RECOMMENDATION

At the December 9, 2015 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2015-29244 approving a Washington Avenue Pilot Parklet Program, inclusive of design guidelines and a permitting process, in order to allow businesses along Washington Avenue to install temporary parklets in the right-of-way for a duration of one (1) year.

On March 9, 2016, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2016-4003 which abated sidewalk café permit fees for businesses participating in the Washington Avenue Pilot Parklet Program and extended the Program to March 31, 2019.

At the May 17, 2017 City Commission meeting, there was a discussion held regarding interested businesses. At this meeting was the first annual update. There had been some interest, but no applications had been submitted. The Commission directed the Administration to come back to City Commission in May 2018 with a progress report on the Washington Avenue Pilot Parklet Program.

ANALYSIS
