SB 946 limits San Leandro restrictions on sidewalk vending. Food trucks on public streets limited by zoning and meter/parking rules.
California SB 946 (Gov Code Β§51036-51039) preempts outright bans on sidewalk vendors and limits cities to objective health, safety, and welfare regulations. San Leandro has adopted rules consistent with SB 946, designating certain high-traffic areas where vending may be restricted for pedestrian flow, and permitting vending elsewhere with a license. Motorized food trucks on public streets must comply with parking limits (meter hours, 72-hour rule) and cannot operate within restricted distances of schools, public events, or brick-and-mortar restaurants in specific districts. Parks and city-owned properties generally require a separate permit.
