City Limits Outdoor Alcohol, Tobacco Ads

The City Council gave final approval Monday night to an ordinance that prohibits outdoor alcohol and tobacco advertising within 1,000 feet of residential areas, schools, parks, playgrounds and anywhere children might gather.

Last year, Los Angeles passed a similar ordinance. Both laws will take effect Oct. 1.

In Los Angeles, the law received final approval last September.

San Fernando already has a strict liquor license law that requires that establishments serving alcohol be at least 600 feet apart and that there be that same distance between the establishment and any place children might gather.
