“On behalf of the Yelm Business Assn. (YBA), I wish to recognize the hard work of Yelm’s Community Development Dept., the Yelm Planning Commission, Yelm City Administrator Graham, the Yelm Planning Commission, and the Yelm City Council in developing Yelm’s Food Truck regulations. Now, this city has consistent regulations offering Food Truck owner/operators a concise understanding of what is required of them to come and serve Yelm customers. Food Trucks have become a popular asset for communities to drawing visitors. The YBA also acknowledges the contributions of Washington Food Truck Assn. Executive Director Lori Johnson.”
– Yelm City Council adopts YBA-initiated Food Truck Regulations
The Yelm City Council adopted Ordinance 1022 updating the Unified Development Code (UDC) this evening, implementing new and updated policies of the Comprehensive Plan with the following amendment:
Section 16 shall be re-titled “A new section of the Unified Development Code shall be established at Chapter 18.71 YMC entitled Mobile Food Vending.”
Councilor DePinto commented to the Council this is, “making Yelm a little more business-friendly for the Food Trucks.”
– After a 9 month vetting process, Yelm finally has clear Food Truck Regs.
The YBA drafted Food Truck regulations and submitted for consideration as a proposal to the Yelm City Council on September 13, 2016 by then-Executive Director Dan Crowe. These regulations were designed to offer Food Truck vendors clear regulations on operating in Yelm. The city conducted the first city-issues Town Hall public forum in 12 years to include public comment on this proposal.
