City staff recommended fee of $230, which was lowered to $38 prior to passage, would have raised $230,000 from anticipated 1,000 vendors yearly.
The plan being considered would include a partial ban of street vendors in Balboa Park and parts of Little Italy, reports NBC 7's Artie Ojeda.
To enforce the ordinance and educate vendors, a city document estimates 32 new jobs in San Diego's Development Services and Parks & Recreation departments are needed at a total cost of $5.1 million. The initial regulations going into effect this summer will impose restrictions on vendors, including when they can sell wares in"high-traffic" areas like boardwalks, beach-facing sidewalks and parks between Memorial and Labor days.
