Bad news, Ocean Pours fans: Last week, a letter to Mayor Jon Martin stated the Planning Commission recommends tents NOT be allowed permanently in business districts; in the same letter, PC Chair Dan Bricker noted the commission is happy Martin is in no hurry to remove the “temporary” tents.

I agree with the PC. The structures should be allowed to stay in place as long as they are reasonably maintained until 30 days after the state of WA officially declares the pandemic to be over and then, if the pandemic is re-declared within 2 years the structures should again be allowed within the same guidelines.
