Bar and restaurant owners looking to add outdoor televisions to their patios in Tempe will soon face new regulations.
With flat screen TVs proliferating on patios across Tempe in recent years, city officials said it is time to create rules to ensure they don't become a nuisance that interferes with passing motorists or pedestrians.
"Televisions and technologies are becoming a more apparent use in restaurants and bars in our area," said Ryan Levesque, Tempe's deputy community development director. "We just want to make sure we're aware of that and can recognize there's a place and appropriateness in the patio design details."
No particular incident, such as a spike traffic accidents caused by patio televisions or a business installing an inordinate amount of TVs, led officials to seek new regulations, he said. The city just wants to get ahead of the issue to avoid potential problems.
The rules will not be part of a new ordinance, but instead will be on the checklist when a business submits design plans for approval. While nothing is definitive, some of the new rules could involve how much light a TV emits, where a TV is placed within a patio and whether it's installed safely.
"That way someone doesn't have to worry after the fact that it was installed improperly," Levesque said. "We're just trying to clarify that."
On Feb. 19, the City Council directed staff at the Community Development Department to create and implement new rules, which won't apply retroactively to existing businesses with patio televisions. It's not clear when they would take effect.
Bar owners said they hope the regulations won't diminish an Arizona tradition.

Tempe to create rules for TVs on patios
The Australian Defence Force is set to help survey cyclone-hit towns in central Queensland today as the region begins counting the cost of Cyclone Marcia.
The fierce category 5 system made landfall near Shoalwater Bay on Friday morning before grazing Yeppoon and passing over Rockhampton.
Leanne Smith, whose daughter and two grandchildren, aged 7 and 11, were evacuated from their Yeppoon home, said she couldn't believe what was left when she returned to survey the damage.
"I was actually really emotionally affected by it," Ms Smith told AAP.
"It's just not something you can really explain to people, it's actually quite devastating."
Miraculously, the family's goldfish survived the storm and was found swimming around in its small tank surrounded by the home's fallen walls.
"It was called Pig, but my grandson Tarn has renamed it Superfish after this," she laughed.
The system was gradually downgraded to a category 3 cyclone as it tracked down the coast, leaving a trail of destruction with many homes having roofs torn off.

Communities rally for clean-up after Cyclone Marcia
A man who murdered a prominent Melbourne interior decorator he'd been in a relationship with for 16 years has been jailed for 18 years with a minimum of 13.
Victorian Supreme Court judge Elizabeth Hollingworth said Michael Anthony O'Neill, 48, had 'snapped' and killed Stuart Rattle in the heat of the moment after Mr Rattle called him a frigid bitch.
O'Neill spent five days pretending nothing had happened, telling friends and co-workers Mr Rattle was feeling unwell, before setting fire to their South Yarra apartment.
Justice Hollingworth said O'Neill had trouble coming to terms with the fact he had killed the man he loved.
'There's plenty of evidence that you are devastated by what you have done,' Justice Hollingworth said.
O'Neill admitted to killing Mr Rattle by bludgeoning him over the head with a pan then strangling him with a dog leash after police found inconsistencies in his original story - that Mr Rattle had died in the fire. Mr Rattle begged O'Neill for his life, saying 'Michael don't do this', as he was strangled, Justice Hollingworth said.
The couple had a tense relationship and Mr Rattle would often complain about O'Neill to their friends, saying he didn't satisfy him sexually, she said.
'He would call you lazy, a parasite, he threatened to send you back to where you came from.'
But she added this in no way justified O'Neill's actions.
Mr Rattle's family said in witness impact statements his death left an enormous hole in their lives.

Victorian killer jailed for 18 years
We Are Open, reads the sign in front of The Back Porch Seafood and Oyster Bar on Scenic Hwy. in Destin. Resembling an active construction zone, the sign is a welcome sight for those wanting to dine at the famous eatery. The iconic 40-year-old restaurant is currently undergoing a series of renovations with hopes on finishing the improvements before the busy spring break season.
What we are doing basically is, we have expanded the gift shop and added all new bathrooms and we are opening up the front and expanding the main bar area, said General Manager Trey Horton.
Horton explained that some of the most exciting features of the renovations will be the front deck for customers waiting to be seated and a new open-air feature on the front side of the restaurant.
We have put in three garage doors that open to the front so that if you are driving by you can look through the restaurant and see all the way to the Gulf, he said. One of the largest problems about the way the building was built originally was that we only got the breeze from the back, but nothing anywhere in the dining room to let the breeze go through.
With the new design, three glass garage doors will be rolled open in fair weather to allow for ample natural lighting and pleasant breezes to diners.
In addition to the front of the restaurant, the main bar will also see construction with an elongated bar top to add 12 to 16 seats.
The bar area was way too small and the way the restaurant was built, it got really congested at the point near the bar, said Horton. It just wasnt working with the volume of people we have coming in.
As for the restrooms and gift shop located on the east side of the building, both are being completely remodeled.
Well have much bigger, nicer bathrooms and a much larger and expanded gift shop, said Horton.
When asked why the renovations were taking place now, Horton simply replied, It was time.
