Streatery Program Rulemaking Approval Resolution of 2026

This resolution approves permanent rules for managing street-side outdoor dining ("streateries") in Washington D.C. It establishes a permit program requiring businesses to pay $15 per square foot in fees to operate in public right-of-way, replacing a temporary program. The rules also create new civil infractions for violations, with penalties outlined in amended Chapter 43 of Title 16. The resolution directly affects restaurants and businesses operating outdoor dining, making the program permanent after public feedback reduced fees from $20 to $15 per square foot.
