Committee directs solicitor to draft food-truck ordinance after debate on hand carts, locations and limits
Summary
The parking committee asked the solicitor to prepare (but not advertise) a food-truck ordinance modeled on another town’s rules; members debated allowing hand carts, limiting trucks per block (proposed three), distance from brick-and-mortar restaurants, and university-owned right-of-way issues.
Ramsey presented a redlined draft food-truck ordinance and asked for committee feedback before bringing a cleaned version to council. The draft would regulate mobile food-service vehicles, require operable units, address generator and propane safety, and limit locations to specified areas (currently Church Street and university-adjacent zones).
