VI. ANNUAL STREETARY ENCROACHMENT PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION PROCESS
Permit Required
SRMC 11.70.020: Permit required. Any person desiring to erect, construct, place or maintain an encroachment upon any existing parking spaces within the public right-of-way for a streetary must first obtain an annual streetary encroachment permit pursuant to this chapter. Each applicant for an annual streetary encroachment permit shall comply with the requirements of this chapter, any other applicable laws, and any regulations and policies adopted pursuant to this chapter.
Permits shall only be issued to applicants with a valid business license issued by the city to operate a food service establishment directly adjacent to the parking spaces within the right-of-way for which a streetary encroachment permit is sought.
All persons operating and/or maintaining a streetary as of the effective date of this ordinance shall be required to obtain a streetary encroachment permit and pay applicable fees no later than December 1, 2022. Failure to obtain a streetary encroachment permit within this time period shall constitute a violation of this chapter and may subject the current streetary operator to closure and/or enforcement pursuant to this chapter.
Application Process
As streetaries are located in the public right of way, the Department of Public Works will be the lead department receiving application materials and issuing streetary permits. Public Works will coordinate with other relevant departments and communicate feedback and decisions to the applicant.
The City is committed to reviewing filed applications as expeditiously as possible and will endeavor to provide a response after an initial round of review within thirty business days. Further rounds of review may require additional time.
The Streetary Encroachment Permit Application will have two forms, one required and one optional:
