explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
This ordinance results from a referral from the City Commission to amend the Land Development Code to increase the allowance of food trucks within Central City District (CCD) zoning. Currently, food trucks are permitted as part of a zoning district's applicable special event permitting process, which for the CCD may occur once every 60 days. This ordinance provides general regulations for food truck special events and will allow business and/or property owners within the CCD to host a food truck special event up to once per month. Food truck special events will be limited to private property between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.

After public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on August 6, 2013, the City Plan Board held a public hearing on August 22, 2013, and recommended approval of the petition with amendments by a vote of 6-0. On November 21, 2013, the City Commission approved the petition as amended by staff by a vote of 7-0.
