Item to be presented
December 11, 1990
Draft ordinance relating to peddling on highways and location
restrictions
Ordinance Number: 90-42
Community Development
The attached draft ordinance has been prepared to regulate the location of
catering trucks and other temporary roadside businesses in the City. The
catering trucks, in particular, have been parking in inappropriate locations in
the City. The trucks have congregated in close proximity to each other, without
adequate parking and creating congestion. They are also competing with
legitimate restaurants. The trucks and other businesses have been known to park
in one location for virtually an entire day. The present code requires that
these trucks either move a minimum of 500 ft. every half hour, or if in a
location longer than a half hour, they must provide sanitary facilities- for
their patrons. Both of these criteria are routinely being violated. It is
difficult to enforce the present code.
The attached language would provide that it is unlawful for any person to sell
food or beverages from wagons or other vehicles on or adjacent to a highway
within the City, unless a minimum of 10 parking spaces is provided and the use
is consistent with the zoning code.
This -language has been reviewed and approved by the Sheriff's Department.
Introduce the ordinance and pass to second reading.
