Wylie, TX Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Appendix B, Section 5.1's Land Use Chart lists Food Truck Park/Farmer's Market with an S, meaning Special Use Permit required, in the Community Retail (CR), Commercial Corridor (CC), Business Government (BG), Light Industrial (LI), Downtown Historic (DTH) and South Ballard Overlay (SBO) districts, with no entry, and so no use by right, in any residential district or the Heavy Industrial district. Parking is set per approved site plan rather than a fixed ratio. Section 5.2.F.28 defines the use as a park or market of a permanent nature allowing for mobile food units, cart food vendors, and for the sale of locally sourced foodstuffs and arts and craft products, and adds that entertainment or amusement uses on the same site need their own SUP conditions.

The additional provisions require every access and egress point, vendor stall, and fire lane to sit on an impervious concrete surface, with drive aisles and walkways on impervious or City Engineer-approved semi-impervious material; the site must carry commercial water and electricity service as a permanent use; and if the park sits within 500 feet of a residential or mixed-use district, the hours of operation become a fixed condition written into the Special Use Permit itself rather than left to the operator. A permanent restroom must sit within 500 feet of every stall, each vendor needs its own trash receptacle and fire-prevention equipment, and every mobile unit must hold a current food or health permit at the time of operation.
