§ 7.28.010. Open-air market.

A.

An open-air market is created within the area located between the premises known as 110 Compromise Street, along Compromise Street to the intersection of Market Space, excluding the Alfred A. Hopkins Plaza and sidewalks located immediately adjacent to the Market House, for persons selling products or commodities that are produced, caught or raised by them, provided they are not employees of others.

B.

All sales shall be conducted from within spaces prepared and set aside by the City to be rented to those merchants desiring to sell products or commodities at the open-air market. The amount of the rental fee shall be determined, from time to time, by the City Council, by resolution. No more than two spaces shall be rented to any one merchant. Designated spaces may be rented by merchants not using vehicles at the same rental rate. All merchants shall remove their stands and produce from the sidewalks each evening by ten p.m. The removal of greenery and stands shall not apply to the period in which Christmas articles are being sold. Stands and merchandise shall be arranged so as to not block or impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

C.

With the authorization of the City Manager, or his or her designee, and subject to terms and conditions approved by the City Manager, or his or her designee, the market house tenant or sub-tenants, may establish an open-air market in any area of the Alfred A. Hopkins Plaza or on any part of the sidewalk and parking and loading areas adjacent to the market house, where vendors may sell produce and other goods, whether produced, caught or raised by such vendors or by others. The City Manager, or his or her designee, upon providing advance notice to the vendors, shall have the unconditional right to withdraw use of any area designated for open-air market purposes, either temporarily or permanently.
