A Public Hearing on the Amendments to the Broadway Mall Ordinance <br /> regulating Sidewalk Cafes in Downtown Redwood City, (Section 33A of the <br /> Redwood City Code) (item continued from 9/23/02 meeting); <br /> <br /> Downtown Development Manager Moeller read a quote pertaining to sidewalk <br /> cafes. She stated that sidewalk caf6s are wonderful and a part of every successful <br /> and vital downtown. The City Council originally adopted the sidewalk caf6 <br /> ordinance, or the Broadway Mall ordinance as it was called, in 1977, allowing the <br /> public sidewalk at that time to be used for that purpose. A few revisions to the <br /> ordinance have occurred, the last one being six years ago. The current proposed <br /> amendments are intended to clarify this ordinance and the Council's intent. <br /> <br /> She further stated that as the Council deliberates, there are three principles to <br /> keep in mind in terms of sidewalk caf6s and downtowns. One is the public spaces <br /> policy adopted by the Council in September 2001. The second, is the principle that <br /> what attracts PeOPle to an area is other people. The third principle is that <br /> successful downtowns share customers. In conclusion, she stated that sidewalk <br /> cafes help strengthen the fabric of downtown, contribute to the vitality and the <br /> success of downtown, and help downtown businesses expand their customer base <br /> by sharing customers. <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 7, 2002 <br />MINUTES PAGE 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
