Based on these environmental changes, City Staff has identified certain areas within the outdoor seating and parking codes that could be modernized. Additionally, Staff has streamlined the outdoor seating approval process to a permit process, similar to the current Special Event permit process, that is simpler for applicants to apply for, faster on average for review, and more cost efficient than the current approval process. The proposed changes will allow more flexibility for restaurant owners and staff in reviewing and approving outdoor seating within the City.”
