Section 8.50.030 Smoking Prohibited
(a) Restaurants
(1) Restaurants for Fifty or More Persons. For
restaurants whose occupied capacity is fifty or more
persons, a policy for providing nonsmoking areas shall
be devised. At the request of a patron, the patron
shall be seated in a nonsmoking area if at all possible.

This ordinance is declared to be an urgency ordinance, adopted pursuant
to the provisions of Government Code Section 36937, in that it is for the

accommodating fifty or more persons have been seriously questioned. This

in that the City Council does not want to create a situation which will lead
to knowing and deliberate violation of a local law by restaurant proprietors
nor intentional nonenforcement of a local law by the city.

Journal, a newspaper of general circulation in the City of South San Francisco,
