Fiscal Note
The proposed ordinance amendment creates Sidewalk Café and Roadway Café Expansion Licenses and establishes their fee structure, which is specified on page nine of the attachment titled “69380 Body.” This amendment allows the expansion of sidewalk cafes into the roadway, making permanent many aspects of the “Streatery” program. No other existing vending license fees are affected.
Based on the number of parking spaces used for “Streatery” cafés in 2020 and the average revenue for downtown spaces, the estimated revenue lost by the Parking Utility for the proposed café program is $38,000, after accounting for the new roadway café revenue. The proposed fee structure will generate approximately $72,000 for the Parking Utility with some additional revenue being realized by nearby parking ramps as vehicles are diverted from on-street parking. The General Fund is projected to realize additional revenue for administrative costs: $19,000 through Traffic Engineering and $15,000 through the Economic Development Division. No additional City appropriation is required for the proposed ordinance amendment.
