City of Taylor Emergency Ordinance Streamlines Outdoor Business Expansion
The City of Taylor has created and approved an emergency ordinance streamlining a business’s ability to expand use of outdoor property, events, signage and other activities related to governmental restrictions due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
All of this is being done consistent with the visions of Wayne County and the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber, according to Mayor Rick Sollars.
On Tuesday, June 2, City Council unanimously approved an emergency ordinance to temporarily permit City officials to waive strict compliance with various codes and ordinances to facilitate business recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
This Temporary Emergency COVID-19 Recovery Ordinance immediately enables restaurateurs and bar owners to, in certain circumstances, expand outdoor seating and other offerings. They will still go through a step-by-step process to receive an Outdoor Dining & Seating Permit, but the entire program has been streamlined.
