[Massplanners] Ghost Kitchens/Cloud Kitchens

[Pollack, Travis]

Good afternoon,

Anyone know of municipalities that have or are considering specific zoning or other regulations of dark stores (smaller stores that stock items for delivery but are not open to the public, sometimes called micro-fulfillment centers or neighborhood fulfillment centers) or ghost kitchens (commercial facilities that house multiple restaurant operators who prepare food for takeout or delivery exclusively to fulfill online orders; sometimes called cloud kitchens, dark kitchens, or virtual food halls)?  We know Newton has been exploring this, but wondering if others are as well.

(And thanks everyone for examples of ghost kitchens in Greater Boston in response to our question earlier this month. Looking to expand our research.)

Thanks.
