DANVILLE, CA — The Danville Town Council unanimously voted Tuesday to extend the temporary operation of expanded outdoor restaurant dining on public and private property, including "parklets," until Jan. 2, 2025.

The extension is subject to adopted design and development standards, which focus on the overall design for the outdoor dining areas, offering options for modular prefabricated designs or custom design build options. Safety, maintenance and operation standards are also factors.
Previously issued temporary land use permits (TLUPs) allowing expanded outdoor dining are set to expire Jan. 3, 2023.

Restaurant operators wishing to continue offering expanded outdoor seating areas will need to apply for a new TLUP and building permit. Otherwise, all temporary tents, canopies, signs, electrical hookups, metal barricades and such must be removed from public and private property by Jan. 3.
