To: Marysville Planning and Historic Preservation Commission From: Kevin Payne, Planning Consultant
Mike Luken, Planning Consultant
Dan Flores, Community and Economic Development Director Subject: Ordinance ‐ Outdoor Dining Ordinance
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this item is to provide information to enable the Planning Commission to recommend to the City Council an ordinance to replace the existing outdoor dining ordinance in its entirety.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing and recommend that the City Council approve an Ordinance (Attachment 1) modifying Section 18.63 of the Maryville Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) for outdoor dining.
BACKGROUND
An urgency ordinance that was previously adopted to allow outdoor dining during the pandemic has lapsed. Following the termination of the urgency ordinance, two outdoor dining establishments that existed during the pandemic were removed in 2025. In 2025, the City Council requested that the Community Development Department update the outdoor sidewalk dining regulations. These regulations were first adopted in 2005 to encourage outdoor dining. As written, they limit outdoor dining to seating only within the sidewalk area adjacent to eating and drinking establishments.
Members of the Planning Commission attended the League of California Cities Planning Commission Academy on March 5-7, 2025. While attending this conference, the Commission viewed several outdoor dining decks and sidewalk dining venues in the City of Santa Rosa. On March 26, 2025, staff provided an overview of outdoor dining options to the Planning Commission.
The Commission provided feedback including limiting both sidewalk seating and dining decks to local streets that were traveled at speeds that are less than 25 mph.
As a follow-up to the direction provided by both the City Council and the Planning Commission, staff researched several other jurisdiction’s ordinances relating to outdoor dining. Based on this Planning and Historic Preservation Commission
Draft Outdoor Dining Ordinance
effort, staff compiled an updated outdoor dining ordinance that allows for both sidewalk seating and deck dining areas, like those viewed in the City of Santa Rosa. On February 11, 2025, staff presented the details of the draft ordinance to the Marysville Business Association (MBA).
The MBA had questions and comments on the ordinance provisions regarding; outdoor furniture, shade structures, lighting, handicapped access provisions, lighting applications, vehicle barrier requirements and options, visibility when considering vegetation or landscaping, alcohol service and utility repair implications. Overall, the input from the MBA was positive and supportive of the provisions within the ordinance. They did recommend making eating and drinking establishments aware of the ordinance on a citywide basis. In response, staff circulated a link to the ordinance, the PowerPoint presentation and an outline of the ordinance to these businesses.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the ordinance is to promote outdoor sidewalk and street dining deck use in a cohesive, attractive and streamlined approach that adds value to the business environment. To accomplish this the ordinance is structured to address operating and development standards that apply to both outdoor sidewalk seating and dining decks. It also provides specific standards just for sidewalk seating and specific standards for dining decks. As currently structured, it allows businesses to use both sidewalk seating and a dining deck if they can meet the standards within the ordinance. The following is an overview of the key elements of the ordinance.
Application and Approval Process: To promote the use of outdoor dining venues the ordinance streamlines the approval process. An outdoor dining area that conforms to the development standards established by the ordinance can be approved administratively, via a Minor Use Permit.
Deviations from the standards will result in the business owner applying for a Minor Design Review Permit. Following the entitlement approval process an Encroachment Permit is required and depending on the level of improvements a Building and/or Fire Permit may be required.
Encroachment in the public right-of-way for a dining deck will require a stamped set of plans by a licensed architect/engineer.
Key Operational and Development Standards: The following provides a brief overview of the key elements contained within the draft ordinance. For additional information, a full summary of the draft ordinance is provided in Attachment 2.
Visibility and Aesthetics: Outdoor dining will maintain clear visibility from the street into the business. This requirement applies to the use of vegetation or landscaping. Height limits have been established for barrier walls to allow for visibility into the business from the street as a crime prevention measure. Cohesive but not identical dining deck designs are encouraged. Corner sight visibility to promote traffic safety is established per state regulations and police needs.
Lighting: Lighting is allowed, but solar/battery-power options are recommended. Battery powered table lamps/candles are allowed, but no open flames will be allowed. Permanent fixtures are allowed but introduces additional permitting requirements.
Planning and Historic Preservation Commission
Draft Outdoor Dining Ordinance
ADA and clearances: Improvements will maintain a 48-inch clear path of travel, and accessible surfaces will be required. Improvements will preserve street gutter drainage. Vehicle safety barriers: Vehicle safety barriers are required for dining deck applications where the public parking area is being converted for public seating. Examples of appropriate barriers include sand or rock-filled planters, metal railing and aesthetically treated K-rail. All vehicle barriers must be engineered to meet vehicle crash loads. Street eligibility: The draft ordinance limits installations to streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less and a daily trip generation of less than 5,000 average daily trips. Caltransowned highways are generally excluded (e.g., Highway 20). Operations: Hours of use are to align with business hours. Amplified sound is allowed from 10 a.m.–10 p.m. unless modified and approved by the City. Waste management is required. Alcohol service is allowed with ABC compliance and may require additional improvements to comply with ABC standards. No food preparation, food storage or storage of materials is permitted.
Utilities: Setbacks are established to maintain separation from seating and utilities.
Improvements in the right-of-way are not of a permanent nature and can be removed to facilitate utility repairs. Utility providers will have an opportunity to secure access requirements as part of the encroachment permit process.
Key Takeaways: The ordinance establishes a streamlined entitlement and permitting process that encourages the use of outdoor dining venues. It offers the business community the opportunity to expand their operations while promoting a safe and aesthetically pleasing use of the City’s right-of-way. It reflects a collaboration between the business community and the City to create a more vibrant experience for customers utilizing Marysville’s eating and drinking establishments.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15305 of the California Code of Regulations – Minor Changes to Land Use Limitations.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is no impact because the adoption of the recommended action. This ordinance is designed to improve investment in the city of Marysville.
