Document Description
The proposed Al Fresco Ordinance would amend Sections 12.03, 12.10.5, 12.11.5, 12.12.2, 12.13, 12.13.5, 12.14, 12.21, 12.21.1, 12.22, 12.24, and 16.02.1 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to clarify and streamline Zoning Code regulations regarding outdoor dining on private property in the City of Los Angeles. As proposed, outdoor dining that complies with the applicable standards would be permitted as a by-right use in zones where restaurants are currently permitted. Any outdoor alcohol service would continue to require compliance with all applicable zoning regulations, as stated in an existing or new discretionary approval or in compliance with the proposed new ministerial approval. Specifically, the Ordinance contains new zoning regulations which provide a pathway for restaurants to move forward with the approval process for outdoor dining, including restaurants who are currently offering outdoor dining on private property under the Los Angeles Al Fresco Temporary Use Authorization (Temporary Authorization Program), as well as restaurants who would like to newly expand their outdoor dining operations.
