Rules for Vendors and Concessions in County Parks

The Director of Parks and Recreation is authorized and shall establish rules and regulations for peddling and concession operations in County parks, playgrounds, beaches, roads, parking lots, and other facilities and areas subject to, or adjacent to, facilities under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks and Recreation, including unpaved roadway areas adjacent to parks and any area subject to Department of Parks and Recreation jurisdiction between the ocean and the abutting property line. Such rules and regulations shall include a requirement to conduct public hearings during which input by the local community, cumulative impacts from individual and commercial uses of County lands, and cumulative impacts from individual and commercial uses on Special Management Areas (SMA) shall be considered. Such rules and regulations shall also address cleanup, maintenance, parking, signage, insurance, damage liability, and other matters deemed necessary or desirable for the orderly control of peddlers and concession operators and for the protection of the County at County parks, playgrounds, other facilities and beaches. All such rules regarding Spouting Horn concessionaires must be effective before March 31, 2008. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the additional assessment of charges for items of County cost to the peddler or concession operator.
