“The mission will be to bring outdoor dining recommendations to formalize the policies back to this council,” said McCann, adding that rules would apply “for the entire city. It will be from the bayfront to Broadway to Third Avenue to the eastern side.” “We want to make sure we’re attracting many of those visitors into our city to be able to have them enjoy our restaurants and our businesses to be able to bring in revenue for them and to help create jobs,” said McCann.
Since the pandemic, Chula Vista has extended its temporary program that allowed bars and breweries to serve food with al fresco dining. The city began tightening restrictions in 2021 when it ordered establishments to remove their structures or replace them with appropriately designed and constructed setups within the public right-of-way that are permitted and ADA-compliant. With federal stimulus dollars, the city allocated $300,000 to reimburse businesses for their outdoor areas.
