NC-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

Zero Lot Line Building

My Building is a zero lot line building. The front of the building directly abuts a public sidewalk and the sides abut adjacent buildings. There is no smoking on site (indoors and on the roof deck), but how can I prohibit smoking 25 from the entrance?

Unfortunately there is only so much control the project can have in this instance. At minimum, you should show that adequate signage communicating smoking is prohibited 25 feet from the entrance has been installed or planned. Usually a photo, and or a plan indicating where signage will go is sufficient. While you can't corner off a 25 foot space in the zero lot line case, you can deter people from standing outside of the door to smoke. In this case, you also do not want to have a designated smoking area, i.e. an ash tray, and could state that in your documentation to strengthen the efforts the project has made to curb smoking.
