Council approves temporary permit for food trailer at 110 Old Kyle Road
Summary
Council approved a temporary structure permit for Took's Comfort Food LLC to place a food trailer at 110 Old Kyle Road; the permit was approved unanimously and staff noted trailers must be self‑contained and coordinate restroom access with the host business.
Nathan Glacier presented a temporary structure application from Took's Comfort Food LLC to place a food trailer at 110 Old Kyle Road. The applicant requested a six‑month permit (the city code authorizes temporary permits up to one year); staff said the truck will be self‑contained and would use restrooms in the host business while open, consistent with Hays County requirements.
Councilmembers discussed how the city currently handles individual food‑truck requests and noted the zoning code has no explicit 'food trailer court' category; staff said creating a conditional use or an administrative path for designated food trailer courts could reduce repeated one‑off council approvals. After discussion, a council member moved to approve the temporary structure application as presented and another council member seconded. The council voted unanimously to approve the permit.
The permit includes a condition that the trailer not operate when the host bar is closed (to ensure restroom access); staff said if wastewater handling changes, the city would require a grease trap and other measures.
The approval was routine and the applicant or staff will return if any code or operational issues arise.
