MIDVALE, Utah (AP) -- Don't expect new taco carts in Midvale for a while.
The City Council has approved a six-month moratorium on new carts. Council members say they're worried the carts compete with traditional restaurants. Assistant City Administrator Phillip Hill says some also don't like the appearance of the carts.
Hill estimates there are about seven carts around town.
The moratorium on new carts is meant to give city staffers more time to update regulations.
The moratorium also prevents new business licenses for other vendor stands, such as those selling fireworks or flowers.
West Valley City earlier this year approved an ordinance limiting the number of taco carts. Salt Lake City has regulations on where they can operate.
