Food trucks would no longer be allowed to park within 200 feet of a street-level restaurant's main customer entrance between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m., removing the current late-night exception.

Who it affects

• Food truck operators: They could no longer park or stand within 200 feet of a street-level restaurant's main entrance during the 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. window, so the 200-foot rule would apply at all hours.
• Street-level restaurants: Food trucks would have to stay at least 200 feet from their main customer entrance at all hours, including 12 a.m. to 2 a.m.
• Late-night food customers: Food trucks could no longer park near street-level restaurant entrances between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m.

What changes

• The exception that let food trucks park near street-level restaurants between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. would be removed.
• Food trucks would have to stay at least 200 feet from the main customer entrance of any street-level restaurant at all times.
