Frequently Asked Questions

Does Redlands treat filming permits as a special event permit?
The sidewalk vending code, Section 12.45.020, defines 'City Event Permit' to expressly include film permits alongside special event permits, temporary use permits and park reservations, treating them as one category for purposes of that chapter's vendor restrictions.
Can a sidewalk vendor set up near a Redlands film shoot?
No. Section 12.45.030(C)(8) bars stationary sidewalk vending within 200 feet of a filming location, matching the same 200-foot buffer that applies around City-sponsored events, the Certified Farmers' Market, and events held under a City Event Permit.
What counts as an 'Event Day' under Redlands's vending rules?
Section 12.45.020 defines Event Day as the calendar day of any concert, trade show, conference, sporting event, or other event likely to draw large numbers of persons and vehicles to a venue, which also triggers the 200-foot vendor exclusion in Section 12.45.030.
