Point. File No. ZC-21003. Approval Criteria: CPMC 17.10, Zoning Text
Amendments
Chair Tom Van Voorhees read the rules for a quasi-judicial hearing. The
commissioners had no conflict of interest or bias to disclose.
Community Planner Justin Gindlesperger presented to the commission the Mobil
Food Vendors CPMC 5.44 and Title 17 text amendments. The primary issue in
considering the amendments for mobile food businesses is to establish clear
standards for expanded use of mobile food businesses that are consistent with
statewide planning goals and the Central Point Comprehensive Plan.
There was a Question regarding the application process for the POD is a conditional
use permit, would adding a second truck to a lot would be considered a POD and
would this need to go to the city. Mr. Gindlesperger responded that yes it would be
a POD and that it is not a conditional use it is a Type II major site plan, a minor site
plan is a similar process as a business license and that if they wanted to add more
food trucks that are greater than 50 feet apart they would each be their own type I
application.
