[Adopted 2-1-2011 by Doc. 13]
The purpose of this article is to protect, preserve and maintain
the public health, safety and welfare by regulating business activities
relating to exterior vending machines, as defined herein. This article
sets forth requirements for the review of exterior vending machines
so that such machines may be permitted without adversely affecting
the public health, safety and welfare.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Any automated machine that is placed outside of a fully enclosed
building and that is designed to allow consumers to insert monies
by way of cash, credit or debit cards and obtain goods, merchandise
or products stored within or produced by the machine, excepting all
food, beverage or cigarette vending machines.
The use and/or placement of all exterior vending machines shall
require a license from the City Council. Each license shall be valid
for one calendar year. Application for such licenses shall be on a
form prescribed by the City Clerk, and a fee of $100 shall be paid
for each machine to be licensed. The application shall be submitted
to the Police Chief, Fire Chief, Building Inspector, Wiring Inspector
and the Board of Health for review and comment prior to the City Council
taking final action on the application. The City Council shall then
hold a public hearing on such license. In determining whether to issue
such a license, the City Council may consider issues pertaining to
hours of operation, traffic, lighting, noise and such other issues
as may affect the public health, safety and welfare. The City Council
may impose reasonable conditions upon the issuance of any such license.
Each licensed machine shall display a sticker from the City evidencing
that it is properly licensed.
