ANNUAL PARKING CAFE PERMIT
The City of Florence has created the Restaurant Parking Café Permit Program (FCC 8-2-4-1-C) to allow restaurants to expand their existing Sidewalk Café into the parking right-of-way to provide more outdoor seating for their restaurant patrons. This program is in coordination with the City of Florence’s current Sidewalk Café program (FCC 8-2-4-1-B), which permits restaurant seating in the pedestrian right-of-way. Restaurants who wish to participate in the Parking Café program must have a current Sidewalk Café permit and business license. The program will begin on May 1, and expire on October 30, weather permitting. Restaurants may apply for a permit before May 1; however, barriers will not be placed by the City of Florence’s Public Works department until after May 1.
