City staff have met with restaurant owners to discuss a proposed patio bylaw for HRM.
Adam Burns
The rules around sidewalk patios in HRM could soon change, now that city staff have met with restaurant owners to discuss the issue.
Staff have not released details of the proposed bylaw, as it has not been presented to council.
But the citys right-of-way supervisor tells Global News now is the time for a bylaw, since only a policy on patios exists now.
Itll give us some tools that maybe we should have at our disposal for explaining a little bit better what we expect to have out there, said Christopher Davis.
But for the most part, its really to just move with the industry.
Paul MacKinnon, executive director of the Downtown Halifax Business Commission, tells Global the commission is waiting to see the proposal before having its say but he did shed some light on what could be in the proposed bylaw.
The idea of having some cafes open year-round, if appropriate the other main piece that I think will probably raise a lot of questions is just the fee structure. It will be changing, MacKinnon said.
City staff is expected to present a report to council on the issue early next month.

Are you thinking about building or buying a cat patio?
An easy way to get inspired is to take a tour of catios. Two groups devoted to protecting felines and wildlife, theFeral Cat Coalition of Oregon and the Audubon Society of Portland, have organized the 2nd Annual Catio Tour in the Portland metro area from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6 ($5 suggested minimum donation, registration required at feralcats.com).
During the self-guided tour, pet owners will hear that free-roaming cats can get into a lot of trouble and housebound cats can get bored without an enclosed outdoor space where they can run, play out hunting instincts and snooze.
A guidebook has photos and construction information of the nine unique catios on the tour (watch a video). None of this year's catios was on the 2013 tour, giving last year's 700 tour goers new styles to see, says Karen M. Kraus of the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon and an advocate of the Cats Safe at Home campaign.
The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon and others offered the Oregonian's Pet Talk's writer Monique Balas these tips on building a catio:

A bill authored by Assemblywoman Mariko Yamada, D-Solano allowing dogs on restaurant patios has been signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Assembly Bill 1965 gives restaurants the option to allow pet dogs in their outdoor seating areas under specified conditions unless a local ordinance determines otherwise.
"It will soon be legal to take your beagle with you to dinner," Yamada said in a press release. "With Governor Brown's signature, restaurateurs in California will see more businesses catering to their customers and the canine companions they love. I wish everyone 'bone-apptit'."
AB 1965 does not mandate that restaurants allow dogs on their patios, but makes the practice permissible as long as basic health standards and local ordinances are followed. Restaurant owners could make this decision without the threat of a citation or lawsuit, while protecting public health.
"The governor's signature has elevated our pets to become an even greater part of our families," said Judie Mancuso, president of Social Compassion in legislation. "We hope to have a play date with our first dog, Sutter Brown and the governor."
This law will become effective on Jan. 1, 2015.

Waiter, I'll have what that beagle's having.
That's right, California: You may soon be dining out with more doggies than you can shake a tail at.
Gov. Jerry Brown -- owner of Sutter, California's "first dog" and an adorable Welsh corgi to boot -- has signed into law a bill making it perfectly legal to bring your dog out to dinner with you. (No word yet on whether the governor and Sutter are planning a night out to celebrate.)
Here's the fine print: the dog must remain in an outdoor-dining section, be on a leash, behave, and not be in the same area where food is being prepared.
(Yeah, right. As if some dog's gonna want to be in a place where food's being prepared.)
"I wish everyone 'bone-appetit,'" Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, the Assembly member who championed the bill, said in a statement. On her Facebook page, the lawmaker added: "Amidst all the horrific and depressing news around us, I hope this bill helps make people a little happier, and businesses who wish to accommodate diners with dogs safe from being unnecessarily cited."
The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, should provide some relief to dog lovers statewide, including owners who've been bringing their pets to restaurants for years and patrons who, in the eyes of the law, have been illegally allowing it.
"Hmm," said David Wiesner, chef/owner of Siena Bistro in Willow Glen, who for years has had a very pro-pooch patio policy on Thursday nights. "The law going into effect in January is the law that I thought was already in effect. This won't get me into trouble, will it?"
Wiesner has plenty of company among Californians long under the impression that dining in public with Fido was perfectly kosher. Until recently, according to an employee, the pet-crazy Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Concord would allow mutts at mealtime until some heartless anti-dog diners complained.

New law allows dogs to dine on restaurant patios
Fido can feast with you now when you go out to eat in California.
Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday said he signed a bill permitting petdogsat restaurants with outdoor spaces. It doesn't force restaurants to allowdogs, but rather implements guidelines for how they can accommodate pets.
Some local public health departments have alloweddogsin outdoor dining areas for years, but the state has banned the practice. Local jurisdictions can still ban it if they choose.
The bill requires a separate entrance for outdoor dining areas and says pets aren't allowed on chairs, seats or benches. They must be on a leash or in a pet carrier under control of the owner and owners have to clean up after them.
The law takes effect next year.
Poll: Should dogs be allowed on patios?

Should dogs be allowed on patios? California says yes
Dog-lovers across the state won a victory, or something, this week when Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill that permits dogs in outdoor seating areas at restaurants so long as the outdoor area has its own separate entrance and so long as Mr. Snuffles does not actually dine across from you in a seat.
The law, which takes effect next year, codifies local ordinances that already allowed the bringing of dogs onto restaurant patios in various locales, but still allows locales and restaurants to forbid dog dining if they choose, as the AP reports.
This began as Assembly Bill 1965, sponsored by Assemblymember Mariko Yamadas (D-Davis), and Yamada issued an appropriately goofy statement following the governor's signature on Thursday. "It will soon be legal to take your beagle with you to dinner, she said. With Governor Browns signature, restaurateurs in California will see more businesses catering to their customers and the canine companions they love. I wish everyone bone-apptit."
The law also doesn't pertain to service animals, which are already technically allowed in restaurants.
Dog lovers in most of L.A. County should expect no changes to their favorite dog-friendly eateries. That's because in 2012, L.A. County made a similar policy changethough that change did not apply to Long Beach, Pasadena or Vernon.
