Proposed Amendment to the Land Development Code - Food Truck Courts
end
BACKGROUND:
The Mayor’s Office has requested Planning Board to discuss and take action on a proposed ordinance allowing food truck courts as a commercial land use. This item was discussed at the March and April 2023 Planning Board meetings and feedback from the board was incorporated into the revised document. The proposed ordinance would allow food truck courts as a primary use in zoning districts C-1, C-2, C-2A, C-3, M-1, M-2, GRD, and WRD, and as a conditional use in PC-1. The proposed ordinance also outlines general site development requirements for the specific use, including brick-and-mortar bathrooms, seating requirements, and landscaping and buffers. Approval of this proposed ordinance would also require the amendments of Sec. 12-3-8(2)a. to include “food truck courts” as a permitted use in C-1, Sec. 12-3-10(2)c.3.viii. to include “food truck courts” as a permitted conditional use in PC-1, and Sec. 12-3-12(3)b.8. to include “food truck courts” as a permitted use in WRD.
