As background, the City’s Environmental Quality and Energy Conservation Commission (TEQECC) has recently been reviewing and discussing an ordinance to prohibit smoking in and around multi-unit residences (see attached). The proposed ordinance would amend the Torrance Municipal Code by adding Chapter 19 entitled “Smoking in Multi-Family Dwellings” to Division 4 of the Torrance Municipal Code. The purpose and intent of the proposed ordinance is to prohibit smoking in and around multi-unit residences to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of residents within the City of Torrance. The ordinance would require multi-unit residences to be smoke-free in the following areas:
For purposes of the proposed ordinance, a multi-unit residence includes a lot with two or more units, including, but not limited to, apartments, townhomes, condominium complexes, senior and assisted living facilities, and long-term health care facilities; or a lot with a unit attached to another unit on an adjacent lot, including but not limited to attached townhomes. The following do not constitute “units”: hotels; single-family homes; duplexes on a single-family Lot, accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, and mobile homes in a mobile home park.
Other areas covered by the proposed ordinance are shown below.
