12B. STANTON’S SIDEWALK VENDING ORDINANCE\nAt the March 28, 2023, Council meeting, the Council received consensus and directed\nstaff to proceed with researching the feasibility of a moratorium on sidewalk vending.\nSubsequently, the City Attorney’s Office researched the feasibility of a moratorium and\nconducted a review of various ordinances related to food vending in Southern\nCalifornia.
