'Now they also want to ban propane heat. Electric heat has to be run underground -- it's insane,' said one business owner about the city's new outdoor dining regulations.

PHILADELPHIA -- About 100 Philadelphia restaurant owners banded together on Wednesday for a public hearing on new regulations around the outdoor dining structures, known as"streeteries."During the two-hour virtual hearing, many restaurant owners argued the regulations will cost them too much money.

"We got building permits and did it proper two years ago. We need to get recertified with updated building permits and go through Arts Commission in addition to L&I to actually have it certified," said Brendan McGrew, explaining some of the proposed regulations. McGrew, who runs The Goat's Beard in Manayunk, is asking for a more streamlined process that isn't exactly one size fits all."Now they also want to ban propane heat. Electric heat has to be run underground -- it's insane, the cost. For us, we can't do it," added Tim Spinner, the chef and owner of Taqueria Amor.City officials will produce a report based on the feedback from Wednesday's meeting.
