ORDINANCE NO. 3298 AMENDING LMC 5.14.040 REGARDING MOBILE VENDORS IN THE VICINITY OF PARKS WITH A CONCESSIONAIRE
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Council Initiative: Strengthen Economic Conditions & Create New Opportunities
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Ordinance Number 3298 updates the mobile vendors chapter of the City’s municipal code. This amendment allows a less restrictive footprint for mobile vendors to operate within when a concessionaire with similar services has an exclusive permit to operate within Lake Sacajawea Park.
The new language provides that “No mobile vendor license shall include the privilege to conduct the business of a mobile vendor within any public park of the city nor within 200 feet of any public park where there is a concessionaire, provided, however, that with regard to Lake Sacajawea Park, no mobile vendor shall exercise the privilege within 500 feet of the location of a park concessionaire providing similar services, as determined by the Parks and Recreation Director, nor within 200 feet north and south of the intersection of Hemlock Street and Nichols Boulevard. No such mobile vendor license shall include the privilege to conduct the business of a mobile vendor within 500 feet of any permitted vendor or organization during the course of a special event when such vendor or organization is permitted to engage in the sale of merchandise and food in such public park.”
The matter was heard by the City Council during the August 13 regular meeting and a motion passed to direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance for City Council review and approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt Ordinance Number 3298.
