City of Davis / Chamber of Commerce / Davis Downtown Business Association 2x2x2 - November 9, 2026

The City of Davis, Chamber of Commerce, and Davis Downtown Business Association 2x2x2 meeting on November 9, 2026, focused on downtown business issues and city program updates. Planning staff reported that 16 businesses had been identified for the public-space outdoor dining program; 10 had responded and three had completed the permitting process. Businesses must submit an interest form by the December 15 codified deadline. Staff plan further outreach in January, followed by warning letters and potential code-enforcement referrals for businesses that do not respond or comply. The program applies to dining in the public realm, not private property.

Staff also outlined ongoing work on mobile and sidewalk vending rules, including permit requirements, food-health compliance, accessibility and enforcement. The proposal is still being developed, with staff considering whether an interim ordinance could address vendors operating without required county health permits or city business licenses; that option would require legal review and direction from City Council. The meeting also included an update on Visit Yolo’s tourism marketing plans and discussion of business concerns. No contracts, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
