A. Characteristics. Mobile Food Cart is as any vehicle that is self-propelled or that can be pulled or pushed down a sidewalk, street, highway or waterway, on which food is prepared, processed or converted or which is used in selling and dispensing food to the ultimate consumer. Permanent site improvements may or may not be required; however, the standards and permit processes of this section are intended to ensure that mobile food unit sites are conducted as lawful uses and in a manner that is not detrimental or disruptive in terms of appearance or operation to neighboring properties, residents and pedestrians.

Food Pod: A single site that includes three (3) or more food carts.

B. Accessory Uses. Accessory uses may include site amenities, restrooms and similar features, but may not include the sale of items other than the food product produced or distributed in the mobile food cart.

C. Examples. Examples include vans, trailers, or individual units constructed for the purpose of the sale of a food product cooked, prepared, or modified in the unit.

5. Exceptions. The sale of commodities or other items not manufactured or distributed through the individual unit.
