The Town of Tiburon adopted a June 17, 2026 resolution creating a new fee structure and permitting framework for sidewalk dining in the public right-of-way for adjacent food service establishments. This follows the adoption of ordinance amendments to zoning and public works codes and authorizes an initial application/processing fee of 765 and an annual renewal fee currently set at 180, calculated from staff hourly rates across Building, Public Works, and Planning. The action formalizes a Sidewalk Dining Permit program, with reviews and inspections by multiple departments, and makes the updated fee schedule effective upon adoption of the related municipal code amendments.
