Applicants must submit various required documents, including written consent from property owners, a detailed survey or site plan demonstrating the cafe's boundary and layout with a minimum six-foot unobstructed pedestrian pathway, an indemnification agreement, and a certificate of insurance naming the City as an additional insured. An approved Mercantile License for food handling is also necessary. A non-refundable fee of $150 is payable to the City of Ocean City.
