I'm not saying such detailed regulation is really necessary, but it's not really a huge barrier either. Just try to open a food truck (all the rage these ads). You'll find many more regulations than this.
The answer to over regulation is political lobbying. A good idea would be requiring retirement of existing obsolete rules before being allowed to create new ones.
Oh, wait, that's actually being done now.
