At an upcoming meeting, the City Council will consider the creation of a subcommittee that will explore ideas for a citywide outdoor dining policy.
A group gathers in parklet outside 3 Punk Ales Brewing Co. along Third Avenue on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024 in Chula Vista, CA. Chula Vista may consider a citywide outdoor dining ordinance, but first it is ordering the removal of several parklets from its buzzing downtown avenue.
Besides Third Avenue, he envisions seeing sidewalk or sidewalk-adjacent setups by the forthcoming bayfront hotel and convention center, Broadway and east Chula Vista. McCann said the city could take ideas from other cities with outdoor dining policies. To help businesses with the changes, the city used $300,000 in federal stimulus dollars to develop a grant program that would reimburse businesses for the costs of designing, permitting and constructing their setups along the avenue.
Gonzalo Quintero, co-owner of Vogue Tavern on Third Avenue and president of the Downtown Chula Vista Association, believes the mayor’s interest in expanding outdoor dining is a great opportunity for the local economy and patrons. But he finds it unnecessary to remove his outdoor deck while the city moves toward the development of an ordinance.
