• Possessing a valid California seller's permit for sales tax compliance; • Requiring additional licenses from other state or local agencies as required by law; • Requiring compliance with other generally applicable laws; and • Providing information on vendor operations. Proposed Ordinance The proposed ordinance requires sidewalk vendors to pay a nonrefundable processing fee and obtain a permit from the Police Department. In order to obtain a permit, applicants must also provide: (1) proper identification; (2) a copy of a valid California Department of Tax and Fee Administration seller's permit; (3) a copy of a valid Mobile Food Facility Permit issued by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health; and (4) proof of insurance. All sidewalk vendors must have a City Business License. In order to cover the costs required to process such permits, staff is recommending establishing a sidewalk vendor fee in the amount of $50.00. The proposed ordinance also establishes various general requirements in order to ensure that sidewalks remain accessible to all pedestrians and that sidewalk vendors maintain and operate their equipment in a safe and clean way. Under the proposed ordinance, sidewalk vending is limited to the following locations and times: • Sidewalk vending hours limitations in areas zoned for nonresidential use will be as restrictive as any limitations on hours of operation imposed on other businesses or uses on the same street, excluding those permitted to operate 24 hours. • Sidewalk vending is limited to the hours of 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. for areas that are exclusively residential. • Stationary sidewalk vendors are prohibited from operating in areas that are exclusively residential. • A stationary sidewalk vendor is prohibited from operating in a City park if the City has entered into exclusive agreements for the sale of food or merchandise by one or more concessionaires for that City park. • A sidewalk vendor is prohibited from operating within five hundred (500) feet of: (1) a school; (2) a permitted certified farmers' market; (3) a permitted swap meet; or (4) any area subject to a parade permit or special event street closure permit or a temporary use permit.
