Code updates set standards for outdoor dining, display and fitness; temporary uses tiered

The Planning Commission package adds a new accessory‑uses section to the zoning code that spells out standards for outdoor dining, outdoor display/sales and outdoor fitness as accessory activities to on‑site businesses. Staff said outdoor dining is allowed accessory to eating establishments, may require a conditional‑use permit if within 50 feet of residential areas, and triggers parking only when outdoor seating exceeds 500 square feet. Outdoor fitness associated with a primary on‑site business would be limited to 1,000 square feet or 10% of indoor floor area (whichever is larger) and generally limited to 7 AM–7 PM unless extended by a CUP; equipment visible from the right‑of‑way must be removed or enclosed at the close of business unless design review allows otherwise.
