Fresno County, CA Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Sidewalk & Mobile Vending (2026)

' The stated purpose is to provide adequate waiting areas, restrooms, parking, and ingress and egress to parking for these facilities where allowed by the applicable zone district under Article 2. The standards distinguish several formats. Dairy drive-ins must keep all activity besides delivery of merchandise to the customer inside an entirely enclosed structure, with adequate ingress, egress and waiting areas on site. Drive-through kiosks, as defined in Article 7, are capped at 350 square feet of building area and may sell items like food and beverages to motorists, but the sale of alcoholic beverages through a drive-through kiosk is flatly prohibited.

Drive-in movies and drive-in restaurants must each provide adequate waiting area, parking, and ingress/egress on the subject parcel. For mobile food facilities and mobile support units specifically, the standard requires adequate restroom facilities and parking, plus ingress and egress to that parking, all provided on the subject parcel. Because this is a siting standard tied to a fixed parcel, it governs where a truck or unit may operate under the zoning code rather than creating a separate public-right-of-way sidewalk vending permit; the county code reviewed here contains no distinct sidewalk-vendor licensing chapter. 5, approved by the Director of Public Works and Planning, to confirm compliance before operation begins.
