Title

Mobile Food Service Unit Ordinance Amendments.

Body

Recent applications for mobile food service unit licenses have raised questions about the basis for some of the limitations in the town’s ordinance, Chapter 176 - Peddling and Soliciting. Article II (starting at Section 176-15) of the ordinance deals with these types of businesses, which are defined as:

 

a food service establishment which has all utilities and facilities contained within it, other than a power source, which has no fixed location for the operation or transaction of business and which is moved from (1) privately owned location to a different location under separate ownership not less frequently than once every four (4) hours in any twenty-four hour period, in order to serve persons otherwise present at such locations at such time.

 

Copies of ordinance language and applications for similar operations in some nearby communities are attached for comparison.
