Sidewalk cafés, sidewalk sales and sidewalk vendor stands may be permitted provided they comply with all city requirements and the following standards:
(a) An application for a temporary sidewalk vender permit shall be submitted along with the related plot plan. The fee for such temporary permit shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00) and such permit shall automatically expire one (1) year from the date of permit issuance.
(b) A minimum of thirty-six (36) inches of continuous clear and unobstructed space must be maintained on the sidewalk for use by pedestrians.
(c) Sidewalk cafés, sidewalk sales and sidewalk vendor stands shall not be located in any required off-street parking space, in any location that restricts safe ingress or egress of buildings, in any location that hinders access to fire hydrants or utility shut-off valves, or in any location that obstructs a clear sight triangle or clear sight distance. Review and approval by the City Engineer shall also be required.
(d) The Zoning Administrator may impose such additional reasonable conditions or restrictions as he deems necessary on sidewalk cafés, sidewalk sales and sidewalk vendor stands to mitigate potential adverse impacts on surrounding properties, and to protect public health, safety and welfare. The Zoning Administrator may also deny approval of any application for approval of a sidewalk café, sidewalk sale or sidewalk vendor stand if he determines it could create an unreasonable risk of injury to persons or property, create disturbances or nuisances, contribute to congestion or hazards related to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, or cause an unreasonable demand for additional City services unless significantly mitigated by the owner or applicant.
