LL Euivillestiyof 2020 Louisville Downtown Patio Program Guidelines and Application Staff Contact: Megan Pierce 303.335.4531 mpierce@louisvilleco.gov The purpose of the Downtown Patio Program makes available outdoor patios within existing on -street parking spaces from approximately late April through early November (6 months). The program provides benefits to the community as a whole by encouraging an active streetscape, contributing to the City's positive image, and drawing residents and visitors to Downtown. Participating food and drink establishments benefit from added seating to accommodate demand for outdoor dining. General Guidelines: Placement: Patios will be placed: 1) within an existing on -street full parking stall; 2) adjacent to the leased or owned location of the business (i.e. on the street frontage) or be covered by an agreement with the adjacent tenant and landlord and complies with state regulations; and 3) In front of the establishment's primary street frontage (i.e. patios may not be placed on more than one street). Special situations will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis. Availability: Establishments that participated in the previous year's season are eligible to use the same linear footage of patio in 2020. Each establishment is able to request the maximum amount of patio allowed for the property identified in the attached table. If requests are greater than the supply of patios, City Staff will request to the City Council and partner organizations funding for additional patios. If funding is not available, establishments nearest an existing patio location will be first offered to rent the available patios until all patios are utilized. Cost: Annual rental fee for 12 linear feet of patio is $1,000, which defrays the City's operational costs to implement the program; you will receive an invoice after materials are submitted. Payments may be made in full by April 1, 2020. If payment becomes 30 days past due, the City will notify the business of delinquency, and if payment is not received within 15 days, the patio may be removed. License Agreement: All participating establishments need to execute a License Agreement for the use of the Public Right -of -Way, which is enclosed. Liquor License: Please remember to visit the City Clerk's Office to adjust your liquor license premises to accommodate the patios. This can now be aligned with your annual renewal. See the Clerk's Office for details.
