Council approves expanded outdoor dining at Bonta Bakery on Fifth Avenue South
Summary
Council unanimously approved petition 25‑OD7 allowing Bonta Bakery to expand outdoor dining from eight to ten tables (20 chairs) at 824 Fifth Avenue South; staff and the fire department approved the revised life‑safety plan.
The City Council unanimously approved an outdoor‑dining petition Wednesday allowing Bonta Bakery, at 824 Fifth Avenue South, to add two tables and four chairs to previously approved outdoor seating, bringing the total to 10 tables and 20 chairs.
Why it matters: The bakery lies within the Fifth Avenue Overlay District, which the city's land‑development code treats as exempt from additional parking requirements for outdoor dining. Staff said the bakery's revised life‑safety plan was approved by the fire department and that no adverse comments were received from police or code enforcement.
Staff report and vote: Planning staff confirmed prior approvals and said the design review board will consider a linked design petition on June 25. The council moved and voted to approve petition 25‑OD7; the vote was unanimous.
Implementation: The petitioner must comply with the life‑safety layout as approved and with any design review conditions expected from the separate DRB hearing.
