Riviera Council rejects zoning ordinance for food truck locations
The Zoning Sub-Committee of Revere City convened on June 2, 2025, to discuss key zoning ordinances, including a proposal for food truck regulations and a review of a previous zoning ordinance. The meeting began with a discussion on the parking ordinance, where committee members expressed their views on the necessity of parking regulations tied to larger projects rather than standalone parking approvals. After deliberation, the committee voted against providing a favorable recommendation for the zoning ordinance, with all members voting "no."

The next agenda item focused on establishing definitions and regulations for food trucks within the city. Chief of Planning and Community Development, Tom Skorowski, presented a map delineating four proposed districts where food trucks would be permitted: R2, PDD 1 (Suffolk Downs), HB, and TED. The committee engaged in discussions about specific locations, including Squire Road and the eligibility of areas like Stop and Shop for food truck operations.

Councilor Agenzio inquired about the application process for food truck licenses, which would require applicants to file with the city and obtain property owner permission for parking in designated areas. The committee emphasized the importance of notifying nearby businesses and residents about food truck applications, ensuring community input in the licensing process.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the committee's cautious approach to zoning changes, particularly regarding parking and food truck regulations, with a focus on maintaining community standards and ensuring proper notification for affected parties. The committee plans to continue discussions on these topics in future meetings.
