The purpose of this article is to regulate and establish a standard
of conduct for the accessory use of City sidewalks by adjoining standard
restaurants who wish to extend beyond the confines of their premises
for food and beverage service.
For sidewalk areas adjacent to parcels zoned C-2 (Central Commercial)
and WF-2 (Waterfront Inland) Districts, which have a certificate of
occupancy for a standard restaurant, the operator of the restaurant
may obtain an accessory sidewalk cafe permit from the Director of
Public Works, subject to the following terms and conditions:
A. Permits for an accessory sidewalk cafe shall be limited to occupancy
of no more than 1/2 of the width of usable sidewalk area or five feet
of clear distance in front of the subject premises, whichever is greater,
free of all obstructions to allow adequate pedestrian movement. Accessory
sidewalk cafes are further subject to the following:
(1)
Evidence of public liability insurance naming the City as additional
insured covering the sidewalk area in question in a minimum amount
of $1,000,000 per individual or $2,000,000 per occurrence.
(2)
Execution of a release to the City releasing the City and defending,
indemnifying, and holding the City harmless from any and all liability
in connection with any claims, actions, proceedings, and lawsuits
brought, deriving from the permittee's use of the respective City
sidewalk area.
