You must submit a Sidewalk Cafes and Merchandise Display Application and have it approved by Planning and Zoning prior to being able to display merchandise and/or have outside dining area on a public right of way.   A $100.00 fee is required for outdoor dining and a $50.00 fee for outdoor merchandise display.  The permit must be displayed. Tables, chairs, umbrellas, merchandise, benches, trash receptacles, signs, and any other sidewalk obstruction should not be placed within five (5’) feet of a pedestrian or vehicular passage.
