Missouri City restricts where mobile food units may operate through section 9.19 of the city zoning ordinance, limiting vending to specific districts and approved private property locations.
Section 9.19 of the Missouri City Zoning Ordinance establishes zoning standards for mobile food units. Units are generally permitted only in non-residential zoning districts, must operate from private property with the owner's written permission, and are subject to setback and parking requirements. Operating in residential neighborhoods, public rights-of-way, or other prohibited districts is not permitted. Vendors must combine zoning compliance with the Chapter 18 Article II food service permit before serving the public.
Zoning citations, daily Class C fines, cease-and-desist orders, and revocation of the city food service permit for repeat or willful zoning violations.
