RECOMMENDATION:

5:31 p.m. Public Hearing to consider adopting an Ordinance amending the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Volume 1, Chapter 10, Article I, Section 10-11, related to Dog Friendly Dining Establishments.

Recommendation: That the Board adopt an Ordinance amending the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Volume 1, Chapter 10, Article I, Section 10-11, related to Dog Friendly Dining Establishments.

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 509 of Florida Statutes authorizes local governments, as an exemption to certain regulations of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, to allow public food service establishments licensed by the division to offer dog-friendly outdoor dining areas. Participating local governments must have procedures to accept, document, and respond to complaints, and must make timely reports to the division documenting the complaint responses and any approved exemption applications. Amending the Code of Ordinances is necessary to implement recent amendments to the Land Development Code related to dog-friendly outdoor dining.
