Sahuarita, AZ Special Events & Permits: Street Fair Rules (2026)

030(A)(23) of the town's zoning performance standards. Before a market can operate, the organizer must obtain a town of Sahuarita special event permit application along with a zoning clearance site plan, and every individual vendor must hold both a valid state sales tax permit and a town business license. The code favors pedestrian placement: preference goes to vendor stalls on sidewalks and other pedestrian-oriented areas, provided a minimum six-foot-wide accessible lane stays open in front of each vendor space. If a market instead sets up in a parking lot, it can use any parking spaces above 90 percent of the minimum number required for the underlying commercial development, but displayed merchandise cannot encroach on driveways, fire lanes, ADA-accessible pedestrian walkways from the site perimeter, or required perimeter landscaping, and displays cannot block sight lines for vehicles exiting the site.

Markets must stay clean and free of litter and debris while operating. Parking requirements scale with frequency: if the market runs more than twice in a seven-day period, or no other activity occupies the site, organizers must provide two parking spaces per table or booth; a market that meets twice or fewer times in seven days on a site with existing parking that already matches the market's footprint needs no additional spaces. All temporary structures and equipment must come down or move into an enclosed building on days the market is closed to the public.
