TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a Public Walkways Occupancy Permit for sidewalk dining at Long Beach Taco Company, located at 442 East 1st Street. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
The operator of Long Beach Taco Company restaurant, located at 442 East 1st Street, 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 12 feet. A minimum clearance of 7 feet and 6 inches will be maintained along the sidewalk adjacent to the permit area to provide for acceptable sidewalk clearance.
This matter was reviewed by the Department of Development Services Building and Safety Bureau on July 19, 2017, by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on February 23, 2018, and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on March 6, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A permit processing fee of $1,109 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW), and a security deposit of $1,044 was collected to ensure sidewalk repairs upon permit termination. Approval of this recommendation will provide continued support to the local economy.
