Santa Monica Police Officers arrest a street vendor at the Santa Monica Pier on Tuesday, January 25, 2022. The street vendor may have been  arrested for an outstanding warrant. Two other food vendors were detained, cited, and released at the Santa Monica Pier. The unpermitted vendors were cited for violation of Santa Monica Municipal Code 3.36.290, Prohibition on the use of combustible fuels in and around pier.  A Santa Monica Firefighter confiscated several canisters of butane at the Santa Monica Pier.

The newly formed task force has been instrumental in helping to educate and enforce the City’s safety laws and ensuring safe sidewalk vending practices across the City.

According to information from the City of Santa Monica website https://www.santamonica.gov/topic-exp... ;   Santa Monica was one of the first cities in the state to develop a permitted vending program. The City's comprehensive program that has allowed permitted or licensed vendors to operate for over 30 years includes permitting processes and parameters for safe vending, and today over 150 vendors are legally permitted to vend in the city. In 2018, the state law changed with the “Safe Sidewalk Vending Act” (SB 946) to provide important entrepreneurship and economic opportunities to low-income and immigrant communities.

State and local laws guide safe vending practices and standards in Santa Monica. All vendors need a City of Santa Monica business license and if applicable, a vending permit to sell any items in the City, and vendors selling food must also obtain and display a Los Angeles County Department of Public Health permit. The permit requirements reflect Santa Monica’s commitment to balancing public health and safety with expanding opportunities for micro-entrepreneurs.

Vendors are encouraged and welcome in many sidewalk locations throughout the City. In particular, sidewalk vendors are encouraged to vend on the sidewalk along Colorado Avenue between the Expo Light Rail Line (4th Street) and Ocean Avenue (top of the Santa Monica Pier). Please see the top resources above for more info on restricted areas including Third Street Promenade, Palisades Park, Santa Monica Pier and the beach.
