A Discretionary Use application has been submitted by the City of St. John’s for Outdoor Eating Areas and Lounges in various locations Downtown during 2020.
The area for potential Outdoor Eating Areas and Lounges will be located along applicable sidewalks and parking areas in the Downtown from: Temperance Street at Duckworth Street intersection to New Gower Street at Hamilton Avenue intersection and along Duckworth Street and New Gower Street to the Harbour; and from New Gower Street at Hamilton Avenue intersection to Leslie Street at Blackhead Road intersection along Water Street, within any commercial downtown zone where these uses can be considered.
The City wishes to allow the use of these areas by business to expand their operations, especially as social distancing is required during the covid-19 pandemic. The use of these spaces will be subject to a lease agreement with the City, which will outline the size of the space, hours of operation for the outdoor patios, and other requirements. Businesses within the “Downtown Mall” area will be able to lease this space outside the set mall hours.
One (1) submission attached.
