AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 82-14 CHAPTER 775 OF THE LORAIN CODIFIED ORDINANCES AND ADOPTING NEW CHAPTER 776 OF THE LORAIN CODIFIED ORDINANCES.  

WHEREAS, the City of Lorain has determined that the identification and regulation of mobile food vending operators in a uniform manner is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and, 

WHEREAS, the City of Lorain has determined that the current ordinance regulating mobile food vending which was passed in 2014 does not adequately address the evolution of the mobile food vending industry over the subsequent twelve (12) years; and, 

WHEREAS, the City of Lorain has determined that Ordinance No. 82-14 cannot be adequately revised to address the need to regulate the changes in the mobile food vending industry that have occurred since 2014 and therefore the creation and adoption of a new regulatory policy for mobile food vending business is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizen of the City of Lorain. 

Consider for passage.
