Thanks to all that have responded! There's definitely a boatload (truckload?) of unknowns. Though it can't be enforced on this project (because it's in a newer edition), the 2018 Life Safety Code has a new section (50.7) that addresses "Mobile and Temporary Cooking Operations", though I don't think it envisioned food trucks being located inside a building.
Pay grades higher than mine will need to make decisions.

I don't foresee this being viable.

The plan shows 6 trucks spread out near the perimeter with the middle of the building open for pedestrian traffic (maybe tables?). Ordinary Group I hazard (parking garage) seems very inadequate. Extra hazard group II (manufactured home assemblies) seems a bit strong. Thoughts?
