Omar Wazwaz is requesting a tobacco license for 19112 Freeport Street. All application materials have <br />been submitted as of February 15, 2011, and the police chief has signed off on the background check. <br />Omar Wazwaz did have a tobacco license for the Freeport store for 4 months in 1999. There were no <br />issues raised at that time. <br />Summarizing Elk River City Code Section 26-40, a license may not be issued for a tobacco products shop <br />where the location is: <br />^within 500 feet of a school or park property; and <br />^in amulti-tenant facility and does not have its own separate ventilation system. <br />The Freeport store was gxandfathered in from having to meet these requirements when the new tobacco <br />ordinance was adopted in July 2008. A change in ownership requires compliance with the new ordinance. <br />Per Section 26-71 no transfers are allowed and relocation or sale of a business shall require the approval <br />and issuance of a new license. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ Location Map <br />^ July 16, 2007 Minutes Regarding Council Reasons fox Moratorium <br />^ April 14, 2008 Worksession Minutes Regarding Council Comments <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Coundl RCA\Licensing\Tobacco\2011\Smoke Shop.doc <br />
