Hood River City Councilors have asked municipal staff to prepare an ordinance to amend the regulations surrounding food trucks so they do not have to move every six months. That was the requirement before it was suspended at the beginning of the pandemic. City Planning Director Dustin Nilsen says they received about two-thousand comments on food carts after a survey they put out went viral. He summed up the results in different groups, with consumers wanting the food carts to be able to stay in place where they are but business groups split on the issue. Nilsen also noted they received some input from agencies who wanted to see health and sanitation sideboards placed on allowing food carts to establish a more permanent location…plus there are land use considerations, particularly when the carts are grouped together at one location.
