City of San Diego proposes “Spaces as Places” program to transition pandemic-related outdoor spaces to permanent spaces
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in July 2020 the City of San Diego approved a Temporary Outdoor Business Operations (TOBO) permit process allowing businesses to use outdoor spaces, including sidewalk areas and parking spots, to operate their business. The City has now proposed a Spaces as Places program “to transition temporary pandemic-response outdoor spaces to permanent spaces that safely bring people together to dine, play and gather.”
