Application Fee

All applicants, whether approved or denied, will be charged an application fee for costs that cover city staff time to process and review each application. Application fees will not be refunded.

Annual Encroachment Lease Fee

Prior to permit issuance and each year thereafter, the permittee shall pay an annual encroachment lease fee, calculated based on the number of parking spaces used under the permit. The annual fee will be prorated on a monthly basis for any partial year. Annual fees not paid by the date due will be subject to removal. Annual fees will not be refunded.

Deposit

A Streetary Permittee is required to pay a refundable one-time deposit prior to issuance of a Streetary Encroachment Permit. The City may use all or any portion of the deposit to ensure proper removal of the Streetary and any resulting damage to City property caused by its removal.

The balance of the deposit will be refunded upon removal of the Streetary or a change in operator of the Streetary, provided that the Streetary is in full compliance with these Standards.

Other Costs – Wheel Stops and White Traffic Delineators

Pursuant to Section II(C), applicants are responsible for the cost of purchasing and installing wheel stop and white traffic delineators, which will be added as an additional cost at the time of application approval. Payment and installation of wheel stops and white traffic delineators must occur prior to any construction of the Streetary.
