regulate sidewalk vending . SB 946 is cod ified in Government Code 51036 and fo ll owing .
B. Among other things , SB 946 limits c ity regulation of s idewa lk vending t o
restrict ions t hat are directly related to ob j ective health , safety, o r welfare concerns and
prohib its pu nishment for street vend ing-related violat ions unless it is through a civ il f ine .
C. SB 946 recognizes , however, that "California has an interest in the regulation
of traffic ... whether in e ns uring t he appropriate flow of traffic o r i n ensu ring the safety of
pedestrians on the road o r the s idewalk ," and has ac knowledged t hat there are regulations
that are di rectly related to obj ective health , safety , or welfare concerns that a city may adopt ,
which inc l ude , but are not l im ited to , regulations concerning hours of operation , sanitation ,
s idewalk access , health and vendor permits , compliance with othe r gene rally applicable laws ,
registrat ion requirements , and interference w ith othe r special events or perm itted activ ities .
In addition , stat e law recogn izes that the health , safety, and we lfare interest in prov iding safe
school zones and protecting adjacent streets , sidewa lks , and public ways from activities that
may disrupt school activities and the health and safety of schoolchildren .
D. The City a lso has a public health , safety , and welfa re interest in food -related
vending from motorized veh icles , and des ires to am end its m un icipa l code to upd ate t he
regulations regarding operation of certain types of vehicular-re lated food vend ing in order to
protect public health , safety and welfare .
E. As a result, the C ity desires to upda t e its municipal code to establ ish sidewal k
vending and mobile food vending regulat ions that are directly related to the objective hea lt h,
safety , and welfare of the City and are consistent with state law . The update wi ll also result
in some conforming changes to the municipal code .

parties we re g iven full opportunity to be heard .
SECTION 2 . Environmental Review. The City Council exercises its independent
judgment and finds that the proposed ord i nance is not subject to Cal iforn ia Env ironmental
Quality Act (CEQA), pursua nt to Section 15060 (c)(2) (the activ ity w i ll not resu lt in a d irect or
reasonably fo reseeable indi rect physical change in the e nvironme nt), and sect ion 15060(c)(3 )
(the activ ity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of th e CEQA Guidelines , California
Code of Regulations , Title 14 , Chapter 3 , because the subject regulat ions have no potential
