(a) No individual or organization shall operate, or cause to be operated, any mobile food vending unit within the corporate limits of the City of Columbiana without a current and valid mobile food vending license issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(b) No individual or organization shall operate, or cause to be operated, any mobile food vending unit within the corporate limits of the City of Columbiana without a current and valid health license issued in accordance with laws, rules and regulations established in the Ohio Revised Code, the Ohio Administrative Code, or the Columbiana City Codes, whichever is applicable. Further, the city requires that the valid health license be issued by either Columbiana or Mahoning County Health Departments.
(c) Mobile food vending units that only operate as part of a special event or public event may not require a mobile food vending license, pursuant to the approval of City Council. Such units must comply with any health licensing requirements of the State of Ohio.
(d) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as superseding, supplanting, or otherwise replacing any duty imposed by Ohio R.C. Chapter 3701 or 3717, or rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, upon an applicant for a health license, or upon a department of health in the conduct of its responsibilities relative to mobile food vending units.
(e) Each mobile food vending license shall identify the license plate number of the mobile food vending unit for which the license has been issued.
(f) Landowners that own mobile food vendor units are exempt from permit fees to operate their mobile food vendor units on their own property. An application is still required to be completed to register the mobile food vendor unit. If the landowner chooses to operate the mobile food vendor unit on property other than the landowner's property, then the applicable fees will apply.
