Why would I need a Temporary Outdoor Expansion Permit?
The City of Northglenn is launching a temporary outdoor dining expansion program for restaurants and bars to maximize their capacity by utilizing outdoor seating on private or public property. Due to COVID-19, indoor seating is limited to 50% occupancy, not to exceed 50 people, and businesses must comply with Guidelines for Restaurants and Food Services, The city is encouraging businesses to think creatively to expand their operations for in-person dining while maintaining safe social distancing for customers. Businesses with a liquor license must also apply for an expanded liquor license permit for the temporary premises.
Where may I add outdoor space for customers?
Proposals can include expansion into designated outdoor areas such as adjacent parking lots, streets and sidewalks. Guidance and information required to expand into outside areas is included in the application.
What Businesses Need to Know:
- Businesses requesting to expand operations must apply for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP). The permit application must be submitted online or to the City’s Planning Division.
- Upon approval, the permits will be valid for 120 days.
- To ensure safe and functional operations and quick turnaround of the permit, please be sure to include all the information requested in the application. Staff will contact you if information is missing from your application or if there are concerns with the proposal.

- The City of Northglenn is waiving fees associated with the Temporary Use Permit.
