(c) On any construction site with an active building permit and ongoing construction activity;

(7) All other sale of goods or services from any vehicle other than a food truck are subject to all the regulations for the zoning district in which the sale is conducted, but this regulation does not prohibit any vending from vehicles on public streets that is not otherwise prohibited by law.
(8) Each food truck must be in substantial conformance with any proffered condition, development plan, special exception, or special permit for the site on which it operates.
If any proffered condition, development plan, special exception or special permit approval specifically precludes food trucks or otherwise regulates food trucks, including the location, hours of operation, or number of food trucks, the zoning approval will govern that aspect of the food truck location or operation in lieu of the standards in this Section 4102.8.E. Unless otherwise specified in any zoning approval, all provisions of this Section 4102.8.E apply.
