TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a Public Walkways Occupancy Permit for sidewalk dining at Pho Nomenon restaurant, located at 5295 East Second Street. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
The operator of Pho Nomenon restaurant, located at 5295 East Second 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 and accessories to be placed in the permit area are shown on the attachment. 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 13 ½ feet. A minimum clearance of 5 feet will be maintained between the permit area and existing sidewalk fixtures. Usage of the sidewalk dining area is restricted to the hours between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
This matter was reviewed by the Long Beach Fire Department on December 23, 2013, by Deputy City Attorney Amy Webber on August 3, 2014, and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on December 11, 2014.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A permit-processing fee of $616 was deposited into the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW) and a security deposit of $580 was provided to assure sidewalk repairs upon permit termination. Approval of this recommendation will provide continued support to the local economy.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
