to operate in the Promenade and other public places. Staff
also proposed modifications to the ordinance that staff advised
would be less restrictive on street performers than the current

questions of staff regarding the following: different ambient
noise levels, amplification of sound, performance zones,
location restrictions, donations versus illegal vending,
distance between performers, hours of operation, less
restrictions on performers and recognition of the rights of
performers and the public.
The City Attorney provided information on several issues
including striking out item 4 regarding the street performers
100-foot limit away from businesses, as it appears in other
sections of the ordinance; clarified that the prohibition of
animal acts is more a Council policy and not part of the
ordinance; suggested the addition of a chapter that would make
the distance from businesses limit apply to any individuals
with a card table or similar item displaying goods; discussed
the options for the subgroup of individuals wanting to sell
buttons, pamphlets, and/or bumper stickers that carry a
message, and who are not street performers; discussed options
regarding the sign that they City proposes to require
performers to post who wish to display their creations and make
them available to the public; and, discussed Council's
established legislative record on street performers and on

and residents, on enforcement of violations of the proposed
ordinance and on the different types of possible violations.
