Business committee forwards ordinance to allow food trucks at entertainment businesses to full council
Summary
The Business Development Committee voted Nov. 3 to forward a planning-commission-recommended ordinance that would allow food trucks at specified entertainment businesses. The planning commission recommended approval 5–1; the dissenting commissioner cited concern about potential unfair competition with brick-and-mortar restaurants.
The Business Development Committee on Nov. 3 considered a zoning ordinance amendment, recommended by the planning commission, that would permit food trucks to operate at certain entertainment businesses. Staff said the planning commission vote was 5–1 in favor; during that commission’s discussion the lone dissenting commissioner raised concerns that food trucks could create an unfair competitive advantage over brick-and-mortar restaurants.
Council Member Deerhog moved to forward the ordinance to the full council for further consideration; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff noted the planning commission had also suggested a separate ordinance to address food-truck courts, which would be considered separately.
The item will appear on a full-council agenda for first reading and additional public review.
