Recently, the Village of Mount Prospect revised their Clean Air Regulations
ordinance to comply with the State of Illinois’s Smoke Free Illinois Act. The
ordinance continues to prohibit smoking on or in any train station, platform or
bus shelter owned or used by any public transportation agency or in any
municipal parking garage.
Importantly, the ordinance now regulates smoking shelters, an outdoor structure
defined as “any shelter where smoking is permitted by a business owner and is
not an ‘enclosed area’ as defined by the Smoke Free Illinois Act.” The
construction, installation, and utilization requirements of the shelter are set
forth in the revised ordinance.
If you are interested in installing a smoking shelter adjacent to your facility,
please contact the
Building Division at (847) 870-5675 to obtain a permit application and
schedule a site visit. If you have any further questions about the ordinance or
the shelter requirements, please contact Mike Dallas, Administrative Analyst, at
(847) 392-6000.
