Sidewalk cafes shall be permitted upon application to the City Manager. A license to operate a sidewalk cafe shall only be issued to applicants who will operate the cafe in connection with the operation of a restaurant on the first floor of the adjoining premises, which fronts or empties onto the street at the approximate location where the sidewalk cafe license is requested. The City Manager shall promulgate rules and regulations for the operation of the sidewalk cafes. Note: The granting of a license hereunder does not authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages. The State Liquor Authority has exclusive jurisdiction. See Appendix to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, § 48.4 in particular.
The license fee payable to the City of Auburn for sidewalk cafes shall be $20. Such license shall expire on December 31 of the year in which the license is issued.
