Full Breakdown
Sec. 13-563(a) of the city code confines stationary mobile food vendors on private property to parcels zoned commercial, industrial, multi-family or mixed-use planned development, and only where the truck operates as a licensed use authorized under that zoning classification. The same section caps stationary operation on one property at any part of three consecutive days unless a special event permit applies, bars use of handicap or required parking spaces, and prohibits blocking ingress, egress or emergency exits. Trucks may not be stored on-site when operation there is otherwise prohibited.
Violations & Fines
Operating outside an eligible commercial, industrial, multi-family or mixed-use zone, exceeding the three-day stationary limit, or blocking required parking violates Sec. 13-563 and risks registration or permit revocation under Sec. 13-568.
