Do you want to expand your restaurant outdoor dining facilities by building a permanent space for outdoor dining in a parking zone or street shoulder?
Parklets are a special type of permanent installation established in the street without involving lane closure.
Public Works is preparing guidelines for permitting parklets. (Check back for more information and application.)
- Parklet permits will be approved by the Public Works Director.
- Approval of design and construction of permanent parklets can take a few months.
- Fees apply and implementation is funded by individual businesses, costing on average $15,000-$30,000 for a one-two car parklet.
Design and construction of permanent parklets can also be included as part of the infrastructure improvements of larger street and streetscaping projects. Such projects would require several years to design and implement and they might qualify for grant funding, such as the Urban Greening Program.
Other Types of Outdoor Dining Permits
Instead of a Parklet, do you want to expand your dining outdoors temporarily onto the sidewalk or other public area adjacent to your business? Or do you want to host a special event or expand onto private property?
