ITEM SUMMARY:
A local religious organization contacted the City to seek a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to allow
them to fulfill their mission of providing nutritious foods, focusing on people who live in “food deserts”,
and delivering healthy foods to those who find it otherwise challenging to shop at a grocery store.
Staff supports the initiative, as the City’s current Zoning Ordinance deals only with for-profit food
trucks and limits their services to single properties inside the M-1 Manufacturing District.
Staff's draft differentiates the proposed use from traditional food truck vendors. The proposal limits
the activity to charitable organizations and religious institutions. These organizations must provide the
City with proof of their not-for-profit status and provide a statement indicating that supplying nutritious
foods to those unable to obtain them easily is part of their mission. These vehicles would be able to
provide food and services in residential districts and elsewhere as may be predetermined.
At their July 7 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously in support of the Text
Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Sec. 6.27.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
On July 12, 2021, members of the Development Committee voted unanimously (7-0) in favor of
recommending the Text Amendment to Sec. 6.27 of the Zoning Ordinance.
