  § 17.02. Permit required.  

Latest version.

  • It shall be unlawful for a peddler, solicitor or canvasser to engage in business within the city without first obtaining a permit, which shall be issued upon the payment of any license fee due by the applicant to the city. Roadside vendors are prohibited unless a temporary permit is obtained pursuant to the Safety Harbor Comprehensive Zoning and Land Development Code. Mobile vendors operating on private property with industrial or light industrial land uses from Monday through Friday during employee breaks and between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. are exempted from permitting. Mobile vendors may be permitted on private property as an accessory use to an establishment where beer and wine is legally sold for on-site consumption upon prior approval by the planning and zoning director and payment of the mobile vendor permit fee as described below.

    (1)

    Conditions of approval. The planning and zoning director may only grant such approval if the mobile vendor is stationed in a rear yard or other approved location, no other mobile vendor is concurrently approved to operate on the requested property, and the mobile vendor only operates for a time period not to exceed five (5) consecutive hours, starting no earlier than 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 3:00 p.m. until business closing time Friday through Sunday.

    (2)

    Issuance of permit. The community development director shall specify the required conditions of approval in a written permit certificate that shall be valid for one (1) year from the date of issuance unless sooner suspended or revoked. Failure to abide by the conditions of approval in subsection (1) and any additional conditions included in the permit by the planning and zoning director shall be grounds for immediate suspension and/or revocation of the permit.

    (3)

    Display of permit. The permit certificate shall be attached to the mobile vending vehicle or unit where it is readily visible.

    (4)

    Permit fee. The mobile vendor permit fee shall be equivalent to the fee amount established under section 14.13(20)(a) for a restaurant with one (1) to ten (10) tables.
