Patio dining is indeed the best use of that space when viewed from the benefit to FO Village as a whole. Architects spend lots of time and money trying to help businesses create a sense of place. Street-side dining is a proven way to do that. Parking issues never really go away in destination districts, but the benefit of the tradeoff for street-side dining is pretty easy to see in other places that are farther along in their redevelopment history. The historical main streets of Los Gatos, Half Moon Bay, Auburn and Grass Valley offer great examples. The entire street will definitely be that cool, don't doubt it for a second. Some design pros purposely move parking away from the front door of destination businesses, in order to get people walking. O Cafe is proven and is already doing good things for the rest of the street. The sense of place they are creating will become even more important when construction begins on the new park project. Street-side dining will help everyone in the long run, much more than it will affect Village parking by displacing two or three spaces. Solid concept. Support.
