Full Breakdown
Sec. 12-33(MM)(4) governs mobile food dispensing vehicles (state-licensed trucks preparing food on-site). Its location table bars them from AG, A-1, R-1 through R-5, RM, and MH residential districts, most business districts, and every industrial and RAC/TOC district: they're allowed only at a town-sponsored event, or on a B-3/UC or CR parcel of at least five acres. Operating hours run 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; trucks must stay at least 250 feet from residential land, 1,200 feet from any K-12 school, and cannot remain on-site overnight. A separate track governs pre-packaged 'mobile food establishments' under Sec. 12-33(MM)(3).
Violations & Fines
Operating a food truck outside these hours, distances or districts violates Davie's Land Development Code; § 1-9 sets the Town's general penalty: up to $500, up to 60 days jail, or both, per day.
