1 Corporate Report Report from Planning and Building Services, Planning Services Date of Report: April 27, 2016 Date of Meeting: May 16, 2016 Report Number: PBS File: Subject: Expansion of Sidewalk Patio Program Recommendation That Council delegate authority to approve curbside patios to the Director of Transportation and Environmental Services, where such curbside patios comply with the design and operational standards for curbside patios outlined in Appendix 1 of this report; and That Council delegate authority to the Director of Transportation and Environmental Services to enter into agreements for curbside patios; and Further, that Legal Services be directed to prepare the necessary amendments to the City s Delegation By-law. FORTHWITH Summary The accommodation of sidewalk patios is consistent with the City s objectives to promote vibrant downtown streets and to support active commerce. Recent changes in Provincial liquor licensing standards provide an opportunity to expand the City s patios program to include licensed patios located adjacent to the curb across the sidewalk from the establishment. Also known as satellite patios, this curbside format provides a new option for businesses that front on narrow sidewalks or sidewalks which may be partially obstructed by trees or street lights. The proposed updated patio standards will allow more businesses to participate in the City s patio program. Background The City currently permits two types of sidewalk patios within the Downtown: conventional sidewalk patios, which are located adjacent to the storefront, and pop-up patios, which are located on raised platforms within the on-street parking lane. Conventional patios may be licensed for alcohol sales under the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and exclusive use by the establishment. These patios pay an annual licensing fee based on their size. Pop-up patios are located atop parking stalls, across the sidewalk from the establishment and cannot be licensed or enclosed for exclusive use. Report Page 1 of 9
2 In 2014, Council delegated the authority to approve new sidewalk patio and pop-up patio locations to the Director of Transportation and Environmental Services in order to help expedite the approvals process. Report The City supports the establishment of sidewalk patios within the Downtown as a means of promoting a sense of vibrancy, improving the pedestrian experience, and supporting commerce. Most of the streets within Downtown St. Catharines have narrow rights-of-way, and experience competing priorities for the limited space, including sidewalks, vehicle lanes, parking, utilities, landscaping, street furniture and patios. The first priority for sidewalk space is the provision of a clear and accessible pedestrian travel path typically at least 2.4 metres wide (8 feet). Where space permits, the City encourages the installation of conventional sidewalk patios (see Figure 1). Unfortunately, with the exception of parts of St Paul Street, most of the sidewalks within the Downtown are too narrow to accommodate a conventional patio while maintaining a sufficient clear pedestrian path. Figure 1: Conventional Sidewalk Patio Credit: City of Toronto Figure 2: Pop-Up Patio Credit: City of Toronto Therefore, in an effort to facilitate the installation of patios on street sections with undersized sidewalks, in 2012 Council approved the creation of the pop-up patio program which allows establishments to construct seasonal curb-side patio decks atop on-street parking lanes to aid in maintaining a clear sidewalk (see Figure 2). Uptake on this program has been low in part because of limitations on licensing for alcohol sales and table service across the public sidewalk, which limits their appeal to bars and restaurants. However, recent changes to Ontario s liquor licensing standards now provide a means to expand the City s sidewalk patio program to include more businesses. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has advised that they now permit the licensing of satellite patios patios that are located across the public sidewalk from Report Page 2 of 9
3 the licensed establishment, adjacent to the curb. These satellite or curbside patios may be installed on the sidewalk (Figure 3) and atop the parking lane (Figure 4). Where previously alcohol could not be served across the sidewalk, this practice is now permitted, with restrictions. The primary restriction being that only servers may transport alcohol across the sidewalk, not patrons. Bars and restaurants that provide full table service can now obtain licenses to operate curbside patios with the City s approval. Figure 3: Curbside Patio Credit: City of Toronto Figure 4: Curbside Patio with Parking Lane Credit: City of Toronto The inclusion of curbside patios as an additional patio option on Downtown streets is supported by staff. The curbside patio approach allows for a more efficient use of available sidewalk space by placing the clear pedestrian path adjacent to the storefronts and allowing the patio to occupy the same curb-side zone as trees, bike racks and street lights. This allows for a layering of desirable streetscape elements within the same furnishing zone. This patio arrangement is already popular in cities such as Montreal, and following introduction of the new Ontario regulations, has been implemented in both Burlington and Oakville. Staff have presented this information to the Downtown Development and Revitalization Advisory Committee (DDRAC). The Committee concurs with the staff recommendation and endorse expanding the City s patio program to include curbside patios. As a result of these changes, staff have prepared new design standards for curbside patios. These new standards build upon the City s existing design standards for sidewalk patios and pop-up café spaces, while introducing the AGCO s relevant licensing standards. Patio operators that want to license the space for alcohol sales or to otherwise secure the area for the use of their customers will be required to pay for this exclusive use in accordance with the City Schedule of Rates and Fees for sidewalk patios. Staff, however, recommend allowing businesses to install and maintain public seating areas in front of their establishment which are not fenced or used exclusively by their customers without an annual fee, in the same way that pop-up café spaces are already exempted. Report Page 3 of 9
4 Provided that the business owner agrees to maintain the patio as a public seating area in accordance with the operational restrictions for public use amenity spaces described in Appendix 1, they too would not be required to pay a fee for providing this community amenity. Financial Implications The City has an existing fee structure for sidewalk patios, including an application fee of $ and an annual space rental fee of $38.75 per square metre. This rate will also apply to new curbside patios. Additional patios will result in additional fees collected. Where patios occupy on-street parking stalls, some loss of parking revenue may occur, however, most parking users can be expected to simply park at another meter or at an alternative City parking facility, thereby still retaining those funds within the parking system. Relationship to Strategic Plan Economic sustainability objectives will be enhanced/achieved through: Supporting local business by providing new opportunities for Downtown restaurateurs and more efficiently utilizing our street assets. Social sustainability objectives will be enhanced/achieved through: Improving quality of life through the delivery of desirable amenities. Supporting a strong sense of community pride through the creation of active and vibrant Downtown streets. Conclusion Sidewalk patios support the creation of vibrant, pedestrian-oriented streets, while providing expanded opportunities for Downtown restaurateurs to serve their customers. By expanding the City s patio program to include curbside patios, the City can create patio opportunities for additional establishments. The expansion of the sidewalk patio program is consistent with the City s objective to support continued Downtown revitalization.
