Vending Zones: Richmond vs San Ramon

Richmond restricts food truck operations within a set distance of permitted restaurants (commonly 100-500 feet), limits operating hours, and prohibits parking on certain residential streets, while SB 946 preserves sidewalk vending rights.

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.
