Arlington County considers permanent zoning for outdoor dining

In Arlington County, there's a new push to make it easier for restaurants to maintain outdoor dining in public spaces.

Arlington County could make its outdoor dining program permanent.

The county's current outdoor dining rules will expire this summer.

T

he new proposal would make it easier for restaurants to get outdoor dining permits like during the pandemic.

Not everyone is on board with the plan. County officials have not yet said where they stand on the issue.

A decision could come in the coming months.
