Temporary Patios and Retail Spaces on Private Property

If your business wishes to erect a seasonal patio or retail space on private property, you can do so by applying for a Development/Building Permit. City Administration will review and refer applications to relevant agencies for approval. If alcohol will be served on the patio, approval must be obtained from SLGA.

Your application should include:

• Site Plan – indicating dimensions and if applicable, number of private parking stalls utilized
• Seating Capacity
• Any structures or enclosures that will be erected (ie. decks or tents)
