City Council

NB2. Amendment to Chapter 5.04 of the Lancaster Municipal Code relating to Sidewalk Vendors Recommendation(s): Introduce Ordinance No. 1108 amending Chapter 5.04, Article V of the Lancaster Municipal Code concerning the regulation of sidewalk vendors. In an effort to address nuisance operations and maintain a business-friendly approach for vendors complying with the law, staff has collaborated with community stakeholders, including vendors and their legal representatives, to identify updates to the City’s laws and regulations related to vendor operations. Through this collaboration, staff has updated the City's sidewalk vendor ordinance to reflect a more flexible and mutually beneficial set of regulations that would offer sidewalk vendors an opportunity to operate in the City safely and successfully. The revisions to the ordinance are shown in Attachment B and C to this staff report.
