Item No. 16 <br />TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council <br />Grayson Path, City Manager <br />FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development <br />SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Chapter 5, Article 5.07 Division 4 Mobile Food Units <br />and Food Truck Parks <br />DATE: July 26, 2021 <br />BACKGROUND <br />At its meeting held, on July 6, 2021 the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously <br />recommended approval of this minor ordinance amendment to adopt changes in the regulations <br />regarding the Mobile Food Unit and Food Truck Parks. The changes now allow both mobile units <br />in the downtown CA Zoning District for daytime operations and parks by SUP in the CA. A new <br />special promotion permit may also be approved for mobile units to occupy public parking spaces <br />once per year for up to a 2 -day period adjacent to where the business is located. Two parallel <br />space may be occupied and three diagonal spaces. City staff will assist with the temporary closing <br />or reserving of the parking spaces for these special events and will also conduct safety inspections <br />of the mobile unit set up arrangements in addition to their annual license safety inspection. <br />The attached draft ordinance also contains recommendations by staff and the Planning <br />Commission to operate on private property without a permit which is already covered under the <br />existing ordinance regulations provided the food trucks set up during the day and leave each night <br />with the new allowance to operate in the downtown. If they want to remain parked on the property <br />overnight consistently, then the SUP for a Food Truck Park would be required. <br />Recommendation <br />Approval of the minor changes to the Mobile Food Unit and Food Truck Parks ordinance <br />regulations are recommended. <br />
