Analysis

This ordinance eliminates the requirement for a direct seller to obtain a special privilege permit prior to applying for a direct seller license.  It also clarifies location-related requirements of the direct seller regulations.

95-1.  Direct Sellers.

Part 2.  Section 95-1-7-a-2, 4 and 7 of the code is amended to read:

7.  REGULATIONS.

a-2.  No direct seller shall impede the free use of sidewalks and streets by pedestrians and vehicles [[; where]]  >>A direct seller shall at all times afford any pedestrian a minimum 5-foot clearance.  Where<< sales are made from vehicles, all traffic and parking regulations shall be observed.

a-4.  [[No]] >>Except for direct seller who makes sales from a legally-parked motor vehicle, no<< direct seller may occupy more than 7 linear feet of public space parallel to the curb in the operation of a business and, in addition, occupy more than 3.5 linear feet to be measured from the curb toward the property line.

a-7.  No direct seller may conduct business >>within 10 feet of a fire hydrant, in or<< within >>10 feet of<< any bus stop >>no-parking zone<< or within 20 feet of any driveway or any crosswalk at any intersection. 

Part 3.  Section 95-1-7-a-14 of the code is repealed and recreated to read:

a-14.  No direct seller shall violate any provision of s. 105-56 or s. 115-45.
