Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project PILOT PROJECT OVERVIEW
EFFECTIVE UNTIL JUNE 30, 2014
The City of Champaign Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project allows vendors to operate at select locations in Downtown and Campustown on City right-of-way. The goal of the pilot project is to enhance the vibrancy and appeal of Downtown and Campustown by allowing mobile food vending opportunities. The Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project identi es seven locations where trucks are permitted. Each location identi ed has a four hour, per sales activity, limit of stay; and some locations have time of day restrictions. Below are the requirements of the pilot project and attached are the maps identifying where mobile food vending will be permitted.
Mobile Food Truck de ned:
A mobile food truck is a self-contained food service operation, located in a readily movable motorized wheeled or towed vehicle, used to store, prepare, display or serve food intended for individual portion service.
PROGRAM PROVISIONS
Mobile food truck operators are encouraged to participate in the pilot project. Below are the provisions and requirements of the program: The Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project is now e ective from June 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 The program is only available for mobile food trucks as de ned above. Push carts, food stands and other methods for selling food without use of a motorized wheeled, or a towed vehicle are not eligible. Vendors must obtain a peddlers license from the City of Champaign Clerk. Once a license is issued, the license must be placed in the vehicle and be visible to the public. A license may be obtained just for the duration of the pilot project, if desired, for a at fee of $50 plus a $25 application fee. If at the end of the pilot project the vendor desires to extend the peddlers license to be an annual one, the application fee will be waived but a new annual fee will be charged. Obtaining a license requires proof of insurance and bonding for the use of the right-of-way Vendors must obtain a permit from the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (see www.cuphd.org), which must also be placed in the vehicle and be visible to the public. Unless the current license regulations are revised during the pilot project period, the provisions will revert to the current regulations July 1, 2014 which prohibit sales from parking meters or other public right-of-way unless expeditiously selling, or otherwise authorized by the City Code. Noise from the mobile food trucks, including but not limited to generators, shall not exceed 75 decibels as measured from 10 feet away.

Mobile food trucks may remain at one location for no more than four hours at a time on a rst come available space basis. In the Neil and Washington parking lot in Downtown, availability is subject to parking spaces being open in the area identi ed on the attached map. Mobile food trucks are expected to pay meter rates at any meters being occupied by the trucks including any patron service area or overhang. No service area from any mobile food truck is permitted to block, obstruct, or interfere with vehicular tra c ow. The intent of mobile food trucks is to allow for walk-up sales to pedestrians.

One “sandwich board” style sign is permitted to be place on the sidewalk near the mobile food truck.Parking of other vehicles in the designated areas is also prohibited. Mobile food truck vendors are responsible for removing, or providing receptacles for the removal of, all garbage and other items from a space upon leaving. Vendors are responsible for collecting all trash and other debris accumulating within one hundred (100) feet of any sales location. It is recognized there may be times when delivery vehicles intend to use a loading zone while a mobile food truck is currently operating. To best avoid con icts, vendors shall establish their truck in an area of the zone that allows the most room for a delivery vehicle. The City of Champaign reserves the right to revoke any issued license for the Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project for non-compliance with the provisions above. The City of Champaign also reserves the right to change the provisions of the Mobile Food Truck Pilot Project for safety concerns to the public or if the presence of mobile food trucks in the loading zones presents problems for loading or tra c ow in general.
