The attached Planning Official determination outlines a program approved by  Temporary Use Permit for temporary signs and operations available to our businesses without a permit, which will further our businesses’ ability to operate in a safe way during the COVID pandemic, including:

1. Temporary Signage: A-Frame/Menu Board, Flag and Banner signs

2. Outdoor Retail Sales & Restaurant Seating

3. Small Tents to expand outdoor operations

In addition to the above, this Council item seeks authorization for the following according to the guidance established in the determination:

4. The above operations within City rights-of-way (i.e. on sidewalks)

Only the Council may allow these activities within City rights of way, specifically for food and merchandise sales, per Section 54.27-1(f) of the Municipal Code.  This package is part of a larger coordinated City of Orlando "COVID Economic Recovery Initiative" effort that is being advanced in phases with State requirements.

Acceptance of the Planning Official determination for temporary signs, outdoor sales and restaurant seating, and small tents, and Council authorization for the use of the City’s rights-of-way consistent with the elements of this program.
