Date: May 9, 2017 Description/Title: Food Truck Operating Locations Type of Review: Text Amendment to the Zoning Code (Chapter 159) Summary: Regulations to allow food trucks were approved last September (ORD16-1315). ORD 16-1315 added language to allow food trucks in the P-B, Planned Business District and all Manufacturing Districts (M-R, M-1 and M-2) so long as they meet the standards set Village of Romeoville Page 1 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - Final May 9, 2017 forth in the ordinance. In response to the increasing demand for food trucks, the proposed revision provides for additional food truck operating locations within the B-3, Highway/Regional Shopping District. Food trucks would only be allowed in the B-3 District when it is operated in connection with an establishment that serves alcoholic beverages on-site under a Class M-1 or Class O liquor license. This applies to establishments such as a microbrewery or craft beer bottle shop that has on-premises tastings. In addition, the provisions of ORD 16-1315 requires that no food truck be operated within 300 feet to the entrance of an establishment offering food for sale or within 300 feet of any restaurant, café or eating establishment which is open for business. The 300 feet requirement may be waived if the food truck operator has obtained written consent of the food service business to operate within this minimum distance. The proposed amendment to the B-3, Highway/Reginal Shopping District, Section 159.073(B), adds the following section to the Zoning Code: (19) Food truck or food truck operator, subject to the requirements of Chapter 129 (Food Trucks and Food Truck Operators), but only when the food truck in question is operated in connection with the operation of an establishment licensed to serve alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption through a duly issued Class M-1 or Class O liquor license issued by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 112 of the Village Code of Ordinances.
