Smoke shop near school gets OK from Visalia City Council
View Comments
Potential holes in Visalia’s municipal codes were exposed Monday night after the public and school board members questioned whether a smoke shop should be allowed near an elementary school.
Ultimately, the Visalia City Council voted in favor of upholding the planning commission’s recommendation to allow a smoke shop, PRD Cigarettes, to operate around 500 feet away from Houston Elementary School in a 2-1 decision.
The distance is less than two football fields away, or about 100 feet farther than centerfield of a typical baseball stadium.
Council members Brian Poochigian and Brett Taylor voted in favor of the motion, while Councilman Greg Collins was the sole no vote. Mayor Steve Nelsen and Vice Mayor Phil Cox didn t attend the meeting.
