Vending Zones: Brentwood vs San Ramon

Brentwood regulates where food trucks may operate through zoning and time-and-place rules consistent with SB 946 and SB 972. Trucks generally may operate on private commercial property with the owner's consent and at permitted events, with some restrictions near schools and in residential zones.

San Ramon restricts food truck and mobile food facility operating locations through zoning and SB 972-consistent regulations. Typical restrictions include: no parking within a specified distance of brick-and-mortar restaurants, schools during school hours, or residential property lines; time limits on stationary vending; and prohibition in certain zoning districts unless at an approved site. Private property operation requires owner permission. City-sponsored events at Central Park and Bishop Ranch designate approved vendor areas.
