If approved by City Council, businesses with sidewalk cafés would pay a one-time fee instead of an annual fee. Proposed rules would require five feet of clearance for accessibility and emergency exits, property-owner consent when applicable, and an updated permit for existing businesses; valid existing permits would have the fee waived. The board also discussed a future arts and cultural district designation and related funding and map approvals.
