...Title

Code Amendments to Chapter 36 (Zoning) of the City Code and the Downtown (P-19) Precise Plan to Repeal the Sidewalk Café Program and Replace it with a New Outdoor Patio Program as Applied to Private Property to Allow for Outdoor Dining and Merchandise Displays in conformance with Proposed Design Guidelines of the Downtown Mountain View Outdoor Patio Standards/Guidelines that Will Apply to the Public Right-of-Way

...Recommendation

 

1. Find the proposed amendments to Chapter 36 (Zoning) of the City Code and the Downtown (P-19) Precise Plan text amendments to be exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as the amendments modify design guidelines and procedures to already-existing outdoor activities and make other minor code reference updates to be consistent with Chapter 36.

 

2. Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Repealing Article XV of Chapter 36 (Zoning) of the Mountain View City Code to Repeal Sidewalk Cafes in the Downtown Area; Amending Section 36.44.65 (Development Review Procedures) Related to Outdoor Dining and Merchandise Displays; and Amending Other Sections of Chapter 36 for Consistency and Minor Amendments (Exhibit 1 to the EPC Staff Report).

 

3. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Amending the Downtown (P-19) Precise Plan to Add an Outdoor Activities Section Authorizing Outdoor Dining and Merchandise Displays on Private Property; Repeal and Replace Sidewalk Cafe References with Outdoor Activities, and Make Other Minor Amendments (Exhibit 2 to the EPC Staff Report).
