Today Culver City issued a new Public Order allowing additional business types and recreational facilities to re-open beginning June 12. The order mirrors the Health Officer Order issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) on June 11, 2020.  Businesses are required to follow Public Health’s sector specific protocols, including infection control and distancing requirements.  Links to Public Health’s protocol’s for the specific sectors are available below:

• Gyms and fitness facilities
• Day camps (see note below about Culver City PRCS sponsored day camps)
• Museums, galleries, zoos and aquariums
• Campgrounds, RV parks and outdoor recreation (see note below about The Municipal Plunge Pool)
• Music, film and television production
• Hotels, lodging and short-term rentals for tourism and individual travel

Review what’s open and what’s closed in Culver City on the City’s business information webpage.

The Municipal Plunge Pool and in-person Culver City Day Camps are not yet open. Culver City is currently planning for reopening, including new staff training, registration, cleaning and social distancing protocols. We will announce re-opening dates to the public as soon as possible.

Pool and in-person day camp availability will be extremely limited after reopening. This is because of new Public Health required social distancing requirements to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  We are required to severely limit the size of groups of campers and the number of persons in the pool.  We will provide more details on program modifications as soon as we are able. We appreciate your patience during this challenging time.

Consistent with the City Council’s direction at its June 9, 2020 meeting, the City Manager has issued a new public order that makes several modifications to the City’s Zoning Code. The modifications:   

• Provide relief from parking requirements for outdoor dining areas;  
• Provide reduced parking requirements for new restaurant uses;   
• Create an expedited process for establishing outdoor dining and retail areas in private parking lots; 
• Allow takeaway alcohol services, consistent with the State Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Regulatory Relief efforts; and 
• Temporarily pause legal non-conforming use provisions so if a business’ operations are paused during the COVID-19 crisis, any legal non-conforming use status will still be available to them after the crisis has passed.
