During that meeting, several residents and residential property owners expressed opposition to the proposed Bayfront Park location be- cause of its proximity to several residential properties. Some suggested the food truck zone be located at City Pier Park instead, which is home to the city’s seasonal farmers market, but the City Pier Park location never garnered any serious consideration from the mayor and commission.
The Oct. 13 food truck discussion began with Murphy noting that he and the commissioners had received numerous emails expressing opposition to the proposed Bayfront Park location.
“My recommendation is to deny adoption of this ordinance and then staff can reconsider this issue and we can take a look at other options as necessary at some point in the future without a definitive date,” he told the commission.
Murphy did not mention any alternative location for the city’s designated food truck zone. During previous discussions, Vose noted some Florida cities restrict food truck operations to specific zoning designations. Anna Maria’s commercial district (C-1) and retail/office/residential (ROR) both allow for restaurant operations.
