With temporary restrictions now in place on certain indoor business operations, including indoor dining, San Bernardino County has released guidelines for businesses in unincorporated areas that want to temporarily relocate indoor seating from a permitted facility for outdoor COVID-compliant dining. Rebecca Havely has the highlights…
Due to the temporary nature of the restrictions, relocating indoor seating to outdoors will be considered in substantial conformance with existing County permits. Only a courtesy COVID compliance/safety inspection is required.
A maximum of 50 percent on-site parking spaces may be converted to dining space.
Outdoor seating must maintain six feet of separation between tables.
Outdoor dining must not impede disabled access.
Temporary authorization from ABC is required for outdoor alcohol service.
Contact County Code Enforcement at 909-884-4056 for a courtesy inspection.
Businesses within the boundaries of Yucca Valley or Twentynine Palms need to contact the town or city for their requirements.
If you have any questions about these requirements before calling for an inspection, please go online or contact the Planning Division at (909) 387-8311.
