The San Marcos City Council approved an emergency ordinance to issue permits for parklets as a means to reactivate downtown following the COVID-19 shutdowns during Tuesday's meeting.
The licenses would allow businesses to temporarily convert on-street parking spaces adjacent to their shop into outdoor seating. The temporary licenses will have no application fee and will follow an expedited approval process.
Businesses may use the parklets to serve food and alcohol or function as a retail space as long as the operators have read and comply with Gov. Greg Abbott’s COVID-19 requirements for restaurants and retail spaces.
