Full Breakdown
Satellite Beach City Code § 55-21 controls where vendor, concession and applicant stands and booths sit at a permitted special event. Every proposed stand or designated vendor site has to be marked on the site plan sketch submitted as part of the permit application and approved by the city; nothing gets placed without that sign-off. The section anticipates that additional vendors and concessionaires will want to join after the initial planning meeting required under § 55-4, and puts the burden on the event applicant, not individual vendors, to notify the city of every addition and its proposed location before the special event begins.
Food trucks get a specific checkpoint: § 55-21 requires all food truck inspections to be completed before the event opens, tying vendor approval to the city's health and safety review rather than leaving inspection for after the fair starts. 00 added if alcohol is sold, and § 55-11 requires any alcohol and beverage sales at the event to comply with both Florida law and Chapter 6 of the city code, with the alcohol licensee responsible for keeping open containers off the event site.
Violations & Fines
Setting up a vendor, concession or booth at a Satellite Beach special event without it being marked on the approved site plan sketch, or without notifying the city of the location before the event, violates § 55-21 and is a Chapter 55 violation subject to the § 1-13 penalty and civil remedies under § 55-23. A food truck operating without its pre-event inspection under § 55-21 is likewise a permit violation.
