To: City Council FROM: David Erwin DATE: June 12, 2008 RE: City of Palm Desert Non-smoking Ordinance (No. 1154A) Attached please find the non-smoking ordinance you requested. Please note that in my opinion, the City of Calabasas has the most comprehensive and restrictive non-smoking ordinance in California. I used Calabasas as a model. In addition, my office called and emailed management at The Beverly Hills Hotel to discuss its smoking policy several times, no one responded. I imagine, however, that its smoking policy closely follows the City of Beverly Hills Municipal Code which states: Smoking is prohibited in all open air dining areas located on private or public property, including the public right of way. In addition, smoking is prohibited within five feet (5') of an open air dining area, except while actively passing on the way to another destination. Notwithstanding this prohibition, smoking shall be allowed in up to twenty five percent (25%) of contiguous deck space surrounding hotel swimming pools. (Beverly Hills Municipal Code § 5-4-2) A similar provision is in the draft ordinance. Following is a list of the various local restricted smoking laws reviewed and copies are attached: Belmont Beverly Hills Burbank Calabasas El Cajon San Luis Obispo Santa Monica I'll be happy to respond to any questions or make any modification desired by the Council.
