Outdoor parklets for restaurants and businesses inched one step closer to becoming a permanent part of San Francisco’s post-pandemic cityscape on Monday as the members of Board of Supervisors’ committee approved a slightly-modified version of the ordinance regulating the shared spaces.
The Board of Supervisors’ Land Use and Transportation Committee voted in favor of the program, tweaking it slightly to make formula retail chains ineligible for a two-year fee waiver that mom-and-pop businesses will enjoy. The fees range from $1,000 to $3,000 for a single parking space, depending on the type of parklet.
