July 28, 2026 - If approved on first reading, City Council will consider the second reading of the request.
Project Summary:
The proposed text amendment updates Section 3.14.17 of the Unified Development Code regarding mobile food vendors. The amendment is necessary to align the City’s regulations with House Bill 2844, which transfers permitting authority for mobile food vendors to the State of Texas effective July 1, 2026.
The amendment retains the City’s zoning regulations limiting mobile food vendor operations to food truck parks and approved special events while maintaining standards related to public safety, parking, noise, and event duration. The amendment removes the requirement for a City-issued mobile food vendor permit that is no longer permitted under state law.
On June 25, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing where nobody spoke. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of 4-0-0.
