FCS-11-131
SUBJECT:
REPEAL AND REPLACE CHAPTER 586 (REFRESHMENT
VEHICLES) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
That Chapter 586 (Refreshment Vehicles) be repealed and replaced and a by-law be
prepared for Council’s consideration on June 27, 2011.
BACKGROUND:
On May 9, 2011 Council delegated authority to the Manager of Licensing to permit the Manager
to issue stationary refreshment vehicles within the 200 metre distance separation provided no
objections were received. In order to facilitate that authority Chapter 586 (Refreshment
Vehicles) must be amended.
REPORT:
The most significant change to the by-law is the addition of Sections 16-21 which now give the
Manager of Licensing the authority to issue a Class A (stationary refreshment vehicle) which
include hot dog carts and chip wagons once notification has been made to places of
refreshment within 200 metres of the licence applicants proposed location and 400 metres from
any other licensed Class A refreshment vehicle and no objections have been received.
There are also some minor housekeeping changes made to the by-law. These include:
adding definitions for highway, operator licence and school day
the different refreshment vehicle types and the definitions have been changed to a class
system
“Class D refreshment vehicle” which is the manually propelled cycle vehicle will be
permitted to sell other refreshments as well as ice cream provided Waterloo Regional
Health approves.
