Summary

In unincorporated Floyd County, mobile food vehicles cannot set up on just any commercially zoned lot. The Unified Land Development Code (Appendix B) confines Mobile Food Vehicle Parks, the county's zoning category for food-truck lots, to the C-C Community Commercial and H-C Heavy Commercial districts, and only with an approved Special Use Permit.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Floyd County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

4.1.31. - MOBILE FOOD VEHICLE PARK Mobile food vehicle parks shall comply with the following: a.Mobile Food Vehicle Parks are permitted within both the C-C Community Commercial and H-C Heavy Commercial Districts with a Special Use Permit.

Full Breakdown

Floyd County's zoning code treats a stand-alone mobile food truck lot as a distinct land use, the Mobile Food Vehicle Park, defined in ULDC Article 8 as property allowing more than one mobile food vehicle to serve customers where rent, a set-up fee, or a participation fee is charged. 31(a), that use is permitted in only two zoning districts, C-C Community Commercial and H-C Heavy Commercial, and even there it requires a Special Use Permit reviewed by the Rome-Floyd County Planning Commission before the Board of Commissioners acts on unincorporated land.

A single truck selling from a private driveway or event outside one of these parks is not addressed by this section. 31(c) requires at least three on-site parking spaces per mobile food vehicle and drive aisles wide enough for emergency vehicle access to every truck and seating area. 31(e) prohibits hosting concerts, farmers markets, flea markets, or other gatherings inside a mobile food vehicle park, keeping the use limited to food service. Because the park is also subject to the ULDC's general landscaping, buffer, stormwater, and paved-parking standards, a proposed park has to clear full site plan review, not just a zoning check, before trucks can operate.

Violations & Fines

Operating a Mobile Food Vehicle Park outside the C-C or H-C districts, or without an approved Special Use Permit, is a Development Code violation the Chief Building Inspector can act on under ULDC § 7.5.3, including a cease-and-desist order. Under § 7.6.2, conviction carries a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail, with each day of continued operation a separate offense.
