Gwinnett County, GA Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

2(A) sets three location restrictions that decide where a standalone mobile food service unit can legally park in unincorporated Gwinnett County. Item 1 limits the truck to property zoned for office, commercial, or mixed-use development, and further requires the lot to already contain a principal building, so a food truck cannot set up alone on a vacant or undeveloped parcel. Item 2 requires the truck to stay at least 100 feet from the main entrance of any eating or drinking establishment, a buffer meant to keep food trucks from parking directly outside a competing restaurant's front door.

Item 3 bars the truck from conducting business or operating within 50 feet of the public right-of-way unless it has been otherwise invited or permitted, keeping trucks off the shoulders of county roads and out of the sight lines drivers need at intersections and driveways. Item 6 adds a circulation-based restriction: the truck cannot disrupt controlled vehicular ingress and egress on the site and cannot occupy required off-street parking spaces, so operators typically have to use surplus parking rather than striped spaces a landlord needs for other tenants.

1: a truck at the Gwinnett Entertainment District, a commercial development of at least 750,000 square feet, or land zoned MU-R Regional Mixed Use does not need the standalone permit that carries these location conditions, and a truck operating alongside a permitted Temporary Outdoor Event or Holiday Activity is governed by that event's site plan instead.
