The Fountain Hills Town Council has approved a pair of amendments to the Town Code establishing rules for mobile food vendors to operate within the town and how they can locate in parks.
“With the increased popularity of the use and some conflicts which have been experienced with regard to mobile food vendors and special events, staff felt it was time to prepare and recommend an ordinance to specifically regulate this use,” Development Services Director John Wesley said in his report to the council.
The basic rules include requiring a state license, a fire inspection and proof of insurance. In the case of special events the organizer will be responsible for verifying the requirements of the ordinance. In the case of normal operations, the town will verify the requirements in issuing a business license.
