Sidewalk vendors may not operate within 500 feet of a certified farmers' market during market hours, must maintain a clear pedestrian path of at least 4 feet, and may not attach to any public fixture. Vending near schools, parks, and special event areas may be further restricted. The Old Towne Plaza area and Chapman University vicinity may have additional time and location restrictions.
