5.54.010 Purpose.
A. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish a permitting and regulatory program for sidewalk vendors that complies with Senate Bill 946 (Chapter 459, Statutes 2018). The provisions of this Chapter generally allow portable food stands and certain forms of solicitation while imposing regulation of unpermitted sidewalk vending activities and related enforcement to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
B. The City Council finds that to promote the public health, safety and welfare, regulating sidewalk vending is necessary to ensure no unreasonable interference with the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic including ingress into, or egress from, any residence, public building, place of business, park, areas located within the immediate vicinity of a permitted certified farmers' market and a permitted swap meet, an area designated by a temporary special permit issued by the City, street to the sidewalk, and by persons exiting or entering parked or standing vehicles.
C. Prohibiting sidewalk vending in streets and medians is necessary to protect the health and safety of vendors and their patrons, because they are at risk of being struck by vehicles and/or causing vehicular accidents if vending occurs in streets or medians.
D. Limiting sidewalk vending hours of operation within residential neighborhoods to specific daylight hours consistent with a residential atmosphere is necessary to protect the safety of vendors and residents who would be more vulnerable to criminal activit ies during evening hours, and to promote the welfare of the residents by prohibiting commercial activities and associated noise and traffic during hours when residents should be able to enjoy peace and quiet. 3 E. These regulations ensure continuous access for the use and maintenance of sidewalks, pathways, poles, posts, traffic signs or signals, hydrants, firefighting apparatus, mailboxes, as well as access to locations used for public transportation services.
F. These regulations ensure such activities occur only in locations where they will not restrict sidewalk and pathway access and enjoyment by individuals with disabilities pursuant to the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 and other disability access standards.
G. These regulations reduce exposure to the City for personal injury or property damage claims and litigation.
