PROmlilTING SALES ON PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY DURING
THE CONDUCT OF SPECIAL EVENTS EXCEPT AS
AUTHORIZED BY THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT
The City Connell of the City of Saratoga hereby ordains as follows:
SECTION h The City Council finds and determines that:
(a) The conduct of sales on public rights-of-way constitutes a hazard to
vehicular and pedestrian traffic if not regulated through the issuance of a permit
controlling the time, place and manner of engaging in such activity.
(b) Community festivals and parades conducted pursuant to a special
event permit issued by the City have been disrupted by the activities of street vendors
operating without the consent of the City or the permittee. These unregulated
vendors present a threat to the safe and orderly conduct of the event and may
frustrate the conditions imposed by the City to achieve these objectives.
(c) The City has issued a permit for a major community event to be
conducted within the near future and unless the activities of street vendors are
regulated by and conducted in accordance with the terms of said permit, such
activities may interfere with and disrupt the event and constitute a hazard to the
public health, safety and welfare. An emergency ordinance 'is therefore required,
pending the adoption of further regulations.
SECTION 2: No person shall sell or offer for sale on public streets, sidewalks or
rights-of-way any goods, wares or merchandise from vehicles, wagons, pushcarts,
stalls, booths or other methods, during or in connection with a special event for which
a permit has been granted under Article 10-10 of the City Code, unless such sales
activity is conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the special event permit and with the authorization of the permittee. The holder of
the special event permit shall issue to each person authorized to engage in sales on
public streets, sidewalks and rights-of-way an identification card or other evidence of
such authorization, which shall be displayed by such person to any law enforcement
officer of the City or to any representative of the permittee requesting to inspect the
same.
SECTION 3: This Ordinance is an emergency measure expressly declared to be for
the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare, and shall take effect
immediately.
