Exhibit A abutting merchants,(4)for uses by other commercial pursuits,and (5)for public events." For many years,the City has authorized,through the issuance of downtown activity permits,businesses within the DAZ to place cafe seating and other items related to their abutting businesses within the public pedestrian area.The proposed Rule has no impact on these types of permitted activities.The prohibition on impeding access to any public pedestrian area does not apply to authorized activities.Specifically,EC 4.872(l)(b)states: "Except when approved as a part of an authorized activity,the following acts are prohibited in the public pedestrian areas within the downtown activity zone:...(b)Impeding access to any public pedestrian area or to any public or private building adjacent to the public pedestrian area."(Underline added).The placement of cafe seating and other items allowed under currently adopted code and administrative rules are approved through the issuance of a downtown activity permit,thus,are excluded from the prohibition set forth in EC 4.872(l)(b).This is consistent with the Council-stated intent around uses of the DAZ's public pedestrian areas,thus,no change is being made to the proposed Rule as a result of these comments.
