11.2 Consider Forming a City Council Subcommittee on Outdoor Dining Attachments
|
Public Comments
1. Written Communications - Received 8_12_2024 - Acosta.pdf Resident
Clear overreach of the Development Services Department yet again. Working against their corrupt Gaylord Bayfront tourism push as parklets demonstrate the vibrancy of Third Avenue. Don’t understand City Manager Office’s agenda here as parklets are a demonstrated success.
CV Resident
The City should not remove existing, previously-permitted parklets, even if nearing end of existing deadline, if it is just going to end up allowed again. Waste of money. I use outdoor dining spaces more than indoor, there is already plenty of street parking and more importantly parking lots and a parking garage. If we are building more housing near this corridor, let's make it fit more people and be more pleasant for locals to walk to. Drivers can park once, just maybe not directly in front of the business (this is already often the case due to geometry). In general I support the subcommittee, with the caveat to extend existing permits.
CV Resident
The City needs to reconsider removing the existing parklets. Federal grant funds were used to pay for these improvements. If the City wants the businesses to remove the parklets, the general fund should reimburse the federal CoronaVirus relief funds that were used to pay for these improvements. If I recall, the parklet improvements was provided as a grant to the business owners. Since federal funds were used, the parklets should be ADA compliant as the businesses submitted plans to the City for review and approval.
