The San Diego City Council unanimously approved strengthening an ordinance to prevent vendors from setting up in parks or sidewalks along local beaches.
The Monday decision ends weeks of lobbying by a coalition of local town councils from Ocean Beach to La Jolla.
“What we’re most concerned with is protecting the public’s access to the beach,” said Mission Beach Town Council president Larry Webb. Dozens of street vendor popup tents line the Mission Beach boardwalk, and, in some cases, block ocean views, reports NBC 7's Artie Ojeda. An older city ordinance strengthened the regulations against unpermitted street vendors, but the City of San Diego couldn’t enforce those regulations in a coastal zone that fell under the California Coastal Commission’s control.“There’s very limited enforcement,” Webb said.“That would then allow the city to begin full enforcement of the street vending ordinance,” he said.
