Board member Henneberry made the motion to approve the staff recommendations as amended by the Planning Board. Motion seconded by Board member Kohlstrand. Motion passed 6-0. 9-B Recommend Adoption of An Ordinance Amending Alameda Municipal Code Sections 6-27.4, 6-52.1 and 22-8.1 to allow Sale of Goods from a Rolling Store with Approval of a Special Event Permit, Conditional Use Permit, or Encroachment Permit; and Adoption of Food Truck Program Guidelines, including Standard Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use Permit or Encroachment Permit for Rolling Stores. Eric Fonstein, Development Manager, Economic Development Division, gave a presentation highlighting the Food Truck Program Guidelines. At the request of the West Alameda Business Association (WABA) and Park Street Business Association (PSBA), permanent or reoccurring food truck uses on private property will be restricted to specific underserved commercial areas in Alameda. The following describes this three-prong permitting process: A Special Event Permit (SEP) for one-time events or up to three individual events (such as block parties or street festivals occurring on consecutive days) on private property or in the public Right-of-Way; A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for permanent or recurring food truck uses on private property; or an Encroachment Permit (EP) for permanent or recurring food truck uses in the public Right-of-Way. A CUP for permanent or reoccurring food truck use would be restricted to the following locations: the former Naval Air Station at Alameda Point, the College of Alameda property, the South Shore Shopping Center, and the Marina Village and Harbor Bay Business Parks. Staff proposes revising the following Sections of the AMC to be consistent with the California Vehicle Code, to encourage food trucks in appropriate locations, and to be consistent with the City's existing practice Vice President Autorino asked how the public or neighbors are allowed to provide opposition to a Special Events Permit for a food truck. Margaret Kavanaugh-Lynch stated that some Special Event Permits are not noticed and others are required to be noticed by the applicant. Board member Henneberry questioned why a Special Events permit is required for the trucks within a block of a park. Mr. Fonstein answered that it was because of children in the area and pedestrian safety. Board member Burton asked to what extent other cities were consulted regarding their programs and ways to make the program successful.
