(A) Lawful business operation. In the course of tobacco retailing or in the operation of the business or maintenance of the location for which a license is issued, it shall be a violation of this chapter for a licensee, or any of the licensee’s agents or employees, to:
(1) Violate any local, state, or federal law applicable to tobacco products, tobacco paraphernalia, or tobacco retailing;
(2) Violate any local, state, or federal law regulating exterior, storefront, window, or door signage.
(B) Display of license. Each tobacco retailer license shall be prominently displayed in a publicly-visible location at the licensed location.
(C) Minimum age for person selling tobacco. No person who is younger than the minimum age established by state law for the purchase or possession of tobacco products shall engage in tobacco retailing.
(D) Minor CUP required. In addition to the other requirements of this chapter, no person shall operate a retail tobacco store without first having obtained a minor conditional use permit. All retail tobacco stores shall be operated in compliance with the conditions of any minor conditional use permit issued for such use, which conditions shall include compliance with this chapter and Chapter 9.10. A minor conditional use permit issued for a retail tobacco store may be suspended and/or revoked, following the procedures set forth in Chapter 17.98, if the holder violates any provision of Chapter 9.10 or fails to maintain a valid tobacco retailer's license as required by this chapter.
