Full Breakdown
LDC Table 8 to Sec. 322 lists 'Sidewalk or Parking Lot Sale' as a temporary use requiring a TUP reviewed at the administrative and, for larger sales, Development Review Committee level. ' That means only an existing business with a current Business Tax Receipt can hold the sale, and the vending must stay on that business's own lot, not spill onto the public sidewalk or street right-of-way. Because these are recurring promotional sales rather than one-time events, Sec. ' Every TUP application still goes through Sec.
2's submission requirements, including 'all established and required fees, documents, and plans,' and remains subject to Sec. 2's rule that any off-site parking used for the sale must be authorized in writing by the property owner so it does not eliminate the site's required parking.
Violations & Fines
A business that runs a sidewalk or parking lot sale without a current BTR and ZCU, or that lets the sale extend into the public right-of-way, falls outside footnote 2's protection and is operating without a valid TUP. Sec. 322.4 authorizes the city manager to revoke the permit immediately if the sale becomes a nuisance or violates its conditions, and further sales activity is then unauthorized.
