Concerning the expansion of the outdoor dining, if the city council votes in favor, I would like to know if they are going to enforce rules concerning the amount of sidewalk a restaurant can use. Just this weekend, during one of my walks, Millie's on the corner of Washington & Hill, they have become more brazen on the amount of sidewalk they are using. Being a tax paying citizen of this city, I believe I'm entitled to walk the sidewalks without interference from a business. As you can see in the pic attached, I almost had to walk in the street because of the umbrella & their works using the small portion of the sidewalk as their thorough fair. This leads me to the next question, does Millie's pay the city a fee to use this public sidewalk? Thank you

RE: Agenda item 11-Amendment for Restaurant Uses
Dear Mayor Gordo and City Council Members,
RECEIVED

CITY CLERK
CIT/ OF PASADENA
The Board of Directors of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association fully supports the Amendments, Land Use Entitlement Time Limits and Technical Changes and administrative Corrections to the Zoning Code.
These changes will codify and make permanent those changes that were made during the pandemic to ensure vitality of our restaurants.
Specifically, allowing for walk-up windows, the administrative approval of Conditional Use Permits for the on-site sale of alcohol and allowing outdoor dining on private property have proven to be helpful to the restaurants that have taken advantage. It has also been shown there are no adverse impacts from these changes.
City steff should be commended for instituting these changes in the emergency and for askingthey be made a permanent part of the zoning code now.
Standardizing the time limits for land use entitlements makes sense for the City, for the applicants and for the neighbors.
I encourage you to support the staff recommendations.
Sincerely,
Taul Little
President and Chief Executive Officer
