Outdoor dining season is right around the corner! All restaurants planning to operate a seasonal outdoor dining area should apply for a permit using the following link:  Outdoor Dining Permitting and Information

• This annual permit allows operation of an outdoor dining area between April 1 and October 31 each year.
• Seasonal outdoor dining areas may be located on sidewalks, parking lots, or other open spaces in accordance with the provisions of Article II, Section 7.24 of the zoning regulations.
• Permit applications will be reviewed administratively by Town staff for compliance with the zoning regulations as well as all applicable health and safety codes. Please allow 1-2 weeks for review and issuance of a permit (the more detail you provide on your layout plan, the faster we can review).
• After the first year, permits may be renewed annually via an expedited process.
