In addition, the City of Monterey highly encourages all businesses with temporary outdoor dining permits to attend one of two informational sessions being offered at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday, August 13, 2020. City staff will cover requirements for outdoor dining (sidewalk, private parking lots, and parklets on public parking spaces) including size, design, configuration, materials, accessibility, insurance, costs, application process, and mask requirements.

The City strongly recommends all current permit holders, as well as those interested in expanding outdoor dining and retail, to private parking spaces or parklets attend this important meeting.
