Declare 45-day freeze on new outdoor vendor permits citywide
In Plain English
The city currently accepts applications from people wanting to sell food, goods, or services outdoors. If approved, no new outdoor vendor permits can be filed or processed for 45 days in any neighborhood. This temporary freeze gives the city time to review current rules and potentially create new regulations.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a 45-day freeze on new outdoor vendor permits while the city reviews its current regulations. During this moratorium, no new applications for selling food, goods, or services outdoors can be filed or processed in any neighborhood. This gives city staff time to examine existing rules and potentially develop new requirements for outdoor vendors. The measure passed with broad support as an urgency ordinance, meaning it takes effect immediately rather than waiting the typical 30 days.
