A. No person shall conduct the business of mobile food service within the city unless said person has first obtained a mobile food service permit from the city for each location within the city at which the business of mobile food service is to be conducted. The fee for a mobile food service permit shall be established by resolution of the city council.

B. Every applicant for a mobile food service permit shall submit a completed application to the city administrator or the city administrator’s designee. Said application shall be accompanied by the permit fee and shall contain the following information:

1. Name and address of the applicant;

2. A written description of the nature of the mobile food service to be conducted by the applicant, including the type of food or beverages to be served;

3. A valid copy of the sales tax license issued by the city;

4. A description of the cart or other vending device from which food or beverages are to be served;

5. A plot plan showing the proposed location of the mobile food service in relation to the city rights-of-way and the travelled portions in any city street or sidewalk;

6. A statement indicating the distance of the proposed mobile food service location from the nearest occupied dwelling and public or private school property;

7. Evidence of compliance with any regulations of the Department of Health; and

8. In the event the mobile food service is to be conducted on private property, the application shall be accompanied by a written statement signed by the owner of said

property granting the operator of the proposed mobile food service at the right to conduct business on said property.

C. Before issuing a mobile food service permit, the city administrator or the city administrator’s designee shall first determine whether the vending device to be used complies with the design standards established by the city and whether the proposed location of the mobile food service is compatible with the public interest in the use of the public right-of-way. In making the determination as to compatibility with the use of the public right-of-way, the city administrator or the city administrator’s designee shall consider the width of the sidewalk or right-of-way at or adjacent to the proposed mobile food service location, the location of adjacent buildings, the availability of adequate parking areas, the proximity of loading zones or the presence of other characteristics which may result in obstruction of the sidewalk or right-of-way or in pedestrian or street congestion.

D. The mobile food service permit shall be valid for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance. In the event a mobile food service operator wishes to renew the permit, he or she shall first submit to the city an application updating all information contained in the initial application, along with the annual permit fee.

E. Each permit shall be valid for not more than one location.

F. A person to whom a mobile food service permit has been issued shall pick up and remove any paper, cardboard, wood or plastic containers, wrappers or any similar litter which is deposited by any person within twenty-five feet of the approved location designated on the permit; and the permittee shall carry a suitable container for the placement of such litter by customers or other persons.
