Livermore allows food trucks on private property with zoning approval but restricts sidewalk vending under SB 946 to permitted zones and time limits.
SB 946 (2018) decriminalized sidewalk vending statewide and limits local restrictions. Livermore implements a sidewalk vending program under LMC with permit requirements — vendors must carry valid city permit, county health permit (for food), and comply with distance rules (no vending within 15 ft of intersections, transit stops, or driveways). Public parks vending requires separate permit. Food trucks on private property (not sidewalks) are governed by zoning — industrial, commercial, and mixed-use zones are most permissive; residential is generally prohibited.
Sidewalk vending without permit: civil fines under SB 946 ($100-500, capped by state law). Zoning violations on private property: code enforcement action.
