Under current law, there are numerous safety and aesthetic regulations for Mall-Concourse Food Vendors but those regulations do not apply to persons vending food outside the perimeter. The amendment would make the health and safety regulations, but not the aesthetic regulations, applicable to all food vendors city-wide. Item 2. below creates the four new late-night v...
