Here are the full details
CC seemed to be satisfied with the boundaries defining home occupations, backyard gardening, garage sales, subdivision redevelopment, and other stereotypical "hot button" issues that the usual suspects are afraid of.
But ice cream trucks are a nuisance.
You head that right, gang! Because food trucks are "in" and required clear definitions to be allowed, traditional ice cream trucks with their little bells and calliope tunes are banned.
Quoted from the above memo at City Hall. (emphases added)
It is important to note, the attached meeting minutes from the Community Council meeting
provide information on all the topics discussed. While the majority of topics received
clarification during the scheduled meeting, Staff was charged with looking into the
correlation between food trucks and ice cream trucks. The drafted ordinance, in Chapter 27,
Article 8, defines food trucks as “a licensed motor vehicle or other mobile food dispensation
unit that is temporarily parked outside of the right-of-way and in which food items are sold
to the general public.” Pursuant to Section 18-19(b)(16), ice cream trucks would fall under “sound trucks,” which are mechanical loudspeakers or amplifiers on trucks or other moving
or standing vehicles for advertising or other commercial purposes. Such vehicles are
declared to be loud, disturbing, and unnecessary noise in violation of the noise ordinance
regulations. Therefore, because of the noise they emit and the fact that retail sales are not
a permitted use in residential districts, ice cream trucks are prohibited.
My kids want to start a riot. Who's in?

This is what I get when I go to that link:
"The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
Did the mere threat of a child riot work already?
You don't know my kids.... ;-)
No, seriously, I'll check on that link.
The PDF is still there - it is listed under the documents associated with the Planning Commission agenda.
Agenda here - click on the zoning rewrite link and it's the first document in the right column
