Subject: [Massplanners] Outdoor Dining Process & Oversight Questions

Good morning everyone,

Shrewsbury is looking to streamline and clarify some of our regulations around outdoor dining (with service, not just seating) for a post-COVID world. We would really appreciate some help with answering any or all of the following questions as we continue to collect more information:

  *   What level and/or type of review is required for outdoor dining in your municipality? Special Permit or Site Plan? Planning Board, ZBA, or Administrative Site Plan Review?

  *   What kind of application materials are required for outdoor dining? Engineered Site Plans etc.?

  *   Does 3-season outdoor seating factor into calculating the minimum required number of parking spaces for a restaurant?

  *   Is outdoor seating allowed to occupy existing parking spaces and, if yes, how is it regulated?

Many thanks in advance for any replies!

Best,


Bernard Cahill
