocating or changing their business name. These
characteristics support the imposition of a local licensing requirement to ensure that Tobacco-
Oriented Retailers have a meaningful stake in their ongoing lawful operation within the city.

(1) It sha11 be unlawful for any tobacco retailer to sell any flavored tobacco product.
(2) Presumptive Flavored Tobacco Product. There sha11 be a rebuttable presumption that a
tobacco product is a flavored tobacco product if a tobacco retailer, manufacturer, or any
employee or agent of a tobacco retailer or manufacturer has taken action directed to
consumers that would be reasonably expected to cause consumers to believe the tobacco
product is a flavored tobacco product. Any communication by or on behalf of the
manufacturer or retailer of a tobacco product that such tobacco product imparts a taste or
odor other than the taste or odor of tobacco, and/or that imparts a heating, cooling, or
numbing sensation,constitutes presumptive evidence that the tobacco product is a flavored
tobacco product. This includes but is not ]imited to public statements that a product is
flavored, such as describing the product as "chill," "ice," "fresh," "arctic," "sweet," "spicy,"
or "frost."

SUBJECT: 9.1(a)--Consider report regarding tobacco retailing in the City of Redding.
Recommendation
Accept the report on tobacco retailing and provide direction to staff regarding next steps.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with accepting the report. If the City Council (Council) would like to
pursue drafting an ordinance on tobacco retailing, there would be associated staff time costs.
Currently, the Redding Police Department (RPD} is running decoy operations through a grant.
The grant consists of five operations a year with each operation consisting of 10-12 retailer visits
per operation-revenue received per operation is $1,500.
If the Council pursues a Tobacco Retail License (TRL) Program that is to be managed and
enforced by Code Enforcement, staff would need to further examine cost recovery of the
program. In TRL programs, the costs of education, inspections, and enforcement are funded by
the cost of the license, and can be supplemented with grants. The cost of the license could fund a
full time Code Enforcement position and even an administrative position to process the licenses.
Further examination would be required.
Alternative Action
The Council could choose to not accept the report.
Backg�ound/Analysis
On February 6, 2024, staff presented to the Council a report regarding what California (State)
laws are in place and what other jurisdictions are doing in regards to tobacco enforcement. Staff
presented a broad scope of what the majority of State jurisdictions are doing in regards to
tobacco enforcement and speci�cally what the jurisdictions are doing in Shasta County. The
P�cket Pg.26t1
Report to Redding City Council September 22, 2024
Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 2
Council accepted the report and advised staff to further canvas State municipalities to determine
what is and is not working regarding tobaceo enfarcement, retailer density, how youth are
targeted, and any other information as it relates to tobacco retailers.
Since the previous meeting, the 2023 California Youth Tobacco Use Survey (survey) was
released for Shasta County and there is new legislation, that, if signed by the Governor, will.
increase the fine for selling a tobacco product to youth. The survey was released in March 2024,
and shows Shasta County has the highest rate of tobacco ever used by youth in the State of
California at 41.2 percent'. The report shows that one in three Shasta County Youth report being
able to purchase tobacco directly form a tobacco retailer'. On average, students reported first
using tobacco at age 13 and 82.2 percent of students who have used tobacco reported trying
vapes as their first tobacco producti.
Potential new tobacco enforcement legislation has moved forward to Governor Newsom for
consideration. Senate Bill (SB) 2021 supplements the existing fine that can be issued to an
individual who knowingly se11s a tobacco product to a person under 21 years of age. This new
bill allows for a fine to be issued to the retailing businesses or corporation. The fine amount that
can be issued to the business for knowingly selling to a youth is punishable by a fine of$500 for
the first offense, $1,000 for the second offense, and $5,000 for the third offense.
The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) requires all retailers who
sell cigarettes, or tobacco products, to obtain a cigarette and tobacco retailer's license. The
CDTFA defines a tobacco product on their website as:

Data Collection and Benchmarkin�
Staff analyzed 48 various jurisdictions throughout the State on what types of tobacco ordinances
and enforcement other jurisdictions have in place. Staff specifically asked jurisdictions if they
have a tobacco ordinance, if they enforce their tobacco ordinance, and if the ordinance is
working. Staff also viewed each jurisdiction's municipal code for specifications on tobacco
related ordinances. Staff analyzed if a TRL is required, how many tobacco retailers are in the
jurisdiction, what are the associated fees, population, penalties, and what specific ordinances are
in place. Staff did not hear back from some jurisdictions through phone ar email which resulted
in reviewing online ordinances and information.
Of the 48 jurisdictions that were analyzed, 28 of them require retailers to have a local TRL. As of
October 2023, at least 226 municipalities in California require a TRL to sell tobacco products.
Jurisdictions that require a TRL, required them to be renewed annually, a11ow them to have local
control, and enforcement capabilities of the tobacco retailers in their jurisdiction. This allows the
jurisdiction to set any additional requirements such as limits on how many retailers are operating
in their jurisdiction and general oversight. It makes enforcement more effective and efficient and
gives local governments the ability to intervene when needed. Many jurisdictions have set their
ordinances to go above and beyond of what the federal and state law requires.
Staff found several jurisdictions have adopted tobacco ordinances but currently have no funding
for their tobacco program or for enforcement. These jurisdictions are Butte County, Oroville,
Packet Pg.261
Report to Redding City Council September 22, 2024
Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 3
Hollister, San Benito County, Arroyo Grande, and Merced County. The Cities of Anderson,
Santa Rosa, and Vallejo, stated that they are in the process of working on updating or creating a
TRL program.
The City of Benicia was found to have the most restrictive requirements for tobacco retailers.
Followed by Sonoma County and Sonoma County cities such as Petaluma, Sebastopol, Windsor,
and Sonoma. These jurisdictions require each tobacco retailer to hold a TRL, implemented
density requirements (with some no ]onger issuing TRLs due to being over density), proximity
requirements to youth areas, distance/proximity requirements to other tobacco retailers, no
selling of flavored tobacco, no tobacco retailing at pharmacies, minimum pricing requirements,
and some even banning the sale of electronic cigarettes or vaping products.
There was a wide array of specific ordinances that have been implemented throughout the State.
The various ordinances in place include:
Proximity Requirement to a Youth Sensitive Area
Jurisdictions have set requirements for tobacco retailers operating near youth sensitive
facilities. Youth sensitive facilities mainly include, schools, parks, libraries, day cares,
playgrounds, and ultimately, specific areas defined by the jurisdiction. Jurisdictions set
prohibitions for tobacco retailers near schools because of the belief that children are more
likely to experiment with tobacco products when tobacco retailers are near youth areas.
Setting distance restrictions near youth areas may assist with reducing youth smoking
rates. There are 16 jurisdictions that have set a distance requirement for tobacco retailers
near youth sensitive areas. The distance set by the jurisdictions analyzed ranges from 300
feet to 1,000 feet.
Proximity Rec�uirements Near Existing Tobacco Retailers
There are 10 jurisdictions that have requirements for no new tobacco retailers to operate
within a specific proximity to other tobacco retailers. This requirement prevents the over
concentration of tobacco retailers within particular neighborhoods and how close they
can operate from one another. The overconcentration of tobacco retailers may affect
youth smoking behaviors and youth access to tobacco products. The distance set by the
jurisdictions analyzed ranges from 500 feet to 1,000 feet.
Tobacco Retailers�er Po�ulation Densi . or Cap on the Amount of Tobacco Retailers
Jurisdictions have imposed requirements for tobacco retailers based on the local
population. Jurisdictions have based this requirement off of the State's ability to limit the
number of alcohol licenses. Greater tobacco density may lead to higher smoking rates. In
the jurisdictions analyzed, 12 jurisdictions have adopted an ordinance based off the
population. The jurisdictions analyzed had various densities adopted that include one
tobacco retailer for every 1,500 residents (one jurisdiction), 1,750 residents (one
jurisdiction), 2,000 residents (four jurisdictions), and 2,500 residents (three jurisdictions).
This sets local capacity of tobacco retailers based on the number of residents. If
population increases then the number of tobacco retailers can be increased. The City of
Sonoma has a set capacity of 15 retailers, and Nevada City has a set limit of five. The
City of Oroville requires a use permit from planning and has a density requirement of one
for every 4,000 residents for significant tobacco retailers which has been reached.

Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 4
No Selling of Flavored Tobacco
With the passing of SB 793, effective January 1, 2023, flavored tobacco or tobacco
product flavor enhancers are now illegal to sell, offer for sale, or possess with the intent
to sell or offer for sale in the State with a few exceptions. Flavored tobacco is considered
a starter product for youth that assists with long term tobacco use. There are countless
flavors that range from Cotton Candy, Cherry Crush, Pop Tart, Banana Blast,
Wintergreen, and many more. There are 17 jurisdictions that were analyzed that have an
ordinance that prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco with some going above and beyond
SB 793 and banning all flavored tobacca In communications with jurisdictions, flavored
tobacco products are sti11 being found, mainly at significant tobacco retailers such as
smoke shops.
No Sale of Electric Smoking;Devices (ESDs)/Va�es
Electronic Cigarettes are also known as e-cigarettes, vapes, or e-vaporizers, and are
battery operated devices used to deliver nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals into the
body in an aerosol form rather than smoke. The majority of ESDs or vapes are widely
used for flavors. Following the ban on flavored tobacco,jurisdictions noticed that tobacco
companies are finding ways to circumvent the flavor ban and are calling products by the
names of colors such as `Blue." Blue could mean that its flavor is blue raspberry or
blueberry. ESDs are also what the youth are using in higher rates. The State's flavor ban
does leave room for interpretation on what is and is not considered flavored tobacco.
Jurisdictions have decided to go one step further and prohibit the sale of a11 ESDs for this
reason. Since the majority of ESDs are flavored, jurisdictions reported minimal impacts
to prohibiting the sale of ESDs. The Environmental Protection Agency classifies ESDs as
hazardous waste due to their lithium batteries and nicotine in the liquid. There are seven
jurisdictions analyzed that have prohibited the sale of ESDs.
No Sellin�of Tobacco at Pharmacies
Jurisdic�ions have restricted pharmacies from selling tobacco and tobacco related
products. This ordinance is based off pharmacies being a place people go to for health
care and medicine. It can send a mixed message about their safety because it is where
people purchase healthcare products. There are 11 jurisdictions analyzed that have an
ordinance in place prohibiting the sale of tobacco products at pharmacies.
Minimum Packa�e Pricin /�Quantit�quirements/No Free Samples or Discounts
Jurisdictions have imposed minimum pricing requirements and minimum packaging
requirements. The implementation of pricing req�uirements is that if tobacco prod�ucts are
priced higher, then they are likely to be unaffordable by youth. Higher prices make
prod�ucts less appealing and can make people use tobacco products less. Minimum
packing requirements is thought to have the same logic. Cigarettes are already required to
be sold in packs of 20 but cigars can be sold in singles. Some examples analyzed include:
minimum priee for a pack of cigarettes to be no lower than $7 or $10; little cigars to be
sold in packs of five or more and to be priced no less than $7; and smokeless tobacco to
be no less than $10. Jurisdictions that have imposed minimum pricing and packaging
ordinances have also imposed discount restrictions to back up the minimum pricing
P'acket Pg. 263
Report to Redding City Council September 22, 2024
Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 5
requirement. Coupons and free samples are prohibited under State law. Six jurisdictions
analyzed have requirements on tobacco pricing and quantity packaging requirements.
Smoke Free Mu1ti-Family Housin�
Jurisdictions have set no smoking requirements for multi-family housing. This restriction
is in place to protect residents from second hand smoke, minimize fire risk, and provide
overall quality of life to residents. The restriction includes no smoking in the building and
in common areas with a designated smoking area away from the building or any units.
There are nine jurisdictions that were analyzed that have created an ordinance prohibiting
smoking in multi-family housing.
Other Regulations Found
• Tobacco retailer must obtain a use permit through the jurisdiction's planning
department to operate within a certain distance to a youth facility;
• No significant tobacco retailers. A significant tobacco retailer can be defined as their
primary purpose is to sell tobacco and tobacco related products;
• No significant tobacco retailers to operate within a certain distance to residential
property;
• No deliveries of tobacco products to be made by employees or by private delivery
drivers;
• No placing tobacco products or advertising within 5 feet of candy, snacks, and
nonalcoholic beverages;
• No advertising of tobacco products within 500 feet of a youth sensitive area; and
• No advertising of tobacco products on windows or advertising to be seen from
outside the establishment.
Majority of all jurisdictions analyzed that have imposed tobacco retailing restrictions allowed
legally operating tobacco retailers to continue to operate post adoption of their ordinance as long
as the tobacco retailer was in good standing. This included businesses that were within required
distances to youth facilities and within proximity to other tobacco retailers, and if a TRL cap was
initiated. Some offered grace periods such as San Jose, to sell off flavored tobacco which was
prior to the State banning flavored tobacco. Santa Maria required pharmacies to immediately
stop selling tobacco and San Luis Obispo County immediately required businesses to cease
selling ESDs. Further break down of ordinances and analysis can be found on the attached
Tobacco Retailer Regulation Comparison spreadsheet.
What is and is not workin�
The Council directed staff to follow up on what is and is not working. The jurisdictions that are
successfully running a TRL program, provide education, inspections, and enforcement, feel like
their ordinance is working to prevent youth access to tobacco prod�ucts. If the jurisdiction has a
density limit, it prevents the over density of more tobacco retailers from operating. Jurisdictions
feel that to be able to back up enforcement with fines and TRL suspension and revocation assist
greatly in preventing retailers from being a bad actor. Fines allow the jurisdiction to immediately
issue a citation for when violations are found such as a business selling flavored tobacco. If a
business continues to sell flavored tobacco a jurisdiction can then issue a second citation and can
suspend their TRL or work towards full revocation. Many jurisdictions expressed the use of
discretion when deciding on the level of enforcement to be issued. It was reported that
Packet Pg.2�4
Report to Redding City Council September 22, 2024
Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 6
suspension and revocation of TRL can be stronger than fines but having a11 available options is
best.
The City of San Jose operates a decoy program and issues a citation amount of$2,500 for selling
to a youth. The San Jose City Code Enforcement Inspector felt like the fine amount should be
higher due to one business being fined twice for selling to a decoy on two different occasions.
The City of San Jose has smaller fine amounts for other violations such as selling flavored
tobacco. Other cities have set fine amounts up to $5,000, and include suspension and revocation
of the stores' TRL. A TRL suspension could have a higher business impact over a smaller fine
amount on a business because the store physically has to remove all tobacco products from their
store shelfs for a certain amount of time. Sonoma County has the ability to suspend a TRL and
issue a citation. Some jurisdictions are able to suspend a TRL for any violation of their Tobacco
Retail Ordinance. Jurisdictions with higher fines, suspensions and revocation of TRL are able to
effectively enforce tobacco restrictions to ensure retailers are always in compliance.
In the study that was performed, 2021 State of Tobacco Conti^ol.• Califo�nia Local G�ades", for a
TRL ordinance to be successful in reducing the sale of tobacco to minors it should include:
• A sufficient fee for the TRL to cover administration and enforcement efforts;
• Permission to sell tobacco through an annuallicense that must be renewed annually;
• Include provisions against any state laws in ordinance; and
• Financial deterrent that includes fines, penalties, suspensions and revocation of the
license.
In the report Tobacco Retailer�icensing is Effective, 41 jurisdictions were analyzed in 2018 and
determined that youth sales rates dropped following the adoption of a strong tobacco retailer
licensing ordinance. This was determined from youth purchase surveys administered by local
agencies. The report indicates that a TRL alone will not decrease youth access but with
enforcement and education regarding the local regulations wi11 always be needed. Six of the
jurisdictions that were analyzed were included this report (Davis, Elk Grove, Grass Valley,
Oroville, San Luis Obispo County, and Woodland).
City of Redding (City) Tobacco Retailer Landscape
In the City there are 119 tobacco retailers. Staff worked with the County of Shasta and the State
to obtain the actual amount of tobacco retailers to include sole proprietors, husband and wife co-
owners, and domestic partners. The below table shows the number of store types that hold a
CDTFA issued tobacco retailers license:
Reddin Tobacco Retailers
Gas Station 39
Smoke Sho / Si nificant Tobacco Retailers 29
Small Market/ Convenience Store 25
Li uor Store 8
Pharmac 8
Su er Market 7
Golf Course 2
Wine 1
Staff worked with the City's Information and Technology Department's Geographic Information
System personnel to map a11 tobacco retailer adresses and compare their distance to youth
Packet Pg.265
Report to Redding City Council September 22, 2024
Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page �
sensitive locations, and their distance to other tobacco retailers. Staff defined youth sensitive
locations as the same as in the City's cannabis ordinance which includes schools, parks, and
child care facilities. Of these stores there are 20 youth sensitive areas that are located within
1,000 feet of a tobacco retailer. There are 100 tobacco retailers that are located within 500 feet of
another tobacco retailer. The population density is one tobacco retailer for every 787 residents.
Local Enforcement
RPD received a grant earlier this year to perform decoy operations. RPD receives $1,500 per
operation and must perform five operations a year with each operation requiring 10-12 retailer
visits. To date, RPD has performed three tobacco decoy operations that included 41 decoy
attempt purchases of tobacco. In all, five sales were made by a youth decoy. One tobacco retailer
sold to a decoy twice on two different operations. The four stores are smoke shops and would be
considered a significant tobacco retailer. Of these four store stores, two are located within 500
feet of another tobacco retailer and none are located within 1,000 feet of a youth sensitive area.
In June of 2024 the CDTFA was in in the City doing inspections with Shasta County's Tobacco
Compliance Specialist and RPD. Their mission was to ensure tobacco retailers were properly
licensed through the State and have all proper invoices for their products dating back to a year.
They are also able to confiscate illegally imported tobacco and cannabis products. They are
unable to confiscate flavored tobacco which falls under the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) and they did not perform underage decoy purchases. They inspected seven
tobacco retailers in Redding and found violations at all seven of the retailers. The violations
range from confiscation of illegally imported products, confiscation of cannabis products, and
confirmation of flavored tobacco. The seven stores inspected were all smoke shops. Two of these
stores were issued a citation and the total amount of confiscated illegal products exceeded
$9,000. Three of these seven retailers sold to a minar as part of RPDs decoy operations earlier
this year.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) performs random and unannounced decoy operations
and has their inspection logs publicly available on their website. From January 1, 2022, to July
16, 2024, there was one sale to a decoy out of 22 attempts. Their follow up procedure for a decoy
sale is to send a warning letter, then after another confirmed sale, the FDA can follow up with
civil penalties, injunctions, and criminal prosecution. The confirmed sale to a decoy was made at
a smoke shop or significant tobacco retailer.
How Kids are Targeted
Kids are targeted by tobacco companies in several different ways. The largest is advertising. The
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that cigarette and smokeless tobacco
companies spent $8.2 billion in 2019 on advertising and promotional expenses'i' This includes
incentives to retailers by tobacco companies to offer price disco�unts, promotions, and stocking
certain brands. Lower prices and discounts are more appealing to lower income residents and
more appealing to youth. Tobacco products such as a pack of three small cigars can be found for
$1.19 in the City.
The advertising of tobacco products includes how they are packaged. The packaging of tobacco
products is made and designed similar to candy products. This can make it very appealing to
youth. The placement of tobacco products and advertising are typically placed near candy, soft
drinks, and adjacent to the cash register in places likely to be seen by youth. Advertisements can
also be strategically placed outside to be seen by youth passing by.
Packet Pg.266
Report to Redding City Council September 22, 2024
Re: 9.1(a)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 8
Flavors and ESDs are also more appealing to youth. Flavors can hide the distinct tobacco flavor
and can make products easier to inhale. Flavored tobacco products have been banned in the State
but flavored products are still being found in stores. ESDs come in a variety of designs, relatively
low in price, easily concealable, and have high nicotine content that can make it very addicting to
users.
Next Steps
If the Council would like to move forward with any potential tobacco retail ordinance and/ or
TRL program, staff can further analyze and prepare an ordinance to bring back to the Council at
a future date for possible adoption. This process will include necessary outreach with
stakeholders, work with the City Attorney's Office and any other necessary departments.
Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further
action is required.

SUBJECT: 9.1(c)--Consider accepting report regarding tobacco retailing in the City of
Reddin .
Recommendation
Accept the report on tobacco retailing and provide direction to staff regarding next steps.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with accepting this report. If the City Council (Council) would like �o
alter the former Council's September 2024 previous direction to staff which was to create a
Tobacco Retail License (TRL) ordinance specific to vape/smoke shops there would be associated
staff time costs with updating the ordinance.
The Redding Police Department (RPD) has received two tobacco use prevention related grants.
The first grant is with the County of Shasta to perform decoy operations through March 15,
2026. The grant consists of five operations a year with each operation consisting of 10 to 12
retailer visits per operation — revenue received per operation is $1,500. The second grant is
through the California Department of J�ustice that provides $630,569 through October 31, 202'7.
This grant funds police officers to administer and conduct enforcement operations that include
retail inspections, decoy operations, shoulder tap, undercover buys, and retailer education.
Alternative Action
The Council could choose to not accept the report or move fo�vard with implementation of a
TRL or provide other direction.
Report to Redding City Council March 12, ZOZ5
Re: 9.1(c)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Tobacco Retailing Page 2
Background/Analysis
On February 6, 2024, staff presented a report to the Council outlining current California laws and
tobacco enforcement practices in various jurisdictions, including Shasta County. The Council
accepted the report and directed staff to conduct further research on tobacco enforcement
practices in other California municipalities and determine what is and is not working regarding
tobacco enforcement, and any other information as it relates to tobacco retailers.
Staff canvased the municipalities for information related to tobacco retailers and returned to
Council on September 17, 2024 to present this information. Staff analyzed 48 jurisdictions with
28 of them requiring retailers to have a local TRL. This is in addition to the state license that is
required by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration for any retailers who sell
tobacco products. The cost of the state license is $265 and must be renewed annually. It is
intended to prevent retailers from selling unregulated tobacco products.
Municipalities that require a TRL also require an annual fee in concert with the TRL, and allows
for local control, and enforcement capabilities over tobacco retailers in their jurisdiction. Many
jurisdictions have set their ordinances to go above and beyond what the federal and state law
requires. Jurisdictions that are successfully running a TRL program also provide education,
inspections, and enforcement to their tobacco retailers.
The Council accepted the September 17, 2024 staff report on tobacco retailing and directed staff
to return with a TRL ordinance for vape and smoke shops, and include fee options to fund
enforcement through both code enforcement and law enforcement, for consideration at a future
Council meeting.
Following the September 17, 2024 meeting, staff worked on both a TRL ordinance specific to
vape and smoke shops and worked on fee options to fund the TRL program. The TRL ordinance
specific to vape and smoke shops is still under review and not ready to be presented at this time.
The options to oversee the TRL program could be either RPD or Redding Code Enforcement
(RCE).
If the Council would like to pursue implementing a TRL program, the fee for the TRL will vary
depending on the overseeing department; RPD or RCE. The fee wi11 also vary depending if it is
vape/smoke shop only, or for all tobacco retailers. It was noted at the September 17, 2024
Council meeting, that there are 29 vape/smoke shops and 119 tobacco retailers in the City of
Redding.
RPDs identified resource needs to oversee a TRL program would be one fu11-time Police Officer
position and a half-time Sergeant position. RPD is currently receiving funding through the
above-mentioned grant for tobacco use prevention related enforcement and education activities.
RCE's identified resource needs to run the TRL program would be one full-time Neighborhood
Preservation Officer and a half-time Admin Assistant. The following are the estimated costs for
RPD and RCE to successfully cover administration and enforcement efforts based on their
identi�ed needs to run a TRL program based off the number of tobacco retailers.

The TRL program costs are significantly reduced if requiring all tobacco retailers to be licensed
versus the vape/smoke shops only. TRL program costs are even further reduced with RCE
overseeing the program. The cost of the TRL covers staff time costs to run the TRL program and
includes education, inspections, and enforcement for tobacco retailers. Of course the cost could
be further reduced if the Council wanted to lower the amount of oversight or wished to subsidize
the activity with the General Fund.
At the February 18, 2025, Council meeting, agenda item 12, the Council directed staff to bring
back the TRL item for further direction. If the Council would like to move forward with altering
the previously directed tobacco retail ordinance for vape/smoke shops, staff can further analyze
and update the ordinance to bring back to the Council at a future date for possible adoption. This
process will include necessary outreach with stakeholders, work with the City Attorney's Office
and any other necessary departments.
