Historically, food truck and mobile retail food requests have been limited to <br />unique large scale special events, like Street Faire and the Taste of Louisville. <br />However, the mobile food industry has evolved and many food truck operators have <br />developed successful products and business models that are now attractive to many <br />property owners and business operators in Louisville. <br /> <br />Land use permits and business license applications for food trucks have increased this <br />year. Activity requests range from food trucks participating in familiar large scale <br />special events, (like Street Faire), to food trucks serving small onetime events in <br />residential areas (block parties), to daily operation of food trucks in the Colorado <br />Technology Center (CTC). <br /> <br />The Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) provides staff with useful tools to ensure the safe <br />and efficient operations of mobile food vendors. However, the LMC does not <br />specifically recognize food trucks and other mobile retail food establishments nor does it <br />recognize their unique operating characteristics. Staff believes some improvements to <br />the LMC are necessary. <br /> <br />The purpose of this study session is to review the LMC as it relates to food trucks and <br />the mobile food industry. Staff requests Council discuss possible changes to the LMC <br />given the changing business climate of the mobile food industry. <br /> <br />CURRENT REGULATIONS: <br />The LMC does not define, nor specifically permit food trucks, or other mobile retail food <br />establishments (like food tents). Staff has historically classified these land use requests <br />within Section 17.12.030 of the LMC as Use Group #35 - Sales and repair of motor <br />vehicles, outdoor sales and repair (appliances, retail goods, eating and drinking <br />establishments, etc.), rental facilities. <br /> <br />The following requirements regulate Use Group #35 in the City of Louisville zoning <br />districts: <br /> <br /> <br />2
