as used in this code, means any booth, tent, storeroom, street stand, temporary and/or open lunch counter, sandwich counter or soft drink and/or food portable containers, or other temporary place for the sale of food, confections, toys, jewelry, groceries, dry goods, drinks of all kind, goods, wares, merchandise or services, operated from doorways, building recesses, alleyways, vacant lots, street or sidewalk easements, public streets or sidewalks or any other place facing to, adjacent to or near the public streets or highways of the city.
(Ord. 1769 § 2, 1979; Ord. 2232 § 4, 1990; Ord. 2448 § 1, 1995; Ord. 3178 § 1 (Exh. A), 2018; Ord. 3298 § 1, 2024)
No person shall erect, maintain, operate or occupy any temporary stand or any temporary fair parking lot within the corporate limits of the city without first having obtained a temporary stand or temporary fair parking license therefor as provided in PMC § 5.32.280 through § 5.32.315. Having obtained such a license, the person shall be exempt from obtaining a business license as provided for in Chapter 5.04 PMC relating to business licenses and regulation; provided, however, all temporary stands which are to be operated adjacent to the fair as permitted by PMC § 20.70.010 during the annual run of the Washington State Fair and Washington State Spring Fair must apply for a permit no later than five business days before the start of the fair for which the license is requested. All other temporary stands within the boundaries of the city must apply for a temporary stand license no less than five business days prior to the first day of operation. The failure to apply for such license by such dates will waive any privilege to operate a temporary stand; provided, that the application deadline may be waived whenever the city manager finds that timely application was beyond the control of the license applicant by reason of severe circumstances. Any person seeking such waiver must file a written request with the city clerk setting forth the reasons for not having timely filed. In addition, the applicant shall deposit a refundable $100.00 late fee with the city clerk. The city manager shall, as soon as practicable, consider the request for waiver. If the waiver is denied, the license applicant shall forfeit the $100.00 late fee to the city. If the waiver is granted, the city clerk shall refund the deposit to the applicant. The decision of the city manager shall be final. No sales activities or services offered, other than those outlined in the application for temporary stand license, shall be conducted within the confines of the temporary stand once the license has been approved. The license is nontransferable and shall be posted in a conspicuous location at the place of business.

(2) 
No license for any such temporary stand shall be issued if, in the professional opinion of the fire chief such temporary stand would be unsafe or would constitute a danger, hazard or threat to the public safety.

In addition, a temporary stand license fee is fixed at the sum of $10.00 per day, with a maximum operation period of 30 days per year as provided for in PMC § 20.70.010 and § 20.70.012.
