Port St. Lucie, FL Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Sidewalk & Mobile Vending (2026)

02 of the Mobile Food Trucks Ordinance separates where MFDVs and TCKs may operate from where they may not. Subsection (a) confines them to lots inside the CN, CG, CS, IN, and WI zoning districts. Subsection (b) then lists the prohibited locations directly: any street, right-of-way, drainage right-of-way, or city easement (paragraph 1); any required preserve or landscape buffer (paragraph 2); any unimproved property (paragraph 3); and driveway aisles, no-parking zones, loading areas, or parking lanes, or any spot that would impede on-site or adjacent traffic circulation (paragraph 4).

Because a public sidewalk sits within the street right-of-way, a vendor cannot set up a cart or truck on a downtown sidewalk even where the adjoining lot is zoned CG. 03(c)(1) reinforces the ban by prohibiting a truck from obstructing or hindering the free flow of traffic, which covers a vendor parked at a curb or blocking pedestrian movement on a walkway. 04 spells out: a single-day, for-hire private event confined entirely to a residential lot, or operation on city-owned property, a city park, or another government property with that entity's written permission, none of which reach a public street or sidewalk.
