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.
