11 <br /> John Roberts asked if Commissioner Price could clarify what she means by "same <br /> standards". <br /> Commissioner Price said when one opens a restaurant; one has certain parameters <br /> one must follow. <br /> John Roberts said no, the parking requirements for a restaurant are itemized in the <br /> Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). He said a commercial site has a minimum number of <br /> parking spaces that it must maintain, and if the food truck interfered with this number, then the <br /> property owner is responsible for insuring the proper numbers of spaces are available. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier referred to bona fide farms, and asked if they could have a <br /> food truck that is their own business or a food truck to come on to the property to host an <br /> event. <br /> John Roberts said it would depend what the food truck was for, and it would be allowed <br /> for a special event, cultural, or agri-tourism event. He said the biggest restriction is that food <br /> trucks cannot be allowed on undeveloped property. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin reviewed the parking issue. He asked if he had a business that <br /> was required to have 10 parking spaces, would he need to insure that all 10 remain available if <br /> a food truck was to be on site. <br /> John Roberts asked if the example is from the point of view of the property owner or <br /> the food truck owner. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he is unclear on who is responsible. <br /> John Roberts said it is his perspective that if a business must have 10 parking spaces <br /> available, and a food truck arrives without causing major impact to the flow of business, it <br /> would be acceptable, even if 10 spaces are not technically available. He said the Planning <br /> Department may disagree with him on this point. He said it may be a problem if all the spaces <br /> are filled and the food trucks arrive to wait for an open space, thus preventing customers from <br /> having access to the business. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said that is problematic since these are the businesses spaces, <br /> and he is giving up two of them. <br /> John Roberts said it is only problematic if the issue is not resolved. He said if the <br /> property owner received a violation, it could be addressed between the property owner and the <br /> food truck owner. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said there needs to be more clarity on this issue. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs asked if there are times when notices of parking lot violations <br /> are given out. <br /> John Roberts said he is not aware of any, but if it does arise, it is usually surrounding <br /> an up fit of an existing property. <br /> Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning Director, said the square footage, use and <br /> necessary parking spaces for a building are determined during the site plan process. He said <br /> the required number of parking spots must be built, and this is checked during the final <br /> certificate of occupancy process. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs said it is unlikely that the Planning Department would be <br /> seeking to find food truck violations to cite. <br /> Craig Benedict agreed with the Attorney that disputes would be resolved between the <br /> property owner and the food truck owner. He said the County would likely only get involved if <br /> the operation of the food truck is inconsistent with the UDO. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Ashley DeSena said she agreed that the proposed time limits were a bit restrictive, but <br /> did understand the desire to be respectful of the noise ordinance. She said she did not fully <br />
