                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

MOBILE FOOD VENDING IN COMMUTER LOTS IN PLANNING DISTRICT 8 (§ 33.2-118)

A. In Planning District 8, any mobile food vending unit with a mobile food
establishment permit from the Department of Health may, after securing the
appropriate approval from the locality in which the commuter parking lot is
located, apply for an additional permit with the Department of Transportation
and pay a fee in order to operate such mobile food vending unit in a commuter
parking lot owned by the Department of Transportation and vend to commuters. A
mobile food vending unit shall not be deemed to be parking for the purposes of
&#xA7; 46.2-1219.2 while it is vending pursuant to a permit issued under this
section.

B. The Department shall develop guidelines, consistent with the Board&#8217;s
regulations and policies, to permit mobile food vending as provided in
subsection A. Such guidelines shall (i) provide for the issuance of permits by
the Department to mobile food vendors authorizing such vendors to operate in
commuter parking lots owned by the Department, (ii) establish criteria that the
Department will use in evaluating each permit application to ensure that neither
the function and purpose of the affected commuter parking lot nor the motor
vehicle traffic flow and motorist and pedestrian safety will be adversely
affected by the operation of the mobile food vendors, (iii) establish fees for
mobile food vending, and (iv) address any other issues related to permit
issuance as deemed necessary by the Department.

C. The Department shall publish on its website a permit application form for
mobile food vending units to apply for such permit to vend to commuters in
commuter lots in Planning District 8 and the established fee for such permit and
vending.
