City Council · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville Beach is considering a pilot program to allow food truck rallies in the Central Business District. This program, if approved, would permit a food truck rally event up to once per calendar quarter. Local business owners have requested this to test its positive impact on the area. The proposed ordinance, Ordinance No. 2026-8234, is currently under review by the City Council. If passed, the program would require a special event permit for each rally, with applications due 45 to 90 days before the event. This initiative could create opportunities for food truck operators, event support services, and businesses located within the Central Business District that may benefit from increased foot traffic. Early engagement with the city's planning and development department is advised as the ordinance moves through the review process.
