The new grants, which are as high as $20,000 each, are being offered to businesses that want to take advantage of new regulations allowing permanent dining structures to be located on sidewalks and on streets where parking spaces would normally be.
program, as it’s known, went into effect last July, but the process of redesigning outdoor seating structures in the street and on sidewalks has proved not only time consuming but also costly. In many instances, the structures already constructed by restaurant owners were not compliant with city and fire codes and needed to be redesigned or reconstructed.Some restaurateurs have spent as much as $20,000 on their al fresco dining structures. The fees as well are not inexpensive.
Businesses that had a valid temporary outdoor permit and are now in the process of obtaining a Spaces as Places permit can apply for the funds. The city has a total of $300,000 in funding, which will be available through June 30. The money comes from the city’s share of fees collected through the sale of business licenses and renewals, as well as from the Small Business Enhancement Program.
“The time frame for our reviews has not been six months, it’s been much shorter than that,” said Chris Larson program coordinator for Spaces as Places. “It’s a partnership between the Development Services Department and the applicants, and we can’t control the time frame they take to move through the process. We can only control our time frame.”
