SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ADDING CHAPTER
11.110 `REGULATION OF MOBILE FOOD VENDING VEHICLES" TO
TITLE 11 "PEACE, MORALS, AND SAFETY' OF THE MUNICIPAL
CODE" AND "AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF

FOOD VENDING VEHICLES" TO TITLE 11 "PEACE, MORALS, AND
SAFETY' OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE"
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Community & Economic Development Department
SUMMARY
This ordinance provides for time, place, and manner regulations affecting the location
and operating conditions for mobile food truck vending in the community.
Given the City's exciting pedestrian environment, to the extent a mobile food truck
vendor economy develops in the area, Downtown Palm Springs could be one of the top
destinations for food trucks wanting to operate in Riverside County. Understanding that,
on March 18, 2014 the City Council adopted a moratorium for a six month period to
allow the development of an ordinance that would address a number of the issues
regarding food trucks.
Over the past several months, Staff has worked with a stakeholder group to help
develop the City's food truck ordinance. In addition, Staff and the City Attorney's office
have reviewed over a dozen food truck ordinances from other cities in California, and
studied the food truck issue as it is being handled in large and small cities across the
country. Finally, Staff has had several in-depth interviews with mobile food vendor
operators from all over Southern California about the potential of the Palm Springs
market and the practical challenges facing operators that wish to operate here,
regardless of what provisions are contained in the ordinance. Staff recommends
adopting the attached draft ordinance which contains time, location, operating
standards, and permit requirements for mobile food truck vending activities. �T,hee

RECOMMENDATION:
1. Waive text and introduce for first reading an Ordinance of the City Council "AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ADDING CHAPTER 11.110
"REGULATION OF MOBILE FOOD VENDING VEHICLES" TO TITLE 11
"PEACE, MORALS, AND SAFETY" OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE"
2. Waive text adopt an Ordinance of the City Council "AN AN INTERIM URGENCY
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ADDING CHAPTER 11.110
"REGULATION OF MOBILE FOOD VENDING VEHICLES" TO TITLE 11
"PEACE, MORALS, AND SAFETY" OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE"
Background
In April, 2014, the County of Riverside amended its Health Department rules to allow
Mobile Food Vendors (food trucks) to operate in the county outside the very narrow
limitations that had previously been in place, such as mobile food vendors only being
able to operate at special events, or as pre-packaged food vendors, or as caterers. The
County regulations relate directly to the Health Department aspects of the operation.
Therefore, other public safety issues relating to mobile food vending are subject to local
municipal regulation.
On March 18, 2014 the City Council adopted a moratorium for a six month period to
allow the development of an ordinance that would address a number of the issues
regarding food trucks
Over the past several months, Staff has met with a stakeholder group to develop the
City's food truck ordinance. The stakeholder group was comprised of restaurant
owners, Main Street, and other downtown representatives. Staff tried to ensure a good
geographic representation of stakeholders, as well as a mix of restaurant types,
including restaurants from Uptown, each of the blocks in Downtown, as well as the
areas east of Indian Canyon Drive. Both large and small restaurants were represented,
as were those who operate restaurants outside Downtown.
Staff reviewed mobile food vending regulations from a number of jurisdictions in
California. Each jurisdiction approaches regulation from its own unique perspective. It
is apparent that with proper regulation, Mobile Food Vendors can provide additional
food choices for Palm Springs residents and visitors.
Time, place, and manner restrictions for mobile food vending vehicles are necessary to
ensure pedestrian safety, control excessive demand on parking spaces particularly
within central business district, enhance traffic circulation movement, prevent aesthetic

blight from unsightly accumulation of waste in public right of way areas, and to minimize
adverse aesthetic impacts to the downtown commercial streetscape from unsightly large
commercial vehicles consistently parked on the street in the central business district.
All of these are findings in the Ordinance.
In the Ordinance, the City Council further finds that mobile vending vehicles may pose
traffic hazards and special dangers to residents of the community. Such vehicles
frequently stop in public rights of way in a manner which can endanger pedestrians and
vehicle traffic, particularly in areas of heavy traffic volume.
This ordinance is enacted pursuant to the City's police power under Article XI, Section 7
of the California Constitution and Vehicle Code section 22455(b). Section 22455(b)
expressly authorizes time, place, and manner municipal regulation of mobile food
vending vehicles.
It is therefore the purpose and intent of the City, in enacting an ordinance to provide
responsible companies and persons who engage in food vending from vehicles with
clear and concise regulations to prevent safety, traffic and health hazards, as well as to
preserve the peace, safety and welfare of the community. It also represents a middle
ground between considering the health, safety and aesthetic concerns of the community
and a legitimate business interest of food truck operators.
The challenge for the City is to create a system of laws and regulations that ensure the
public welfare without veering into anti-competitive protections.
A main element of the ordinance deals with the location restriction that vending trucks
shall not be permitted to vend within a portion of the Central Business District. Section
11.110.030(a) of the ordinance defines a boundary area where vending is not permitted.
In this key core area, there is existing vehicular congestion and shortage of available
on-street and off-street parking spaces to serve businesses already located in the area.
Under the ordinance, food truck vendors will have an opportunity to vend within the
Central Business District zone, namely, on the east side of Indian Canyon Drive and the
west side of Belardo Road. They may also operate in other areas of the City, as
appropriate. See the attached map for the exclusion area and the allowable area, which
shows: (1) total Central Business District zone area; (2) boundary area where no
vending is allowed; and, (3) available permissible truck vending area within the CBD.
Mobile Food Vendors operating on public or private property outside the Central
Business District would be required to obtain a Mobile Food Vendor Permit when
conducting a vending event as defined in the ordinance for more than 2 hours.
On-Street Vending in the Right of Way
Staff is recommending that specifically in section 11.110.030 the following locational
requirements:
03
Mobile Food Vendor Ordinance
September 3, 2014
Page 4
Section 11.110.030. Locational Requirements.
(a) Mobile food vehicle vending in public rights of way is prohibited within that
portion of the Central Business District (CBD), particularly described as that
boundary area running from: Both sides of Palm Canyon Drive between
Alejo Road and Ramon Road, the easterly side of Belardo Road from Ramon
Road to Alejo Road and the westerly side of Indian Canyon Drive from
Ramon Road to Alejo Road.
Mobile food vehicle vending is otherwise permitted generally within the
various zoning districts of the city, subject to applicable city zoning
requirements.
(b) Mobile food vending vehicles must be at least twenty feet (20') from a fire
hydrant, pedestrian pop-out, bus or trolley stop, valet or taxi loading zone,
loading zone, mid-block crosswalk, fire station driveway, or street corner curb
radius.
(c) No mobile food vender shall park within five hundred (500') feet of any public
or private school (through grade 12) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4
p.m. during operational school days.
As to operating standards, staff is recommending the following restrictions:
Section 11.110.040. Operational Standards/Public Rights of Way.
It is unlawful for any mobile vending food vehicle operator to vend in public rights
of way the City, except in compliance with the following operational standards:
(1) Mobile food vehicle vending must be conducted not earlier than 9:00 a.m. or
later than 9:00 p.m. unless otherwise permitted by this chapter;
(2) The vending vehicle must be at a complete stop;
(3) The vending vehicle may vend for a maximum of two (2) hours at any one

(8) Only food may be dispensed from the vending vehicle.
(9) The operator shall obtain a business license from the City.
Off Street Vending/ Permit System.
As to a vendor permit requirement, staff recommends a permit system when a mobile
vendor is conducting vending activity open to the public, on private property for more
than two hours at a time. Section 11.110.050 sets forth the specific requirements
Section 11.110.050. Mobile Food Vending Vehicle Events On Private
Property-Permit and Conditions of Approval.
No mobile food vending vehicle operator, or owner of private property, shall
conduct vending open to the public on private property from the vending vehicle as an
event without first obtaining a temporary mobile vending event permit from the City's
Planning Department.
This permit requirement applies to events opened to the public featuring the sale
of food from the vending vehicle and conducted for more than two (2) hour period.
Caterer activities as defined herein are exempt from this permit requirement.
The issuance of the mobile vending vehicle permit shall be subject to the
following requirements.
(1) An application shall be filed and completed with information required by the
City's Planning Department;
(2) No more than two such permits shall be issued to the same person in one
year;
(3) The Planning, Public Works, Police, and Fire Departments shall review the
permit application and recommend appropriate conditions of approval. The
Director of Planning Services shall then impose conditions of approval on the
Event Permit;
(4) Administrative action on the permit application may be appealed to the City
Council under M.C. sections 2.05 et seq.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and the state
CEQA guidelines, the City has determined that this ordinance is exempt from CEQA
under section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code of
Regulations.
