In order to promote a healthy relationship between your business, your customers, and the surrounding property owners, the Village has adopted specific regulations relating to outdoor dining. 

Outdoor Dining on Private Property
Outdoor Dining is permitted on the same zoning lot in conjunction with an established restaurant in the B3, B4, or B5/B5C zoning districts. A license agreement is not required if the dining area complies with Section 14.311 (B) (1) of the Zoning Code and is located entirely on private property.

Outdoor Dining on Public Property
A license agreement is required if the proposed outdoor dining area will be located on public property (i.e. pubic right-of-way). 

Not all businesses are able to provide outdoor dining due to the geographic constraints of their particular business. To determine if your business is able to provide outdoor dining, consult Section 14.311 of the Zoning Code, or contact the Community Development Department's Planning Division at (847) 818-5328.
