GRANDE AUTHORIZING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR TO WAIVE APPLICATION FEES FOR ENCROACHMENT
PERMITS AND MINOR USE PERMITS-TEMPORARY USE PERMITS
SUBMITTED BY RESTAURANTS SEEKING ADDITIONAL OUTDOOR
DINING SPACE DURING THE COVID-19 REOPENING PROCESS
WHEREAS, local restaurants have suffered during the shelter-at-home orders issued by
the State and County of San Luis Obispo in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and,
although the State has allowed restaurants to reopen, they are required to ensure
adequate physical distancing or protective measures installed between tables, resulting
in many restaurants being forced to significantly reduce the number of tables and seats
available in their existing spaces; and
WHEREAS, restaurants seeking additional outdoor dining area not already included in
the restaurant's existing land use entitlement are required to obtain a Minor Use Permit-
Temporary Use Permit in order to comply with the City of Arroyo Grande's Development
Code, and any proposed outdoor dining use of City right of way or other City-owned
property will also require an encroachment permit; and
WHEREAS, the current application fee for an encroachment permit is $57 and the
application fee for a Minor Use Permit-Temporary Use Permit is $294; and
WHEREAS, the City does not have an adopted procedure for requests for waivers of
application fees in this situation; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to support local restaurants in their efforts to recover and
reopen following the COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders and to comply with the State and
local physical distancing and other operational limitations by facilitating additional outdoor
dining space where otherwise appropriate under existing laws and regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande
as follows:
1. The Community Development Director is authorized to waive application fees
for encroachment permits and Minor Use Permits-Temporary Use Permits for
restaurants seeking additional outdoor dining space during the COVID-10
