Item # 16.A.4.
ID#: 2024-767
Executive Summary
Recommendation to waive the nighttime hearing requirement and hear a Land Development Code amendment regarding
food trucks and food truck parks at two regularly scheduled daytime Board of County Commissioner meetings and
approve a request to advertise the Land Development Code Amendment.
OBJECTIVE: To waive the nighttime hearing requirement and advertise a Land Development Code (LDC) amendment
at two regularly scheduled daytime hearings.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 15, 2021, staff received a request for an Official Interpretation of the LDC regarding
whether a food truck park is an authorized use in the Commercial Convenience District (C-2), Commercial Intermediate
District (C-3), or within any commercial component of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Staff issued an Official
Interpretation (see Attachment 2) and noted that while the Commercial and Industrial zoning districts did not
specifically designate food trucks as a permitted use, the Comparable Use Determination process was established to
identify similar uses in a zoning district where a proposed, unlisted use is comparable and compatible to an existing use
or uses in the same zoning district. In the Official Interpretation, staff cited Hearing Examiner Decision No. 2016-37,
which established that food truck parks were comparable and compatible to restaurant use, and used this decision to
determine that food trucks should be allowed in all zoning districts where restaurants are permitted.
However, FCC Beach & Yacht, LLC appealed the Official Interpretation and the associated Site Development Plan that
approved a food truck park on C-3-zoned property located on the Isle of Capri. An additional appeal of the Official
Interpretation was filed by Grider Revocable Living Trust, seeking to clarify that the Official Interpretation was not site-
specific. On October 12, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) voted to accept, without comment, the four
motions filed by Grider Revocable Living Trust and to hear the three aforementioned appeals as items under the Board
of Zoning Appeals (ZBA). During the meeting, staff opined that the allowance of food truck parks was not site-specific
and should include all C-2- and C-3-zoned properties countywide. However, the BZA voted in favor of the two appeals
made by FCC Beach & Yacht, LLC and determined that a food truck park was not a permitted use in the C-3 (see
Attachment 3) and to deny the SDP (see Attachment 4). The BZA also denied the appeal by Grider Revocable Living
Trust (see Attachment 5). The BZA was concerned about the impact a food truck park would have on the surrounding
residential neighborhoods, particularly the issues of noise (outdoor amplified music) and alcohol consumption occurring
at a bar/dance stage area (entertainment), such as at Celebration Park Food Truck Park. Staff was directed to develop an
LDC amendment supporting the Conditional Use process with respect to food trucks (see Attachment 6).
On January 23, 2024, staff brought forward a consent agenda item, requesting direction from the Board to waive the
nighttime hearing requirement and to instead hold two regularly scheduled daytime hearings. The Board removed it
from the consent agenda and discussed the item, unanimously voting to waive the nighttime hearing requirement (see
Attachment 6). Additionally, the Board directed staff to add a provision to the LDC amendment requiring Board
direction on whether the Board or the HEX would hear a Food Truck Park conditional use petition and whether the
hearing would be during the day, on a case-by-case basis. The proposed provision at the time was as follows:
G. Procedures for Food Truck Parks Requiring Conditional Use Approval. Prior to advertising the Conditional Use
hearing, the Board shall first decide whether the BZA or the HEX will hear the matter and whether the hearing will be
during the day.
The first daytime public hearing occurred on February 27, 2024, when it was discussed as an advertised public hearing.
Instead of voting to approve the Ordinance, the Board directed staff to rewrite the LDC amendment, and it was the
staff's understanding that Conditional Use approval would be required for all food trucks, but that temporary use permits
would also be available to operators for up to 28 days per calendar year (see Attachment 7).
This LDC amendment proposes to change the list of permitted and conditional uses on lands that potentially can be
greater than 10 acres, and therefore, it requires two Board hearings with at least one hearing to be held after 5:00 p.m. on
a weekday, pursuant to LDC section 10.03.06 K. However, by a supermajority vote, the Board may elect to conduct the
hearing at another time of day instead. The older, original version of this LDC amendment (LDCA-PL20220006373)
was reviewed by the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) on Thursday, December 7, 2023, at 5:05 p.m. The
CCPC unanimously recommended approval, subject to the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District's recommended textual
change. There was no public opposition. It was staff's opinion that the public had an opportunity to address their
Page 2028 of 4908
concerns at this nighttime advertised hearing and that a nighttime hearing by the Board would not be necessary.
The noteworthy provisions of the proposed Ordinance (see Attachment 1) for food trucks are summarized as follows:
1. Creating new definitions, including a permanent Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle (MFDV). Permanent MFDVs
are not transient in nature and do not stop temporarily at a given location.
2. MFDVs will be permitted by right in the Industrial District (I) and Public Use District (P), provided there are no
alcohol sales and/or amplified sound providing outdoor entertainment. If there are alcohol sales and/or amplified
sound providing outdoor entertainment, then Conditional Use approval will be necessary. Conditional Use
applications require a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM) and a public hearing, typically with the Hearing
Examiner.
3. MFDVs will require Conditional Use approval in the I and P Districts if they offer alcohol sales and/or amplified
sound for outdoor entertainment.
4. MFDVs will require Conditional Use approval in the Commercial Intermediate District (C-3), General
Commercial District (C-4), Heavy Commercial District (C-5), and Business Park District (BP).
5. MFDVs will require Conditional Use approval if they are accessory to a regional park, such as North Collier
Regional Park.
6. MFDVs will require Conditional Use approval in the Conservation District (CON) if they are accessory to a
passive park, habitat preservation, conservation, or agricultural use. One such example in the CON district could be
at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
7. MFDVs are not permitted in a Planned Unit Development (PUD) unless the PUD specifically lists them as a
permissible use. Adding a use to a PUD constitutes a PUD amendment, which requires a NIM, a public hearing with
the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), and two public hearings with the Board, including a
supermajority vote for approval.
8. Creating a minimum off-street parking requirement for permanent MFDVs.
9. Creating new development standards (e.g., maximum intensity, trash receptacle, appropriate on-site locations,
hours of operation, etc.) for all permanent MFDVs, which shall be shown on a site development plan (SDP). All
MFDVs operating in connection with a temporary use permit or temporary event are exempt from this section.
While not explicitly stated within the proposed Ordinance, it should be noted that if adopted, MFDVs will be allowed in
connection with temporary use permits and special events, and these types of applications may administratively permit
MFDVs on a site for up to 28 calendar days per year, regardless of the zoning district. In addition, Florida Statutes
Section 509.102(2), which preempts local law, currently allows MFDVs to operate on the same premises as and by a
separately licensed public food establishment, regardless of zoning district.
FISCAL IMPACT: The costs associated with processing and advertising the proposed LDC amendment are estimated
at $2,016. Funds have been allocated within the Unincorporated Area General Fund (1011) and the Comprehensive
Planning Cost Center (138317).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: No growth management impact is associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and it requires an affirmative vote of
four for Board approval. -DDP
RECOMMENDATIONS: To waive the nighttime hearing requirement and hear a Land Development Code
amendment regarding mobile food dispensing vehicles at two regularly scheduled daytime hearings and approve the
request to advertise the Land Development Code amendment.

Commercial lntermediate District (C-3) The purpose and intent of the commercial
intermediate district (C-3) is to provide for a wider variety of goods and services
intended for areas expected to receive a higher degree of automobile traffic. The type
and variety of goods and services are those that provide an opportunity for comparison
shopping, have a trade area consisting of several neighborhoods, and are preferably
located at the intersection of two-arterial level streets. Most activity centers meet this
standard. This district is also intended to allow all of the uses permitted in the C-1 and
C-2 zoning districts typically aggregated in planned shopping centers. This district is
not intended to permit wholesaling type of uses, or land uses that have associated with
them the need for outdoor storage of equipment and merchandise. A mixed-use
project containing a residential component is permitted in this district subject to the
criteria established herein. The C-3 district is permitted in accordance with
the locational criteria for commercial and the goals, objectives, and policies as
identified in the future land use element of the Collier County GtVP. The
maximum density permissible in the C-3 district and the urban mixed use land use
designation shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the
future land use element of the Collier County GtUP. The maximum density permissible
or permitted in the C-3 district shall not exceed the density permissible under
the density rating system.
The following uses, as identified with a number from the Standard lndustrial

General Commercial District (C-4) The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to
provide for those types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the
same time by virtue of scale, coupled with the type of activity. The purpose and intent
of the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most diverse types of commercial
activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and recreational
attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses
permitted in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The
outside storage of merchandise and equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that
it is associated with the commercial activity conducted on-site such as, but not limited
to, automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment.
Activity centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C-4 district
because most activity centers are located at the intersection of arterial roads.
Therefore. the uses in the C-4 district can most be sustained by the transportation
network of major roads. The C-4 district is permitted in accordance with the locational
criteria for uses and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land
use element of the Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or
permitted in a district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating
system.

Conservation District 'CON". The purpose and intent of the conservation district "CON"
is to conserve, protect and maintain vital natural resource lands within unincorporated
Collier County that are owned primarily by the public. All native habitats possess
ecological and physical characteristics that justify attempts to maintain these important
natural resources. Barrier islands, coastal bays, wetlands, and habitat for listed species
deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to
perturbation. All proposals for development in the CON district must be subject to
rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or
unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values. The CON District includes such
public lands as Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida
Panther National Wildlife Refuge, portions of the Big Cypress Area of Critical State
Concern, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Collier-Seminole State Park, Rookery
Bay National Estuarine Sanctuary Research Reserve, Delnor-Wiggins State Park, and
the National Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (privately owned), and C.R.E.W. lt
is the intent of the CON District to require review of all development proposed within the
CON District to ensure that the inherent value of the County's natural resources is not
destroyed or unacceptably altered. The CON District corresponds to and implements the
conservation land use designation on the future land use map of the Collier County
GIVP.
1. Allowable uses. The following uses are allowed in the CON District.
c.Conditional uses. The following uses are permitted as conditional
uses in the CON, subject to the standards and procedures established in
LDC section 10.08.00 and further subject to: 1) submission of a plan for
development as part of the required EIS that demonstrates that wetlands,
listed species and their habitat are adequately protected; and 2)
conditions which may be imposed by the Board of County
Commissioners, as deemed appropriate, to limit the size, location, and
access to the conditional use.

Item #11C
WAIVING THE NIGHTTIME HEARING REQUIREMENT AND
HEAR A LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
REGARDING FOOD TRUCKS AND FOOD TRUCK PARKS AT
TWO REGULARLY SCHEDULED DAYTIME BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETINGS AND APPROVE A
REQUEST TO ADVERTISE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
AMENDMENT – MOTION TO APPROVE WITH
MODIFICATIONS BY COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS;
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KOWAL – APPROVED
MS. PATTERSON: Commissioners, that brings us to
Item 16A7, now Item 11C. This is a recommendation to waive the
nighttime hearing requirement and hear a Land Development Code
Page 2069 of 4908
January 23, 2024
Page 90
amendment regarding food trucks and food truck parks at two
regularly scheduled daytime Board of County Commissioners
meetings and approve a request to advertise Land Development Code
amendment.
This is being brought to the agenda at Commissioner Saunders'
request, and Mr. Mike Bosi, your Director of Planning and Zoning, is
here to answer questions or present.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, I can be very
quick. Obviously, food truck parks can have a rather significant
impact on a community. And I know that there was a public hearing
and I guess a neighborhood information meeting.
And my question is for the Board, because this can be such an
impactful type of a project, should we have at least one nighttime
hearing? I'm not a fan of nighttime hearings even though we've got
one this evening. But I'm just wondering, in terms of this particular
issue whether or not that should be given some consideration. I'm
okay with having both hearings during the day, but I wanted to at
least have a little bit of discussion as to whether we should open this
up a little bit more. So that's my question.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner LoCastro.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. Thank you,
Chairman.
I like the idea of at least testing it, you know. We're hearing
from a lot of citizens who they would like to see this meeting in the
evening, which is not realistic. You know, we get those emails all
the time. You know, we're all at work and we can't participate.
And it's like, okay, we're at work, too, and this is where our work
happens.
You know, if you remember back to the conversation of the Isles
of Capri food truck park, and then we talked a bit about Celebration
Park, I think when it comes to the food trucks, it's still a really new
Page 2070 of 4908
January 23, 2024
Page 91
and unique, you know, type of thing that we don't have our arms fully
around. So one of the things I've said generically is night, day,
evening, morning, whenever, I'm all for, you know, not squelching
citizen comment or flushing out as much back -- feedback as we can
get.
So it doesn't mean we're passing something that says from here
on out in perpetuity we'll have all nighttime meetings, but I didn't
know if there was something in the middle that showed we were
trying to be positive, and then if it didn't have a positive result, then,
okay, we tried it. And so -- I don't know. That was just my initial
thought. I might not know every single detail that you're trying to
kind of cover, but my initial thought was it doesn't hurt, and we see
what happens, but...
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah. And I agree. I mean,
if it's -- I think in this digital age that we have with hybrid
meetings -- I know we all do town halls and have them with multiple,
multiple options for folks to attend. You know, I'm not opposed to
having an evening meeting, at least one of these hearings in the
evening, but I'm -- you know, if -- on the same token, I don't really
see the need for it either. It's conducting business.
And I take -- I know myself, and I know most of us do as
well -- personally, I take emails and phone calls and comments from
people whether they're standing at the podium and wearing a red
shirt -- in the room as most important as the folks that are standing at
the podium and wearing a red shirt [sic].
So, I mean, what was your intent, Commissioner Saunders? I
mean, I think the intent was to waive the hearings, the nighttime
hearings, and hear these -- hear these food truck amendments during
the day.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, that's what the request
Page 2071 of 4908
January 23, 2024
Page 92
is of staff, and I understand it, and there was a public hearing in the
evening on this early on. But people don't really get energized over
issues until they see something in the paper or they know something's
coming up for us to vote on.
Now, this is not site specific, and so it may not generate any
interest, but if there was a food truck park, for example, going into
Isle of Capri, as an example, the one we had, there would be
tremendous interest in that because it's site specific.
So there may not even be anybody that would show up for this.
But these are very controversial, and that's just a thought.
But as I said, I have no issues with having two daytime hearings,
but I just thought it was worth a discussion on an issue like this.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: When I was reviewing this, I
was -- this is more of an adoption of the Land Development Code
criterium to -- because the way I understand it, we're going to be
hearing every single one of these. It's going to become a conditional
use when one of these proposed already existent zoning
classifications qualifies for a food truck park. That's still not going
to be a by-right process. They still have to come to us, and that
would be -- those would be the ones that I would prefer, when the
site-specific ones are coming to us, that maybe we move those to a
nighttime hearing. But this one is -- this is just Land Development
Code adjustments to facilitate those site-specific and move them
to -- my understanding is move them to a conditional-use process.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, that convinces me that
we don't need to have a night hearing on this as long as we are
flexible to having a night hearing when an application comes before
us.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm looking at him making
sure he's shaking his head positively, because I don't want to
misquote what his intent is.
Page 2072 of 4908
January 23, 2024
Page 93
MR. BOSI: And, Mike Bosi, zoning director.
As it's proposed, there's not a requirement. And the conditional
use is triggered when you have any proposed outdoor amplified
sound or alcohol being associated with these food trucks. One food
truck at a commercial center that doesn't have amplified sound or
alcohol does not require a Board approval. That could be
straight -- a Site Development Plan amendment. But it's if they have
alcohol involved or if they have alcohol and it is amplified sound,
those are the ones that require conditional uses.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, what I was looking at
was there's two things here. It's regarding food trucks and food truck
parks, and it was the food truck parks --
MR. BOSI: Parks.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: -- that's got my attention.
We certainly don't need a nighttime hearing on an application for
putting a food truck at a bazaar, at a park, or something like that.
But if we're going to develop a food truck park similar to what was
discussed on Isles of Capri, then I think something like that probably
should come back at night.
So I'll make the motion to approve waiving the nighttime
hearing for this purpose. But if we do have a food truck park -- it's
not part of the motion. But if we do have a food truck park, I think
consideration should be given to having something like that in the
evening.
MR. BOSI: And staff can modify the proposed language to put
verbiage that we will poll the Board of County Commissioners as to
whether you would like to see that conditional-use hearing moved to
a nighttime hearing.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: That would be perfect.
MR. BOSI: We can put that within the proposed ordinance.
We'll make some modifications.
Page 2073 of 4908
January 23, 2024
Page 94
Just to let you know, we did have a nighttime hearing with the
Planning Commission on the 7th of December. There were no
public who attended. And I think you're right, unless it's a
site-specific location, it's hard to get the public to get excited about
the proposal of an LDC amendment.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So I'll make that motion to
approve this with the understanding that if there is a food truck park,
that the Board will be presented with the opportunity to have a night
hearing if the Board so chooses at that time.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Second.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner Kowal.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Thank you, Chair.
Yeah, I mean, I was on the same lines with Commissioner
McDaniel on the way I looked at this. And now Mr. Bosi's kind of
confirmed it, that, you know, if it's specific and we're looking at a
particular park and somebody wants to develop -- designate their
food trucks -- and, I mean, you could see we've already exercised our
time-certain. We're going to do that today at 5 o'clock.
And I think, you know, we get the temperature of our
constituents on a particular item like this, if there is a food truck, that
we're going to hear it, and, you know, a park, we're going to hear it in
the future regardless, that, you know, we can always exercise the
time-certain, you know, and not have to create a whole, you know,
nother ordinance or something just on those lines. So I feel
comfortable with the motion the way it is, so I'll second it.
CHAIRMAN HALL: So just to follow up my comments, you
know, I don't want to get into the habit of every hot issue that comes
up that we need to feel obligated to do it in the evening meeting.
I know, like Commissioner McDaniel, I've got the best interest
of my constituents. It may not be what I personally want to do, but
I'm going to back them. That's what they elected me to do.
Page 2074 of 4908
January 23, 2024
Page 95
And whether they're in the room at 7 o'clock at night or whether
they're -- they've made their emails plain, their phone calls plain, I
don't take any -- no one's more important here than they are on my
email. And I want to say that because I don't mind doing -- I'm not
a -- let's see. I'm not opposed to making the extra effort, but I don't
want to get into the habit of feeling like we need to pacify people that
just can make it in the evenings when they have every ample
opportunity to let us know and to communicate in times advanced.
So with that comment, we have a motion and we have a second
to waive this. All in favor?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Aye.
MS. PATTERSON: Commissioners, that is the end of our
regular agenda items except for public comment on general topics not
on the current or future agenda that weren't addressed previously. It
may be something -- do we have one now?
MR. MILLER: Well, that's just it. I have a Zoom person that
was mislabeled. Actually, we probably should have heard them at 7.
With your indulgence, can we hear them now?
CHAIRMAN HALL: Yes.
MR. MILLER: Jackie Keay is joining us on Zoom.
Jackie, you're being prompted to unmute yourself. I know
you're there, Jackie. There you go. You have three minutes.
MS. KEAY: Can you hear me?
MR. MILLER: Yes, we can.
MS. KEAY: Oh, I'm here for sure.
MR. MILLER: Go ahead, Jackie.
MS. KEAY: So good afternoon. My name is Jackie Keay. I

on public speaking this morning, we're going to love to hear
everything you have to say in three minutes. That little yellow light
will go off about the two minute and 30-second mark, and 30 seconds
later, the red light goes off. And when the red light goes off, the
plane lands. So I'll appreciate you remembering that.
And also, this is not emotional for us, so if you're agreeing with
the public speakers, just agree silently. Keep the clapping -- we
don't want to hear the clapping. We don't want to hear the negative
comments if you disagree. This is a professional meeting, and we're
going to run it that way.
So with that in mind, we'd like to welcome Pastor Grant
Thigpen to open us up in prayer.

Item #9D
ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COLLIER COUNTY LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ESTABLISH PROVISIONS FOR
FOOD TRUCK PARKS AND MOBILE FOOD DISPENSING
VEHICLES. [PL20220006373] (FIRST OF TWO HEARINGS)
ALL DISTRICTS) - DIRECTION FOR STAFF TO BRING BACK
A REPORT AT A FUTURE BCC MEETING
MS. PATTERSON: Commissioners, that brings us to Item
17C, now Item 9D. This is a recommendation to adopt an ordinance
Page 2094 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 140
amending the Collier County Land Development Code to establish
provisions for food truck parks and mobile food dispensing vehicles.
This is being moved to the regular agenda by each commissioner's
separate request, and Mr. Bosi is here to present.
MR. BOSI: Good afternoon. Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning
director.
Before you today we have the proposed LDC amendments
related to how the county will handle food truck and food truck parks
moving forward.
We had a recommendation, some modifications that were
provided by the DSAC, a recommendation of approval and site
modifications related to fire lanes that came from the Planning
Commission.
We had no public opposition to the proposal, and we placed it
on your summary agenda.
A couple days ago, Mr. Yovanovich and Mr. Wayne Arnold
submitted some material asking for some changes to the -- to the
proposed ordinance and want to provide the Board the opportunity to
weigh in on those proposed changes to get some direction.
The way that we've had it proposed, right now in the C-2 -- C-3,
C-4, and C-5 zoning district, if the Board -- if the food truck did not
contain alcohol sales and amplified sound permit, it would be a
permitted use. If it contained alcohol and/or the amplified sound, it
would be a conditional use. It's been suggested by Mr. Yovanovich
that that -- in the C-3, C-4, and C-5, that all of them should be
proposed as conditional uses to provide for an extra layer of
protection an extra analysis of compatibility to make sure that
nothing will crop up from the development of these food trucks.
We also have a provision that within the C-1, C-2, or C-3
categories -- or, I'm sorry, C-3, C-4, or C-5 categories, that two or
less trucks could go in as a matter of right, not as a food truck, but
Page 2095 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 141
just as stand-alone trucks as well. Not sure if the Board of County
Commissioners had any issue with that, but I don't think that has been
addressed by Mr. Yovanovich's letter. I wanted to see what the
appetite of the Board of County Commissioners was regarding those
individual changes.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Say that again. So two trucks could go
in by right?
MR. BOSI: Two trucks or less could go in by right within the
C-3, C-4, or C-5 zoning district as an accessory use to the primary
use on the property.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner LoCastro.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank you, Chair.
I actually sent a note immediately to Ms. Patterson to pull this,
and I'm glad to see the other commissioners thought so. I hadn't
seen Mr. Yovanovich's letter yet, but then when I saw it, there
was -- most of what was in the letter I agreed with, and it made me
think back to the last time we talked about food trucks and what we
all sort of collectively said, which was, we want to have closer
oversight that a food truck park, whether it's two trucks or five trucks
or eight trucks, they're all a bit different.
I remember us talking about we don't really have our hands
around, you know, what a food truck park could turn into, and we
referenced Celebration Park. I always say the people that love
Celebration Park are usually the people that don't live near it.
And so I didn't want -- I didn't want to see anything on the
summary agenda that made looser approval of food truck parks.
And I don't think 10 of them are going to come to us every meeting.
And maybe in a year, we could write something that maybe -- once
we get a little bit more knowledge and we feel more comfortable that
we haven't just let these things plop around.
And when I met with the staff hearing that there are single food
Page 2096 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 142
trucks all over one particular district which, you know, I won't name
here, but that commissioner probably knows that have popped up
with minimal to no approvals, but, you know, they're kind of in an
okay spot and it's not a big deal, and that's not the way the county
should work.
So to me, if it's -- you know, if we want to have something that
allows one truck, there should be some verbiage. To me, two trucks
or more is a park, or could be. And then when we spoke, you know,
privately in my office, you know, Mr. Bosi and, you know,
Mr. French and Ms. Scott were there. You know, my concern is
these things -- you know, two food trucks park in a parking lot seems
like no big deal, but then somebody has a birthday party there, you
know, on a Friday night, and so then they hire a band, and then we
get a million e-mails that the noise is too much even though, you
know, it's written in there, no music, no nothing.
And so my thought was these things are still pretty fresh. I
don't think we -- you know, we -- it costs us too much to have these
things be vetted a little bit until we really get a better feel for it. And
then I also think the ones that were brought to my attention that are
just sort of parking outside of restaurants and sitting there until
somebody says something, we need to take a look at those because
when we send a signal to the restaurateurs that, hey, Bob parked his
food truck there, it's been there for six months, and nobody said
anything; that's how these things pop up, and then they start to grow.
You know, you talk to citizens around Celebration Park; they never
thought it would turn into what some people tell me, and I agree, is
sort of like an outdoor Seed to Table.
And I'm not saying they're breaking any laws or anything, but,
boy, we sure do get a lot of pushback. And then we even hear from
our own staff when we had this conversation before about food trucks
that, wow, it sort of got -- it got bigger than what we kind of thought
Page 2097 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 143
it would be.
So I pulled it just because I wanted to have a discussion and
maybe that -- and, you know, I said this to you, Mr. Bosi, I'm
not -- my position isn't to be directive to you and say, here's what it
should say, but I'd like -- I'd feel a lot better if the staff took a look at
it a little bit deeper and came back with more detailed verbiage that
would give us better oversight for any of these requests that we're
sort of bigger than a breadbox, and I think it's most of them. And it's
not a big number.
So I remember one time, a commissioner that used to sit here,
Commissioner Solis, one time he said at a meeting -- I don't even
know if I was elected -- and he says, I don't want to be approving a
food truck park, you know, in every single meeting, you know. We
should leave that to the staff. We're not going to get that many.
But I think -- I'll just speak for my district, District 1, I'd like to
have tighter oversight so I know where they're going. I want to
make sure the constituents are pleased with it, and that they're not
just -- I'm not going to just drive by one day and go, wow, where did
that come from, and then find out from the staff, oh, remember when
you thinned out the rules? Well, they're not in violation of anything.
It's okay. So that's why I pulled it.
Seeing other names of commissioners there, I'd love to hear
from the other commissioners. Maybe they pulled it for a different
reason. But I pulled it because I really wanted something more
detailed to come back from the staff that would give us more
oversight and visibility and tighter control and approval. I'm not
saying, you know, we shoot down every food truck park, but that was
my reasoning, so...
CHAIRMAN HALL: So before I go to Commissioner
McDaniel, and then Commissioner Kowal's on deck, in staff
meetings yesterday, you explained it very well about, you know, the
Page 2098 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 144
taco truck and when it just shows up and then when a permit's
required and then versus the continued use or by right.
MR. BOSI: And we have a provision towards where if it's a
food truck park just parking at an establishment for four hours or less,
there's no permit that would be required. If there's -- the second
stage above that is the accessory food truck -- food truck that's at an
establishment that permits food truck parks. Those can be permitted
through a Site Development Plan improvement or Site Development
Plan insubstantial change for one or two food trucks, and it sounds
like there is some concern --
CHAIRMAN HALL: How long? How long would that permit
last?
MR. BOSI: Permanently.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Permanently.
MR. BOSI: Permanently. And then the third tier is your food
truck park, and those are the ones that we're proposing in C-3, C-4,
and C-5. Like I said, we had a differential. If you had amplified
music and alcohol sales, that's a conditional use. If you had just -- if
those weren't present, they could be permitted.
It sounds like, at least from -- one commissioner would agree
with Mr. Yovanovich, would like to see all of those food truck parks
be placed as a conditional use for the Board of County
Commissioners to evaluate whether it's an appropriate use or not?
CHAIRMAN HALL: Yes.
Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: One other one would, too.
I -- and I also -- I want to be very careful and distinguish between
permittable uses and illegal uses. The abuse that happens with food
trucks at large is rampant. We've got a commercial -- we've got a lot
of -- and, you know, we just had a discussion about neighbors and
where the comma is, and what the proper -- what the proper adjective
Page 2099 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 145
was, but neighborhood commercial is different than C-3, C-4, C-5,
but that doesn't mean that a C-4 -- C-3, C-4, C-5 isn't in a
neighborhood.
And we have people -- I have people taking advantage of that.
They park a food truck in their parking lot, theoretically by right, and
then start consuming parking spaces that are available for a restaurant
and then push the parking for other commercial properties that are in
close proximity away and start taking up -- taking advantage of other
people's property rights for the utilization of their own property by
consuming land that's over here because they haven't necessarily
done what they needed to do with a proper SDP.
And I think we're not going to get overwhelmed with these
things, and if we do, we can make a change at some particular stage.
But I would -- individually, this is very -- to me this is, they have the
right to ask, but we need to see what those impacts are on the nearby
surrounding area to be able to make a determination and put
limitations on noise and alcohol and parking and so on and so forth.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner Kowal.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Thank you, Chair.
I definitely know the difference between the roach coach and a
mobile one. They show up at the worksites at lunchtime and, you
know, you get a hot meal, if you can. And I don't have a problem
with that. You know, they're mobile.
And then it comes down again mobile versus nonmobile. I
mean, we have mobile homes that have been on blocks for 40 years.
They're still called a mobile home.
And sometimes these food trucks find a home in a parking lot
somewhere, and they're not truly mobile. You know, they're there
permanently. And I know the -- I just want to get more insight;
maybe you can help me.
Is the -- let's say Commissioner Saunders' district, for instance,
Page 2100 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 146
I'm familiar with, you know, the tiki hut that serves the beer and the
wine in the parking lot, you know, in the evening hours. That being
a parking lot, being a C-3, I think it is, or whatever that particular
plaza is, they would be able to have a food truck come, set up there
the way it's written now. But who would watch to make sure they
don't get a temporary amplified sound permit for one night or
something like that?
Because then it would kind of circumvent the process of saying,
well, these are just allowed because they're not going to have
amplified sound and not alcohol, but they are catering to a business
that serves alcohol and that because they don't provide food. So
what safeguard do we have that this is [sic] going to -- a reoccurring
thing in a property that's very close to residential property, like in
Commissioner Saunders' district?
MR. JOHNSON: Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Eric Johnson, for the record, planning manager.
So I think what you're asking about are mobile food dispensing
vehicles that are accessory to an already established principal use.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Yes.
MR. JOHNSON: And if -- so one or two wanted to come in,
they wouldn't -- there are some standards that are proposed right now,
and if they wanted to sell alcohol or have --
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: That's not what I said.
MR. JOHNSON: Oh, sorry.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: They don't sell alcohol, they
don't have amplified sound, but the business that doesn't provide food
does serve alcohol. Like I use that example is that tiki hut which
doesn't have a restaurant connected to it. It just has a beer and wine
license in a parking lot, but then they want food service through a
food truck, and then they get an amplified sound permit for the one
evening every Friday, temporary, how do we control that?
Page 2101 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 147
MR. JOHNSON: Well, the principal use would be allowed to
continue to sell their alcohol as they normally would. The accessory
use, mobile dispensing vehicle, would be allowed there by right as
long as they're not having any amplified sound associated with
outdoor entertainment or selling alcohol from that particular unit;
however, I think --
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: So we would have a provision in
there to say, well, are you a food truck, and you're asking for a
temporary sound permit, and we'd deny them?
MR. JOHNSON: If they're a food truck and they want to have
amplified sound associated with outdoor entertainment --
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Temporary. Because people
can do that, even for your home.
MR. JOHNSON: We would consider --
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: If you throw a party, you have to
get a permit for a temporary amplified sound permit.
MR. JOHNSON: We would consider temporary to be
something that would require a comparable-use determination. That
would go to the Hearing Examiner.
We also have a temporary-use permit that allows these mobile
food dispensing vehicles to be at a particular site for no more than 28
days within a calendar year. There's also exceptions where the
Board of County Commissioners would be able to have -- under
certain circumstances to be able to increase the number of days
beyond that 28 days. I don't know if I answered your question.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: I think it was just more on the
grounds of are we going to be able to have the ability to supervise
this in a way that they're not getting this temporary sound permit
even though they're a food truck, and they're telling you they don't
serve alcohol and they don't have sound, but they're obtaining it for
that particular evening, you know, because it's a Friday night, and
Page 2102 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 148
they're entertaining. So that's what I'm -- I guess that's where I'm
going at with it.
MR. JOHNSON: The language right now just has it where, if
they want to have it for one day or more, that would require a
comparable-use determination, but we could --
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Okay. That kind of answered
my question.
MR. JOHNSON: Which would go to the Hearing Examiner.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Okay.
MR. JOHNSON: Now, we could structure it so that if they
want to apply for a temporary-use permit for a day or two days or
under -- you know, within the constraints of that, that could also be a
means to accomplish that. It depends on what you want. The way
we have it structured --
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: What I'm trying to do is -- you're
saying it's by right because they don't have music and they don't serve
alcohol.
MR. JOHNSON: Yes.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: But if they circumvent the
system by running down and getting a temporary permit for a Friday
or Saturday night, now they basically pulled one over you on, and
they are having amplified music, and they're by right there. That's
all I'm trying to say. Is there any way or mechanism we're going to
have in place that this won't happen?
MR. JOHNSON: We would want to -- if they were going to
have it just one day or more, that would be a comparable-use
determination.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Okay.
MR. JOHNSON: That's even above and beyond the
temporary-use permit. That's a public hearing.
COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Okay.
Page 2103 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 149
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Henceforth, conditional use,
whether it's one or 10 or two.
I mean, the second -- the second circumstance that's becoming
very prevalent as well is containers, shipping containers. They're
wrapping them and then dumping them -- dropping them off and
calling them food trucks.
We had -- I think over in Immokalee, I have -- now, those aren't
legally permitted, but that's what they're doing is they're calling them
food trucks and dumping them -- putting them on commercially
zoned vacant lots.
Now, they don't have permits. They're not legal. And that's
the difference -- distinguishment between the two.
But the concern I have is I just don't -- I just don't want to do a
by-right conversion of commercial to an entirely separate use
without -- without having -- without having the capacity to say no.
If we do that by right, it happens.
MR. JOHNSON: Understood. And we could structure it so
that any instance of these things would require a conditional-use
approval.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's a simple answer for
me.
MR. BOSI: And what I would say is we do have a provision
for a temporary-use permit where we issued the -- at a variety of
special events, temporary use for food trucks, but those were only
limited to 28 days, and they have to be -- you know, there's a tight
window towards where they could -- you know, could operate.
So what I'm hearing from the Board of County Commissioners,
bring you something back that any proposed food truck would require
a conditional use. And I'm also -- what I'm hearing, do you want
that to go to the HEX with the discretion of the Board of County
Page 2104 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 150
Commissioners, or do you want that just to come to the Board of
County Commissioners?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: In my personal opinion, it
can go to the HEX. We have the right, if one gets approved by the
HEX that there is issues with, we could always pull it and appeal that
decision. I mean, it certainly would streamline the process to allow
it to go to the HEX. We've already determined that we all have the
right to appeal that decision and/or that process even in midstream.
I'm okay with it going to the HEX.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner LoCastro.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank you, Chairman.
I'm okay with it going to the HEX as well because, I mean, as
involved commissioners, you have to monitor what's going to the
HEX, if it's something like a food truck. And, I mean, I had one in
my district that got approved by the HEX, and then I was like, no, not
so fast, and then I brought it back here. So I'm good with that.
What I would just like to see -- and I don't know if this is a
motion, direction, or I've even got support from my fellow
commissioners here. I would like to see what you just said,
Mr. Bosi, is take what we've said up here, and I'd like to just see
better verbiage.
The reason I pulled this, I just didn't like the verbiage. It
seemed very thin and loose, and last we talked about food trucks, we
wanted to -- not tighter control, but better oversight. And what I
read that was in the agenda, it seemed -- and then I saw
Mr. Yovanovich's letter, and I thought, yeah, that's kind of what I was
just thinking. He just said it better.
And so I would just like to see something come back to us and
then see if we all agree. But, you know, I think most people up here,
you know, want to have better oversight of the food trucks, and we're
already hearing that some people are already circumventing the
Page 2105 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 151
system. Bring us some verbiage that allows that to not happen as
much so that we can do something about it.
And like I said in my office is, you said maybe -- it was
Mr. Bosi -- you were, like, there's more than a few people
circumventing it. Well, then let's get some verbiage in there so that,
you know, then our code enforcement folks can do something about it
and maybe are supported a little bit more possibly.
MR. BOSI: Well -- and I understand, and we'll bring that back.
What I will say is any of those food trucks that haven't been
permitted on a temporary basis or if they've been there permanent and
they haven't gone through the process, those are illegal. Those aren't
endorsed by this code.
So, you know, if a code enforcement officer is alerted towards it,
you know, we can most certainly take action.
But we will come back with a process that requires -- a
conditional-use process for all food truck -- food trucks, whether food
truck or food truck parks. We also allow for the temporary-use
permit for that 28 days. But we'll bring it back based upon the
contours of what you guys would like and see if we met the mark
with that.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: That's what I was looking
for.
CHAIRMAN HALL: That's fine with me. Do we need a
motion or --
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Do we need a motion for
that, or we just give direction?
MR. KLATZKOW: Direction's fine.
CHAIRMAN HALL: That's perfect.
MR. BOSI: Thank you.
MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, I do have two registered speakers.
Richard Yovanovich and Wayne Arnold.
Page 2106 of 4908
February 27, 2024
Page 152
MR. YOVANOVICH: If it's okay, I'll waive.
CHAIRMAN HALL: All right.
MR. ARNOLD: Same here; I'll waive.
CHAIRMAN HALL: Thank you, gentlemen.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Was there a rumble out in the
parking lot? Mr. Bosi's got his jacket off. Did something happen
during lunch, you know? Did something happen?
CHAIRMAN HALL: Mr. Yovanovich may want to hear again
where you said that he said it better.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Well, I didn't really mean
that. He said it different. As Commissioner McDaniel always says,
I'm going to say it different.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Same thing but different.
COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Same thing but different.
CHAIRMAN HALL: What's next, Ms. Patterson?
