Review Committee on August 13, 2002 and recommended for approval. As with the previous license agreement with the City for the sidewalk caf6 use on City Hall Plaza, these private encroachments on public land are considered temporary because they can be moved within hours of notice by the City. In addition, the original license agreement specifies that the pdmary use of the land must remain for public activities and that any use of the property for commercial purposes is secondary to the use of the plaza by the general public. The term of this license will be for one year, and automatically renew for an additional year unless revoked by the City or requested by the licensee. As in the previous agreement, the proposed flower stand cannot interfere with the City's use of the property as a public space and all related "improvements" must be removed within a 24 hours of notification by the City. In addition, the City reserves the right to rearrange the proposed location of the flower stand (as well as the outdoor seating) if it is determined by the City that the portable structure interferes with the public use, access and/or enjoyment of the space. Staff believes that the City Hall Plaza area will be enhanced by the proposed flower stand because it is compatible with the existing outdoor caf6 use, should attract more people downtown and contribute to the animation of this public space. The subject license agreement will function as a revocable permit, which will insure that the plaza remains public. Alternatives · Deny the license agreement, outdoor use of the proposed flower stand. · Modify and approve the license agreement.
