STAFF UPDATE
The City Attorney's Office has determined that the City's Business Regulations
which prohibit mobile food vending in a public right-of-way take precedence over
the Zoning Ordinance Regulations due to the fact that the Business Regulations
are more restrictive. The City Attorney's Office notes that the Board of
Adjustment does not have the authority to grant a variance from the City's
Business Regulations, and therefore, the variance application needs to be
withdrawn. Staff supports a withdrawal of the application.
