12.14.070 Application and Issuance of License:
A. An application for a sidewalk use license shall be filed with the Community Development Department. All applications must be submitted at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the proposed use of the sidewalk. Each application shall include, at a minimum, the following information pertaining to the proposed use:
1. A scale drawing showing the dimensions of the structure that would occupy the sidewalk along with the specific location of the sidewalk.
2. A description of the use including the duration for the use.
3. Evidence showing the applicant owns the property or has an interest in the property immediately adjoining the sidewalk.
4. All other information that may be required by the Community Development Director to process the application.
5. Payment of the license processing fee, if required.
B. The Community Development Director or his or her designee shall review the application to determine whether the information required is sufficient and to determine whether the proposed use is consistent with this chapter. The application shall be circulated to other city departments for comments. If the application is found to be consistent with the requirements under this chapter, then the Community Development Director or his or her designee may issue the license and impose conditions as necessary to protect the public health and safety while preserving the structural integrity of the sidewalk. If the application for a license is denied, then the applicant may appeal the denial under the appellate process provided for in this chapter.
C. A license shall be issued for a specified period, unless otherwise revoked, but in no event shall the license be for a period of more than one (1) year. If the licensee wishes to continue to use the sidewalk beyond the time prescribed under the license then the licensee may apply for a renewal of the license within thirty (30) working days prior to the expiration of the license.
