Summary
Edinburg bars mobile food trucks from residential and agricultural zones by default and keeps them 100 feet from any open restaurant's front door.
No mobile food vendor shall conduct business within any single-family residential or agricultural zoning district unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning and Zoning Director. A mobile food vendor may not be located within 100 feet of the primary entrance of an open and operating fixed-location food service or eating establishment except during city sponsored or other community events.
Full Breakdown
Under Sec. 112.18(H), a permitted mobile food vendor can't operate in a single-family residential or agricultural zoning district unless the Planning and Zoning Director approves it in writing. Even outside those zones, a truck or trailer can't set up within 100 feet of the main entrance of an open, operating fixed-location restaurant: except during a city-sponsored or other community event, when that buffer is waived. Vendors must also carry the property owner's written permission for any private-property location.
Violations & Fines
Vending in a restricted residential/agricultural zone without written Planning and Zoning Director approval, or setting up within 100 feet of an open restaurant's entrance outside an approved event, can trigger permit suspension or revocation under Sec. 112.18(E)-(G), with repeat violations barring re-permitting for 90 days to a year.
