Does the area allow smoke to accumulate?
Ashtrays, lighters or matchbooks in outdoor areas are allowable under the ordinance. Pursuant to existing City ordinances, please note that the proprietor is responsible for cleaning up trash and maintaining the appearance of the establishment within 100 feet of entrance. The proprietor is also responsible for the conduct of patrons while they are in the outside area. Unlike the Bloomington ordinance, the City of Minneapolis ordinance does not prohibit smoking within any distance of the entrance.
