Document Description
A Limited Term Permit and Coastal Development Permit to allow an existing temporary outdoor dining patio to remain for a limited term at Five Crowns Restaurant. The expanded 1,350-square-foot outdoor dining area including a 850-square-foot canopy was originally approved by an Emergency Temporary Use Permit (ETUP) in 2020 as a temporary addition to their existing outdoor dining during the pandemic. The outdoor dining area will include live entertainment and will close by 10:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 11:00 p.m., Friday through Sunday. The Limited Term Permit and Coastal Development Permit would allow the temporary use to remain for one year from the date of approval, with a possible one-year extension.
