Seasonal Outdoor Patios
On May 16, 2022, Council meeting, Council approved Bylaw 23/2020, being amendment 22 to Traffic Bylaw 18/2005. The amendment approves changes to Traffic Bylaw 18/2005 that established a permitting process enabling businesses to set up seasonal outdoor patios on City-owned land.
- The process is available to any business in downtown St. Albert and permits unfenced seasonal patios abutting right up to store-fronts on City-owned road right-of-way.
- Alcohol sales may be permitted subject to full compliance to Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) requirements, and the permitted area is directly adjacent and connected to the building.
- There were no fees for permits.
- This will not be done on a cost-sharing basis; therefore, any costs incurred for the set-up of a seasonal patio will be borne fully by the businesses themselves.
Those businesses interested in pursuing the installation of a temporary patio on private property, are required to obtain the necessary permit(s), and comply with the provisions of Land Use Bylaw 9/2005.
