The City of Atlanta Council adopted an ordinance to amend the 1982 Atlanta Zoning Ordinance. This amendment creates new definitions for “Vape Shops” and “Elementary and Secondary Schools.” It also establishes a minimum distance requirement of 1,000 feet between vape shops and between vape shops and elementary/secondary schools, child care nurseries, day care centers, prekindergartens, kindergartens, play, and other special schools or day care facilities for young children. The ordinance defines a vape shop as any business whose principal product line (at least 35% of aggregate retail sales) consists of alternative nicotine products, consumable vapor products, vapor devices, and consumable hemp products. The amendments apply to various commercial and industrial zoning districts, including C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, I-1, I-2, and MRC.
