What does the outdoor dining change mean for Woodstock?

Woodstock's actual current code has not been checked against a specific outdoor dining ordinance change here, so no confirmed summary of what it means for restaurants and nearby homeowners can be given. In general, permitted outdoor dining footprints affect nearby parking and noise, which can matter to homeowners on a commercial corridor, while also supporting the kind of walkable downtown activity that tends to support nearby home values. Checking Woodstock's own city code confirms current rules for a specific address. Joel Boss can point you to Woodstock's planning or code office.
