(A) Sidewalk cafés permitted under this article shall not operate earlier than 7:00 a.m. nor later than 12:00 midnight.
(B) Sidewalk cafés permitted under this article shall not play music, whether live or recorded, nor allow music to be played at the sidewalk café, other than through headphones.
(C) The operator of a sidewalk café shall install and maintain a physical boundary separating the permitted outdoor seating from the remainder of the public way. The operator shall leave six feet of public way unobstructed for pedestrian passage; the commissioner may alter this requirement by regulation in a situation where adherence to the requirement would make operation of a sidewalk café impossible and reduction of the unobstructed portion of the public way would not compromise pedestrian safety. The construction, configuration and other characteristics of the boundary, including landscaping, shall be set forth by regulation.
(D) Sidewalk cafés that are taverns shall allow for food service on the premises of the sidewalk café.
