Maryland Food Trucks Will Have To Stay 300-Feet Away From Brick-And-Mortar Restaurants

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Maryland food truck owners will have to find a spot to park that is at least 300-feet away from restaurants.

Maryland Court of Special Appeals Judge Douglas R.M. Nazarian overturned a lower court ruling Thursday that stated the rule was too vague.

In 2016, two Baltimore area food truck owners -- Joey Vanoni, who owns Pizza di Joey, and Nikki McGowans -- contested the ban saying it violated their constitutional rights.

City council passed the ban in 2014.

The rule applies to any mobile vendor and if violated they could be fined $500 or have their licenses revoked.
