Township sets licensing fees for smoking lounges

Township sets licensing fees for smoking lounges

As part of the consent agenda, the Shelby Township Board of Trustees voted last month to establish an initial non-refundable application fee and a license renewal fee for smsoking lounges operating in the township.
 
According to the resolution adopted at the Jan. 20 meeting, Chapter 14 of the township’s Code of Ordinances requires that any person who wishes to operate a smoking lounge business in the township must first obtain a smoking lounge business license, in conjunction with the terms and conditions of the township’s Code of Ordinances and zoning ordinances.
 
The resolution, which sets license fees at $1,500 for an initial non-refundable application and $250 for a renewal, represents the most recent effort by the township to place stricter regulations on smoking lounges.
