Smoke-Free Multi-Family Housing: Proposed Timeline for Updated Regulations
End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That Council reviews this informational report regarding the proposed schedule for evaluating and potentially adopting regulations regarding smoking within multi-family residential developments and makes any adjustments to the proposed timeline as the next three-year Strategic Roadmap is developed.
End
SUMMARY
The City has adopted ordinances and codes regulating smoking in many public places; however, the regulations specifically exempt private residences. The community has reached out to Council and staff requesting that the City take action immediately to regulate smoking in residential areas as well, specifically multi-family complexes. While staff recommends working to implement these regulations, it is important to schedule and prioritize this project within the context of the existing workload consistent with the projects already designated in the Strategic Roadmap. Based on review of the existing Strategic Roadmap and available staff resources, staff proposes completing this effort as a year one project in the next three-year Strategic Roadmap that commences in fiscal year 2023-24.
