SUBJECT
Postponement of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 064,2008,Amending Sections 23-83 and 24-2
of the City Code Pertaining to Awnings and Canopies over Sidewalks to September 16, 2008.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends postponing adoption of this Ordinance on Second Reading to September 16,2008.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff has been approached by a local business seeking permission to install a retractable shade and
rain awning over its permitted eating area encroachment to accommodate patrons during periods of
inclement weather. Current City Code language precludes the issuance of an encroachment permit
to allow the installation of the awning. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on
June 3, 2008, allows an encroachment permit to be issued in this instance as well as for other
businesses who seek to place awnings over permitted patio encroachments.
Staff is requesting postponement of Second Reading of the Ordinance to September 16, 2008, in
order to incorporate changes in the Ordinance requested by Council. These changes will address
historic preservation issues,awning color and type,attachment specifications,approval criteria and
administration procedures.
