The Del Mar City Council extended a series of measures intended to assist businesses through the difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The action was taken at the council’s March 1 meeting.
With those measures set to expire on April 6, council members decided to grant an extension through March 2022. The extension applies to COVID-related temporary encroachment permits and temporary use permits, increases of a business fee subsidy from $750 to $1,000, allowing two-way A-frame signs per business, and use of on-street parking for dining and other uses, among other measures.
Council members originally considered granting the extension through this September before pushing it through next March.

Dozens of restaurants took advantage of a streamlined permitting process for temporary patios this summer, and now at least two local spots have been granted approval to make them a permanent fixture.
Detroit’s Finest Coney Island, 25801 Jefferson Ave., constructed an outdoor patio area in response to the COVID-19 pandemic this summer, when the city allowed any bar or restaurant to do so on a temporary basis as a way to accommodate customers during the pandemic. But owner Gjelosh Marjakaj came before City Council Nov. 16 to make the 1,450-square foot patio permanently available for customers.
