Design Standards Sidewalk Cafés In order to remain consistent with the City of Charleston’s objective of developing attractive outdoor dining spaces, including the furniture, objects, structures and décor associated therewith, in as much that applicants desiring to use public space for semiprivate use as outdoor cafés are enhancing the private interests of their enterprise as well that of the City, the following design standards shall apply to establishments seeking permission to erect sidewalk cafés throughout the City of Charleston. I.
Space and clearances. A sidewalk café shall only be permitted on a sidewalk with a minimum width of ten (10’) feet from the property line to face of curb. The area designated for the sidewalk café shall be considered an extension of the franchise; therefore, the location of the sidewalk café must be directly in front of the franchise. In the interest of public safety, any location where there is a traffic lane adjacent to the sidewalk, a sidewalk café shall only be permitted on a sidewalk with a minimum width of fifteen (15’) feet from the property line to face of curb. A sidewalk café is required to maintain a clear pedestrian path of five feet (5’) minimum at all times. In areas of higher pedestrian traffic or activity, or in conditions that suggest the need for additional clearance, a clear pedestrian path greater than five feet may be required. On sidewalks with an adjacent traffic lane, the clear pedestrian path is required to be a minimum of ten (10’) feet at all times. This such area shall be free of any obstructions such as trees, parking meters, utility poles and the like in order to allow adequate pedestrian movement. Sidewalk cafés shall not interfere with any utilities or other facilities such as telephone poles, fire hydrants, signs, parking meters, mailboxes, or benches located on the sidewalk or public right-of-way. The sidewalk café may not impinge on any required clear distances for maneuvering around entrances or exits. The outdoor dining area shall be accessible to disabled patrons and employees, and buildings adjacent to these areas shall maintain building egress as defined by the current building code. When a sidewalk café is located at a street corner, vision clearance requirements shall be in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance of Charleston, Section 54-351. When a sidewalk café is adjacent to an alley or driveway, these regulations may also be applied. These requirements may be modified at the discretion of the zoning administrator in locations where unusual circumstances exist and where public safety could be jeopardized.
3
II.
Furniture, objects, structures and décor. Tables, chairs, umbrellas, awnings, barriers and any other object associated with a sidewalk café (“Sidewalk Café Elements”) shall be of quality design, materials and workmanship both to ensure the safety and convenience of users and to enhance the visual and aesthetic quality of the urban environment. All Sidewalk Café Elements shall be reviewed by the zoning administrator and the City’s Design Review Committee as a part of the sidewalk café permitting process. In reviewing Sidewalk Café Elements, the Design Review Committee shall consider their character and appropriateness of design including but not limited to scale, texture, materials, color and the relation of the Sidewalk Café Elements to the adjacent establishments, to features of structures in the immediate surroundings, as well as to the streetscape and adjacent neighborhood(s), if applicable. Tables and chairs for sidewalk dining shall be placed in the area designated for sidewalk dining only. Appropriate density of tables and chairs is to be reviewed by the zoning administrator and Design Review Committee, and may be affected by specific conditions of the location. Table sizes should be kept to a minimum so as not cause crowding, a disturbance or a nuisance. Permanent structures in sidewalk cafés are not permitted. All furniture, umbrellas or other Sidewalk Café Elements shall not be attached permanently to the sidewalk or public right-of-way. The permittee shall be responsible for the restoration of the sidewalk or public right-of-way if any damage is caused as a result of the issuance of the sidewalk café permit. Paper products for the consumption of food or beverages are not permitted at sidewalk cafés.
III.
Overhead structures Umbrellas and any type of temporary overhead structure may be utilized if approved by the zoning administrator upon a favorable recommendation by the Design Review Committee as a part of the sidewalk café permitting process. The use of overhead structures over the outdoor dining areas and removable umbrellas may be permitted provided they do not interfere with street trees. No portion of the umbrella shall be less than seven feet (7’) above the sidewalk. Umbrellas and any type of overhead structure shall be designed to be secure during windy conditions and shall be weather resistant. Awnings, either permanent or temporary, may be utilized if approved by the zoning administrator upon a favorable recommendation by the Design Review Committee and the Board of Architectural Review, if applicable, as a part of the sidewalk café permitting process. Awnings shall have no support posts
4
located within the public right-of-way, and no portion of an awning shall be less than eight feet (8’) above the sidewalk. A building permit must be obtained prior to the installation of an awning and is subject to all applicable code sections of the Code of the City of Charleston. IV.
Signage. Signs advertising sale of goods or services at a sidewalk café shall be prohibited. This prohibition includes but is not limited to sandwich boards, banners, writing or signs as part of the furniture or on umbrellas, pamphlets, podiums, or any other Sidewalk Café Element containing a sign or advertisement. Menus shall be restricted to a maximum size not to exceed 9” wide and 12” long and shall be secured to tabletops or designed in order to prevent debris. A sign posted in a visible location is required at every sidewalk café, which states, “It is unlawful to consume alcoholic beverages not purchased at permittee’s establishment or its sidewalk café or to remove alcoholic beverages from the sidewalk café.”
V.
Lighting. Lighting for sidewalk cafés may be utilized if approved by the zoning administrator upon a favorable recommendation by the Design Review Committee as a part of the sidewalk café permitting process. Any such lighting shall compliment the existing building and sidewalk café design and shall not cause a glare to passing pedestrians or vehicles. Electrical wires shall not be permitted to access the sidewalk café area. Possible lighting sources include tabletop candles or low wattage battery operated fixtures. Additional lighting may be attached to the permittee’s adjacent establishment provided permittee obtains all necessary approvals for such lighting from the City and the Board of Architectural Review, if applicable.
VI.
Outdoor heaters. Outdoor heaters may be utilized upon the approval of the zoning administrator upon a favorable recommendation by the Design Review Committee as a part of the sidewalk café permitting process.
VII.
Vending machines, carts prohibited. No vending machines, carts, or objects for the sale of goods shall be permitted in a sidewalk café
5
VIII.
Service and use All services provided to patrons of a sidewalk café and all patron activity (i.e., sitting, dining, waiting, etc.) shall occur within the designated sidewalk café area, and shall not impinge on the required clear distance for pedestrian passage at any time. No alcoholic beverages may be stored or mixed in the sidewalk café area. Equipment necessary for the dispensing of any other items should be reported as part of the operation of the sidewalk café and is subject to review. The franchise must provide supervision of the sidewalk café area to ensure the conduct of patrons and operations of the area are in compliance with this ordinance at all times.
IX.
Insurance required Each permittee of a sidewalk café permit shall furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than $600,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 in the aggregate combined single limit, for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability. The insurance shall provide for 30 days prior written notice to be given to the City of Charleston if coverage is substantially changed, canceled or nonrenewed. The City of Charleston shall be named as an additional insured on a primary, noncontributory basis for any liability arising directly or indirectly from the operation of a sidewalk café; and the permittee shall indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from any loss that results directly or indirectly from the permit issuance or the operation of the sidewalk café. In addition, if alcoholic beverages will be served at the sidewalk café, the permittee shall provide proof of liquor liability insurance for the sidewalk café, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 in such type as shall be acceptable to the City. Each permittee shall maintain the insurance coverage required under this section during the permit period. The certificate(s) of insurance shall be presented to the zoning administrator prior to the issuance of a permit under this section. Failure of the permittee to maintain the insurance required by this section shall result in the revocation of the sidewalk café permit. In order to receive a permit for a sidewalk café on a public right-of-way, the applicant must demonstrate that the provisions of these guidelines will be met. Documentation demonstrating that the provisions of this guideline will be complied with must accompany the application in order
6
to receive a permit. A sidewalk café permit will not be issued to a permittee until after the zoning administrator and the Fire Marshall have conducted a site inspection of the approved sidewalk café and all Sidewalk Café Elements placed therein to ensure that the sidewalk café and all Sidewalk Café Elements are in compliance with the approved permit and that the permittee is in compliance with all other requirements of the permit.
