of a state tc�bacco control law(Calif�rnia Business &Profe�sions Code § 22971.3); and
X. Requiring tabacco retailers to obtain a tabacco retailer license will not u�duly burden
legitimate business activities ofx�tailers who sell tobacco products ta adults but will,however,
allow the City council to regulate the t�peratic�n c�f lawful businesses to discourage vic�lations
af federal,state, and local tobacco control and youth tobacco access laws, as evidenced by the
