SUMMARY STATEMENT: Across the country, local governments are making provisions to help the business communities navigate the impacts of the COVID-19. The purpose of this agenda bill
is to propose the process and permit structure to allow our businesses to temporarily utilize the public rights-of way such as sidewalks and/or public parking spaces to accommodate
customers who cannot be physically inside due to COVID precautions. Currently, the City does not have a clear or easy process to consider the use of public ROW or parking by private
business in a manner that recognizes these challenging times and assists the businesses while protecting public health. Numerous Idaho communities have created this opportunity and
we modeled our application after the City of Ketchum. The application would be submitted for an administrative review by the City Planner ($50 fee) and routed to the relevant department
and agencies for comments prior to approval. The permit would be temporary and valid for 180 days.
For restaurants serving alcohol, an ordinance change is needed to allow for exceptions to the open container regulations. Restaurant establishments would still need to comply with local
and state standards for alcohol. The City Attorney worked with the Prosecuting Attorney to draft the attached ordinances.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Revocable Encroachment License Application form process and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Suspend the rules and Read by Title only one time only Ordinance No. _____
Adopt Ordinance No. ____ amending section MCC 5-5-030, Prohibitions, (F), Open Container, To Include Section 4.9.19, Open Containers on Public Property for Permitted Business Premises,
