TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution amending the Downtown Dining and Entertainment District Program conditions relating to rooftop patios. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
At its meeting of March 4, 2014, the City Council requested this Office to prepare an amendment to the Downtown Dining and Entertainment District ("District") permit conditions to allow entertainment on rooftop patios at specified times.
The District was originally created in order to regulate the issuance of entertainment permits and standardize permit conditions in the District. Long 8each Municipal Code section 5.72.220 authorized a set of standard conditions, adopted by Council resolution as Attachment "A" and a set of progressively "tiered" conditions, Attachment "8" to the resolution, which are imposed in the event of permit non-compliance.
Entertainment on rooftop patios was prohibited in the District after 2007.
After input from residents and businesses, the City Council voted to allow rooftop patio entertainment at specified times. This condition will "sunset" by action of the City Council, or by its own terms, no later than two years after adoption of the amending resolution.
A resolution has been prepared for adoption, to which are attached Attachment "A," the standard conditions, and Attachment "8," tiered conditions. Attachment "A" contains the amendment allowing rooftop patio entertainment. Attachment "8" has not been modified. L8MC section 5.72.220 itself has not been amended as no change was required.
