The Boulder City Council Tuesday night approved new rules allowing food trucks to sell their goods in certain areas of the city.
The regulations — which still must be approved at a third reading in May because the council made amendments — allow food trucks to operate on private property with the permission of the owners in industrial, business, mixed-use and downtown zoning districts.
The trucks also will be allowed to operate in public rights-of-way in industrial zones — located mostly in east Boulder or the Gunbarrel area — or as part of an organized special event such as the Boulder Creek Festival or block parties.
The trucks must stay at least 100 feet away from restaurants, 150 feet away from residential areas and 200 feet away from other food trucks.
The trucks will be allowed to operate from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., but not for longer than four hours in any one location. They will not be allowed to sell alcohol or put out tables or chairs.
