Provide policy direction to staff on the following matters to guide development of a long­term framework for outdoor dining in Laguna Beach: a.

Whether to maintain or lift the current moratorium on new parklet applications pending further policy development; c. Whether to transition toward sidewalk­based outdoor dining consistent with AB 413 and the results of the City’s preliminary design study; and d. Whether to revise the existing fee structure to ensure equity and cost recovery for both public and private property uses. 2.
