Title

Rezoning #2023-00001

Public Hearing and consideration of a request for an amendment to the official zoning map to remove the King Street Outdoor Dining Overlay from the zoning ordinance.

Staff: City of Alexandria

 

Zoning Text Amendment #2023-00003

(A) Initiation of a Text Amendment; and (B) Public Hearing and consideration of a Text Amendment to delete Section 6-800 (King Street outdoor dining overlay zone) and all other ordinance references to the King Street outdoor dining overlay; delete Section 7-1500 (Outdoor display, sales or storage of goods or merchandise and outdoor dining in a parklet); delete all other ordinance references to parklets, outdoor dining on sidewalks in the public right-of-way and outdoor retail display and sales in the public right-of-way; amend Section 8-300 to waive parking requirements for outdoor dining in the Central Business District; and amend Articles III, IV, V, VI, XI to specify requirements for outdoor dining on private property.

Staff: City of Alexandria

 

The removal of the overlay represents a technical change and will not suspend outdoor dining along the King Street corridor. City staff has proposed that outdoor dining on the sidewalk now appear in City Code Section 5-2-29, which City Council will simultaneously review with this Rezoning on April 15, 2023.
