(A) The regulations in this section apply to any person who holds a general business license or any person who holds a temporary business license. Any mobile merchant who is using a vehicle or trailer cannot claim or attempt to establish any exclusive right to park at a particular street location. Any person who is using a vehicle or trailer cannot park at any location on a public street for more than one hour within any eight-hour period.
(B) It is unlawful for any person to sell any personal property from any vehicle, pushcart, stand or other movable or temporary contrivance within 500 feet of any school grounds between that time period commencing one-half hour prior to the start of each school day and ending one-half hour after school was dismissed.
(C) No person shall sell any personal property, including, but not limited to, food and drink, from any vehicle, pushcart, stand or other movable or temporary contrivance within a public park; provided, however, that:
(1) The City Council may authorize the calling of competitive bids to approve food sales in one or more public parks and may award a franchise to one or more persons submitting the best bids; or
(2) The City Manager may authorize a person to sell food and drink in any city park that does not have a permanent concession facility without respect to competitive bid provisions if a private group or organization meeting there requests that the specific mobile merchant be permitted to sell to their group during a specified period at a specified location. A permit hereunder must be obtained for liquor sales in addition to the provisions of this section.
(D) It is unlawful for any person to sell any type of personal property from any vehicle, pushcart, stand or other movable or temporary contrivance or by peddling within 200 feet of any competing or like-type business within the city unless such person has the written permission of all competing or like-type businesses within such limit.
(E) If a like-type business locates within 200 feet of an existing sidewalk vendor location, the mobile merchant will be required to relocate unless obtaining permission under this section.
