sr-120809-8a~~ c~cv of Santa Moniea City Council Report City Council Meeting: December 8, 2009 Agenda Item: ~ ~}" To: Mayor and City Council From: Marsha Jones Moutrie, City Attorney Subject: Outdoor Dining Standards for Ocean Avenue Recommended Action Staff recommends that the Council consider whether the City's Outdoor Dining Standards for Ocean Avenue should be clarified to expressly prohibit roll down curtains. Executive Summary The City has adopted Outdoor Dining Standards which govern licensees' use of City sidewalks for outdoor dining. The standards applicable to Ocean Avenue do not expressly address roll down curtains. However, the City interprets the standards to prohibit them based, in part, on the fact that the standards for Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard do expressly prohibit roll downs. In the context of two enforcement actions, a dispute has arisen between the City and the owners of two Ocean Avenue restaurants as to whether roll down curtains are actually prohibited by the standards. In order to give the Council the opportunity to address the policy question, enforcement actions have been temporarily stayed; and the restaurant owners have agreed to keep the curtains rolled up (except during inclement weather). Background In the past 20 years, the Council has adopted three sets of outdoor dining standards that govern use of the public sidewalk by restaurants for various parts of the City. The three adopted standards are the Ocean Avenue Outdoor Dining Standards (adopted June 9, 1992), the Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard Outdoor Dining Standards (adopted 8/14/2001), and the Third Street Promenade Outdoor Dining Standards (adopted 4/25/2006). Pursuant to the Council's direction, City staff has also created a set of General Outdoor Dining Standards, which is applicable to areas of the City not covered by the other three adopted standards. These four Standards are attached to this report as Attachments A-D. 1 The Ocean Avenue Outdoor Dining Standards govern use of the public sidewalk along Ocean Avenue by restaurants that have licenses with the City. There are other restaurants along Ocean Avenue, which also use the public sidewalk for outdoor dining; but some of them have easements, and their use of the sidewalk is governed (for now) by the easements' terms. When those easements expire, they will be able to seek licenses which would also be governed by the Ocean Avenue Outdoor Dining Standards. The Ocean Avenue Outdoor Dining Standards limit the height of barriers that separate the dining area from the remainder of the sidewalk. However, they do not expressly prohibit roll down curtains. The Third Street Promenade Outdoor Dining Standards similarly lack any express prohibition of roll down curtains. The Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard Outdoor Dining Standards and the General Outdoor Dining Standards, on the other hand, expressly address roll down curtains and prohibit them in order to ensure that the streets remain pedestrian friendly. Based on the fact that the City's policies favor pedestrian orientation and the Ocean Avenue Standards' specification of a height limit for barriers, staff has consistently interpreted the Ocean Avenue Standards to prohibit roll down curtains. In recent years, the City has undertaken enforcement actions against the restaurants on Ocean Avenue that utilize the public sidewalk pursuant to City licenses and use roll down curtains to enclose their outdoor dining areas. The restaurant owners have disputed that the Ocean Avenue standards prohibit roll downs and have notified the City that they will challenge the en#orcement actions through administrative appeals and court action. Discussion The question of whether the present Ocean Avenue Standards prohibit roll down curtains is a matter of legal interpretation, which will be decided initially by a hearing 2 examiner and ultimately by a court. In contrast, the question of whether roll downs should be allowed on Ocean Avenue and, if so, under what conditions, is a matter of policy for the Council to consider and decide. The owners of the two restaurants contend that roll down curtains should be allowed on Ocean Avenue, even though they are not allowed on Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard, and in other parts of the City, because the public streets are situated differently. That is, Ocean Avenue runs along the eastern edge of Palisades Park, which is situated at the top of the bluffs. Thus, the owners contend that the sea breezes blow directly against their restaurants and render outdoor heaters ineffective during cold weather days. Accordingly, those owners argue that the roll downs are necessary to shield diners from the elements. In contrast, because Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard run east-west, the prevailing breezes do not so directly impact outdoor diners on those streets. Others contend that the comfort of those dining outdoors on Ocean Avenue can be ensured in ways other than completely enclosing parts of the public sidewalk. Legal staff recommends that the Council assess these competing policy considerations and give staff direction on clarifying or amending the Ocean Avenue Standards. Staff will effectuate that direction, returning to Council if necessary or so directed. Once the standards are clear, the restaurant owners will understand their responsibilities under the licenses and staff will proceed with enforcement as necessary. Additionally, the Council could take this opportunity to review the other three outdoor dining standards collectively and direct staff to return with possible modifications which could address policy issues or inconsistencies. With respect to the substantive policy considerations at issue regarding Ocean Avenue outdoor dining, Economic Development staff recommends that the Council give staff direction to investigate whether there are new types of materials that allow for full enclosure of the outdoor dining space while still keeping their transparency and 3 requiring restaurants to replace the material when it is no longer transparent. Economic Development staff further recommends that the Council consider a program whereby full enclosure is allowed during inclement weather (e.g. when the temperature is below certain degrees and/or when the wind is above certain knots). Planning staff believes that the inclement weather approach would be very difficult to enforce and recommends that the Council consider a program whereby full enclosure is allowed during a certain time period (e.g. December to March). Another policy consideration relates to the license fees that the City charges for use of the public sidewalk for outdoor dining purposes. As part of the Budget adoption on June 21, 2005, the Council adopted license fees (Resolution CCS 10046) for outdoor dining. The fees were based on an appraisal prepared in 2003, which determined that sidewalks should be valued as unimproved land, and then a capitalization rate should be applied against the unimproved land value to get the license fee value. The City currently charges $1.90 per square foot for outdoor dining uses along Ocean Avenue. The current rental fee may be significantly below market value. Thus, one could argue that the City charges this below market rent because outdoor dining areas are not intended for all-weather seating, and this low rent is being charged in exchange for the public benefits stemming from outdoor dining, such as the promotion of pedestrian activities. Accordingly, the City could charge a much higher rent in exchange for fully enclosed outdoor dining areas. The Council may wish to direct staff to evaluate the current fee study and return with recommendations and options. Alternatives If Council chooses to take no action to clarify or amend the Ocean Avenue Standards, staff will resume enforcement efforts based on the current standards and will defend the City's position in any administrative or judicial proceedings. 4 Financial Impacts & Budget Actions There are no direct, significant financial impacts attendant upon Council clarifying or setting policy as to the use of roll down curtains by restaurants on Ocean Avenue that have outdoor dining licenses. Enforcement work and legal defense will be handled by existing staff. Prepared by: Yibin Shen, Deputy City Attorney Attachments: A. Ocean Avenue Outdoor Dining Standards B.
