Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance amends various sections in Chapter 523 of the Columbus City Code in order to incorporate clearer languge and updates since the entirety of Chapter 523 was updated in July 2012
This legislation will clarify the definition of “Peddler or Solicitor or Canvasser” as it relates to City of Columbus and privately owned property. It also defines “Privately owned property” as any property that is not owned by the City of Columbus. These definition changes and additions will clarify the private property exemption found later in the chapter. Additionally, it incorporates a reference to the race event permit, created in March 2013, removes references to social security numbers, and changes the hours of operation to end at 8pm instead of 6pm.
