North Miami regulates food truck locations through its zoning code and right-of-way ordinances. Food trucks are generally permitted to operate on private commercial property with written authorization from the property owner. Operations in the public right-of-way require city approval. Food trucks must maintain minimum distances from brick-and-mortar restaurants and may not block pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The city restricts food truck operations near schools during school hours. Residential neighborhoods have limitations on food truck operations to manage noise and traffic impacts. North Miami has cultivated a food truck-friendly environment with periodic food truck events and rallies at designated locations including areas near MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and city parks. Vendors at these events must coordinate through the city's special events process. Food trucks must not discharge grease or wastewater onto public property. Generators must comply with noise ordinance limits. Contact Community Planning and Development at (305) 895-9825 for vending zone information.
Operating in prohibited locations results in code enforcement citations and potential towing. Blocking pedestrian or vehicular traffic carries fines. Discharging grease or wastewater onto public property violates environmental and health codes. Exceeding noise limits with generators results in noise ordinance violations.
