Introduction |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
The proposed code amendments have been redrafted in accordance with City Council's input during the COW meeting held on April 13, 2022. Staff received from Council a high level of comfort with the Lee County regulations for Mobile Food Vehicles and has redrafted the City's proposed code, using definitions and code requirements adapted from the County's Code.
This new code will treat Mobile Food Vendors all alike (except ice cream trucks). Mobile Food Vendors will need to stay mobile, leaving a job site at night and removing any gear. Seating areas, tented or not, will not be allowed. Ultimately, this code will eliminate "food truck based outdoor restaurants."
A new use, Mobile Food Court, is proposed to allow "Food Truck Parks." This new use willrequirefull site improvements, onsite bathrooms, parking, sidewalks, etc., and is designed to accommodate regular and long-term deployment of food trucks. These regulations were adapted from the City of Bonita Springs.
Staff provided the revised draft regulations to the City Council at the COW meeting September 14, 2022. Based on direction from the City Council, a minor revision was made to allow for imposing fines and the item is being brought forward for consideration.
