§ 4-5.1217 MOTORIZED VENDORS.
   (A)   Except as otherwise provided in this section, no person shall park any motorized vehicle from which goods, wares, merchandise, fruits, vegetables, or foodstuffs are sold, displayed, solicited, or offered for sale or bartered or exchanged, or any motorized lunch wagon or eating cart on any portion of any street within the city, except that such motorized vehicles may stand or park only at the request of a bona fide purchaser for a period of time not to exceed 10 minutes at any one place. The provisions of this division shall not apply to persons delivering such articles upon an order of, or by agreement with, a customer from a store or other fixed place of business or distribution.
   (B)   No person shall park on any street any motorized lunch wagon or vehicle, from which tamales, peanuts, popcorn, candy, ice cream, or other articles of food are sold or offered for sale without first obtaining a written permit to do so from the City Manager or designee, which permit shall designate the specific location in which such motorized vehicle shall stand.

§ 4-5.1217.1 UNLAWFUL PEDDLING AND VENDING NEAR SCHOOL SITES.
   (A)   Findings.  The City Council finds that public and private school sites experience significant traffic congestion at opening and closing times as parents drop off and pick up children for school. The City Council further finds that the parking of motorized vending trucks on public streets when schools are opening and closing further exacerbates traffic problems and create safety issues for children trying to access the peddlers and vendors. This section is therefore necessary to protect health and safety.
   (B)   Prohibited. No person shall stop, stand, or park a motorized vehicle trailer or stand, or other device, on any street, alley, or parkway for the purpose of distributing or selling food, services, or merchandise within 300 feet of the property line of any public or private school within the 30 minutes prior to classes convening and within 30 minutes after classes end for the day.
   (C)   Exception. The above prohibition shall not apply to any vendor or peddler who has received written consent of the school principal or other authorized school official to park, stop or stand for the purpose of vending when such authorization does not interfere with public vehicle traffic or pose a traffic safety hazard to school children. Any such written authorization shall be kept and maintained with the vendor at all times for inspection.

§ 4-5.1218 EMERGENCY PARKING SIGNS.
   (A)   Whenever the City Traffic Engineer shall determine that an emergency traffic congestion is likely to result from the holding of public or private assemblages, gatherings, or functions, or for other reasons, the City Traffic Engineer shall have power and authority to order temporary signs to be erected or posted indicating that the operation, parking, or standing of vehicles is prohibited on such streets and alleys as the City Traffic Engineer shall direct during the time such temporary signs are in place. Such signs shall remain in place only during the existence of such emergency, and the City Traffic Engineer shall cause such signs to be removed promptly thereafter.
   (B)   When signs authorized by the provisions of this section are in place giving notice thereof, no person shall operate, park, or stand any vehicle contrary to the directions and provisions of such signs.

§ 4-5.1219 TWENTY-MINUTE PARKING.
   (A)   Green curb markings shall mean no standing or parking for a period of time longer than 20 minutes at any time between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on any day, except Sundays and holidays, except that the City Traffic Engineer may indicate that a different time or excepted day shall be effective and shall indicate the same by placing the appropriate sign.
   (B)   When authorized signs, curb markings, or parking meters have been determined by the City Traffic Engineer to be necessary and are in place giving notice thereof, no operator of any vehicle shall stop, stand, or park such vehicle adjacent to any such legible curb marking, sign, or parking meter in violation thereof.
