stated he did not feel buffering would make an impact and indicated support for forwarding the Youth Commission recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner Brown stated a 1000-foot buffer would decrease availability and usage. He suggested a 12- to 18-month transition period or allowing grandfathering, going dark, with local licensing, with a three-strikes provision. Commissioner Allen concurred with Commissioner Brown. Commissioner Balch questioned why citywide was not considered for a retail license, going dark and two strikes. Ms. Seto explained why citywide licensing was not recommended, and the proposed prohibition on flavored tobacco and e-cigarettes and paraphernalia. The Commission summarized its discussion and opinions on Options A and B, "going dark," buffer distance, licensing and grandfathering. Commissioner Brown moved to recommend approval of Case P19-0389 and adopt the Youth Commission recommendation to restrict tobacco sales within 1,000 feet of public schools, public parks and public recreation facilities; allow existing tobacco stores to remain in operation as legal non-conforming uses; and require existing tobacco retailers to phase out sales of tobacco products, with the following options for modifications: 1) Allow tobacco retailers within 1,000-foot buffer 12-18 months to phase- out tobacco products; 2) Require all tobacco retailers and tobacco stores city-wide to obtain a tobacco retailers license (TRL); "grandfather" existing tobacco stores and tobacco retailers within 1,000-foot buffer and allow them to continue to sell tobacco products; require "grandfathered" retailers to "Go Dark" (not visibly display or advertise tobacco products); adopt enforcement provisions for TRL, with failure to comply with sales or Go Dark provisions resulting in revocation of "grandfathering" rights and TRL. Commissioner Allen seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Allen, Balch, Brown, O'Connor and Ritter NOES: None ABSENT: None Resolution PC-2020-02 approving Case P19-0389 was adopted, with alternate recommendations, as motioned.
