WHEREAS, on September 17, 2018, former Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill (“SB”) 946 into law (codified at Government Code sections 51036 through 51039), which requires a “local authority,” including the City, and prohibits local authorities from regulating sidewalk vendors except in accordance with the standards specified therein; and
WHEREAS, on September 23, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (“SB”) 972 into law (amending Sections 113818, 113831, and 113868 of, and adding Chapter 11.7 (commencing with Section 114368) to Part 7 of Division 104 of, the Health and Safety Code) which modifies the California Retail Food Code and allows some sidewalk food vendors to obtain public health permits.

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that local regulation of sidewalk vendors furthers various significant governmental interests, and is necessary to reduce and/or eliminate health and safety concerns associated with their operation in and throughout the City, including but not limited to: reducing the potential danger to the public from exposure to food-borne disease as a result of contamination from improperly packaged and/or stored food products which may be offered for sale; ensuring compliance with applicable requirements of the Los Angeles Department of Health; preventing unsanitary conditions; ensuring trash and debris are removed; preventing obstruction of 2 visual lines-of-sight from vehicles and pedestrians traversing areas in the sidewalks, streets, and parking lots; preventing the overcrowding of the sidewalks and other pedestrian paths; safe-guard pedestrian movement on sidewalks and other pedestrian paths; protecting customers and vendors from vehicle collisions due to the proximity of stands to the roadways; and ensuring compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and
WHEREAS, at the same time, the act of vending on public sidewalks creates further potential for safety hazards, such as interfering with the performance of police, code enforcement, sheriffs, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel services; encouraging pedestrians to cross mid-block or stand in roadways to purchase food and merchandise; and creating obstacles and contributing to congestion for pedestrian, vehicle, and bicycle traffic; and
WHEREAS, ensuring the unobstructed flow of pedestrian traffic on public sidewalks and pedestrian paths promotes public safety by minimizing the risk that pedestrians will jostle one another, collide, trip, or fall, and safeguarding the ability of the public to safely be away from dangerous situations, such as vehicular and bicycle traffic that may occur on or near public streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian paths; and WHEREAS, ensuring the free flow of pedestrian traffic is particularly important to the safety of the elderly, children, individuals with disabilities, and others who experience difficulty navigating through crowds and around obstacles or hazards and who are particularly endangered by having to navigate off and onto curbs when sidewalks or pedestrian paths are blocked; and
WHEREAS, hindrances to the free flow of pedestrian traffic, particularly in the City's high traffic intersections, may interfere with the work of public safety personnel seeking immediate access to emergency situations and with other work vital to the public health and safety, such as cleaning and maintenance of public places and public property by public works; and
WHEREAS, regulations of sidewalk vendors are needed to accommodate the equipment of sidewalk vendors while safeguarding pedestrian movement on public sidewalks; and
WHEREAS, regulations of sidewalk vendors engaged in the sale of food are also needed to protect the public health and safety and in accordance with the requirements of the Los Angeles County Health Department to ensure compliance with sanitation, food preparation, and food handling laws to protect against food contamination, poor hygienic practices, and food poisoning in adherence to SB 972; and 3 WHEREAS, regulations of sidewalk vendors are needed to prevent hazardous or unsanitary conditions and to ensure that trash and debris are appropriately removed by sidewalk vendors so that such trash, grease, and debris do not become a pollutant by being left, thrown, discarded, or deposited on City streets, sidewalks, pathways, gutters, storm drains, or upon public or private lots; and
WHEREAS, a prohibition on sidewalk vending is necessary for public safety reasons in select portions of the City of Commerce because of the traffic flow, close proximity to the freeway, and general safety concerns; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that regulation of sidewalk vending benefits the City as a whole; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with SB 946, enforcement of violations under this Ordinance will be conducted through the issuance of administrative fines with escalating fines for repeated violations and permit revocation, as opposed to criminal remedies; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with SB 946, enforcement of violations under this Ordinance will be conducted through the criminal remedies for stationary vendors found selling on private property and any zoning area that may impede on the health, safety, and welfare of businesses, residents, and visitors; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that the local sidewalk vendor regulations established by this ordinance are consistent with SB 946 and SB 972, in that this ordinance regulates the time, place, and manner of sidewalk vending activities as necessary to protect and preserve the safety and welfare of the public from the secondary impacts of sidewalk vending activities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that this ordinance is necessary and appropriate to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the community, and all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have been satisfied.
