resolution without written guidelines on parklets in place. The Commission recommended to <br /> waive the conditional use permit fee entirely and added a section about administrative review. <br /> Assistant Director Swallow provided more details on the recommendations from Planning <br /> Commission as follows: <br /> • The Commission voted 2-3 to keep reference to parklets in the resolution and asked <br /> for additional guidance on parklets. <br /> • The Commission discussed the end time of outdoor dining and concluded that 10:00 <br /> p.m. was appropriate. <br /> • The Commission provided a method for submissions to be reviewed administratively <br /> in lieu of ABR to save time and ensure that applicants do not have to go through two <br /> public meetings. Administrative review will include review by Building, Public <br /> Safety and the City Engineer. <br /> Assistant Director Swallow shared her view on the inclusion of parklets in the legislation. She <br /> stated that the original language could also accommodate parklets. She expressed concern that <br /> installation of parklets on state and county roads could jeopardize funding. Because the City has <br /> not set guidelines for parklets, the Planning Commission will have to decide on a case by case <br /> basis. Making decisions this way could set the City up for legal scrutiny. She suggested that <br /> Council enact the legislation without the language on parklets, while taking the time to establish <br /> a set of standards and procedures for parklets. <br /> President O'Malley expressed agreement with Assistant Law Director Swallow. He stated that <br /> while he appreciates the idea of parklets that issues of legality, safety, and neighborhood <br /> tranquility must be examined before Council gives parklets a full-throated endorsement. He <br /> expressed confidence that Council will be able to overcome concerns quickly but that he is not <br /> comfortable moving forward without any regulations. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Shachner and seconded to substitute Sub.
