Memorandum
Date: April 6, 2021
From: Brandon Swanson, Community Planning and Building Director
Subject: UPDATE: Orange Tier (Tier 3 – Moderate) Effective April 7, 2021
The Monterey County Health Officer announced today that the County will continue to align with the
State’s framework and allow activities open in Orange Tier counties to resume, effective Wednesday,
April 7, 2021.
This means restaurants are still allowed to welcome guests for indoor dining, with modifications for
Covid-safe operation, subject to the following conditions (Updated Conditions have been highlighted):
Limited to 50% of the Fire Marshall approved occupancy or 200 people, whichever is less.
o Example: 100-person max building occupancy = 50-person allowed indoor capacity.
Employees are NOT REQUIRED to count toward 50% indoor capacity (MCHD recommendation only)
o Indoor performers ARE REQUIRED to count towards 50% occupancy
Indoor dining hours shall be consistent with the approved Use Permit for the business.
Each restaurant must implement and follow an “Operating Control Plan” to ensure safe
operation practices like physical distancing, face coverings, signage, cleaning protocols, etc. A
control plan template from Monterey County Health has been attached to this memo.
o Monterey County Health Department will be continuing site visits to provide support as
needed with the implementation of safety protocols.
Adherence to all other State and County regulations for operating in the “Orange Tier” under
the Governor’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
In addition to the above direction for the opening of restaurants, effective April 7, 2021:
Wine tasting rooms are allowed to welcome guests indoors, with modifications for Covid-
safe operation, limited to 25% of the Fire Marshall approved occupancy or 100 people,
whichever is fewer. Employees do not count toward the 25% calculation. Performers do
count toward 25% calculation.
Bars may open for outdoor service in approved areas with modifications for covid-safe
operation.
o Indoor operation will be allowed in Yellow Tier (Tier 4 – Minimal).
Parklet hours/regulations do not change.
Parklet seating does not count towards indoor capacity.
