The public hearing for the 3,000 foot distance requirement between tobacco stores was originally scheduled for July 30, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. This public hearing will be continued on Tuesday, August 13, 2019. Listed below is the information describing this public hearing.
The Economic Development and Regulatory Services Committee of the Minneapolis City Council will consider amending Chapter 281 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances related to Tobacco Dealers. If approved, any new tobacco shop that sells flavored tobacco must be 3,000 feet away from any other tobacco shop which also sells flavored tobacco. This distance requirement does not apply to the B4 zoning district.
