Public Hearing – CUP Amendment
Applicant: Home Health Care Plus, Inc.
Address: 800 Boone Avenue North
Purpose: To modify an existing condition that limits the use of Boone Ave for loading, unloading,
and parking of buses and vans
Zimmerman introduced the request which involved revising an existing condition on Conditional Use
Permit No. 119 for an adult day care at 800 Boone Ave N. He stated that a condition was added at the
end of 2018 that prohibited the adult day care business from loading, unloading, and parking vans or
buses on Boone Avenue. In September of 2019, the business was observed to be in violation of this
condition. Staff sent a notice and was contacted by the operator who stated that they had never been
informed of the condition and needed to utilize Boone Avenue for their clients for loading and unloading.
Staff indicated that the only way to do that was to apply for a CUP amendment to remove or modify the
condition.
Zimmerman reminded the Commissioners that loading, unloading, and parking of vans and buses on
Boone Avenue had been restricted on the west side of the road due to safety concerns around visibility
while exiting driveways, but that the Commission had decided to restrict all activity on both sides of the
street and require it to be conducted entirely on‐site. He highlighted the way the site was being used by

the adult day care, with approximately 175 clients using the west (front) entrance over roughly 65 trips
in an average day. Some additional trips are taken via a southeast entrance to the building within the
parking lot. He noted that bike lanes are being planned for Boone Avenue in 2020, likely requiring
parking restrictions along the street regardless of any conditions associated with the CUP.
Zimmerman highlighted the concerns the applicant had raised with moving activity off of Boone Avenue
to the southeast entrance, which included: a lack of accessible accommodations at that entrance, the
entrance being smaller in size, and the resulting longer trip through the building for clients. He noted
that two options has been proposed by the applicant as potential ways to accommodate continuing to
use Boone Avenue, including bumping in the east curb line to create a dedicated loading area or
constructing a horseshoe drive that would bring clients closer to the front door. He demonstrated the
various distances clients would need to walk to access the building under various scenarios.
Zimmerman pointed out that there are a conforming number of parking spaces within the existing
parking lot to meet the zoning code, and that front yard restrictions prohibit parking or drive aisles
within the front yard setback without a variance. He stated the Engineering staff had concerns about
traffic conflicts, queueing, the amount of impervious surfaces, and maintenance under either of the
potential solutions proposed by the applicant.
Zimmerman reviewed the findings necessary to approve a CUP and stated that staff did not feel three of
them had been met and therefore was recommending denial.
Baker asked if the parking analysis took into account the other businesses in the building. Zimmerman
said that the calculations were based on the square footage requirements listed in the zoning code.
Johnson asked if the property owner should be the applicant rather than the business operator.
Zimmerman replied the owner signed the application, but that the business operator was the one who
was asking for the modification to the condition. Johnson then asked about the number of clients that
are being served. Zimmerman replied that they are allowed to have as many as the MN Department of
Human Services allows, which in this case is up to 300. Johnson then asked if this was the property
where vegetation was removed along Bassett Creek without a permit. Zimmerman said that it was but
that the property owner had worked with the City to prepare a plan to reestablish vegetation beginning
in the spring.
Segelbaum asked for clarification about how parking spaces are assigned to various users of a property.
Zimmerman explained that staff evaluates if there are enough spaces to meet code, but does not delve
into the details of which users occupies which spaces. Segelbaum asked if there had been any
discussions about adding pervious surfaces to offset the impact of paving a portion of the front yard.
Zimmerman said no, but that it would likely be a condition of approval of any variance by the Board of
Zoning Appeals. Sadeghi asked if staff were aware of the actual percentage of the site that was
impervious. Zimmerman said that amount had not been provided.
Pockl asked if parking along Boone Avenue would be prohibited if bike lanes were installed. Zimmerman
replied that it would be likely if the project moved forward, but that making that decision would not

happen until outreach occurred in the late spring of 2020. Baker asked if there were other recent
situations in which decisions were made in part based on future bike lane installations. Zimmerman
replied that it was discussed with respect to a recent action by Borton Volvo, but ultimately it did not
play a role in the site plan approval.
Blum asked if there had previously been a revocation of the CUP. Zimmerman explained that the City
Council had voted to revoke the CUP if no agreement could be reached regarding changes to the
approved conditions, but that the Planning Commission worked with the property owner and did agree
on new permit language so the revocation never took effect.
Baker questioned how the business operator could not have been aware of the restrictions in the CUP.
Zimmerman indicated that the property owner was aware of the conditions, but that it was up to them
to share the conditions with the tenants of the building.
Christine Eid, attorney representing the applicant, addressed the Planning Commission along with
Innessa Marinov, applicant, and Randy Engel, Buetow 2 Architects. They explained there were actually
three businesses operating within the building, including a rehabilitation business, and that Home Health
Care Plus had been in operation at the location for over 10 years. Eid conveyed that the operator was
not aware of the Boone Avenue restrictions and had not been knowingly engaging in a violation. They
stated that it would be extremely difficult to have clients travel through the building to reach the adult
day care area and that using Boone Avenue was critical.
Engel stated that he worked with the property owner to obtain the original CUP and had worked through
the recent amendment regarding after hours activities. He agreed that providing access for clients
through the building would be very difficult and pointed out that entrances to the southwest and
northeast were not accessible entrances. He disputed the staff findings that three of the factors of
evaluation for the CUP were found not to be met. He said that there have been no issues with traffic
congestion or accidents, that buses do not queue but arrive in a staggered fashion, that landscaping
could be added to offset the addition of a paved area in the front yard, and that any flooding could be
addressed by adding a drain to the storm sewer.
Segelbaum asked who would bear the cost of these proposed changes. Engel said there would need to
be an arrangement between the City and the property owner. Engel also claimed that the City had
previously granted approval to the owner to utilize Boone Avenue for drop‐offs and pick‐up and that the
introduction of bike lanes was unfairly impacting the business.
Johnson asked who is the owner of the property; Engel replied that Pro Partners owns the property.
Johnson asked who runs the business; Marinov replied that she operates Health Care Plus. Eid clarified
that the property owner was not present. Blum asked if there was any shared interest between the
property owner and any of the businesses in the building. Marinov replied that she did not believe so.
Sahdegi asked if buses park on Boone Avenue. Marinov said no, they only load and unload on Boone.
Pockl asked for clarification regarding the unloading of buses. Marinov said the buses arrive every five

December 9, 2019 – 7:00 pm
4
minutes to drop off clients and that there are additional trips out during the day that depart from Boone
Avenue.
Sahdegi asked if the applicant had looked at any interior modifications to provide better access. Engel
said no, they did not believe there were any realistic options. Baker asked if the northeast entrance
could be utilized. Engel replied that because it leads to a different business it is not possible. Segelbaum
stated that is appeared to be less expensive to enhance the southwest entrance or enhance the walk
along the west side of the building than to install a new driveway, with or without drainage.
Engel reiterated that internal modifications were not possible and apologized for not having a complete
floor plan available. Johnson pointed out that using one of the other entrances would get clients indoors
more quickly. Engel replied that using the other entrances would require walking through other business
areas and would be disruptive and would not really work.
Pockl pointed out that the spaces south of the building were off limits to parking for buses. Segelbaum
clarified with the applicant that no buses or vans were currently being parked in those spaces.
Blum asked Eid if she had background in evaluating the abilities of the elderly in terms of commenting on
their ability to travel through the interior of the building. She replied no. Blum asked Engel if he had
engineering expertise in order to evaluate the drainage situation in the front yard of the property. He
replied that he did not but that he has experience looking at similar situations. Eid added that denial of a
CUP must be based on facts and that the City would need to provide an analysis if they were
recommending denial based on those assertions.
Blum asked Marinov to clarify the ownership structure of each of the businesses within the building and
the owner of the property and building as well.
Blum opened the public hearing. Seeing no one wishing to comment, Blum closed the public hearing.
Segelbaum asked if all of the factors of the CUP evaluation needed to be met in order to recommend
approval. Blum stated that he believed that was the case and Zimmerman agreed. Segelbaum stated that
he believed the factor dealing with visual impact had failed to be resolved by the applicant. Baker
pointed out that the owner of the building would need to undertake any modifications to the property
and without the owner present he did not feel an evaluation could adequately be carried out. Segelbaum
stated that given the miscommunication surrounding the last permit amendment, it appeared to be
important to have both the owner and the operator present. Johnson agreed, and added that a full
evaluation of the costs of all of the various options would be worthwhile.
Baker recommended the agenda item be continued in order to allow the property owner to attend a
future meeting and discuss all of the options before making a decision. Segelbaum agreed.
MOTION made by Baker, seconded by Segelbaum, to continue the agenda item to the January 13, 2020,
Planning Commission meeting and the motion carried unanimously.

Discussion – Narrow Lots
Zimmerman reminded Commissioners about the process and goals of examining the City’s regulation
around narrow lot residential homes. The previous meetings discussed setbacks, height, massing, tree
removal, and stormwater management and also a panel of realtors to discuss the current housing
market. Zimmerman explained that tonight’s discussion would include presentations by architects and
builders with experience designing for homes on narrow lots. Discussion would also cover lot coverage,
site design, and solar access. He noted that a public forum would be held on January 16 to gather input
from residents.
Zimmerman introduced the architecture/builder discussion. He noted that staff submitted some
preliminary questions to representatives from design‐build firms to get the conversation started. He
then introduced Gary Aulik and Charlie Peterson from Aulik Design Group and Doug Cutting from
Greenwood Design Build.
Aulik spoke first and acknowledged that a balance that needs to be struck when building on smaller lots,
and that there are a wide range of issues that a City Council must try to balance. But in his opinion
Golden Valley has been doing a good job of creating rules that address these issues. He said the tent‐
shaped building envelope, along with setbacks, is a good tool to address the concerns over how close a
new home is to the adjacent structure and how massing is controlled.
Aulik talked about the efforts Minneapolis made a few years ago to address similar issues and how the
results were not quite what was intended. He provided some drawings that demonstrated different ways
to construct homes on narrow lots that resulted in various massing configurations, and offered some
thoughts on the impact of regulations on the aesthetics of the homes. In his opinion, it is easy to design
homes that fit on the lot but are not especially attractive, but with some slight adjustments and with the
addition of some incentives, more visually interesting homes could be encouraged. One way this could
be addressed is by encouraging designers to lower the height at which the tent‐shape tips inwards in
exchange for offering the ability for dormers to be constructed across a percentage of the length of the
home. This would reduce the impact of wall height on neighboring properties and provide the
opportunity to gain some second floor living space, while at the same time breaking up the massing and
providing more visually interesting buildings. He admitted the costs of construction for this type of
design would be a bit higher.
Johnson asked about the usefulness of split‐level homes. Aulik replied that finished space below grade is
often discounted by lenders and so it is hard to get financing. Because of the way comps are calculated,
it is easier to build “up” instead of making use of a basement. Cutting commented that constructing split‐
level homes does not add much value to a lot compared to other options. He pointed out that designing
a one‐level home means the lot needs to be fairly deep, and that the option of building “up” is more
attractive to buyers.
Blum asked for clarification around the height of the dormers that might be allowed under an
incentivized scenario. Baker noted that in the conversation with realtors that there was a weak market
for one‐level homes. He also pointed out that much of the concern around narrow lots is the amount of

shading that results from new construction. Aulik pointed out that flat roofs on garages also can help
reduce massing impacts. In closing, he asserted that encouraging good design should be a high priority
because it will result in increased values and more attractive neighborhoods.
Peterson commented on the issue of dividing tax parcels and suggested that the use of Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs) could be one way to incentivize keeping lots combined while adding value for a
new property owner.
Cutting pointed out that the articulation requirement leads to more interesting house designs, but
because bumping out into the setback area has limitations, it hampers the usefulness of that space to
the homeowner. Aulik added that limiting building width to 28 feet on a 40 foot lot leads to garage
dominated façades. Cutting pointed out that a 22 foot wide garage leaves only 6 feet for an entry.
Segelbaum asked if the presenters believed that the market was softer for 40 foot lots. Cutting stated
that one of his concerns were lots with an alley. Putting a garage at the rear of the lot eats up the back
yard with structures and driveway, leaving little yard space for the property owner. Segelbaum asked if,
with all of the challenges, it works financially to divide tax parcels and build on 40 foot lots. The
presenters answered that it does, but it is better if the regulations allow for more interesting homes to
be designed with good floor plans and that a 30 foot wide building envelope is much better. Cutting
added that leaving the lots combined makes it very hard to attract the investment needed to improve a
home. Baker summarized by saying that as much as neighbors may want combined lots to stay
combined, the financial incentives aren’t there and therefore addressing regulations to produce the
most attractive and well‐designed homes possible might be the priority. Segelbaum clarified that one
option would be to create regulations that discourage homes from being built on 40 foot lots.
Blum asked about side‐loaded garages and if they were a possibility on narrow lots. It was pointed out
that it was challenging on 40 foot lots due to the limited lot width and impervious limits. Aulik wondered
if shared driveways might help address this issue. Blum asked if a garage could be placed under the
structure, regardless of the entry point. Cutting described challenges with the slope typically needed to
access an underground garage.
Zimmerman then reviewed the lot coverage and impervious limit regulations in Golden Valley and
compared them to other peer cities. He noted that for the smallest lots up to 40% of the lot can be
covered by buildings or structures. Up to 50% of the lot can be covered by impervious surfaces – this
includes driveways, walks, patios, and swimming pools. Many other nearby cities allow similar amounts.
He acknowledged the previous discussion touched on site design, but pointed out that the R‐2 zoning
requirements do not require a two stall garage and therefore do not have the same façade implications
as narrow R‐1 lots.
Finally, he reiterated that the best way to regulate access to sunlight is to manage the massing, height,
and setbacks of homes.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Amend Conditional Use Permit (CU‐119) Modifying the
Condition Regarding the Use of Boone Avenue North
Summary
The operators of the adult day care located at 800 Boone Avenue North are requesting an
amendment to the current Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to modify a condition that
prohibits the use of Boone Ave for loading, unloading, and parking of vehicles related to the adult
day care business.
Recommended Action
Due to the additional time needed to document the interior layout of the building, the applicant
has asked that this agenda item be continued to the January 27, 2020, Planning Commission
meeting.

Date: January 13, 2020
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Rezone I‐394 Mixed Use Properties to Mixed Use,
Commercial, Office, Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, and
Institutional
Summary
Staff is requesting that 62 properties north of I‐394 be rezoned in order to come into
conformance with the land use map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Background
Over the last four to five years, the Planning Commission has had a number of discussions about
the mixed use zoning designation north of I‐394, which was applied early in 2008. After years of
evaluation, and in concert with the creation of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, a new Mixed
Use zoning district was created to replace the I‐394 Mixed Use zoning district. This zoning text
amendment was approved by the City Council on September 3, 2019, and became effective on
January 1, 2020.
The new Mixed Use district updates the zoning subdistricts, defining them by use and intensity
rather than by the maximum height of buildings allowed. It creates more nuanced regulations
around building setbacks and surface parking, and caps the amount of “non‐structure coverage”
on each property.
At this time, all properties currently zoned I‐394 Mixed Use must be rezoned since the
subdistricts associated with both the old and the new mixed use districts are not directly
compatible. In addition, the Future Land Use Map included in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
modifies the guiding land uses for a number of the I‐394 Corridor properties, redirecting many of
them away from mixed use and towards other designations.
State statute requires that all zoning designations be updated to be consistent with the land uses
identified in the Comprehensive Plan within nine months of adoption. The I‐394 Corridor
properties are the first to be rezoned; other parts of the city will follow over the first half of 2020.
2
Below is a summary of the process that was followed to approve and adopt the 2040
Comprehensive Plan:
Meeting Date Action
November 13, 2018 Planning Commission reviewed the final draft of the City’s proposed
2040 Comprehensive Plan and unanimously recommended it be
approved
December 4, 2018 City Council held a public hearing and voted to approve the plan
January 2, 2019 City Council directed staff to submit the plan to the Metropolitan
Council for final review
January 22, 2020 Metropolitan Council expected to vote to approve Golden Valley’s plan
February 4, 2020 City Council expected to adopt the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and to
approve the rezoning of the I‐394 Mixed Use properties
Analysis
Of the 62 properties currently zoned mixed use and involved in the rezoning efforts, 22 will
remain zoned mixed use. 23 additional properties are currently within a Planned Unit
Development (PUD). In these locations, the requirements of the PUD trump those of the
underlying zoning district so no change is anticipated even though the zoning designation will be
modified.
17 properties will be rezoned from I‐394 Mixed Use to Commercial (14 properties), Office (1
property) or Institutional (2 properties). More detailed descriptions of these properties and their
current uses are listed below:
Address Current Use Proposed Zoning
Unassigned Commercial – Lupient inventory storage Commercial
850 Louisiana Ave S Commercial – Benihana Commercial
6920 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – Perkins Commercial
721 Hampshire Ave S Commercial – Borton Volvo Commercial
905 Hampshire Ave S Commercial – Borton Volvo Commercial
6660 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – Burger King Commercial
6620 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – Taco Bell Commercial
900 Florida Ave S Commercial – Collision Center Commercial
850 Florida Ave S Commercial – 3rd Lair Commercial
6480 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – multi‐tenant building Commercial

6440 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – vacant restaurant Commercial
6400 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – JJ’s Clubhouse Commercial
6300 Wayzata Blvd Commercial – Ramada Commercial
6105 Golden Hills Dr Office – Preferred One Office
6075 Golden Hills Dr Open Space – Golden Hills Pond Institutional (I‐4)
6051 Golden Hills Dr Commercial – Holiday Inn Express Commercial
5050 Wayzata Blvd Open Space – stormwater pond Institutional (I‐4)
Should the City chose not to rezone any of these properties, an amendment to the Future Land
Use Map would then be required with the Met Council – modifying the soon‐to‐be‐adopted 2040
Comprehensive Plan – in order to maintain consistency between guided land use and zoning.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of amendments to the Zoning Map to rezone the properties currently
zoned I‐394 Mixed Use to the various designations in the attached document, including Mixed
Use, Commercial, Office, Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, and Institutional.

attractiveness, and sustainability of the I-394 Corridor and to implement the following principles and
recommendations of the I-394 Corridor Study:
a. Enable the corridor to evolve toward a diverse mix of land uses, including residential as well
as commercial and industrial.
b. Maximize integration rather than separation of land uses, where appropriate.
c. Maintain the corridor as an employment center.
d. Improve the visual coherence and attractiveness of the corridor.
e. Improve connectivity for all modes of transportation.
f. Foster neighborhood-serving retail and services.
g. Maintain or improve the functioning of intersections and highway interchanges.
h. Foster sustainable development and a balance between urban and natural systems.
Subdistrict A: Buildings and structures up to three stories
Subdistrict B: Buildings and structures up to six stories
Subdistrict C: Buildings and structures up to 10 stories
Mixed Use: The purpose of the Mixed Use Zoning District is to implement the following principles:
(1) Implement the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Enable appropriate locations within the City to evolve towards a diverse mix of compatible uses.
(3) Maximize integration rather than separation of uses.
(4) Improve connectivity for all modes of transportation.
(5) Provide a context suitable for high-frequency transit.
(6) Foster neighborhood-serving retail and service uses.
Neighborhood: This subdistrict allows a mix of uses including medium-density residential and
medium-scale commercial, office, and institutional uses. Properties zoned for Neighborhood
Mixed Use typically sit adjacent to County Roads or other roads classified as arterials or
collectors and are accessible via a variety of transportation modes. The target market is the
surrounding neighborhood. The built environment could incorporate freestanding businesses,
religious or civic institutions, and attached housing options including small apartment buildings.
These areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a mix of uses
within every building.
Community: This subdistrict allows a mix of uses including high-density residential and
commercial, office, and institutional uses. Properties zoned for Community Mixed Use typically
sit adjacent to State Highways or Interstates and are accessible through frequent transit service.
Target markets encompass the surrounding neighborhoods, the broader community, and even
the wider region. The built environment could include freestanding businesses, shopping areas,
employment centers, and apartment buildings. Envisioned as compact urban development areas
that serve as gateways to the city and as activity centers for the community, they allow for both
vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a mix of uses within every building
Commercial: The purpose of the Commercial Zoning District is to provide for the establishment of
commercial and service activities which draw from and serve customers in the community and are
located in areas which are well served by collector and arterial streets.
Office: The purpose of the Office Zoning District is to provide areas for the offices, clinics, day care
centers, financial institutions, and other compatible uses that serve local and regional needs. The
District fosters employment opportunities and encourages transitions between land uses. The District
is not intended to serve as an area for the sale of or handling of goods, wares, merchandise, or
commodities.
Institutional: The purpose of the Institutional Zoning District is to establish areas where both public
and private institutional uses such as schools, hospitals, parks, golf courses, nursing homes, and public
buildings may be located.
I-4: Parks, playgrounds, City offices, fire stations, and other lands incidental to the operation of
the City
Medium Density Residential (R-3): The purpose of the Medium Density Residential (R-3) Zoning
District is to provide for medium density housing (up to 10 units per acre with potential for 12 units
per acre with density bonuses) along with directly related and complementary uses. Senior and
disability housing is permitted to a density of 20 units per acre or up to five stories or 60 feet in height
with a conditional use permit.
High Density Residential (R-4): The purpose of the High Density Residential (R-4) Zoning District is to
provide for high density housing (up to 50 units per acre for multifamily dwellings and up to 70 units
per acre for senior and disability housing) along with directly related and complementary uses.
Multifamily dwellings and senior and disability housing is permitted to a density of 100 units per acre
with a conditional use permit.

Subject: Zoning Code Text Amendment – Discussion – Amending Zoning Districts to
Regulate Tobacco Sales
Summary
Following their approval of revisions to the City’s licensing ordinance regarding tobacco sales, the
City Council has asked staff and the Planning Commission to consider further amendments to the
City’s zoning code. Changes to the zoning code would primarily focus on the proximity of
tobacco‐based retail stores to one another and from places of assembly. Additionally, Council
requested some exploration into the regulation of signs or advertisement of tobacco goods.
Based on investigation of the zoning codes of other metro cities and in consultation with the City
Attorney, staff is proposing to amend the Commercial zoning district and potentially the Mixed
Use district to create new requirements for tobacco sales.
Background
As part of the 2019 goal setting process, the City Council directed staff to study the issue of
tobacco sales regulation and present options for amending the tobacco licensing ordinance.
The goal for this work is to end up with a more up‐to‐date City Code that is responsive to the
public health risks posed by tobacco to all residents but especially to children and at‐risk
communities. At the same time though, it is also the responsibility of the City to make sure these
amendments do not overly damage business owners trying to conduct and grow their businesses
in the city.
Following this direction, staff conducted several months of research and community
engagement, reviewing ordinances from peer communities and national studies, as well as
collecting resident and business owner to gauge the public interest on stiffening tobacco sales
regulation. The first round of amendments, relating to licensing regulations, were approved at
the Council meeting on October 15, 2019. At the meeting, City Council approved changes to the
City Code regarding the requirements to obtain a license for tobacco sales. Among the changes
approved, some key elements included:
2
Updating the definitions to encompass new technology and trends
Prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco
Prohibiting sales to people under 21 years‐of‐age
Capping the total licenses to be issued across the city at eight
In addition to the new licensing requirements, the Council was also interested in seeing further
regulations introduced to the zoning code. Through zoning rather than licensing, the City has
options available to help direct the location of businesses based on the allowed land uses or
other considerations such as proximity to schools or places of assembly. Studies into the impact
of local tobacco regulation has shown that a combination of location and licensing regulation
have the greatest impact on limiting youth exposure and initiation in regard to tobacco.
Evaluation
Many communities in the Twin Cities Metro have recently adopted stricter licensing and age
requirements for tobacco sales, such as Edina, Plymouth, St. Louis Park or Mendota Heights.
However, it has so far been less common to see changes made to zoning codes to limit the
density or location of tobacco‐related businesses. Both Minneapolis and Saint Paul have
requirements for minimal distance between two tobacco retailers, though neither has a spacing
requirement from schools or other youth‐oriented facilities.
Minneapolis Saint Paul
Except in the B4 zoning district, no tobacco dealers
license shall be issued for an establishment
authorized to sell flavored tobacco products
pursuant to section 281.45(f), for a location, the
main entrance of which is within a radius of two
thousand (2,000) feet from the main entrance of
an existing establishment holding a tobacco
dealers license and authorized to sell flavored
tobacco products.
No tobacco products shop shall be located within
one‐half (½) mile (2,640 feet) of another tobacco
products shop.
Certain other cities such as Plymouth do not include a requirement to be a certain distance from
other uses, but do restrict tobacco retailers to only certain Commercial zoning districts. Given the
slow rate of adoption for location based regulation of tobacco sales in the region, there is less
available comparative sources for review. Attached to this memo is a model ordinance provided
by the Public Health Law Center. City staff made significant use of this model ordinance in
amending the newly‐adopted licensing ordinance, and it will continue to be a good source
moving ahead with zoning. Based on the model ordinance, exiting research, and the work done
last year for firearm sales, staff has identified three main areas of code review.
Permitted Districts
The first and most straightforward use of zoning in the case of tobacco regulation is to determine
which of the City’s zoning districts should allow licensed tobacco retailers. This might also involve
identifying certain zoning districts that might allow licensed tobacco retailers only with certain
3
restrictions, or districts which may allow for retailers via conditional use permit. Commercial and
Mixed Use are the most likely candidates to allow for tobacco retailers to at least some degree.
Proximity Restrictions
A major tool to combat over‐densification of tobacco retailers, and one that is underutilized in
the Metro region, is to restrict future retailers based on their proximity to other types of uses
such as schools or from other tobacco retailers. By attaching proximity restrictions to the zoning
of a particular parcel, the City can limit the ability of tobacco retailers to locate near or target
youth populations. The appropriate amount of separation required for each is not an exact
science but is ultimately dependent on how many viable sites are available at the conclusion of
the exercise and if this number is legally defensible.
Site Requirements
A final consideration for the Planning Commission is whether any particular site restrictions make
sense in the case of tobacco retailers.
Summary of Recommendations
Staff would like feedback from the Commission regarding the many options available for
regulating the location of tobacco sales, including limiting possible locations and other use
restrictions. A public hearing will be required at a subsequent meeting.
The key questions that staff feels should guide this discussion would include:
1. Which zoning districts should tobacco sales be allowed in? Is it a permitted use with
restrictions or approved via a conditional use permit?
2. Should the City regulate the density of tobacco retailers (require retailers to be a set
minimum distance apart)?
3. Should the City regulate the location of tobacco retailers (require a minimum distance
from schools, parks, etc.)?
4. What distances should be used in either a density or location regulation to ensure that it
is still possible to locate a tobacco business in the city?
5. What type of site requirements might be applicable to a tobacco‐related business?

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
October 15, 2019
6.A. Second Consideration of Tobacco Licensing and Regulation Ordinance
Prepared By
Maria Cisneros, City Attorney
Kris Luedke, City Clerk
Summary
The City of Golden Valley has the authority to license the sale of tobacco and related products in the
City. As part of the 2019 goal setting process, the City Council directed staff to study the issue of
tobacco sales regulation and present options for amending the tobacco licensing ordinance. (See City
Code, Art. VI.)
Staff has spent the last several months studying tobacco sales regulation, discussing the topic with the
City's Public Health Department (Hennepin County Public Health), engaging local tobacco retailers, and
gathering input from residents and other community members.
Through this public input process, the City received extensive input from the community, which is
summarized in a Community Input Report prepared by the Communications Department. The
Community Input Report, Council/Manager meeting agendas and survey results are all available on the
City's website (click here).
At the August 13 and September 10 Council/Manager meetings, the Council reviewed the community
input and directed staff to draft a proposed ordinance incorporating the following new policies:
•Updating the definitions to encompass new technologies, nicotine products, and tobacco and
nicotine delivery devices
•Prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco, including menthol, at all retailers
•Prohibiting the sale of tobacco at pharmacies
•Prohibiting the sale of tobacco to people under 21 and requiring retailers to post signs stating
the legal age requirements
•Capping the amount of tobacco licenses issued by the City at 8
•Increasing the minimum price for certain tobacco products from $2.00 to $3.00
•Prohibiting free samples
•Requiring liquid nicotine products to be sold in child proof packaging
•Allowing additional compliance checks to ensure compliance with the new legal age
requirements
•Updating the licensing requirements, grounds for denial and penalties for violation to more

closely match similar requirements in other licensing sections of City Code
Updating the license application and background check processes to more closely match similar
requirements in other licensing sections of City Code
The first consideration was presented at the October 2, 2019, City Council meeting. (click here) If the
Council adopts the ordinance on second consideration, the new ordinance would be effective after
publication on January 1, 2020. Current license holders would not be affected until the next licensing
cycle.
If the second consideration is adopted, staff recommends the Council approve the attached summary
publication of the ordinance. To approve summary publication the Council must determine that
publication of the title and a summary of the ordinance would clearly inform the public of the intent
and effect of the ordinance.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The new regulations in the ordinance will increase the cost of enforcing tobacco sales regulations in
the City. Specifically, the Police Department will conduct additional compliance checks to ensure
tobacco is not sold to people between 18 and 20 and to ensure no prohibited products (such as
flavored tobacco) are offered for sale. Staff recommends increasing the license fee from $275 to $450
to cover these increased enforcement costs. This increase will be reflected in the proposed 2020 fee
schedule, which is scheduled for consideration at the October 15 and November 6 Council Meetings.
Recommended Action
Motion to adopt second consideration Ordinance #670, Repealing in its Entirety Article VI. Tobacco and
Adding a New Article VI. Tobacco Licensing and Regulation.
Motion to approve Summary of Ordinance #670 for Publication based on the finding that the title and
summary clearly inform the public of the intent and elect of the ordinance.

ARTICLE VI. - TOBACCO
Sec. 16-157. - Purpose and Intent.
Because the City recognizes that many persons under the age of 18 years purchase or otherwise obtain,
possess and use tobacco, tobacco productsthe sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-related devices,
electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices, and the sales, possession, and use
are violations of or lobelia delivery products to persons under the age of 18 violates both Statestate and
Federalfederal laws; and because studies, which the City hereby accepts and adopts, have shown that
mostyouth use of any commercial tobacco product has increased to 26.4% in Minnesota; and because
nearly 90% of smokers begin smoking before they have reached the age of 18 years, and that those
persons who reachalmost no one starts smoking after age 25; and because marketing analysis, public
health research, and commercial tobacco industry documents reveal that tobacco companies have used
menthol, mint, fruit, candy, and alcohol flavors as a way to target youth and young adults and that the
agepresence of 18 years without having started smoking are significantly less likely to begin smokingsuch
flavors can make it more difficult to quit; and because studies show that youth and young adults are
especially susceptible to commercial tobacco product availability, advertising, and price promotions at
tobacco retail environments; and because smokingcommercial tobacco use has been shown to be the
cause of severalmany serious health problems which subsequently place a financial burden on all levels
of government;, this article shall beordinance is intended to regulate the sale, possession and use of
commercial tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, electronic delivery devices, and
nicotine or lobelia delivery devicesproducts for the purpose of enforcing and furthering existing laws, to
protect minorsyouth and young adults against the serious health effects associated with the
illegaltobacco use of tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery
devicesand initiation, and to further the official public policy of the State in regardstate to
preventingprevent young people from starting to smoke, as stated in Minn. StatsStat. § 144.391, asitmaybeamendedfromtimetotime.
In making these findings, the City Council accepts the conclusions and recommendations of the U.S.

ORDINANCE NO. 670
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE
Repealing in its Entirety Article VI. Tobacco and Adding a New Article VI. Tobacco
Licensing and Regulations
The City Council of the City of Golden Valley ordains as follows:
Section 1. City Code, Article VI entitled “Tobacco” is hereby repealed in its entirety.
Section 2. City Code, Article VI is hereby amended by adding a new Article VI. Tobacco
Licensing and Regulation reading as follows:
ARTICLE VI. – TOBACCO
Sec. 16-157. - Purpose and Intent.
Because the City recognizes that the sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-related devices,
electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products to persons under the age of
18 violates both state and federal laws; and because studies, which the City accepts and adopts,
have shown that youth use of any commercial tobacco product has increased to 26.4% in
Minnesota; and because nearly 90% of smokers begin smoking before they have reached the
age of 18 years, and that almost no one starts smoking after age 25; and because marketing
analysis, public health research, and commercial tobacco industry documents reveal that
tobacco companies have used menthol, mint, fruit, candy, and alcohol flavors as a way to target
youth and young adults and that the presence of such flavors can make it more difficult to quit;
and because studies show that youth and young adults are especially susceptible to commercial
tobacco product availability, advertising, and price promotions at tobacco retail environments;
and because commercial tobacco use has been shown to be the cause of many serious health
problems which subsequently place a financial burden on all levels of government, this ordinance
is intended to regulate the sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-related devices, electronic
delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products for the purpose of enforcing and
furthering existing laws, to protect youth and young adults against the serious health effects
associated with tobacco use and initiation, and to further the official public policy of the state to
prevent young people from starting to smoke, as stated in Minn. Stat. § 144.391, as it may be
amended from time to time.
In making these findings, the City Council accepts the conclusions and recommendations of the
U.S. Surgeon General reports, E-cigarette Use Among Youth and Young Adults (2016), The
Health Consequences of Smoking — 50 Years of Progress (2014) and Preventing Tobacco Use
Among Youth and Young Adults (2012); the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in their
studies, Tobacco Use Among Middle and High School Students — United States, 2011–2015
2016), and Selected Cigarette Smoking Initiation and Quitting Behaviors Among High School

a) License Required. No person shall sell or offer to sell any licensed product without first
having obtained a license to do so from the City.
b) Application. An application for a license to sell licensed products shall be made on a form
provided by the City. The application shall contain the full name of the applicant, the
applicant's residential and business addresses and telephone numbers, the name of the
business for which the license is sought, and any additional information the City deems
necessary. Upon receipt of a completed application, the City Clerk shall forward the
application to the City Council for action at its next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
If the City Clerk determines that an application is incomplete, they shall return the application
to the applicant with notice of the information necessary to make the application complete.
A business applicant, at the time of application, shall furnish the City with a list of all
persons that have an interest of five percent or more in the business. The list shall name all
Ordinance No. 670 -5- October 15, 2019
owners and show the interest held by each, either individually or beneficially for others. It is
the duty of each business licensee to notify the City Clerk in writing of any change in
ownership in the business. Any change in the ownership or control of the business shall be
deemed equivalent to a transfer of the license, and any such license shall be revoked 30
days after any such change in ownership or control unless the licensee has notified the
Council of the change in ownership by submitting a new license application for the new
owners, and the Council has approved the transfer of the license by appropriate action.
Any time an additional investigation is required because of a change in ownership or
control of a business, the licensee shall pay an additional investigation fee to be
determined by the City. The City may at any reasonable time examine the transfer records
and minute books of any business licensee to verify and identify the owners, and the City
may examine the business records of any other licensee to the extent necessary to
disclose the interest which persons other than the licensee have in the licensed business.
The Council may revoke any license issued upon its determination that a change of
ownership of a licensee has actually resulted in the change of control of the licensed
business so as materially to affect the integrity and character of its management and its
operation, but no such action shall be taken until after a hearing by the Council on notice to
the licensee.
c) Action. The City Council may either approve or deny the application for a license, or it may
delay action for a reasonable period of time as necessary to complete any investigation of
the application or the applicant it deems necessary. If the City Council approves the license,
the City Clerk shall issue the license to the applicant. If the City Council denies the license,
notice of the denial shall be given to the applicant along with notice of the applicant's right to
appeal the City Council's decision. If a license application is denied, the earliest an
applicant may reapply is 12 months from the date the license is denied.
d) Term. All licenses issued under this article shall be valid for one calendar year from the date
of issue.
e) Revocation or Suspension. Any license issued under this article may be revoked or
suspended as provided in Section 16-168.

the license was issued and only for the person to whom the license was issued. The transfer
of any license to another location or person is prohibited.
g) Display. All licenses shall be posted and displayed in plain view of the general public on the
licensed premises.
h) Renewals. The renewal of a license issued under this article shall be handled in the same
manner as the original application. The request for a renewal shall be made at least 30 days
but no more than 60 days before the expiration of the current license.
i) Issuance as Privilege and Not a Right. The issuance of a license issued under this article is a
privilege and does not entitle the license holder to automatic renewal of the license.
j) Maximum Number of Licenses. The number of licenses issued under this section shall be
capped at the number of licenses in place on January 1, 2020. Any decrease in the number
of licenses that occurs after January 1, 2020 due to attrition will decrease the number of
available licenses to that extent until the number of available licenses reaches 8. When the
maximum number of licenses has been issued, the City may place persons seeking
Ordinance No. 670 -6- October 15, 2019
licensure on a waiting list and allow them to apply on a first-come, first-served basis, as
existing licenses are not renewed or are revoked. A new applicant who has purchased a
business location holding a valid license will be entitled to first priority, provided the new
applicant meets all other application requirements in accordance with this ordinance.
Sec. 16-160. - Fees.
No license shall be issued under this article until the appropriate license fee shall be paid in full.
The fee for a license under this article shall be established by the City Council and adopted in the
City fee schedule, and may be amended from time to time.
Sec. 16-161. - Ineligibility and Basis for Denial of License.

State, or local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation relating to licensed products.
4) The applicant has had a license to sell licensed products suspended or revoked during
the 12 months preceding the date of application, or the applicant has or had an interest
in another premises authorized to sell licensed products, whether in the City or in
another jurisdiction, that has had a license to sell licensed products suspended or
revoked during the same time period, provided the applicant had an interest in the
premises at the time of the revocation or suspension, or at the time of the violation that
led to the revocation or suspension.
5) The applicant is a business that does not have an operating officer or manager who is
eligible pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
6) The applicant is the spouse of a person ineligible for a license pursuant to the

Ordinance No. 670 -7- October 15, 2019
7) The applicant fails to provide any information required on the application, or provides
false or misleading information. Any false statement on an application, or any willful

refusal of license, or if already issued, shall render any license issued pursuant thereto
void and of no effect to protect the applicant from prosecution for violation of this
chapter, or any part thereof.

person was ineligible for the license under this article and the City shall provide the person
with a notice of revocation, along with information on the right to appeal.
d) No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any premises on which real estate
taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the City or of the State are due, delinquent,
or unpaid. If an action has been commenced pursuant to the provisions of Minn. Stats. ch.

licensee, waive strict compliance with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however,
for taxes, or any portion thereof, which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one year after

6. New Business
6A. Second Consideration – Ordinance #670 - Tobacco Licensing and Regulation Ordinance
City Clerk Luedke presented the staff report and answered questions from Council. City Attorney
Cisneros answered questions for Council.
Mayor Harris stated that per the Council’s agenda all ordinances listed under new business are
eligible for public input. The following participants addressed the Council.
Dr. Otieno, 8400 Golden Valley Road, said he has lived in the City for many years and worked in
the public health and dentistry area before his retirement. He said he had many patients with
tobacco related illnesses. He said nicotine is highly addictive and that patients find in hard to
quit even with a poor prognosis. He said that limiting tobacco products could keep people from
starting to smoke. He said tobacco products should not be available in pharmacies because they
provide life-saving medicines to people. He thanked the Council for letting him present tonight.
Ms. Gretchen Weinke, Golden Valley Liquor Barrel, 7890 Olson Memorial Highway, said over the
past months, there has been one-sided negative opinions regarding tobacco issues because of
the vaporing epidemic media coverage. She said local retailers have been the punching bag for
the issue. She said the local retailers were only given a shortly time to prepare for the public
forum before they were thrash before bias community members. She said only 2 percent of the
community responded to the survey and read some of the comments, which were opposed to
the ban. She said she has 15-30 customers a day buy menthol products and they will take their
business to other cities. She said if the goal is to restrict the sale of youth tobacco use that T21
would do that and if it is to ban vaping products, the favor bans accomplishes that. She asked if
menthol and wintergreen products could be excluded from the proposed favor ban.
Ms. Molly Moilanen, Vice President ClearWay Minnesota, said she is the co-chair of Minnesotans
for a Smoke free generation, which is a coalition organizations that work together to reduce
nicotine addiction and tobacco use in kids. She said the Governor released the 2019 Minnesota
Student survey data and it showed another jump in youth e-cig use. She said passing this strong
packet would allow Golden Valley to address the tobacco industry strategy and aid with health
improvements for the youth. She said it is important to keep menthol products in the ban
because the tobacco industry targets people of color with menthol marketing. She said the
coalition would continue to work at the State Capital to pass these polices and thanked the
Council for considering this strong policy.

November 2018POINT-OF-SALE
Through licensing and related
regulations, Minnesota cities
have the opportunity to address
the sale of commercial tobacco
and related devices and products
in the retail environment.
This model ordinance includes all of the minimum
retail tobacco sales restrictions required by
Minnesota state and federal law. It also includes
a number of additional provisions a city may
choose to adopt in order to further advance
public health. A city planning to adopt this model
ordinance, in whole or in part, should review it
with its city attorney beforehand to determine
suitability for the city’s circumstances. While the
model ordinance language can be modified by
adding or omitting content concerning activities
that a city does or does not seek to regulate,
doing so may result in an ordinance that does not
conform to state law, federal law, and best public
health policy practices.
Because provisions within this model ordinance
are controlled by statute and rule, the city
attorney should review any modifications to
ensure they conform to state and federal law.
In addition, because the ordinance establishes
rights and responsibilities of both the city and
license applicants and holders, the city attorney
should review the entire ordinance before it is
adopted. The Public Health Law Center provides
legal technical assistance to help communities
that wish to adopt commercial tobacco control
ordinances. We encourage communities to
contact us for assistance when considering this
model language.
MINNESOTA CITY RETAIL TOBACCO LICENSING ORDINANCE
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 2
Notice
This ordinance is drafted in the form prescribed by state law for statutory cities. Statutory
cities must publish their ordinances — or a summary thereof — in the city’s official newspaper
before they become effective. Home rule charter cities may have to follow the formatting and/
or other procedural requirements found in their city’s charter. Charter cities should consult
their charter and their city attorney to ensure that they comply with all charter requirements.
All cities must provide copies of their ordinances to the county law library or its designated
depository pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 415.021.
This ordinance may affect existing license holders. Under Minn. Stat. § 461.19, a city is required
to give retailers notice that it is considering adopting or substantially amending a retail tobacco
licensing ordinance. The city must take reasonable steps to send notice by mail at least 30
days prior to the meeting to the last known address of each licensee or person required to
hold a license. The notice must state the time, place, and date of the meeting and the subject
matter of the proposed ordinance. A city may also mail a copy of the proposed ordinance to all
existing license holders to inform them of its contents and to provide them an opportunity to
make their views known.
Additionally, Minn. Stat. § 415.19 requires statutory and home rule charter cities to post proposed
new ordinances and ordinance amendments on the city website at least 10 days prior to a final vote
by the city council, if the city already posts ordinances on its site. Under the same statute, within 10
days of a final vote, cities must also provide this same notice to all city listserv subscribers via their
electronic notification system or, if the city does not have an electronic notification system, in the
location that the city posts public notices. Cities must also provide new or renewing licensees with
information about the city’s notification procedure at the time of application.
Tips for Using This Model Ordinance
The best possible world is one without the death and health harms associated with commercial
tobacco use. Communities differ on their readiness and willingness to adopt certain commercial
tobacco control policies that are intended to help make that world a reality. As such, this
model ordinance represents a balance between state and federal minimum standards, best
public health policy practices, and practicality for city governments in Minnesota. This model
ordinance contains several policy components that go beyond state minimum requirements
and communities may or may not choose to adopt at this time, including:
{Raising the legal purchasing age to 21;
{Restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products, including menthol;
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 3
{Regulating the price of commercial tobacco products, such as establishing minimum prices
for cigars and restricting price promotions and coupon redemptions;
{Regulating the distance between tobacco retailers, youth-oriented facilities and other
retailers; and
{Prohibiting pharmacies from selling commercial tobacco products.
Context Box
Context boxes are included throughout this model ordinance to explain some key provisions.
These boxes are not meant to be included in any final ordinance. A city wishing to adopt
all or part of this model ordinance should keep this in mind and remove the context boxes.

While the Public Health Law Center does not lobby, advocate, or directly represent
communities, adopting effective commercial tobacco control policies starts early with
education, stakeholder and community engagement, and a strong advocacy plan. If a
community is unaware of the resources available to them for engaging the community and
developing an advocacy plan, or if a city is considering adopting an ordinance and is interested
in learning about the range of resources available, the Public Health Law Center can provide
assistance through our publications and referrals to experts in the field. In certain, limited
circumstances, Public Health Law Center staff may be able to speak at public hearings or work
sessions to provide education about particular policy options.
This retail tobacco licensing ordinance was prepared by the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium at the Public Health
Law Center, located at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Public Health Law Center provides information and legal technical assistance on issues related to public health.
The Center does not lobby nor does it provide direct legal representation or advice. This document should not be

Section 1. Purpose and Intent.
Because the city recognizes that the sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-related devices,
electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products to persons under the
age of 18 violates both state and federal laws; and because studies, which the city accepts
and adopts, have shown that youth use of any commercial tobacco product has increased to
26.4% in Minnesota; and because nearly 90% of smokers begin smoking before they have
reached the age of 18 years, and that almost no one starts smoking after age 25; and because
marketing analysis, public health research, and commercial tobacco industry documents reveal
that tobacco companies have used menthol, mint, fruit, candy, and alcohol flavors as a way to
target youth and young adults and that the presence of such flavors can make it more difficult
to quit; and because studies show that youth and young adults are especially susceptible
to commercial tobacco product availability, advertising, and price promotions at tobacco
retail environments; and because commercial tobacco use has been shown to be the cause
of many serious health problems which subsequently place a financial burden on all levels of
government, this ordinance is intended to regulate the sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-
related devices, electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products for the
purpose of enforcing and furthering existing laws, to protect youth and young adults against
the serious health effects associated with use and initiation, and to further the official public
policy of the state to prevent young people from starting to smoke, as stated in Minn. Stat. §

Purpose and Findings
A Purpose and Findings section is important because it provides the evidentiary basis for
the proposed commercial tobacco control policies and demonstrates the city’s reasoning
for adopting specific provisions. This Purpose and Findings section reflects language
appropriate for all of the provisions suggested. The Public Health Law Center can provide
support for communities to determine which Purpose and Findings statements and
references should be retained in a final ordinance, depending on which provisions from
the model ordinance the city chooses to adopt.

Section 3. License.
(A) License required. No person shall sell or offer to sell any licensed product without first
having obtained a license to do so from the city.
(B) Application. An application for a license to sell licensed products must be made on a
form provided by the city. The application must contain the full name of the applicant,
the applicant’s residential and business addresses and telephone numbers, the name
of the business for which the license is sought, and any additional information the city
deems necessary. Upon receipt of a completed application, the City Clerk will forward the
application to the City Council for action at its next regularly scheduled meeting. If the
City Clerk determines that an application is incomplete, it will be returned to the applicant
with notice of the information necessary to make the application complete.
(C) Action. The City Council may approve or deny the application for a license, or it may delay
action for a reasonable period of time to complete any investigation of the application or the

issue the license to the applicant. If the City Council denies the application, notice of the denial
will be given to the applicant along with notice of the applicant’s right to appeal the decision.
(D) Term. All licenses issued are valid for one calendar year from the date of issue.
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 10
(E) Revocation or suspension. Any license issued may be suspended or revoked following the
procedures set forth in Section 11.
(F) Transfers. All licenses issued are valid only on the premises for which the license was
issued and only for the person to whom the license was issued. The transfer of any license
to another location or person is prohibited.
(G) Moveable place of business. No license will be issued to a moveable place of business.
Only fixed-location businesses are eligible to be licensed.
(H) Display. All licenses must be posted and displayed at all times in plain view of the general
public on the licensed premises.
(I) Renewals. The renewal of a license issued under this ordinance will be handled in the
same manner as the original application. The request for a renewal must be made at least
30 days, but no more than 60 days, before the expiration of the current license.
(J) Issuance as privilege and not a right. The issuance of a license is a privilege and does not
entitle the license holder to an automatic renewal of the license.
(K) Minimum clerk age. Individuals employed by a licensed retail establishment under this
ordinance must be at least [ 18 or 21 ] years of age to sell licensed products.
Minimum Age for Clerks
Cities may be interested in establishing a minimum age for employees that work for
licensed tobacco retailers. Doing so ensures that employees are of or above the minimum
legal sales age for commercial tobacco sales. If a city chooses to raise the minimum legal
sales age to 21, but leave the minimum clerk age at 18, clerks between the ages of 18 and
20 can legally sell licensed products within the purview of their employment, but would
be unable to purchase them.
(L) Maximum number of licenses. The maximum number of licenses issued by the city at any
time is limited to [ see context box below ]. When the maximum number of licenses has
been issued, the city may place persons seeking licensure on a waiting list and allow them
to apply on a first-come, first-served basis, as licenses are not renewed or are revoked.
A new applicant who has purchased a business location holding a valid city license
will be entitled to first priority, provided the new applicant meets all other application
requirements in accordance with this ordinance.

www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 11
Licensing Cap
Communities with a higher density of commercial tobacco retailers expose more youth
and young adults to commercial tobacco industry marketing and make it easier for youth
and young adults to obtain licensed products. This encourages commercial tobacco
initiation, use, and brand choice. One way to address retailer density issues is to place a
cap on the number of tobacco retailer licenses that may be issued by the city. The above
provision would set the maximum number of licenses available.
Cities can choose how to structure a licensing cap to meet the needs of their communities.
Potential options include setting the cap at the number of existing licensed retailers or
limiting the number of licensed retailers based on population density. A city may also want
to limit licenses to those that currently exist and reduce the number of available licenses
over time, as licenses are revoked or expire and are not renewed. Cities are encouraged
to work with local public health departments, city attorneys, and the Public Health Law
Center to determine the appropriate licensing cap provision for their community.
For more information on retailer density, review our publication, Location, Location,
Location: Regulating Tobacco Retailer Locations for Public Health.
(M) Proximity to youth-oriented facilities. No license will be granted to any person for a
retail establishment location that is within [ 1,000 ] feet of a youth-oriented facility, as
measured by the shortest line from the property line of the space to be occupied by the
proposed licensee to the nearest property line of a youth-oriented facility. This restriction
does not apply to an existing license holder who has been licensed to sell licensed
products in that same location for at least one year before the date this section was
enacted into law.
(N) Proximity to other licensed retailers. No license will be granted to any person for a retail
establishment location that is within [ 2,000 ] feet of any other existing licensed retail
establishment , as measured by the shortest line from the property line of the space to
be occupied by the applicant for a license to the nearest property line of the existing
licensee. This restriction does not apply to an applicant who has been licensed to sell
licensed products in the same location for at least one year before the date this section
was enacted into law.
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 12
Proximity Restrictions
Research has demonstrated that policies requiring set distances between retailers and
between retailers and youth-oriented facilities help to reduce tobacco retailer density and
increase prices for commercial tobacco products. These proximity buffers have the largest
impact in urban, low-income neighborhoods, which have been historically targeted by the
tobacco industry with pervasive marketing and price promotions at the point-of-sale. The
greatest public health impacts are seen when these policies are combined with a cap on
the number of licenses issued.

Schools. Nicotine & Tobacco Research: Official Journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, 19(2), 239–244.
(O) Pharmacies ineligible for licensure. No existing license will be eligible for renewal to
any pharmacy, including any retail establishment that operates or contains an on-site
pharmacy, and no pharmacy or any retail establishment that operates an on-site
pharmacy will be granted a new license.
Pharmacy Prohibitions
Several communities have adopted laws prohibiting pharmacies from selling commercial
tobacco products. These laws have been shown to significantly reduce commercial
tobacco retailer density when compared to communities without similar laws. These gains
have had the greatest impact on neighborhoods with higher median income, education,
and proportion of non-Hispanic white residents. Although pharmacy restrictions alone
are unlikely to address health disparities, some studies have shown that these policies are
most effective when combined with proximity restrictions.

December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 13
(P) Smoking prohibited. Smoking, including smoking for the purpose of the sampling of
licensed products, is prohibited within the indoor area of any retail establishment licensed
under this ordinance.
(Q) Samples prohibited. No person shall distribute samples of any licensed product free of
charge or at a nominal cost.
(R) Instructional program. Licensees must ensure that all employees complete a training
program on the legal requirements related to the sale of licensed products and the
possible consequences of license violations. Any training program must be pre-approved
by the city. Licensees must maintain documentation demonstrating their compliance
and must provide this documentation to the city at the time of renewal, or whenever
requested to do so during the license term.
Section 4. Fees.
No license will be issued under this ordinance until the appropriate license fees are paid in full.
The fees will be established by the city’s fee schedule and may be amended from time to time.
Licensing Fees
Fees provide revenue for the administration and enforcement of the ordinance and for
retailer and community education. Periodic review and adjustment of licensing fees
will ensure that they are sufficient to cover all administration, implementation, and
enforcement costs, including compliance checks. Our publication, Retail License Fees,
provides more information about retail licensing fees and a license fee checklist.
Section 5. Basis for Denial of License.
(A) Grounds for denying the issuance or renewal of a license include, but are not limited to,
the following:
(1) The applicant is under 21 years of age.
(2) The applicant has been convicted within the past five years of any violation of a federal,
state, or local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation relating to licensed products.
(3) The applicant has had a license to sell licensed products suspended or revoked within
the preceding 12 months of the date of application.
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 14
(4) The applicant fails to provide any of the information required on the licensing
application, or provides false or misleading information.
(5) The applicant is prohibited by federal, state, or other local law, ordinance, or other
regulation from holding a license.
(B) Except as may otherwise be provided by law, the existence of any particular ground for
denial does not compel the city to deny the license.
(C) If a license is mistakenly issued or renewed to a person, it will be revoked upon the discovery
that the person was ineligible for the license under this ordinance. The city will provide the
license holder with notice of the revocation, along with information on the right to appeal.
Section 6. Prohibited Acts.
(A) In general. No person shall sell or offer to sell any licensed product:
(1) By means of any type of vending machine.
(2) By means of loosies as defined.
(3) Containing opium, morphine, jimson weed, bella donna, strychnos, cocaine, marijuana,
or other deleterious, hallucinogenic, toxic, or controlled substances except nicotine
and other substances found naturally in tobacco or added as part of an otherwise
lawful manufacturing process. It is not the intention of this provision to ban the sale of
lawfully manufactured cigarettes or other products subject to this ordinance.
(4) By any other means, to any other person, on in any other manner or form prohibited
by federal, state or other local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation.
(B) Legal age. No person shall sell any licensed product to any person under the age of 21.
(1) Age verification. Licensees must verify by means of government-issued photographic
identification that the purchaser is at least 21 years of age. Verification is not required
for a person over the age of 30. That the person appeared to be 30 years of age or
older does not constitute a defense to a violation of this subsection.
(2) Signage. Notice of the legal sales age and age verification requirement must be
posted prominently and in plain view at all times at each location where licensed
products are offered for sale. The required signage, which will be provided to the
licensee by the city, must be posted in a manner that is clearly visible to anyone who
is or is considering making a purchase.

Raising the Minimum Legal Sales Age (MLSA) to 21
In 2015, the Institute of Medicine (now the Health and Medicine Division of the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) (IOM) released a report containing
compelling evidence of the significant public health benefits of raising the minimum
legal sales age (MLSA) for tobacco products. The IOM concluded that raising the MLSA
today to 21 would result in a 12 percent decrease in tobacco use, approximately 223,000
fewer premature deaths, 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer, and 4.2 million fewer
years of life lost for those born between 2000 and 2019. Based on studies showing the
effectiveness of enforced youth access laws, increasing the MLSA is likely to be particularly
effective in reducing tobacco usage among high school-aged youth by reducing their
access to commercial tobacco products. Studies have also indicated that older underage
youth (i.e. those who are closer to age 18) are more likely to succeed in buying tobacco in
stores. Further, high school friends and peers of legal age are an important social source of
commercial tobacco products for underage youth.
Under Minnesota state law, it is unlawful to sell licensed products to any person under the
age of 18. Minn. Stat. § 609.685, Minn. Stat. § 609.6855. State law does not prohibit local
jurisdictions from enacting a higher minimum legal sales age.
DiFranza, J R, Savageau, J. A., & Aisquith, B. F. (1996). Youth access to tobacco: the effects of age, gender, vending
machine locks, and “it’s the law” programs. American Journal of Public Health, 86(2), 221–224. DiFranza, Joseph R.,
& Coleman, M. (2001). Sources of tobacco for youths in communities with strong enforcement of youth access
laws. Tobacco Control, 10(4), 323–328. DiFranza, Joseph R., Savageau, J. A., & Fletcher, K. E. (2009). Enforcement of

107. Institute of Medicine. (2015). Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco
Products: Health and Medicine Division.
(C) Self-service sales. No person shall allow the sale of licensed products by any self-service
displays where the customer may have access to those items without having to request
the item from the licensee or the licensee’s employee and where there is not a physical
exchange of the licensed product from the licensee or the licensee’s employee to the
customer. All licensed products must be stored behind the sales counter, in another area not
freely accessible to customers, or in a case or other storage unit not left open and accessible
to the general public. Any retailer selling licensed products at the time this ordinance is
adopted must comply with this section within 90 days of the effective date of this ordinance.
(D) Flavored products. No person shall sell or offer for sale any flavored products. This
prohibition does not apply to retail establishments that:
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 16
(1) Prohibit persons under 21 from entering at all times;
(2) Derive at least 90 percent of their gross revenues from the sale of licensed products; and
(3) Meet all of the following building or structural criteria:
(a) Shares no wall with, and has no part of their structure adjoined to any other
business or retailer, unless the wall is permanent, completely opaque, and without
doors, windows, and pass-throughs to the other business or retailer;
(b) Shares no walls with, and has no part of their structure directly adjoined to,
another licensed tobacco retailer; and
(c) Is accessible by the public only by an exterior door.
Any retail establishment that sells flavored products must provide financial records
documenting its annual sales, upon request by the city.
Sales of Flavored Products
Research demonstrates that flavored tobacco products are especially attractive to youth.
These products increase initiation among all populations by masking the harsh taste of
tobacco and nicotine. Flavors like menthol and clove also provide a numbing effect that
lead to longer breath-holding. This makes quitting flavored tobacco products difficult.
Overwhelmingly, youth begin using tobacco with flavored products. Restricting the sale of
flavored tobacco products to stores that youth and young adults cannot enter can reduce
youth access to, and advertisements for, flavored products.
Many Minnesota jurisdictions have restricted the sale of flavored tobacco products
by using the exemptions above. In response, some tobacco retailers have divided their
establishment into two stores, separated by a wall or other structural divider. This results
in a 21 year+ licensed tobacco retailer on one side that sells flavored tobacco products and
a licensed tobacco retailer on the other side that sells only unflavored tobacco products.
Adding structural requirements, as suggested in this model ordinance, would place
limitations upon such practices.
For more information, please review our publication: Regulating Flavored Tobacco Products.
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 17
(E) Cigars. No person shall sell or offer to sell any cigar that is not within its intended retail
packaging containing a minimum of [ five ] cigars and for a sales price, after any discounts
are applied and before sales taxes are imposed, of less than [ $12.50 ] per package. This
provision does not prohibit the sale of a single cigar with a sales price, after any discounts
are applied and before sales taxes are imposed, of at least [ $4.00 ].
(F) Imitation tobacco products. No person shall sell, offer to sell, or otherwise distribute any
imitation tobacco products within the city.
(G) Liquid packaging. No person shall sell or offer to sell any liquid, whether or not such liquid
contains nicotine, which is intended for human consumption and use in an electronic
delivery device, in packaging that is not child-resistant. Upon request by the city, a
licensee must provide a copy of the certificate of compliance or full laboratory testing
report for the packaging used.
(H) Price promotion and coupon redemption. No person shall accept or redeem any coupon
or other instrument or mechanism, whether in paper, digital, electronic, mobile, or any
other form, that provides any licensed products to a consumer at no cost or at a price that
is less than the non-discounted, standard price listed by a retailer on the item or on any
related shelving, posting, advertising, or display at the location where the item is sold or
offered for sale, including all applicable taxes.
Product Discounts
The price of tobacco products directly affects the consumption levels, particularly among
price-sensitive consumers, including youth, young adults, and those with limited financial
means. The commercial tobacco industry uses innovative pricing strategies to entice
new customers to purchase their products, to discourage current users from quitting,
and to reduce the effectiveness of tobacco tax increases in decreasing tobacco sales
and increasing users’ quit attempts. These pricing strategies include “buy-one-get-one”
coupons, cents- or dollar-off promotions, and multi-pack offers, which are often marketed
and redeemed at the point-of-sale. Jurisdictions can prohibit the redemption of these
price discounts to negate the sophisticated discounting strategies of the commercial
tobacco industry. Please see our publication, Death on a Discount: Regulating Tobacco
Product Pricing, for more information on product pricing.

Section 7. Responsibility.
All licensees are responsible for the actions of their employees in regard to the sale, offer to
sell, and furnishing of licensed products on the licensed premises. The sale, offer to sell, or
furnishing of any licensed product by an employee shall be considered an act of the licensee.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the city from also subjecting the
employee to any civil penalties that the city deems to be appropriate under this ordinance,
state or federal law, or other applicable law or regulation.
Section 8. Compliance Checks and Inspections.
All licensed premises must be open to inspection by law enforcement or other authorized city
officials during regular business hours. From time to time, but at least [ twice ] per year, the city
will conduct compliance checks. In accordance with state law, the city will conduct [ at least one
compliance check that involves the participation of two persons: one person between the ages of
15 and 17 and one person between the ages of 18 and 20 ] [ at least one compliance check that
involves the participation of a person between the ages of 15 and 17 and at least one compliance
check that involves the participation of a person between the ages of 18 and 20 ] to enter
licensed premises to attempt to purchase licensed products. Prior written consent is required for
any person under the age of 18 to participate in a compliance check. Persons used for the purpose
of compliance checks will be supervised by law enforcement or other designated personnel.
Compliance Checks
State law requires every local licensing authority to conduct at least one compliance
check each year. This state-mandated compliance check “must involve minors over the
age of 15, but under the age of 18.” It appears that cities with T21 laws can conduct this
annual compliance check to both satisfy state law and to enforce its local T21 policy. To
do so, a municipality could either conduct at least one compliance check with a person
between the ages of 15 and 17 and a person between the ages of 18 and 20, or conduct
more than one compliance check — at least one check with a person between the ages of
15 and 17 and at least one additional check with a person between the ages of 18 and 20.
Above, the bracketed language identifies two options that the city could choose and only
one option should be retained in a final licensing ordinance.

Section 9. Other Prohibited Acts.
Unless otherwise provided, the following acts are an administrative violation of this ordinance:
(A) Prohibited furnishing or procurement. It is a violation of this ordinance for any person 21
years of age or older to purchase or otherwise obtain any licensed product on behalf of a
person under the age of 21. It is also a violation for any person 21 years of age and older to
coerce or attempt to coerce a person under the age of 21 to illegally purchase or attempt
to purchase any licensed product.
(B) Use of false identification. It is a violation of this ordinance for any person to use any form
of false identification, whether the identification is that of another person or has been
modified or tampered with to represent an age older than the actual age of the person
using that identification.
Penalizing Underage Purchase, Use, and Possession and the Use of a False Identification
Prohibiting the attempted and actual possession, use, and purchase (PUP) of licensed
products by underage persons or the use of a false ID to purchase tobacco products is a
part of many local Minnesota ordinances. However, this model ordinance does not include
penalties for underage PUP and only provides non-criminal, non-monetary penalties for
the use of false IDs.
At its core, a licensing ordinance is intended to regulate the behavior of licensees.
Penalizing underage persons detracts from the focus of the licensing code and siphons
enforcement resources away from the licensees to young consumers, many of whom are
addicted to nicotine. A 2017 Minnesota Annual Synar Report on youth access enforcement
found that underage persons were cited 3.6 times, and assessed fines 2.6 times, more
often than retailers. It is important to note that, even if PUP provisions are not included in
an ordinance, retailers have the authority to ask underage persons to leave the premises if
they attempt to purchase products.
There is no strong evidence to support an assertion that PUP penalties are effective in
significantly reducing youth smoking. Historically, these laws were lobbied for by the
commercial tobacco industry to punish youth users while the industry simultaneously
targeted, and continues to target, youth to replace a dying consumer base and maintain
profits in a dwindling market.

Penalizing Underage Purchase, Use, and Possession and the Use of a False
Identification (continued)
Furthermore, many advocates are concerned that PUP penalties open the door to
selective enforcement against youth from certain racial, ethnic, and socio-economic
groups. Evidence suggests that youth of color in Minnesota are disproportionately
over-represented in similar status-level offenses, increasing their interactions with
law enforcement and resulting in their introduction to the criminal justice system.
Finally, Minnesota law currently penalizes PUP and the use of false IDs and no further
enforcement is needed at the local level.
Some of these concerns may be alleviated by offering alternative non-criminal, non-
monetary penalties as suggested below in section 11(B)(3).
For further reading on the history of PUP laws and the disproportionate enforcement
of laws against youth of color and indigenous youth, please see Minnesota Juvenile
Justice Advisory Committee’s report, 2016 Annual Report to Governor Mark Dayton and
the Minnesota State Legislature (2016) and Wakefield, M., & Giovino, G. (2003). Teen
penalties for tobacco possession, use, and purchase: evidence and issues. Tobacco Control,
12(suppl 1), i6–i13.
Section 10. Exceptions and Defenses.
(A) Religious, Spiritual, or Cultural Ceremonies or Practices. Nothing in this ordinance prevents
the provision of tobacco or tobacco-related devices to any person as part of an indigenous
practice or a lawfully recognized religious, spiritual, or cultural ceremony or practice.
(B) Reasonable Reliance. It is an affirmative defense to a violation of this ordinance for a
person to have reasonably relied on proof of age as described by state law.
Section 11. Violations and Penalties.
(A) Violations.
(1) Notice. A person violating this ordinance may be issued, either personally or by
mail, a citation from the city that sets forth the alleged violation and that informs the
alleged violator of his or her right to a hearing on the matter and how and where a
hearing may be requested, including a contact address and phone number.
December 2018
www.publichealthlawcenter.org Minnesota City Retail Tobacco Licensing Ordinance 21
(2) Hearings.
(a) Upon issuance of a citation, a person accused of violating this ordinance may
request in writing a hearing on the matter. Hearing requests must be made within 10
business days of the issuance of the citation and delivered to the City Clerk or other
designated city officer. Failure to properly request a hearing within 10 business days
of the issuance of the citation will terminate the person’s right to a hearing.
(b) The City Clerk or other designated city officer will set the time and place for the
hearing. Written notice of the hearing time and place will be mailed or delivered to
the accused violator at least 10 business days prior to the hearing.
(3) Hearing Officer. The City Council will designate a hearing officer. The hearing officer
will be an impartial employee of the city or an impartial person retained by the city to
conduct the hearing.
(4) Decision. A decision will be issued by the hearing officer within 10 business days of
the hearing. If the hearing officer determines that a violation of this ordinance did
occur, that decision, along with the hearing officer’s reasons for finding a violation
and the penalty to be imposed, will be recorded in writing, a copy of which will be
provided to the city and the accused violator by in-person delivery or mail as soon as
practicable. If the hearing officer finds that no violation occurred or finds grounds for
not imposing any penalty, those findings will be recorded and a copy will be provided
to the city and the acquitted accused violator by in-person delivery or mail as soon
as practicable. The decision of the hearing officer is final, subject to an appeal as
described in section 11, division (A)(6) of this section.
(5) Costs. If the citation is upheld by the hearing officer, the city’s actual expenses in
holding the hearing up to a maximum of [ $1,000 ] must be paid by the person
requesting the hearing.
(6) Appeals. Appeals of any decision made by the hearing officer must be filed in
[ ___________ ] County district court within 10 business days of the date of the decision.
(7) Continued violation. Each violation, and every day in which a violation occurs or
continues, shall constitute a separate offense.
December 2018

(B) Administrative penalties.
(1) Licensees. Any licensee found to have violated this ordinance, or whose employee
violated this ordinance, will be charged an administrative fine of [ $200 ] for a first
violation; [ $500 ] for a second offense at the same licensed premises within a 24-month
period; and [ $750 ] for a third or subsequent offense at the same location within a
24-month period. Upon the third violation, the license will be suspended for a period of
not less than [ 30 ] consecutive days. Upon a fourth violation, the license will be revoked.
(2) Other individuals. Individuals, other than persons under the age of 21 regulated by
division (B)(3) of this section, who are found to be in violation of this ordinance will
be charged an administrative fine of [ $50 ].
(3) Persons under the Age of 21. Persons under the age of 21 who use a false
identification to purchase or attempt to purchase licensed products may only be
subject to non-criminal, non-monetary civil penalties such as tobacco-related
education classes, diversion programs, community services, or another penalty
that the city determines to be appropriate. The City Council will consult with court
personnel, educators, parents, children and other interested parties to determine an
appropriate penalty for persons under the age of 21 in the city. The penalty may be
established by ordinance and amended from time to time.
(4) Statutory penalties. If the administrative penalty authorized to be imposed by Minn.
Stat. § 461.12, as it may be amended from time to time, differ from that established in
this section, then the higher penalty will prevail.
(C) Misdemeanor prosecution. Nothing in this section prohibits the city from seeking
prosecution as a misdemeanor for any alleged violation of this ordinance by a person 21
years of age or older.
Section 12. Severability.
If any section or provision of this ordinance is held invalid, such invalidity will not affect other
sections or provisions that can be given force and effect without the invalidated section or provision.
Section 13. Effective Date.
This ordinance becomes effective on the date of its publication, or upon the publication of a
summary of the ordinance as provided by Minn. Stat. § 412.191, subd. 4, as it may be amended
from time to time, which meets the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 331A.01, subd. 10, as it may
be amended from time to time.
