   This Chapter is intended to regulate the operation of mobile food vending units or mobile food vending parks within designated zoning districts. Mobile food vending operations are permitted in many locations in the business and light industrial districts. Such operations are also permitted in residentially-zoned districts of the City, if an institutional use is also present that provides adequate opportunity for mobile food vending.
(Ord. 567. Passed 10-4-22.)
1293.02   PUBLIC LANDS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
   No mobile food vending unit or mobile food vending park shall operate on any public land or public right-of-way unless first receiving a special event food vending permit issued via resolution of the City Council.
(Ord. 567. Passed 10-4-22.)
1293.03   PERMIT REQUIRED.
   (a)   No mobile food vendor shall operate a mobile food vending unit without a permit issued by the Zoning Administrator authorizing such operation. The Zoning Administrator shall prescribe the form of such permits and the application for such permits. The City Council shall set fees for the available permits from time to time via resolution.
   (b)   No vending through a mobile food vending unit of food or other human consumables shall be permitted unless operating pursuant to a permit issued under this Chapter.
   (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no permit shall be required for a mobile food vending unit that is operated in conjunction with a community event approved by City Council through resolution. However, such units must still comply with all other applicable requirements of this Chapter and pay any established fee.
   (d)   Duration of Permit; non-transferability. The City Zoning Administrator may issue a single-day food vending permit, a temporary food vending permit valid for up to fifteen (15) days, or a seasonal food vending permit valid for up to nine (9) months. The mobile food vending unit must be identified on the permit. Any permit issued under this Chapter is nontransferable. Permit holders have no vested right to renew such permits, which may be subject to new conditions not included in the original permit.
   (e)   Application for permit. Any mobile food vendor desiring to engage in mobile food vending in the City shall submit a completed application to the Zoning Administrator for a permit under this Chapter. The applicant shall truthfully state all information requested on the application for a permit. Additionally, the applicant shall provide all documentation, such as proof of insurance and a signed indemnity agreement, as required by this Chapter or the application form. The application for a permit shall be accompanied by a fee established by the resolution of the City Council and shall be required at the time of application. Regardless of when the application is submitted during the calendar year, the fee shall be required in full, and the fee shall not be prorated. The applicant must identify on the application the dates for which operation is being requested.
   (f)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, an application for mobile food vending shall not require a site plan conforming to the requirements in Chapter 1274. Instead, the applicant may submit an annotated aerial sketch showing the proposed location of the mobile food vending unit(s) and any accessory items (tables, trash cans, etc.) that would accompany it to the Zoning Administrator; for review.
(Ord. 567. Passed 10-4-22.)
