Thank you. History: Previous Community Development Director renewed Special Event permits since 2017. When the Community Development Office received a renewal late in 2019, I met with Legal and City Manager to confirm that this use, was unfortunately not permitted and was permitted incorrectly for several years. The item went before the City Commission and a Temporarily Land Use Permit was issued for 90 days with a 90 days extension, starting on February 13, 2020. Florida Smokehouse requested the extension and the permit will terminate on August 10, 2020. The Commission also instructed staff to work with Florida Smokehouse in regards to a possible new location while staff began drafting the new Food Truck (mobile food dispensing vehicle) Ordinance. During the 202o Florida Legislative session, the Florida House and Senate each passed bills, HB 1193 and SB 474, which generally was an omnibus kind of legislation pertaining to the deregulation of many kinds of professions and occupations. More specifically related to the proposed Ordinance, the new law addressed the regulation and definition of a mobile food dispensing vehicles (MFDV). The bill was executed by the Governor and took effect on July 1, 2020. See Chapter 202o-16o, Laws of Florida. The law preempts municipalities from outright prohibiting mobile food dispensing vehicles in the "entirety" of the jurisdictional limits of the City, and provides a limited preemption pertaining to licensing, registration, or permits and related fees other than what is required by Section 509.251, Florida Statutes. However, the law does allow for municipalities to regulate the operation and location of mobile food dispensing vehicles. Currently the City Code does not expressly allow or regulate the operation of mobile food dispensing vehicles and staff was instructed to research and propose an ordinance addressing the effects of the new law described in HB 1193 and SB 474• The proposed Ordinance was prepared at the City Commission's direction while keeping in -line with the Florida Statue.
