HEARING - Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Public Health Division, Tobacco Use Prevention Program and the Planning and Building Department (Planning) recommending the Board: 1) Adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Urgency Ordinance 5197 pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, extending an interim forty-five day moratorium for ten months and fifteen days, on new tobacco retailer applications for all purposes within the unincorporated areas in El Dorado County, pending the study and development of reasonable regulations (4/5 vote required); 2) Find that the extension interim moratorium is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and even if it were a project, it would be exempt from the CEQA pursuant to statutory exemption CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3)(Common Sense Exemption) because there is no possibility that adoption of this temporary moratorium would have a significant effect on the environment; 3) Receive the requested presentation on tobacco retail zoning and licensing provisions; and 4) Direct staff to return with a tobacco retail license draft ordinance that reflects Board direction.
