If you can’t get enough of street food vendors and trucks, you’re in luck.

Oakland is loosening its belt of rules and regulations involving mobile food vendors in an effort to increase the city’s pedestrian activity, entrepreneurship opportunities and commercial vitality.

The city released its draft of proposed changes at the beginning of the year, and will hold a public hearing 6 p.m. June 1 at City Hall, with more public hearings to follow in July.

“We’re estimating between 200 push carts and food trucks could come into the program the first year,” said Devan Reiff, the city’s project manager for the food vendor program. “That’s the target, but there’s way more food trucks and vendors than that in Oakland.”

Oakland has issued permits allowing vendors to sell food from vehicles and pushcarts for the past 10 years in pilot areas of Fruitvale, Central and West Oakland.

Group sites were added three years ago as a permitted activity in downtown, North Oakland and West Oakland.

“You only have to look at the success of events like First Fridays or Friday Nights at OMCA, which is run by Off the Grid,” Reiff said. “Those are unique once-a-week events, but each of those vendors could conceivably get a permit through this program and sell on their own.”

Major proposed changes include allowing vendors in every industrial and commercial area in the city.

Individual vendors currently are limited to private property in the Fruitvale neighborhood and commercial streets in East Oakland such as International Boulevard, Fruitvale Avenue, Foothill Boulevard and San Leandro Street.

For years, residents, mobile food vendors and organizers, and food justice advocacy groups have sought opportunities to sell legally throughout Oakland.

“To give you some perspective, my truck has been in 50 different locations a month; only two of those 50 locations were in Oakland,” said Kenny, owner of Kenny’s Heart and Soul food truck. He declined to give his last name.

“I am an Oakland resident, I am an Oakland homeowner, I am an Oakland business owner, I got my small business loan in Oakland, and I wasn’t allowed to sell in Oakland,” he said.

Vendors could also apply to sell in downtown and in West and North Oakland under the proposed changes.

A prohibition would be lifted to allow group site organizers to hold events in the Fruitvale district and on commercial streets in Central and East Oakland.

No on-street food vending is currently permitted in Oakland. The proposal would allow sidewalk food vending for both stationary and pushcart trailers on public streets and sidewalks.

The number of food pods or group sites could also increase, allowing organizers to apply for up to five different locations, up from the current limit of two. Each group site would also be able to sell food up to three times a week on public property, an increase from two times a week currently allowed. Group sites would have no limitations on the number of days they sell on private property.

Although Kenny’s Heart and Soul has been successful since it started more than two years ago, Kenny said the food truck business is looked at as a cash cow instead of a grueling startup with work hours ranging from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.

At $1,959, mobile food facility permits for vehicles and food trucks in 2015 were more than triple the cost of the same permit for a pushcart in Oakland. San Francisco and San Jose charge the same for both types of permits, $764 and $328 respectively.

“Though we were the first city to legalize the food truck industry, we are behind the curve,” Kenny said.

“When you look at what we do and how much we put into it, the reward is nominal. But I am looking forward to having some guidelines to follow for our businesses and being a legal entity within the Oakland fabric,” Kenny added.
