We have learned that next Wednesday, February 12, a council committee will discuss new regulations governing food trucks in San Diego.
The proposed regulations would basically ban food trucks from operating in the Gaslamp, Little Italy, and parts of OB, PB, Mission Beach, La Jolla, Mission Bay, Torrey Pines, and UCSD, SDSU, and USD. This will affect both gourmet trucks and traditional route trucks.
Major items of concern from the current draft regulations:
- Hours of operation will be limited to 6am-10pm Sun-Thurs, and 6am-11pm on Fri-Sat, and trucks must stay at least 500 feet from any dwelling unit.
- Commercial properties looking to host a food truck will be required to obtain a $500–$1,000 permit for each location (the burden of this permit will likely fall on the food truck owner).
- Private catering is limited to one event per week at any office, or one event per month at any residence.
Food truck owner Christian Murcia said, “[The proposed ordinance] is anti-competitive and discriminatory to enforce rules on food trucks that do not apply to other businesses in adjacent areas…Other rules already regulate concerns related to public safety; this does not do anything to further it.” source
Many groups are lobbying against food trucks in these issues (property owners, restaurant association, BID’s, and restaurant owners). All of these groups have a lot of pull with the city, so the best chance for success is having the community show their support.
The proposed food truck regulations will be up for vote to head to City Council in March. This is basically the last meeting for any changes to be made to the drafted food truck laws.
How Can You Help?
Attend the Meeting. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend to show their support. Here are the meeting details:
