TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a Public Walkways Occupancy Permit for sidewalk dining at La Traviata Restaurant Lounge and Bar, located at 301 Cedar Avenue. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
The operator of La Traviata Restaurant Lounge and Bar, located at 301 Cedar Avenue, requests a permit to temporarily occupy part of the adjoining sidewalk for the purpose of sidewalk dining. The proposed permit area and the list of furnishings to be placed in the permit area are shown on Exhibit A. Approval of this permit is based on the conditions and standards of Chapter 14.14 of the Long Beach Municipal Code, which describes temporary uses of public right-of-way.
The width of the sidewalk at this location is 15 feet. A minimum clearance of 7 feet and 6 inches will be maintained along the sidewalk adjacent to the permit area barricade and curb to provide for acceptable sidewalk clearance.
This matter was reviewed by the Department of Development Services Building and Safety Bureau on August 4, 2017, by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on August 7, 2017, and by Revenue Management Officer Geraldine Alejo on August 17, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A permit processing fee of $939 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW), and a security deposit of $885 was collected to ensure sidewalk repairs upon permit termination. Approval of this recommendation will provide continued support to the local economy.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
