Outdoor Dining Task Force

On August 24, 2021, the City Council directed staff to study long-term outdoor dining and business uses in the public right-of-way and on private property. During the COVID-19 pandemic recovery, the City permitted businesses to use parking spaces and street areas in the public right-of-way during COVID-19 operating restrictions through Emergency Orders. The long-term effort to evaluate long-term business uses is intended to be comprehensive, including broad community engagement, evaluation of fiscal implications, study of alternatives, environmental review, and required permitting.
