Summary

Bensenville expanded its food-truck rules to allow them by right in certain districts and to permit food trucks in all districts with a temporary use permit subject to enhanced standards such as signage and litter control.

The board approved a zoning text amendment that expands how food trucks may operate in the village. Staff said the proposal allows food trucks by right in certain zoning districts and permits them in all districts with a temporary use permit; the amendment introduces higher standards addressing signage, litter control and pickup.

Walter told the board the CDC recommended approval after a public hearing. The ordinance passed on a roll-call vote with six trustees voting yes, and staff said food trucks will now need to obtain permits through the village when operating outside allowed-by-right districts.
