Moorpark does not designate specific food truck vending zones but regulates vending through permits and time limits. Food trucks on public streets may operate with a Vendor Form and Badge. On private property, a Temporary Use Permit specifies the approved location. Vending near certain facilities may be restricted.
Unlike some larger cities, Moorpark does not maintain designated food truck vending zones. Instead, food truck operations are regulated through the permit system. Street vendors with a Vendor Form and City Badge may operate on public streets but may not stop for more than 30 minutes in one location without a Temporary Use Permit. Private property operations require a TUP that specifies the approved location. After the TUP period, an Administrative Permit is needed for continued operation. Food trucks must not obstruct traffic, pedestrian access, or emergency vehicle access. Operating near schools, parks, and other sensitive locations may face additional restrictions. Special events with food trucks may be permitted through the city's special event permit process. The city's Chapter 5.62 separately regulates sidewalk vending.
Operating outside permitted locations or exceeding time limits is a code violation. Obstructing traffic or emergency access is a safety violation. Contact Code Compliance at (805) 517-6232 for questions about permitted vending locations.
