Plain City extends moratorium on mobile food vendors while ordinance advances
Summary
Staff asked council to extend a moratorium on mobile food vendors operating on private property while an ordinance proceeds through two readings; council supported waiving the 30‑day tail and declared an emergency to extend the moratorium immediately.
Staff (S2) told the council that a moratorium on mobile food vendors—limited to activity on private property—was put in place at the December meeting and that the village currently lacks a regulatory framework for such vendors. An ordinance to regulate mobile vendors is scheduled for public hearing and first reading on April 14, with a second reading on April 28. Staff requested an extension of the moratorium to remain in effect until the ordinance becomes law.
Council members supported expediting the ordinance so vendor activity can proceed under clear local rules for private property. The council later read ordinance 11‑2025 extending the moratorium, waived the second reading and declared an emergency so the extension took effect immediately. Staff noted there are three permit requests received this week that cannot be issued until the ordinance is adopted.
