Lubbock, TX Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

007. 003, "Permitted locations," restricts vending to the C-3, C-4, IHC, IHI, M-1, M-2, and CB1 through CB6 zoning districts, or their equivalents if the zoning map is later redrawn, as determined by the director of planning. The same section adds one downtown carve-out: the "AM Policy District," described in the city's comprehensive land use plan as bounded by 19th Street to the north, Indiana Avenue to the east, 24th Street to the south, and Quaker Avenue to the west. Selling in a city park requires a separate parks and recreation mobile food vendor agreement, and even then a vendor may operate only in the "places and times set apart and designated by the director of parks and recreation," so a park agreement doesn't open the whole park to vending.

004 layers on distance rules: no vending inside a residential or apartment zoning district, none within 200 feet of that district's boundary, none within 200 feet of an open food service establishment's entrance (waivable with the establishment owner's notarized permission), and units must sit at least nine feet off any front or rear property line. 002; permits run one year from issuance. 005.
