Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The case concerned a request to place tables on the sidewalk adjoining a restaurant in a pedestrian zone. The authority held that the terrace could be authorized because the remaining space for pedestrian circulation, and if needed for fire and rescue access, was sufficient. The decisive clearance was 3.50 meters in width and 4.10 meters in height. The request was therefore allowed under LR.56 al.1.

Omnilex-Regeste

LR.56 al.1; authorization for use of the public domain by a restaurant terrace on a sidewalk in a pedestrian zone; a precarious permit may be granted where the residual space left for pedestrians and, where applicable, for fire and rescue access is sufficient. The assessment turns on whether the proposed occupation still preserves adequate passage and vertical clearance; if those requirements are met, the private interest in operating the terrace may prevail without impairing the public use of the way (consid. unspecified).
