During the meeting, it was confirmed that Chapa Paisa seeks to install four tables, each with three chairs, in a designated area separated from the sidewalk by a railing to avoid interference with foot traffic. The outdoor seating is intended to operate from 11 AM to 8:30 PM, with no intention to serve alcohol outside unless further approvals are obtained. The restaurant will ensure compliance with all relevant safety and sanitation codes and has plans to install appropriate lighting to ensure safety during darker hours.

The committee discussed the need for consistency with the city’s existing outdoor dining permits, referencing the example set by Lost Shoe Brewing and Flying Dreams Brewing. It was emphasized that the legal department should draft a permit that aligns with these existing licenses to ensure fairness among Main Street businesses.
