The San Diego City Council adopted his plan to allow restaurants and retail stores to expand to sidewalks, parking lots, and on-street parking. The &#8220;Str-eateries and Street-ail&#8221; plan will allow expansion into on-street parking with no required fees and fast-tracks the approval process.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This builds on the Exec Order I signed last week to allow use of sidewalks &amp; parking lots for outdoor dining. <br \/>Included in the new ordinance:<br \/>\u2705 waiving of permit fees for ~500 businesses <br \/>\u2705 addition of on-street parking to the list of available spaces they can use<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/streateries?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#streateries<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kevin Faulconer (@Kevin_Faulconer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kevin_Faulconer\/status\/1283177070055448576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor space expansions are possible thanks to a recent executive order by Faulconer, which waived regulatory requirements that restaurant owners would otherwise have to abide by in order to expand outdoor dining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Our local restaurant and retail owners have shown incredible resolve and resilience throughout this pandemic. Many of those small businesses have been among the hardest hit and San Diegans are ready to support them safely and responsibly,&#8221; said Mayor Faulconer. &#8220;The response we\u2019ve seen to outdoor dining has been overwhelmingly positive, and this ordinance opens up so many more options for our small businesses as they work hard to rebound and recover.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ucffool\/8060981487\/in\/photolist-dhjCXr-b4k1J-cyZ3TE-9pQDo3-iYpa-8H1SkE-6bw73x-5AsqzF-2ggbm7q-axNc39-6GM9ad-2NkbzA-cV3Ntw-2hmU7gn-2ggbm4e-6PoZZr-6Pt9LJ-7WRNY1-5sXUbu-6Pp1gz-6Pt9Dy-6Pt9ts-6Pp1bZ-6Pp15M-8G9xc5-6Pt9BL-6Pt9vy-6Pt9Jm-6Pt9FQ-8G6mtz-2gbirGu-25shJFT-FEo4nh-2gbirKq-2hJnXm8-2i6FCgx-2gpD6eh-2e8vNcJ-9Gb5sX-2giYm9m-25shJQF-2i6Kawg-JnMFzn-26KUu41-2hJnXuz-Bgnd5f-2gpDqN3-2fyFnF1-2gpDr6Y-2hCGNuH\">Photo by UCFFool via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer recently responded to Gov.
