’26 Article 4 – Requirements for “Permanent” and “Temporary” Outdoor Dining Installations

What it means: This Article amends the Zoning Ordinance to clarify and define outdoor permanent and temporary dining areas, since the existing language lacks proper definitions. Establishments that use outside facilities to serve food and beverages must maintain safe and sanitary conditions at all times and ensure outdoor dining installations do not negatively impact public access or surrounding uses.

The changes incorporated in Article 4 are highlighted at this link:

No one spoke for or against this Article at Deliberative Session, other than to explain it.
