<br />items in residential neighborhoods can increase the danger to <br />children." <br /> <br />2. Many of the vending vehicles in Santa Ana, not only ice cream <br />trucks, cater to children by offering toys and snack type items. As <br />such, children, often unsupervised, purchase items from the <br />vending vehicles. <br /> <br />D. Accidents have occurred as a result of pedestrians crossing the street <br />mid-block without regard for traffic to get to a vending vehicle. The risk to <br />pedestrians crossing the street mid-block at night is increased due to the <br />decreased visibility. <br /> <br />E. The purpose of this ordinance is to regulate a business being operated <br />within the City of Santa Ana; the purpose of this ordinance is not to <br />regulate vehicular traffic except to protect the public safety and welfare of <br />the residents as permitted by the Vehicle Code. <br /> <br />F. Vending Vehicles are conducting businesses within primarily residential <br />zones. This business creates impacts to the residential neighborhoods, <br />such as increased traffic congestion, reduction in available parking, as <br />well as safety concerns. <br /> <br />1. On order to address these impacts, the 90-minute time limit in any <br />one location, and the separation of the vending vehicle (herein after <br />"congestion management regulations") will reduce the impacts to <br />parking in the neighborhood, and will provide a safer residential <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />2. Vending vehicles are typically wider than a standard vehicle, which <br />causes them to encroach into traffic lanes. This encroachment can <br />create visibility hazards for vehicles exiting the driveways, as well <br />as a more dangerous situation for other vehicles and bicycles. <br /> <br />3. The Legislature, in adopting California Vehicle Code Section <br />22456(e)(3), determined that potential danger to children requires <br />that a vehicle stopped to vend ice cream must have a minimum <br />unobstructed view of the highway in both directions of 200 feet. In <br />Santa Ana, children purchase from the type of vending vehicles <br />regulated by this ordinance in addition to purchasing from ice <br />cream trucks; for example, the September 25, 2005 Los Angeles <br />Times article on this subject states that in Santa Ana, "parents feel <br />comfortable sending their children to buy items [from mobile food <br />vendors]. Remedios Arias, 32, sent her 11-year-old son to buy 10 <br />eggs for $1 on a recent morning." <br /> <br />4. The use of these congestion management regulations will restrict <br />the number of visibility-impacting vehicles on the street and thereby <br />reduce the number of times that opposing vehicles and bicycles <br />must enter or cross traffic lanes as they pass the vending vehicles. <br /> <br />Ordinance No. NS-2701 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br />11A-6 <br />
