Outdoor Dining

Do you want to expand your dining outdoors onto the sidewalk, the street, or other public area adjacent to your business?

The Public Works Department regularly issues permits for outdoor dining on public property and in the public right of way. Outdoor dining permits are issued on a case-by-case basis. Permit fees and requirements vary and installation expenses are paid for by the individual business.

Do you want to build a permanent space for outdoor dining in a curbside parking space or street shoulder? 

Parklets are a special type of permanent installation established in the street without involving lane closure. Approval of design and construction of permanent parklets can take a few months. Fees apply and implementation is funded by individual businesses.
