The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance to simplify the approval process for certain encroachments in the public right-of-way. This legislation establishes a registration requirement, replacing all previous permit requirements and associated fees for café tables and chairs, and display merchandise. Additionally, it eliminates minor encroachment permit requirements and right-of-way occupancy fees for appurtenant building features, such as ADA-compliant wheelchair lifts, utility fixtures, water spouts, standpipes, out-swinging doors, and security gates. The ordinance also amends the Administrative Code to exempt café tables, chairs, and display merchandise from the Shared Spaces Program. This measure is part of the city's broader "PermitSF" initiative aimed at streamlining government services and promoting economic recovery. The ordinance outlines conditions for these encroachments, including maintaining clear public pathways and specific display merchandise requirements. It also details enforcement mechanisms, administrative fines (up to $1,000 per day for repeat violations), and civil penalties (up to $500 per day). Property owners are required to maintain insurance and indemnify the City against any claims arising from the encroachments.
