Description of Program and Relief
Free Outdoor Dining Permits Through L.A. Al Fresco
The City of Los Angeles, through L.A. Al Fresco, aims to help local businesses reopen and allow customers and employees to maintain physical distancing, by temporarily relaxing the rules that regulate outdoor dining. The program temporarily authorizes no-cost outdoor dining and street vending for 1) on-street dining (e.g., curbside, closed streets) and 2) sidewalk and expanded outdoor private property dining (e.g., private parking lots, street parking spaces or parklets). L.A. Al Fresco provides 90-day permits to local restaurants and vendors with no limits on renewals.
L.A. Al Fresco will also provide barricades, planters, and umbrellas for eligible businesses in newly permitted spaces. Participating businesses will gain access to pro bono architectural and landscape design services to help them adapt their operations and aesthetics to these new outdoor dining areas. Fifty-five percent of program resources will be directed to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) businesses or businesses located in areas that have experienced disproportionate job loss due to COVID-19.
