FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The City of Fresno is updating its Sidewalk Vending Ordinance following a recent court decision that found parts of local streetvending rules in conflict with state law.<\/p>\n
The Fresno City Council last week approved an amendment intended to bring the city’s ordinance into compliance. A San Diego court ruling in favor of a street vendor led to the change, finding that some city rules on sidewalk vending broke state law.<\/p>\n
In response, the Fresno City Council voted to modify the allowable hours of operation for mobile food vendors. Councilmember Miguel Arias said the city is still maintaining other requirements.<\/p>\n
“We moved time limits city-wide, but we are still enforcing the business permit and public health permit; those are still being enforced and resulting in citations if you don’t have those permits,” Arias said.<\/p>\n
Administrative fines for unpermitted sidewalk vending involving food prepared on a heated surface requiring fuel will continue as follows:<\/p>\n
First violation: a written warning
Second violation: fine up to $100
Third violation: fine up to $200
Fourth violation: fine up to $500<\/p>\n
Fines for other unpermitted sidewalk vending remain:<\/p>\n
First violation: a written warning
Second violation: fine up to $25
Third violation: fine up to $50
Fourth violation: fine up to $100<\/p>\n
The city’s changes are intended to ensure Fresno’s regulations align with state law while still enforcing basic health and business permit requirements.<\/p>\n
