A. This chapter is not intended to regulate smoking on property owned or leased by county, state or federal governmental entities.

B. Any owner or manager of a business or other establishment subject to this chapter may apply to the chief of the fire department for an exemption or modification to any provision of this chapter due to unusual circumstances or conditions not related to youth access to tobacco products or the public’s exposure to second-hand smoke. Such exemption shall be granted only if the chief of the fire department finds from the evidence presented by the applicant for exemption either that:

1. The applicant cannot comply with the provisions of this chapter for which an exemption is requested without incurring expenses for structural or other physical modifications, other than posting signs, to buildings and structures; or

2. Due to such unusual circumstances, the failure to comply with the provision for which the exemption is requested will not result in a danger to health or annoyance, inconvenience or discomfort. (Ord. 4017 § 1, 2001)
