3. That the tables and chairs will not unduly disrupt pedestrian and vehicular movement.
4. That the applicant has signed an Indemnification Statement holding the City of Carlsbad harmless
from any legal action resulting from placement of the tables and chairs on the public sidewalk.
5. That a Certificate of Insurance naming the City of Carlsbad as additionally insured in a minimum
amount of $1 million, as established by the Risk Manager for the City, has been submitted to the
City and will remain in effect for as long as the tables and chairs remain in the public right-of-way.
Conditions:
1. Approval is granted for RP 2017-0016 as shown on Exhibits "A" -"B" dated February 1, 2018 on
file in the Planning Division and incorporated herein by reference. Development shall occur
substantially as shown unless otherwise noted in these conditions.
