Seattle corner store push hinges on Volunteer Park Cafe patio dispute
Original: If Seattle wants more corner stores, it has to figure out the Volunteer Park Cafe garden patio
Seattle officials are weighing how the Volunteer Park Cafe's garden patio fits into the city's efforts to encourage more small corner stores and neighborhood cafes. The Capitol Hill cafe's long-running outdoor seating area has become a test case for how zoning and permitting rules treat small businesses that expanded outdoor space. Local coverage argues resolving its status is key to making small-format retail easier citywide.
Why now: The city is revisiting land-use rules for small businesses and this local cafe has become the symbol of the permitting obstacles involved.
