Oxnard, CA Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Section 8-47(B), enacted by Ordinance No. 2952, regulates 'street vending': parking a vehicle from which food, merchandise, or other items are sold, displayed, or offered on any street, alley, sidewalk, or public property in Oxnard. The section names specific rights-of-way where a vending vehicle can never park: C Street, Channel Islands Boulevard, Camino Del Sol, Del Norte Boulevard, Fifth Street, Gonzales Road, Harbor Boulevard, Hueneme Road, Oxnard Boulevard, Pleasant Valley Road, Rice Avenue, Rose Avenue, Saviers Road, Ventura Road, Victoria Avenue, Vineyard Avenue, and Wooley Road. On every other street the vehicle still cannot park within 100 feet of an intersection or within 50 feet of a driveway or of another vending vehicle already parked at the curb.

Every operator must carry a valid city business tax certificate, and citywide, cannot park within 900 feet of a school or daycare center between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on school days. In areas mapped as residential, the vehicle cannot be parked before 9:00 a.m. or sunrise (whichever is later) or after 7:00 p.m. or sunset (whichever is earlier). Once parked, the operator must stop playing music, ringing bells, or otherwise advertising with noise, and must set out a visible trash receptacle for customers. The restrictions don't reach delivery drivers dropping off pre-ordered goods, vendors with a city temporary use permit, or vendors under a written license agreement with the city for a specific public property.
