TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a Public Walkways Occupancy Permit for sidewalk dining at Starling Diner restaurant, located at 4114 East 3rd Street. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
The operator of Starling Diner restaurant, located at 4114 East 3rd 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 curbside PWOP area will be subject to 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. hours of operation, after which the portable private furnishing and temporary sturdy barricade shall be removed and stored on private property.
