Aurora's City Council in Colorado is considering an ordinance to restrict food trucks in the city. Council member Angela Lawson is calling on the city to limit both the number of food trucks, and how long they can stay in one area, according to a report by Colorado Politics.

Council members cited a variety of concerns, including overcrowding near a shopping plaza, illegal dumping and food safety concerns. One other concern raised is making sure food trucks leave an area to dump wastewater.

Several proposed changes include:

• Allowing a maximum of five per 15,000 square feet.
• Enabling earlier start times at construction sites and food deserts.
• Storage requirements.
