Summary
Any food truck operating in Miramar needs a temporary use permit before it can set up, because the Land Development Code's Table 8 classifies '"Food Trucks," mobile catering sales by properly licensed and Inspected businesses' as a use requiring one. The department reviews the application administratively, and it must be renewed roughly every 30 days.
All temporary uses and/or structures which are not otherwise treated by this Code as a permitted use or conditional use in a particular zoning district and which are not otherwise prohibited under the terms of this Code shall be conducted or erected after obtaining a temporary use permit (TUP). ... "Food Trucks," mobile catering sales by properly licensed and Inspected businesses. ... All tax-exempt organizations who qualify under section 501 of the internal revenue code are exempt from payment of the TUP fee. ... An applicant may receive a TUP on the same property not more than once every 30 days, unless approved by the city manager or said manager's designee.

Violations & Fines
Setting up a food truck without an approved TUP violates Sec. 322.1's permit requirement, and the city manager may immediately revoke an existing TUP under Sec. 322.4 if the operation 'becomes a nuisance, violates the conditions of the permit, endangers the public health, aesthetics, or safety, or is in violation of this Code.' Beyond revocation, unpermitted vending is enforceable through the city's general code compliance process.
