SMOKING PROHIBITED <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R-6,230 <br /> <br />R-6.230-A Smoking Prohibited - Enclosed Area. <br /> <br /> Section 6.225 of the Eugene Code, 1971 defines what constitutes an "enclosed area" for <br />purposes of administering and enforcing Sections 6.225 to 6.240 of that Code. As used in that <br />definition, "solid wall" means: <br /> <br /> (a) For existing structures, a wall built according to generally accepted standards <br /> for structures intended for human occupancy. An existing solid wall may be altered to a non- <br /> solid condition only by means of approved construction techniques upon issuance of a <br /> building permit by the City. The removal of doors or windows from their frames does not <br /> convert an existing solid wall to a non-solid wall. <br /> <br /> (b) For construction begun after January 1, 2002, a wall built according to <br /> standards for occupied structures imposed by the building code under which the building <br /> permit was obtained, including a fottndation and roof support. In addition, an exterior wall <br /> shall meet the definition of a solid wall only if 50 percent or more of the total area bounded <br /> by the floor, roof line and adjacent walls is impervious to the outside air. Notwithstanding <br /> this definition of "solid wall" for new construction, a newly constructed area meets the <br /> definition of an "enclosed area" if more than 75 percent of the total area of all wall space or <br /> vertical planes defining the area consists of walls or other materials that prevent the fi-ee <br /> flow of outside air to the area, and if any portion of the defined area is covered by a roof. <br /> <br />R-6.230-B Interpretation for Enforcement Purposes. <br /> <br /> In enforcing the provisions of Sections 6.225 through 6.240 of the Eugene Code, 1971, the <br /> City Manager or designee shall interpret the terms "enclosed area" and "solid wail" consistent with <br /> the definitions provided in the applicable Code section, ordinance, and rule, and in such a way as to <br /> ensure that, in those areas where smoking is allowed, that sufficient natural ventilation exists to <br /> minimize the exposure of employees or members of the public to tobacco smoke. <br /> <br /> Dated this ~ ~ day of January, 2002. <br /> <br /> James R. Johnson <br /> City Manager <br /> <br /> Administrative Order - 2 <br /> C:\W1NDOWS\TEMP\01SmokingPermRule2ao.wpd <br /> <br /> <br />
