The Main Street Outdoor Uses Program would allow ground-floor Main Street businesses to augment their frontage by setting up small outdoor dining spaces and other limited enhancements in the public right-of-way. The Program aims to enhance the appeal of Main Street to visitors, while also providing businesses with an opportunity to increase their visibility and attract more foot traffic. Program implementation requires an amendment to the Main Street Specific Plan. The proposed Program is intended to streamline the permit process for sidewalk uses.
