Information

Subject

Public hearing for Ordinance 2017-02 - Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to provide for mobile food vending as a permitted use and to establish signage regulations for mobile food vendors

Background

Ordinance 2017-02 is a companion ordinance to Ordinance 2017-01, which establishes regulations for mobile food vendor operations. The Brentwood Municipal Code does not currently address mobile food vendors (which includes food trucks and ice cream trucks that sell to the general public, as well as canteen trucks that generally serve a more targeted group, such as workers at a construction site.) Their operations would be allowed in commercial zoning districts that generally allow retail sales (C-2, C-3 and C-4) but retail food sales are not a permitted use in other districts. Ordinance 2017-02 amends various sections of the Zoning Ordinance to specifically provide for mobile food vending as a permitted use. If this ordinance is passed, mobile food service vehicles will be allowed as follows:

In all commercial zoning districts, subject to the regulations adopted under Ordinance 2017-01.
In all service-institution zoning districts, but only for special events that have been approved in advance by the City, and subject to the regulations adopted under Ordinance 2017-01.
In all residential zoning districts, but only for events conducted by homeowner or property owner associations or other special events approved by the Planning Commission, and subject to the regulations adopted under Ordinance 2017-01.

Ordinance 2017-02 also adds provisions to the City's sign regulations to reference the signage restrictions for mobile food service vehicles included in Ordinance 2017-01.

The Planning Commission will review and provide its recommendations of the proposed ordinance to the Board of Commissioners at its February 6, 2017 regular meeting.

Second and final reading of the proposed ordinance will occur on February 27, 2017.

Please contact the City Manager, City Attorney or Planning and Codes Director if you have any questions about Ordinance 2017-01 or Ordinance 2017-02.
