NOTICE
restaurant reopening information & GUIDANCE
overview
The Licensing Office processes applications and maintains records of all licenses and permits under the licensing authority of the Board of License Commissioners, City Council, and some under authority of the Police Department.
TEMPORARY RESTAURANT OUTDOOR SEATING APPLICATION
To enable restaurants to reopen as quickly as possible, the City has made a temporary outdoor seating application. There will be no fee for the temporary outdoor seating application. Term of approved plan expires April 1, 2022.
The quick application allows owners to lay out how they propose to offer food and beverages outside in a manner to meet health and safety requirements. Eating establishments must possess an existing “pouring license” to serve alcoholic beverages outdoors. The application can be found here.
To assist restaurants in reopening, the City has created an easy-to-follow application process guide.
If you would like to make changes to an approved plan, email a new site plan to Diane Willoughby explaining the changes requested. It will be reviewed and a determination will be made whether a hearing is required.
If you have additional questions, please email Diane Willoughby for more information.
ALCOHOL SERVER TRAINING
