Attention, sidewalk vendors in Hayward! The Hayward City Council has recently approved a fresh sidewalk vending ordinance, as announced in a press release by the City of Hayward. Set to take effect from November 17, this ordinance is in line with the 2019 state legislation that legalized sidewalk vending across California.
Under the updated regulations, all sidewalk vendors are now required to apply for and obtain a specific Hayward Sidewalk Vending Permit before commencing vending activities on sidewalks. For those engaged in the sale of food items, an additional Mobile Food Facility Permit from the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health is mandatory. Furthermore, the ordinance mandates vendors to furnish essential contact information and provide comprehensive details about the merchandise they intend to sell.
It is crucial to note that failure to obtain the necessary permits can lead to the imposition of fines ranging from $250 to $1,000 for repeated violations. This stringent penalty system emphasizes the city's commitment to maintaining a streamlined and regulated environment for sidewalk vending.
