1. A pushcart shall not allow, cause or obstruct the passage along any sidewalk, street, alley or parking lot as a result of a congregation of people seeking service from the pushcart or because of the size, shape or placement of the pushcart so as to interfere, inhibit or block the normal flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
2. A pushcart shall not violate parking regulations.
3. A pushcart shall not sell to any person operating a vehicle on a public street while the person’s vehicle is located within the traveled portion of the roadway. A pushcart may sell to a person operating or occupying a motor vehicle that is legally parked, but may only do so from the curb side of said parked vehicle.
4. No pushcart or equipment shall be allowed to remain in the public right-of-way at the close of business.
5. All pushcarts and equipment associated with the business shall be maintained so as to enhance the aesthetic and overall appearance of the area in which the pushcart is operated.
6. Pushcart vendors agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City from and against any and all loss, cost, damages or claims to persons or property, including property of the City, arising out of or claimed to have arisen out of the operation of a pushcart. In addition, pushcart vendors agree to defend, at no cost to the City, any such claims or lawsuits. The City may, at its option, join the defense of such claim or lawsuit without relieving the pushcart vendor from its obligations to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City.
7. Pushcarts may operate anywhere within a designated mobile food unit zone on a paved surface, designated parking space or sidewalk subject to the other requirements of this chapter. In addition, a pushcart may operate at a requested location on private property provided application has been made for permission to operate the requested location and that application is accompanied by a verifiable letter from the owner or person in control of the property granting permission to operate on the premises. Permission by the owner/person in control of property may be rescinded at any time by notifying the City Building and Zoning Department in writing that permission is rescinded. If permission is rescinded, no fees or portion of fees paid will be refunded.
8. No pushcart shall conduct business in areas of the City at which they are not permitted or authorized.
9. Pushcarts shall be subject to the same permit and fee structure as all other mobile food units.
