A. Request of Mayor Pro Tem Zwick and Councilmember Negrete that, in furtherance of the city’s
economic revitalization strategy, the City Council direct the City Manager and City Attorney to
analyze and present options for supporting retail-to-restaurant and hospitality conversions.
Specifically, the city analysis should include options for a pilot program that would waive, reduce, or
defer fees for qualifying conversion projects, including outdoor dining and wastewater/sewer-related
fees, as well as provide other financial incentives and support for tenant improvements—including
grease interceptors, ventilation, ADA upgrades, fire/life safety, and utility modifications—that impede
conversions of retail spaces into restaurant uses
