Revere Planning Board Approves New Zoning for Food Trucks on Private Property

In the recent Revere Planning Board meeting, a significant amendment was approved to regulate food trucks on private property across several districts in Revere. This newly defined ordinance will restrict food trucks to operate only in designated areas such as RC2 along Revere Beach Boulevard, PDD1 at Suffolk Downs, and parts of Squire Road, among others. The amendment aims to simplify and centralize the licensing process under the License Commission.

25:39The discussion around the food truck ordinance revealed there are already three known food trucks interested in applying for licenses under the new zoning regulations. These licenses, valid for a year, could potentially lead to year-long operations rather than seasonal ones. The board also considered the issue of noise, recommending a decibel limit of 45 dBA for generators, which will be included in the recommendation to the city council.

30:40Moreover, the board deliberated on the proposal for a street extension on Richard Street. The extension, which has received approval from various city departments, involves extending the road by 125 feet to connect with Walnut Street. This project aims to improve accessibility, particularly for emergency services, and create a loop in the water system. The road will remain a private way until potentially accepted by the city in the future. The extension facilitates better traffic flow for services such as snow plowing and trash collection.
