SB 946 limits where Rancho Cordova can prohibit sidewalk and mobile food vending. Restrictions must be tied to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns.
California Government Code §51038 as enacted by SB 946 permits local regulation of sidewalk vendors only when directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns. Cities cannot require vendors to operate only from designated zones as a general matter, but may restrict operations in parks (via concession contracts), at certified farmers markets during operating hours, and in locations that cannot accommodate vending without obstructing pedestrian flow or ADA accessibility. Rancho Cordova applies these rules through business licensing and nuisance provisions. Mobile food trucks in residential zones are typically limited to short stops (ice cream trucks) with stricter rules on proximity to schools and stopping duration.
