Summary

Food trucks in Lehi may set up wherever the Development Code allows as a temporary use, but never on a street with a speed limit over 35 mph, never on a landscaped parking strip, and never within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, utility box, ADA ramp, or building entrance.

D. Food trucks are permitted as a temporary use subject to the following: 1. Food trucks shall not be parked in a manner that impedes vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow or public safety. A minimum clearance of 15 feet shall be kept between the food truck and any fire hydrant, utility box, ADA accessibility ramp, or building entrance. 2. A food truck shall not park on any landscaped parking strip. 3. Food truck operators shall provide written notice to the Lehi Parks Director a week prior to operating in or adjacent to a City park or public facility. ... 5. ... Food trucks shall not be operated on public streets where the speed limit exceeds 35 miles per hour, or at locations that are otherwise deemed hazardous by Lehi City, unless the roadway or location has been closed to vehicular traffic for a public event.

Full Breakdown

D treats food trucks as a temporary use and spells out where and how they may operate rather than confining them to one zone. A truck cannot be parked in a way that blocks vehicle or pedestrian traffic, and it must keep at least 15 feet of clearance from any fire hydrant, utility box, ADA accessibility ramp, or building entrance. Landscaped parking strips are off limits entirely. Trucks may not operate on any public street where the posted speed limit exceeds 35 miles per hour, or at any location the City otherwise deems hazardous, unless that street or location has been closed to vehicular traffic for a public event.

Operators planning to work in or next to a City park or other public facility must give the Lehi Parks Director written notice at least a week ahead of time. 040 applies to other temporary uses; instead, the standard duration at any one location is capped at twelve hours within a 24-hour period and five consecutive days within a seven-day period, and any stay on commercially zoned private property needs the property owner's prior written consent. With Zoning Administrator review, an operation can extend to five months at the same location, then reapply for up to seven more months, and keep reapplying every six months after the first year, with City staff checking traffic, parking, and maintenance impacts at each renewal.

On public rights-of-way, trucks must park lawfully, must not block access to parking stalls, driveways, or entrances, must face their vending window toward the sidewalk or private property unless the street is closed for an event, and must clear the right-of-way by the close of each business day. Vending directly to someone standing in the roadway, or serving customers drive-through style while in motion, is prohibited outright.

Violations & Fines

Parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, ADA ramp or building entrance, vending to a person standing in the roadway, serving customers in a drive-through manner, or operating on a street with a speed limit above 35 mph without an event closure violates Development Code Section 21.080 and is a class C misdemeanor that Lehi law enforcement officers enforce under Section 21.080.G-H.

Frequently Asked Questions
