Buellton Business Priveledge

We all want our local businesses to do well, especially during this fake COVID shutdown.  But, why is it that certain restaurants are allowed to take over pedestrian sidewalks and City owned parking spaces with their customer seating?
The City of Buellton might want to look at the liability of this practice.  So, let's say that a person eating at xxxx's falls while getting up after eating their meal.  Isn't the City of Buellton liable, since the person was now legally eating on City owned property?
Why should I pay for this as a tax payer?
Who gave this restaurant permission to "expand" their customer seating onto City owned property?
I never heard about it at a City council meeting.  Was this permission given behind closed doors?
Speak up and wake up people!
