Operative words
The order authorizes the use of 'parklets' by Vancouver restaurants looking to expand seating capacity during Phase 2 and 3 of the state's phased reopening plan through the city's new Street Eats Program. (Clark County remains in Phase 1 at this time.)... The new emergency order also extends the duration of several previous emergency orders as follows: extends city community center closures to July 5; extends the suspension of on-street parking enforcement to June 30; extends requirements that landlords, their contractors and representatives wear personal protective equipment and adhere to physical distancing protocols recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Clark County Public Health Department when entering the interior of a rental unit or property located within the city limits to July 31; extends the city's internal infection disease control policy related to physical distancing and safety protocols until the city's state of emergency order is lifted; extends the city's internal telecommuting policy until the city's state of emergency is lifted.
Enforcement
VMC ch. 2.12 emergency orders; parklet permits conditioned on City approval
Notes
Confirms from the City's own words that Clark County remained in Safe Start Phase 1 on May 29, 2020 (dining rooms closed statewide in Phase 1) and that the landlord PPE rule ran to July 31, 2020.
