Extension of Premises

Restaurant Extension of Premises Process

The City of Glendale wants to make it easy for existing restaurants to expand their serving areas (premises) in order to create more space between diners. If you have an existing restaurant and want to extend the premises to maintain physical distancing requirements for up to 180 days consider these questions/steps:

3. DO YOU WANT TO EXTEND ONTO PUBLIC PROPERTY/RIGHT OF WAY?
If yes contact Fire Marshall’s Office at 623.930.4421.
If no, talk to your property manager.






If the answer to all three questions is no, the restaurant doesn’t need a permit and can proceed with permission from the property owner/manager. If the answer to any of these questions is yes, please contact the appropriate office listed above.

For existing restaurants these permits can be approved very quickly for a period of up to 180 days and can be renewed.
