Dude asks; "How are a bunch of NYLON tents to be safer than what was already there, for fire purposes?"
They're safer because they're taken down daily. That also makes them comply to County code because they're not permanent structures. The existing setup would comply if it was taken down daily; but it's design doesn't allow that.
If it's raining, where would people go to stay dry other than some vendors tent, and why would that be bad for the vendor?
There are challenges to vendors bringing their own structures. There are challenges to putting up a $500,000 permanent structure; The vendors need to ask themselves which challenges are more viable.
Pop up tents are temporary structures taken down daily and need no setback.
