The <br />ordinance required permits for owners and operators of the vehicles, <br />specified vending locations and regulated signage, the handling of <br />produce, sanitation and insurance requirements. However, since 1997 the <br />enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance has been suspended due to <br />various court actions. From 1997 to the present, the number of vending <br />trucks on the streets of the City has increased from an estimated 80 <br />vehicles to over 200 in 2004. Vending trucks frequently park in the same <br />location for the entire day which sometimes prevents the efforts of <br />property owners to maintain parkway landscaping. Addi tionally, the <br />permanently stationed vehicles make it difficult for weekly trash pick-up <br />and create parking problems for neighborhood residents. <br /> <br />To provide reasonable regulation of these vending vehicles, revisions to <br />the City's existing regulations are proposed. The revisions: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Will limit sales from the vending vehicles from 9: 00 a. m. to 8: 00 <br />p.m. ; <br />Will not allow any objects, which includes furniture trash <br />receptacles or generators in or on the street, sidewalk or parkway; <br />Will not permit vending within 500 feet of a school, park, community <br />center or playground, nor within 50 feet of an intersection; and <br />Will not allow music or any type of artificial noise making while <br />the vehicle is parked. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />8. <br /> <br />50 B-1 <br />
