Full Breakdown

050(a)(9), which lists ten conditions a food truck must meet. The permit ties the truck to a single stationary location, since item (i) bars trucks from roaming throughout the city or selling at multiple locations, and item (ii) requires the location to be an established use rather than a vacant lot or an abandoned business. Item (iii) keeps trucks at least 500 feet from an existing restaurant selling the same or similar cuisine, and item (iv) caps any single location's permit at ninety days per calendar year.

The grading requirement sits at items (v) and (vi): the operator must be fully licensed with the County of San Bernardino Department of Environmental Health Services, must show proof of that licensing including the truck's current food letter grade, and must post all applicable licensing and food grades on the truck itself, so the letter grade has to be visible to customers rather than just on file with the city. Item (vii) additionally requires a City Business License, item (viii) bars the truck from obstructing pedestrian or vehicle access, item (ix) bars additional signage such as sidewalk signs, and item (x) requires proof of proper grease-waste disposal.

Because the county health department, not the city, issues the letter grade itself, Victorville's role under this section is to make the county's inspection result a permit condition and require it to be posted where customers can see it before ordering.

Violations & Fines

Operating a food truck in Victorville without a current county health letter grade posted, or without proof of San Bernardino County Environmental Health licensing on hand, violates the Temporary Use Permit conditions in Section 16-3.07.050(a)(9)(v)-(vi) and can result in permit revocation plus the citywide penalties in Section 1.04.010, infraction fines up to $100 for a first offense and $1,000 for repeat violations within a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Victorville food truck have to show its health inspection grade?
Yes. Section 16-3.07.050(a)(9)(vi) requires all applicable licensing and food grades to be posted on the food truck itself, and item (v) requires the operator to show proof of San Bernardino County Environmental Health licensing, including the truck's current food letter grade, before it can operate under a Temporary Use Permit.
Who actually issues the letter grade a Victorville food truck must post?
The San Bernardino County Department of Environmental Health Services issues the license and the letter grade, not the City of Victorville; the city's Development Code makes holding and posting that county grade a condition of the Temporary Use Permit required to operate a food truck within city limits.
Can a food truck move around Victorville to different spots each day?
No. Section 16-3.07.050(a)(9)(i) ties each Temporary Use Permit to one stationary location and bars the truck from roaming to sell at multiple locations, and item (iv) further limits that single location's permit to no more than ninety days within one calendar year.
