SUMMARY: The City of Bremerton recently updated our ordinance in relation of street vendors to
include language that clarifies licensing requirements and site location requirements These updates
did not address or apply to mobile vendors Mobile vendors are different from street vendors in that
mobile vendors are motorized units that may set up in any legal parking space on City streets They
must adhere to existing traffic, licensing, and parking regulations Unlike street vendors, they do not
have minimum distance restrictions from other existing businesses
The attached ordinance clarifies licensing, insurance, and safety requirements for mobile vendors
operating within Bremerton City limits These updates are designed to improve safety standards for
the vendor's customers without impeding traffic flow However, after presentation to the Finance
Committee, staff does not have a recommendation either for or against any distance restrictions from
existing businesses Should Council choose to impose distance restrictions after discussion, these
updates can be easily incorporated into the proposed ordinance update
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance No 5158 amending Chapter 516 of the Bremerton Municipal Code
