Vending Zones: Lewisville vs Little Elm

Lewisville permits food truck operations on private property zoned for commercial, retail, or mixed-use purposes with written property owner consent under Unified Development Code Chapter 114. The Old Town Lewisville area along Main Street has become a popular destination for food truck gatherings, particularly during city-sponsored events. Food trucks may not operate on public rights-of-way including streets, sidewalks, and medians without specific event authorization. Regular commercial food truck operations on residentially zoned property are prohibited, though temporary food service at neighborhood events may be permitted through the special events permit process. Multiple food trucks at a single location may require a special event permit depending on vendor count and expected attendance.

Little Elm allows food trucks on private commercial property with owner consent but restricts vending in residential zones and public rights-of-way without town approval.
