UDO Text Amendment - Food Vendor Mobile Standards

Approved.

Approved amendments to Article 4.3 accessory use standards removing: (1) the 250-foot spacing requirement from other food vendors, residential zoning districts, and restaurants; (2) conflicting language in standard #4 regarding principal business closure; and (3) food truck-specific signage requirements, deferring instead to general sign regulations in Section 5.12.

City Attorney confirmed changes address ongoing lawsuit filed by food truck owners Anthony Proctor, Octavius Raymond, and Nicole Gonzales (Northwoods Urban Farm) alleging unconstitutional treatment of food trucks.
