(a) If space for vendors is available at the Market, and except as otherwise provided in Section 4-11-085, permits to occupy such available space within designated areas shall be issued upon payment of the required permit fee on a first come, nondiscriminatory* basis. Provided, however, that if a person holding an otherwise valid permit under this chapter fails to arrive at the Market within one hour prior to the time the Market is scheduled to open to the public, such person’s reserved space at the Market for that day may be reassigned by the Commissioner to another properly permitted vendor for use on that day. The Commissioner may promulgate rules relating to the issuance of permits, including but not limited to the timing of permit issuance.
* Editor’s note – Coun. J. 3-13-19, p. 96577, § 11, read "nondiscrimatory"; future legislation will correct if needed.
(b) The Commissioner may promulgate rules in accordance with Section 4-11-100 to: (1) establish procedures and requirements for allocating available space at the Market; and (2) restrict the number of permits issued to individuals who reside in the same household. For purposes of this subsection (b), the term "household" means one or more related individuals who occupy the same residence.
