The information gathered served as the findings to formulate staff's recommendations. This effort included a review from the City Attorney's Office staff to ensure adherence and compliance with applicable laws and to ensure we had proper evidence to support our regulations. Based upon this additional input and discussion, the proposed ordinance and recommendations have been revised to minimize potential impacts to mobile vending businesses while ensuring public health and safety. Additionally, to provide reasonable regulations for food and produce vehicles, City staff recommends the adoption of a new Food Vending Vehicle ordinance to protect the public's health and safety in accordance with Vehicle Code section 22455 and the California Retail Food Code and County of Orange Health Care Agency/Environmental Health.
