Food trucks may operate in commercial and mixed-use zones but are restricted near brick-and-mortar restaurants and schools.
SLC designates permitted vending zones primarily in commercial (CC, CS, CG) and mixed-use districts. Operation within 200 feet of a school during school hours requires additional approval. Special events may create temporary vending zones. Pioneer Park and other parks allow food trucks only with a Parks Department concession permit.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
