Doral, FL Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Doral Code of Ordinances Sec. 44-355 restricts Class I (mobile kitchens) and Class II (canteen trucks) food trucks to three zoning districts: Industrial Commercial (IC), Industrial (I) and Industrial-Restrictive (I-R). Class III ice cream trucks are not subject to this district limit under Sec. 44-358. Within the permitted districts, Sec. 44-356 allows vending from the right-of-way in light and heavy industrial areas, but a truck can only stop, stand or park in right-of-way space not used for vehicular travel: no driveway aisles, no-parking zones, loading areas or parking lanes, and the MFDV license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation must be displayed at all times.

On private property within an authorized district, a truck needs the property owner's written permission available on request, cannot operate on vacant or undeveloped land, and cannot block building entrances, exits or the ingress and egress of neighboring businesses. Sec. 44-357 adds further locational bans: operation is prohibited within 2,000 feet of a residential district, within 1,000 feet of an existing food service establishment absent a special event permit, on unimproved surfaces or abandoned business sites, and on properties fronting section-line roads including NW 12th Street, NW 25th Street, Doral Boulevard, NW 58th Street, and NW 79th, 87th, 97th and 107th Avenues within the industrial districts.

Sec. 44-360 caps density at one truck per property, adding one more truck for every 50,000 square feet of net lot area up to three total, and requires trucks to sit at least 1,000 feet apart measured in a straight line between the closest points. , and no truck can park at a single location longer than six hours. A code enforcement or law enforcement officer can issue a civil citation under chapter 11 for any violation of this zoning scheme.
