Urban Village then arranges with individual farmers for them to sell their goods at the Farmers' Market. Good Times Promotions is the organizer of a festival to be held in September entitled the Dublin Pasta & Jazz Festival. As with the Farmers' Market, Good Times Promotions has obtained the required zoning approval and will obtain an encroachment permit. Good Times Promotions arranges for various purveyors offood and goods to participate in the Festival. It is possible that similar festivals or fairs will be conducted in the City in the future. For example, the owner of a shopping center could sponsor an arts and crafts fair in the shopping center parking lot subject to all required zoning approvals. The Dublin Fanners' Market and the Dublin Pasta & Jazz Festival will both be run under the auspices of the promoters who will obtain the required zoning permit. They will not be run by the City as is the . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. 6.4 annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration. In the latter situation, the City requires each business that wish~s to rent a booth to get a business license. The City's Business Registration Ordinance (DMC Chapter 4.04) requires all individuals doing business in Dublin to obtain an annual business license, which applies to the Dublin Farmers' Market, the Dublin. Pasta & Jazz Festival and other similar festival or event. The pmpose of the Business Registration Ordinance is to register businesses, trades, occupations and professions solely for the purpose of regulation (DMC section 4.04.010). The purpose is not to raise revenue (DMC section 4.04.030). A person who obtains a business license is still required to obtain all other licenses of permits required by ordinance or statute and is required to conduct the business in the proper zoning district (DMC sections 4.04.030 and 4.04.040). All businesses are required to pay a business registration fee (DMC section 4.04.050). The ordinance includes various exemptions from payment of the fee, but none appears applicable to the festivals described above. Section 4.04.250 establishes the amount of the fee at $50 per year for general businesses; $10 a day (maximum $50 per year) for itinerant businesses (which would apply to peddlers who must obtain a peddlers permit under DMC Chapter 4.16); and $10 a day for temporary places of sale. It is clear that Urban Village and Good Times Promotion must both obtain a business license and pay a fee of $50 for the year (or a prorated amount pursuant to DMC section 4.04.260). It is also clear that Urban Village and Good Times Promotion must obtain zoning approval to operate the respective festivals in the selected locations. In addition, Good Times Promotion will be asking to use the . street and will therefore need an encroachment permit. If there are any activities that will occur during either festival that require any other type of City permits or licenses (e.g., second hand dealers, DMC Chapter 4.12) or State permit or license (e.g. State Board of Equalization permits), such permits or licenses must be obtained. The Peddlers Ordinance (Chapter 4.16) does not appear applicable to the festivals. Once Urban Village and Good Times Promotion have obtained all required zoning and other applicable approvals and permits and have obtained a business license, the question becomes whether the individuals who sell food and/or goods at either festival are also required to obtain a separate business license. Under the current terms of the Business Registration Ordinance, all individuals who sell food and/or goods at a festival would need to procure separate business licenses. Many cities allow small vendors and growers that participate in festivals to work under the master business license of an operator. In order to help promote the City through the use of festivals, fairs, farmers' markets and special ever..ts, Staff suggests that the City Council consider amending the Business Registration Ordinance to clarify its application for festival-type activities. Staffhas identified two possible interpretations: . 1. Both the operator of a festival or fair and the individuals who sell food and/or goods would obtain business licenses and pay fees (Exhibit 2). -J-- . 2. The operator of the festival or fair would obtain a "master" business license on behalf of himself and all individuals who he anticipates will sell food and/or goods at the festival during the duration of the license (Exhibit 3). This option will requires an adjustment ofthe fees in section 4.04.250. . Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council conduct a Public Hearing, deliberate and waive the reading and introduce the ordinance amending Chapter 4.04 (Version A or B) or provide Staff further direction. . . .,..., ~:/- / /.7', ,.,-- 4.04.010 .
