Al Fresco Permit Program

Al Fresco Permit Deadline Extension

We successfully advocated for an extension of the Al Fresco permit application deadline from July 31, 2024 until December 31, 2024. The process of obtaining these permits has been very difficult, and many local restaurants need help navigating the complexities involved. As a result, very few permanent al fresco permits have been successfully issued, jeopardizing our small business community, and local economic stability. 

The immediate threat to our Al Fresco Dining Program. The revised LA City Planning Ordinance passed through PLUM, and it addressed many of the important areas we initiated.
