§ 413-3.1604. Findings and purpose.
It is hereby found and declared that:
(1)
To protect the public health and safety, promote fair economic competition and ensure safe pedestrian and motorist traffic, the unincorporated area of the county needs more equitable, uniform retail food vehicle and mobile vending regulations.
(2)
A lack of sufficient regulation of retail food vehicle and mobile vending from pushcarts, motor vehicles, stands or by persons can cause safety and sanitary hazards on public streets and property and on private property by contributing to traffic and pedestrian congestion, contributing to litter accumulation and causing planning and design problems, especially those retail food vehicle and mobile vendors that become a continual, stationary enterprise.
(Ord. 95-36 § 2).
