A proposed ordinance adding business regulations and restricting where and when sidewalk vendors and pushcarts can operate in an attempt to comply with a state law was approved Tuesday by the San Diego City Council.

It also sets up parameters for where vendors can physically set up — for example, 15 feet from another vendor, 50 feet from a “major transit stop” and 100 feet from any sidewalk or street closure.

Still others said vendors took away from San Diego’s natural beauty, with one man using the word “infesting” to describe the businesses. Councilman Raul Campillo took issue with this last group.
