REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />MAY 7, 2019 <br />TITLE: <br />APPROVE A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH <br />EAST END REALTY PARTNERSHIP, LP, <br />AND WURSTHAUS, INC. FOR <br />TEMPORARY OUTDOOR DINING <br />ACTIVITIES AT PLAZA CALLE CUATRO IN <br />THE AMOUNT OF $636 <br />{STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL 3, NO. 3 & 4} <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 1� Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />CITY M NAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a license agreement with East <br />End Realty Partnership, LP, and Wursthaus, Inc. to conduct temporary outdoor dining activities <br />within Plaza Calle Cuatro, in the amount of $636 for the period of May 7, 2019 to November 6, <br />2019, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The property owner of the property located at 301-305 East 4th Street (East End Realty <br />Partnership, LP) requested the City to consider approving a license agreement (Exhibit 1) to <br />permit outdoor dining activities within a city -owned property currently used as an outdoor public <br />plaza maintained by the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency in Downtown Santa <br />Ana. The goal of staff and the property owner is to enhance the Downtown environs and to <br />evaluate if outdoor dining is feasible in the Plaza. <br />While the City has an Ordinance permitting outdoor dining in Downtown, it is limited to public <br />sidewalks. The width of the sidewalk adjacent to the business is approximately 10 feet and is too <br />narrow to accommodate both pedestrian and outdoor dining activities. The proposal is to allow <br />temporary outdoor dining activities associated with the Wursthaus to occur within Plaza Calle <br />Cuatro. The business has frontage to the Plaza and is located on the adjoining property to the <br />west of the Plaza. If approved, this proposed license agreement will not set a precedent for other <br />businesses in Downtown to make a similar request, as there are no other businesses in <br />Downtown with a frontage sharing a property line with this public plaza. Similar to other <br />agreements allowing outdooring dining within the public sidewalk in Downtown, the proposed <br />dining activity will not require additional parking as it is within Downtown and the users have <br />access to public parking structures. <br />25D-1 <br />
