Doral permits food truck operations primarily in commercial and mixed-use zoning districts and at city-sanctioned events. Food trucks are restricted from operating in residential zones and must maintain minimum distances from brick-and-mortar restaurant entrances. The city designates specific areas for food truck gatherings.
Under Doral's zoning code, food truck operations are permitted in commercial and mixed-use zoning districts with written authorization from the property owner. Food trucks are prohibited from operating in residential zoning districts. The city requires food trucks to maintain a minimum distance from the entrances of brick-and-mortar restaurants to avoid unfair competition. Food trucks cannot obstruct traffic, sidewalks, or parking spaces. Doral has designated specific areas for food truck gatherings, particularly in the Downtown Doral and CityPlace Doral mixed-use developments. The city sponsors regular food truck events at Doral Central Park and other public spaces. Food trucks at these events operate under the city's special event permits. Hours of operation in commercial areas are generally limited to business hours unless part of a permitted special event. Trucks must comply with noise ordinance limits, especially when operating near residential boundaries. Contact the Planning and Zoning Department at (305) 593-6740 for zone-specific questions.
Operating a food truck in a residential zone results in code enforcement citations. Failing to maintain required distance from restaurant entrances, obstructing traffic or sidewalks, and operating outside permitted hours carry fines. Operating without property owner authorization on private property is a violation. Contact Code Enforcement at (305) 593-6740.
