(a) The City recognizes and supports the vitality and activity that is created by outdoor business activities at special events within the French Creek Business District, in City parks and in other locations. However, the operation of such business or other uses within public street rights-of- way requires careful consideration and review to ensure that such uses function in a manner as to create the aforementioned benefits without any undue negative effects.
(b) The purpose of establishing these regulations is to create a pleasant and vibrant downtown environment for visitors and residents, to provide an opportunity for limited operations in park and residential areas, to prevent the obstruction of pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle traffic, to ensure that adequate efforts are made to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public by requiring permits for mobile food vehicles and to establish minimum requirements for the operation of such vehicles related to their location, hours of operation, sanitation, cleanliness, etc.
