The moratorium will extend

approximately 90 days through September 3.

During the interim, the Department

of Environment & Community Development will develop proposed amendments

to the Fulton County Zoning Resolution to improve guidelines for roadside

vending.

Currently, many roadside vendors

do not obtain required permits, or they use the roadside vending permit

as a loophole to avoid complying with the County's Occupational Tax Certificate

Ordinance. In addition, these vendors compete unfairly with properly licensed

businesses.

"Outdoor vendors have

become a problem in South Fulton. This resolution gives us an opportunity

to address those problems, and offers a fair solution for all business

ventures," said Edwards.

The area affected by the resolution

includes all portions of unincorporated Fulton County located south of

I-20.
