(A) No peddler or hawker shall be permitted to sell from or do business on any public street or sidewalk without first having obtained a license therefor. This license shall be in addition to any and all other licenses otherwise required of peddlers and hawkers to do business in the municipality. Merchants who conduct annual or other occasional sidewalk sales in front of their place of business, not more than five days per year, shall not be required to obtain a license under this section. Application for a license shall be made to the Municipal Clerk upon the forms supplied by the municipality and application shall specify what the peddler or hawker intends to sell and the specific location from which the peddler or hawker will conduct business. Licenses shall not be granted for areas that are not zoned commercial or industrial. Further, a license will only be granted if the application is accompanied by a notarized statement from the owner of any abutting business consenting to the sales location requested.
(B) The license shall be for a term of three months, but shall be immediately terminated if consent is retracted by the abutting business owner, or the license is revoked by the Mayor or by the resolution of the City Council.
(C) The peddler or hawker shall be responsible for the removal of any litter deposited on or in the vicinity of the area used by the licensee and shall conduct such activity in an orderly fashion and in such a manner as to protect the public health and safety. Sales shall be conducted only from the exact location described on the license. The use permitted by the license is temporary and the user acquires no right, title or interest in the space permitted to be used.
(D) The fee for the license provided for herein shall be $10.
