Permit information coming out from the city conflicted with regulations from the California Coastal Commission which hadn\u2019t certified any new laws or regulations which would be required under the Local Coastal Programs. The City Council told some business owners that they couldn\u2019t issue the permits but still said to keep them up. The resulting chaos led to frustration and confusion by many as they were told to get other permits such as a \u201cright-of-way\u201d permit or just wait, leaving businesses to muddle through the red-tape and regulations themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the deadline has long passed, many of those businesses have neither applied for the permit nor taken down their outdoor structures. The convoluted permit scheme has resulted in further disarray and confusion. Commenting on how to get the permit, Angela Landsberg, former Executive Director of the North Park Main Street Association stated, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe (permanent) permit is huge and cumbersome and requires professional guidance. Even the average, educated, permit-savvy person would have an almost impossible time going through the permit.\u201d One business owner and lawyer expressed frustration after she applied for the permit, but the city stated she would have to take down her establishment anyway to repaint bike lanes. \u201cI\u2019m a lawyer. When I looked at the Spaces as Places program, I was like, \u2018who the heck is going to be able to figure this out?\u2019\u201d, Virginia Morrison, proprietor of the Second Chance Beer Company stated. Further adding, \u201cI have no intention of removing my (outdoor dining structure).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lajollalight.com\/news\/story\/2022-06-19\/update-spaces-as-places-applications-being-processed-for-outdoor-dining-in-coastal-zone-san-diego-says\">La Jolla Light Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voiceofsandiego.org\/2022\/07\/15\/deadline-to-remove-unpermitted-outdoor-dining-has-passed-but-theyre-still-standing\/\">Voice of San Diego Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 5, 2022 Soon after local and national leaders implemented dining restrictions due to Covid, restaurants had to find a way to survive the mandates put in place.\u00a0 Under an emergency ordinance and in order to adapt and continue food service, many restaurants built outdoor dining areas to accommodate customers during the pandemic \u00a0 As&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6265,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-covid-19","category-economy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New &quot;Spaces as Places&quot;
