ATTACHMENT A – CONSIDERATIONS FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Proposed Action Item Council Approves on 6/10 Council Defers Action Extend the interim parklet
program for parklets and at-
grade dining on car-free portion
of Ramona
• Will maintain status quo until outdoor
dining standards for car-free streets are
adopted
• Ensures Parklets on car-free street portion
of Ramona do not need to be rebuilt to
standards designed for streets with traffic
• Ongoing parklet program regulations will apply
• Will need to comply with standards meant for streets
with vehicular traffic such as clearances and enclosure heights
Implement license fees under
the interim ordinance for this
same section of Ramona
• License fees will need to be paid under
interim ordinance
• License fees will need to be paid under ongoing parklet program ordinance
Adopt the revised Ongoing
Parklet Program Regulations
• Regulations will incorporate ARB feedback
and allow shop drawings for pre-approved
designs to proceed
• Pre-approved designs will not be available for use in August, as previously communicated to parklet
operators
• Planters will not be allowed; use of planters was a high priority for ARB and parklet operators
• Gutters/leaders will be required, furnishings will be regulated
Approved Pre-Approved Parklet
Designs and Associated Draft
user Guide as recommended by
ARB
• Pre-Approved Designs and User Guide will
be available for use in August
• Parklet operators will save money on a
custom design and structural drawings
• Approval process will be streamlined
• Parklet operators will need to pay to develop custom
designs
• Review and approval process will take longer
• Alternatively, City will need to further defer
enforcement of ongoing parklet program; drainage and
ponding issues will continue through another winter
season
• Parklets of Emerson Street that were removed due to
re-paving will either have to wait to use the pre-
approved designs or use custom designs
