Summary
In the Village of Southampton, no cart, wagon or vehicle can stand still to sell goods of any kind on a list of named streets, including Jobs Lane, Main Street and Gin Lane, or in any public or private off-street parking area in the VB (Village Business) District. Chapter 84 prints no food truck permit and no designated vending zone, so the section works as a location ban.
B. No peddler, vendor, hawker or huckster or other person shall permit any cart, wagon or vehicle owned, operated, driven or controlled by him to stand or remain stationary for the purpose of selling or offering for sale therefrom or from any pack or container any goods, wares or merchandise of any kind upon or within any of the following public places in the Village of Southampton ... C. The public places or portions thereof to which the foregoing provisions shall apply are as follows: any parts or portions of Leland Lane, Narrow Lane, Hill Street, Jobs Lane, Meeting House Lane, Main Street, West Main Street, Wall Street, Meetinghouse Lane, Hampton Road, Nugent Street, Windmill Lane, Pine Street, Cameron Street, Jagger Lane, North Sea Road, Meadow Lane, Gin Lane, Cooper's Neck Lane, Cryder Lane, Halsey Neck Lane, Little Plains Road, Old Town Road and Wyandanch Lane which lies in that portion south of Gin Lane, and the parking areas adjacent thereto, and any public or private off-street parking areas within the VB (Village Business) District
Full Breakdown
Article II of Chapter 84, Peddling and Soliciting in Certain Places, was amended in its entirety on 7-24-2018 by L.L. No. 8-2018. Section 84-7A bars any person from peddling, selling, marketing, vending, hawking, pushing, promoting or soliciting orders for goods, wares, merchandise or other commodities in the listed streets, sidewalks and public places, and from going from house to house. Section 84-7B targets the vehicle itself: no peddler, vendor, hawker or huckster can permit a cart, wagon or vehicle that he owns, operates, drives or controls to stand or remain stationary in order to sell, or offer for sale, any goods, wares or merchandise of any kind from it or from a pack or container.
The list in § 84-7C names Leland Lane, Narrow Lane, Hill Street, Jobs Lane, Meeting House Lane, Main Street, West Main Street, Wall Street, Meetinghouse Lane, Hampton Road, Nugent Street, Windmill Lane, Pine Street, Cameron Street, Jagger Lane, North Sea Road, Meadow Lane, Gin Lane, Cooper's Neck Lane, Cryder Lane, Halsey Neck Lane, Little Plains Road, Old Town Road and Wyandanch Lane, with Wyandanch Lane described as the portion south of Gin Lane. It adds the parking areas adjacent to those streets and any public or private off-street parking areas within the VB (Village Business) District, as defined in Chapter 116 of the Village Zoning Law.
The chapter never uses the words food truck and prints no food vendor license or fee. Its wording reaches goods of any kind, so a truck selling food falls inside the printed text of the stationary-vehicle ban on those streets and lots. Streets missing from the list are not covered by this section. On the ocean beach, § 80-1 separately lists selling, peddling or soliciting among the unlawful commercial activities, with an exception for the bathing beach concession at Cooper's Neck Beach.
Violations & Fines
Under § 84-8, anyone who violates Article II or fails to comply with any of its requirements is subject, on conviction, to the penalties in Article II of Chapter 1. Section 1-17 there makes the offense a violation under the New York Penal Law, punishable by a fine not exceeding $2,000, imprisonment not exceeding 15 days, or both, and a continuing violation counts each day as a separate offense.
