The Building and Zoning Department shall compile a list of permitted locations where the presence of a vending device on the sidewalk would be compatible with the public interest in use of street and sidewalk areas as a public right-of-way. No vending device shall be permitted in a location where its sales would be of merchandise similar to that of a permanent retail establishment in the immediate vicinity. The Building and Zoning Department may consider the width of the sidewalk; the proximity and location of existing street furniture, including but not limited to signposts, lamp posts, parking meters, bus shelters, benches, phone booths and newspaper vending devices; the presence of bus stops, truck loading zones and taxi stands; pedestrian and vehicular traffic patterns. The Building and Zoning Department may modify the list from time to time as deemed necessary.
