Notwithstanding any codified ordinance to the contrary, the Director of Public Service is authorized to issue temporary public right-of-way occupancy permits revocable at the will of the Council authorizing a Sidewalk Sale at locations approved by resolution of Council on sidewalks, courts, alleys, streets or other public rights-of-way in the City, subject to the provisions of this chapter. A separate encroachment permit will not be required for a Sidewalk Sale. An owner or operator of a business establishment who obtains a permit under this chapter is exempt from the license and permit requirements of Chapter 675, “Peddlers and Produce Dealers”, if the Sidewalk Sale is limited to the sale or display of the same goods, products, wares, merchandise, services or material related to services as those that the owner or operator sells or displays inside the immediately contingent building or commercial premises.
No owner or operator of a business establishment shall occupy any portion of a public sidewalk, court, alley, street or other public right-of-way with a Sidewalk Sale without first obtaining a permit in accordance with this chapter. Any business owner or operator occupying any portion of a public sidewalk, court, alley, street or other public right-of-way without a permit as required by this chapter shall be subject to the fines and penalties set forth in Sections 515.09 and 515.99 of this chapter.
