SAN DIEGO - The San Diego City Council Tuesday reapproved a $38 sidewalk vending fee, continuing a program aimed at regulating street-side sales of food and retail items.On May 17, 2022, the council approved the sidewalk vending ordinance, with initial enforcement restricted only to outreach and education. In February 2023, San Diego law enforcement personnel began enforcing the city's ordinance in beach areas, following a similar enforcement step-up in the Gaslamp Quarter in December.
According to city records, as of March 31, 2024, around 800 vendors total have been issued a permit, while 415 remained active. Since the program began, the city has collected $46,406 from sidewalk vendors. In 2023 alone, the city spent $1.8 million enforcing the ordinance. Through Fiscal Year 2024, the city spent $2.1 million on enforcement, city records show.
City staff initially recommended the new permit fee be as high as $230 per business, but negotiations with council members brought that number down to the same as a business tax certificate in the city. Los Angeles maintains a street vendor fee of $291, while local vendors can pay as high as $340 in El Cajon and as low as $30 in National City.
The ordinance also sets up parameters for where vendors can operate -- for example, 15 feet from another vendor, 50 feet from a major transit stop and 100 feet from any sidewalk or street closure.
