Chief Administrative Office, Planning and Building Department, and
Environmental Management Department recommending the Board:
1) Approve the Introduction (First Reading) of an Ordinance 5248
repealing Ordinance 5211, including repeal of Chapter 8.68 of Title 8 of

tobacco retailers and establishment of a tobacco retail license, waive
reading of the full Ordinance, read by title only, and continue this
matter to October 28, 2025, for Final Passage (Second Reading);
2) Find that the proposed ordinance is not a “project” within the
meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15378
because the repeal of regulations of tobacco retailers do not have the
potential of resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect
physical change in the environment.
