Full Breakdown
Logan's where-you-can-vend rules sit in sections 5.20.050 and 5.20.060 of the Logan Municipal Code. On private property, section 5.20.060 requires all aspects of the business to be temporary in nature and removable from the premises each day. Outdoor storage of tables, chairs, umbrellas or signs is not allowed, and no overnight parking of the mobile food vendor is permitted. The vendor returns each night to the location named in the license application for cleaning, restocking, waste dumping and storage. The unit must be fully self-contained for gas, water and waste, and waste and waste water must be disposed of according to Logan City requirements, never dumped on the ground or in the stormwater system.
Section 5.20.060(C) prohibits food trucks and food trailers in the Residential Zoning Districts NR-2, NR-4, NR-6, MR-9, MR-12, MR-20 and MR-30 unless authorized in conjunction with a special event licensed under chapter 5.04.020. A mobile food vendor shall not be located on vacant or undeveloped property.
On public streets, section 5.20.050(A) draws a line by vehicle type. Food trucks and food trailers are not permitted to prepare, cook, sell or serve food within the public right-of-way, again unless authorized with a licensed special event. Ice cream trucks are the exception and can operate in the right-of-way if they carry a clearly audible backup warning device and a flashing yellow beacon on the roof, active whenever merchandise is sold or displayed. They cannot sell on public streets where the speed limit exceeds twenty five (25) miles per hour, must be completely stopped and lawfully parked when selling, can sell only from the rear or side nearest the curb or edge of the roadway on the right side of the vehicle, and cannot sell to anyone standing in the roadway (5.20.050(E) and (F)).
Vendors on public property must also show insurance under section 5.04.040, and operating hours run from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. (5.20.050(D) and (G)).
Violations & Fines
Vending where chapter 5.20 forbids it breaks the license conditions each vendor must follow. Section 5.20.050 and 5.20.060 carry no penalty clause of their own, so section 1.16.010 applies: a class B misdemeanor with a fine not to exceed $1,000, six (6) months in the county jail, or both. Section 5.02.150 allows suspension or revocation of the license for violating the chapter, and section 1.16.030 counts each day a violation continues as a separate offense.
