The article says they did work it out for this year, but they don't want to buy patio furniture that would only meet requirements for this year.

By which I mean a place where a delivery truck can briefly park more or less right next to the business. In general I’m not sympathetic to claims that reducing parking is a problem, but businesses really do depend on delivery trucks being able to make their deliveries conveniently.
Our cities generally have very few laneways and seem to have assumed that curbside space is ubiquitous. Now that streets are sometimes being used for other purposes and street parking is often quite full anyway, it turns out there isn't really much of a strategy for loading and delivery.
This property possibly never had a "proper delivery point".
