A. Vending vehicles must be brought to a complete stop and be lawfully parked adjacent to the curb, if any, consistent with California Vehicle Code Sections 22455 and 22500 prior to initiating vending operations. If there is no curb in the area where vending is to occur, the vehicle must be parked completely off the paved roadway during vending operations in a location that permits pedestrians and customers to pass freely by the parked vehicle without entering the paved street.

B. A vending vehicle may park in the public right-of-way in one location for a total of one hour in each twenty-four-hour period. It must be moved a minimum distance of one thousand five hundred feet before it can be parked again for vending purposes.

C. A vending vehicle must park parallel to the roadway unless totally on private property. Any window or vehicle element that serves or facilitates service to customers must be on the side of the vehicle opposite the street, and no vending is permitted from the street side of the vending vehicle.

D. A mobile food vendor shall not serve customers adjacent to a public sidewalk under circumstances where the vendor’s equipment, or his customers, obstruct passage of the public walkway for all users, including those with mobility disabilities, and no such vehicle shall park within five hundred feet of any other vending vehicle serving food to customers.

E. No signs may be placed on any public right-of-way or public property by any mobile food merchant.

F. Mobile food merchants operating a vending vehicle must provide or have garbage receptacles readily available for immediate use by customers of the vending vehicle.

G. Mobile food merchants operating a vending vehicle must pick up, remove and dispose of all garbage, refuse or litter consisting of foodstuffs, wrappers, and/or materials dispensed from the vending vehicle found discarded within one hundred feet of the vending vehicle and shall otherwise maintain the entire area where mobile food vending is occurring in a clean, sanitary, and debris-free condition.

H. A vending vehicle shall be fully self-contained, including, but not limited to: internal mechanical holding units, gas or electric cooking equipment, water tank, and hand sinks. There shall be no discharge of any solid or liquid from the vehicle onto the public right-of-way or any public or private property. (Ord. 604 § 3 (part), 2014)
