Section 7 - Property Specific Considerations and Information
Food, Beverage, & Vending During Events
The St. Pete Pier is an active public space consisting of multiple tenants serving food, beverage, and
other products or services year-round. Please keep in mind the following when selecting vendors and
planning your event:
Consider food & beverage vendors that are not competing with any of the existing tenants. We
recommend contacting the existing tenants to see how they can partner with you on your event.
Consider vendors that do not compete or sell the same items as any tenants in the Pier
Marketplace.
Consider placement of your vendors to not be in direct competition with any existing tenants.
Additionally, all vendors must comply with the following:
All food vendors must be licensed by the Florida Department of Health
All food vendors must comply with Fire Regulations when cooking on-site, including but not
limited to the possession of:
o Minimum of 6-ft hose for propane tanks to any point of ignition
o K1 series fire extinguisher (up to date)
o Regular fire extinguisher (up to date)
Use of plywood or other materials to prevent any grease spill to property.
All vendors must comply with St. Pete Pier code provisions.
Each vendor must have a trash can within 6ft of their booth.
Vendors are not allowed to “roam” outside permitted event area.
Any violation is grounds for dismissal from the Pier District.
Serving or Selling Alcoholic Beverages
Serving or selling alcoholic beverages as a part of your event on the St Pete Pier will require you to
either hire a Caterer with the appropriate licenses required, or you can apply for a Temporary Alcohol
License through the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. A Temporary Alcohol License
will require a partnership with a local not for profit organization. More information and application
form can be found at http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/abt/forms/documents/abt6003.pdf

backup equipment for your use. This will be discussed and determined during the event overview
meeting.

Preferred Vendors & Vendor Fees

amenities, rules, and regulations.

able in full here) are as follows:
The following acts, among others, and the causing thereof, are
declared to be loud, raucous, disturbing, and/or excessive noise, posing
a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City, and
therefore unlawful and in violation of this article:
(1) . . . [M]otorboats moored or operating in waters within the City's
jurisdiction.
a. Operating or amplifying the sound produced by a radio,
tape or compact disc player, or other instrument or ampli-
fication device from within . . . a motorboat moored or op-
erating in waters within the City's jurisdiction, so that the

ator and any passengers in the . . . motorboat between
the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.
b. Operating or amplifying the sound produced by a radio,
tape or compact disc player, or other instrument or ampli-

mitted by any applicable law.
2
Subsection 11-53(1) contains numerous references to “a motor vehicle which is located in the paved or vehicular
travel portion of a right-of-way, including parking areas in the right-of-way.” Because the City vacated the right-of-
way in every portion of the District outside of the municipal pier gateway, these provisions do not apply within parking
areas on the municipal pier approach and have been omitted here to prevent confusion.
00517669 / v06 12 of 25
. . .
(2) Publicly-owned outdoor places including right-of-way.
a. Playing, using, operating or permitting to be played, used,

plifies sound in any park, playground, beach, recreation
area or any other outdoor publicly owned outdoor place or
right-of-way so that the sound is plainly audible to any per-
son at a distance of 50 feet or more from the source of
the sound between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. the follow-
ing morning.

the sound is plainly audible to any person at a distance of
5,000 feet or more from the source of the sound between
the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. This distance is
primarily intended to be utilized for permitted outdoor
concerts and other large gatherings, it being understood
that because of the unique location of the parks along the
00517669 / v06 13 of 25
waterfront that sound may travel greater distances over
the water so that at times some of the sound may be
briefly audible at a distance greater than those set forth
herein.
In any park or street closure permit, the POD may reduce
the maximum distance from the distance set forth herein,
based on the number of the expected participants of the
permitted event and the area reserved for the event. The
reduced distance shall be specifically identified in the per-

sible for issuing the permit shall balance the interests of the com-
munity or surrounding neighborhood, the person or persons re-

scribe any reasonable conditions or requirements deemed nec-
essary to minimize adverse effects upon the community or the
surrounding neighborhood, including but not limited to the use of
mufflers, screens, or other sound attenuating devices.
(1) Standards for issuance of a special variance shall include
the following findings:
a. A benefit will accrue to the City.
b. The benefit to the City and its residents outweighs
the temporary hardship, if any, to occupants of
property in the surrounding neighborhood.
c. A variance would advance an established policy of

00517669 / v06 15 of 25
d. The proposed noise violations will not be unrea-
sonable under the circumstances and restrictions
