Can public streets, sidewalks, and other public areas be used for outdoor dining? Is there a fee?

Potentially. The use of public property is subject to obtaining a License Agreement from the City in addition to the required review, if any, for the proposed type of outdoor dining. Section 9277(f) of Ordinance No. 1526 (the updated outdoor dining regulations) describes additional requirements for Outdoor Seating Areas and Outdoor Dining Areas located within the public right-of-way. Costs for the License Agreement, if any, depend on the work proposed. Please contact a city planner at (714) 573-3140 or TustinPlanning@TustinCA.org to discuss if your proposal requires a License Agreement.
