Vestal board adopts 12-month moratorium on food truck courts
Summary
The Vestal Town Board voted to enact a 12-month moratorium on food truck courts to give staff time to draft regulations; board members moved and seconded the resolution and the ayes carried. Public commenters offered opposing views on the moratorium’s necessity and duration.
The Vestal Town Board on Thursday adopted a 12-month moratorium on food truck courts to allow time for the town to draft regulations governing permanent multi-trailer food venues. The chair brought the resolution forward after a public hearing, a motion to declare the proposal a Type 2 action was made and seconded, and the board then voted to impose the moratorium.
The board’s action followed public comment both for and against the pause. Chair (speaker 1) said the moratorium will allow the town to "consider all the facts of this situation and every situation that could be proposed like it." Board member Matt (speaker 6) moved the motion and Glenn (speaker 2) seconded. The motion was approved by voice vote; the transcript records the ayes and no individual roll-call tally in the record. The board also noted it will consider the feedback from the hearing when drafting the new local law.
