Commission approves conditional‑use permit for mobile food trailer behind Calvary Church
Summary
The commission granted a conditional‑use permit for a takeout barbecue trailer at 707 Meacham Drive with conditions on hours (Wed–Sat 7 a.m.–7 p.m.), power and waste disposal; the vendor said the trailer will also be available for disaster feeding.
The Planning Commission approved a conditional‑use permit for a mobile food trailer to operate behind Calvary Church at 707 Meacham Drive, subject to staff‑recommended conditions and hours of operation set at Wednesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Applicant Sheila Long said the trailer will offer takeout barbecue (brisket, ribs) using a pellet smoker to limit smoke. Church representatives confirmed permission to use the church restrooms and a nearby covered area that has electricity; one church staffer said the church and nearby businesses have co‑operated for community meals in the past and had provided written or email permission for parking use.
Commissioners asked about fire‑safety compliance and smoke controls; the applicant said the pellet smoker had been inspected and approved, and the fire marshal had been consulted. Commissioners also discussed waste disposal (the applicant identified a dump site and access to dumpsters on the property) and whether generator use would be allowed. Staff recommended and the applicant agreed to rely on hardwired power at the site so that external generators are not used.
The commission moved and seconded approval with the six staff conditions listed in the packet and the hours of operation set in the motion; the motion passed by roll call.
