12 1 John Roberts said yes. 2 Commissioner Rich asked if permission is received then why would parking be an issue. 3 John Roberts said he does not see this as an overall problem, and he said hopefully the 4 two entities, vendor and property owner, would have worked out parking issues beforehand. 5 Commissioner Rich agreed. She said she does have a problem with the 9:00 p.m. 6 stopping time and would like to have a conversation about changing this time. 7 Commissioner Pelissier said she is not concerned about the 9:00 p.m. time limit, since it 8 says it is only enforceable within 200 feet of a residence. She said she imagines that most 9 food trucks will not be within this distance of a residence, unlike in municipalities where 10 commerce and residences are more closely located. She said she would be willing to extend 11 the time somewhat, but not too much later. 12 Commissioner Dorosin referred to the section about permits and said it was his 13 understanding that permits would not be required. 14 John Roberts said that is correct. 15 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the section pertaining to permits could be clarified. 16 John Roberts said that referred to the health grade cards that a food truck must get from 17 the Health Department, post and make available for inspection. 18 Commissioner Dorosin referred to the question of time limits, and asked if other 19 ordinances contained any distance requirements pertaining to residential properties or other 20 prohibitions to food truck operations on residential property. 21 Commissioner Rich said the other ordinances that she reviewed did not have such 22 restrictions. 23 Commissioner Dorosin said he would like to see a map showing the commercial areas 24 in the County and where this ordinance would allow food trucks to operate. He said the 25 question of time limits may be a moot point, as commercial areas may be few and far between. 26 Commissioner Price said that is why she asked the earlier question about food trucks on 27 Orange County property within the Town of Hillsborough at a later hour. 28 Commissioner Pelissier said it is not the commercial properties that are an issue, but 29 rather the farms in Orange County which are numerous and some may be within the limit of 30 residential properties. 31 Chair McKee asked if the nodes around intersections are considered commercial. 32 John Roberts said yes. 33 Commissioner Rich said she is still concerned about the 9:00 p.m. time limit, and she 34 would support moving it to midnight. 35 36 A motion was made by Commissioner Rich seconded by Commissioner Dorosin for the 37 Board to adopt the mobile food vending business provisions into the Orange County Code of 38 Ordinances, and change the operation time from 8:00 a.m-12:00 a.m., authorize the Chair to 39 sign the attached Resolution of Adoption, and authorize the County Attorney to make any minor 40 non-substantive changes or corrections that may be necessary prior to submission of the 41 amendment to Municode. 42 43 Commissioner Jacobs said he would support the motion, if the ending time is 10:00 p.m. 44 Chair McKee said he would also support the 10:00 p.m. time frame. 45 Commissioner Rich asked if the time limit could be extended at a later date, if there was 46 public demand to do so. 47 John Roberts said the ordinance would need to be amended, which would be a 48 straightforward process. 49 Commissioner Dorosin suggested the option of keeping the time limit at midnight, but 50 increasing the length of the residential limits.
