Committee of the Whole
Agenda Item: Discussion Regarding the Private Use of Public Right-of-Way for
Outdoor Dining
Type: Discussion
Report From: Administration
Introduction
On June 17, 2025, staff presented the Committee of the Whole with an overview of the
Village’s current regulations governing outdoor dining and private use of the public right-of-
way. The Committee directed staff to review the regulations and consult with business
owners who currently utilize right-of-way areas for outdoor dining.
The Village currently permits the use of the public right-of-way for certain purposes in limited
circumstances, including outdoor dining, parking, and signage. For discussion purposes,
staff will present an overview of existing private uses of the public right-of-way within the
Village, the requirements applicable to those uses, and potential modifications to the
Village’s current policies governing right-of-way use by private entities.
